This is a fun thread. Does Backstop count as weird? I will defend him to my dying day, but he's a weird little scamp

I actually own Turbo, the red one. Well, I technically don't, I surely own the Ertl US release which is unrelated to TF, but still.

Looking at closer, more detailed pictures of RotF Wheelie, I just have to say...KILL IT WITH FIRE!!! He's like the unholy rape union of Johnny 5 and Bayformer Frenzy, and definitely worse than BM Scavenger.

Meh, if his personality is as entertaining as Frenzy's was, then I'll probably buy the toy based on character alone. It's not *that* bad, in my opinion.

...BM Scav is awesome.

And I really hate the term 'Bayformers,' seriously, it's like...It's not like he sat down and drew design sketches for all these guys. It's stupid to call it that when 'so many' people had a hand in designing these things. C'mon.

And am I the only one getting a definite Wall-E vibe from his head?

Wall-E by way of Johnny 5, but yeah I can see it.

Movie Wheelie'd look better in some more dynamic poses.

But, for fear of bringing Blot up again, well...

Some of my favourite TF(toy)s are "unusual/ugly". So, eh!
COME TO TFVIEWS oh you already did

I like Wheelie, he looks neat. :<
Neater than the Twins, anyway!

Also, Alpha-Q. Now there's a bizarre piece of work.
