| This page is for the fearsome barbarian trike. / See Wheelie (G1) for the cheerful survivalist tyke! For the rest of the Wheelie population / Go check out Wheelie (disambiguation). |
- Wheelie is an Autobot, but probably an ass / Seeing as he comes from the world of Shattered Glass.
So he's built like Conan.
The barbarian-lord Wheelie couldn't be worse
He's cunning, he's massive, and he speaks in verse.[1]
Fiction
Fun Publications Shattered Glass continuity
When Ultra Magnus staged a coup / Wheelie joined the traitor's crew,
Beat Sky Lynx in embarrassing fashion and / left him fearing anything assonant. Sky Lynx's profile in Club magazine #26
Notes
- Sky Lynx's profile was Wheelie's one mention / Prior to the 2014 convention.
- There, on a souvenir chase card / Turning into a three-wheeled racecar,
- Wheelie's design was finally shown / To be a retool of Dark Crumplezone.[2]
- Trent Troop had mocked-up the idea / As a toy concept earlier that year.[3]
- The hypothetical Wheelie figure / Would have had a purple redeco of Jigu.
- "The idea was that if Wheelie fights Sharkticons / then SG Wheelie would fight with a Sharktigun."[3]
- We think this concept might also draw / From Dreamwave Wheelie's good buddy Gnaw.
- The Shattered Glass Machine Wars tag / Referenced a fandom gag.
References
- ↑ Profile for Shattered Glass Sky Lynx / From Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club #26
- ↑ On tumblr, David Willis reviews the History of Wheelie for a user.
