Talk:Wheelie (ROTF)

Oh ok! Sorry, this is my first page so I didnt know.

Wheels and his deity

Do I want to know why Wheels refers to Mikaela as "Warrior Goddess", or would I spoil myself? -- SFH 00:33, 27 May 2009 (EDT)

The latter. That's why the quote is blacked out, because it's related to a spoiler. -Derik 11:34, 11 June 2009 (EDT)

Wheels vs. Wheelie

Okay, I assume he's "Wheels" in the coloring book, but the toy, now officially shown at BotCon, is definitely "Wheelie." Do we have more sources that name him as one than the other?--Rosicrucian^Talk 12:06, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

He is unnamed in the comic adaptation. - Starfield 12:14, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

All the novel adaptions call him Wheels. -Derik 13:14, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

Paramount calls him Wheelie, so I have moved the article back. [1] --FFN 13:26, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

Toy scale

Some newbie editor wrote this in the toy section: "He's in the movie, passes for a real life RC toy, and his robot mode is one of the closest to his in-canon scale ever produced." As I recall, the on-set Wheelie radio control truck was considerably larger than the deluxe class toy. In fact, most radio control vehicles with full functions tend to be bigger than Deluxe class toys. --FFN 13:31, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

But others are about the size of a 1984 Bumblebee toy. (micro RC cars were big last x-mas.) -Derik 14:31, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

this shows that in the movie he's about Leader class size and thuss the deluxe is not real life scale. Also it sounds like Tom Kenny voices him as he sounds kinda like Spongebob. Dead Metal 08:30, 11 June 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, that's obviously Tom Kenny, and does sound like a mix between Spongebob and Rattrap. So what do we do with the toy section notes about his size? He's not deluxe size in the movie (yeah the toy might be a centimeter taller that Lockdown but it's not that big), he looks to be coming off at about Masterpiece Prime height, maybe a little taller. How tall is Megan Fox anyways (you know, for comparisons sake)?--AWT88 11:13, 11 June 2009 (EDT)

I have restated the phrase as a observational point instead of hard fact. I had actually changed it before, but someone else quickly changed it back. Since it stayed that way for some time, I assumed the community accepted the phrasing. I admit the toy passes more for a made up micro RC toy than the actual one he assumes, but that is nonetheless suggestive of a real life RC toy in the same vein as the Real Gear Robots line. My point with the scale comment was not that it was his official scale, but that with his in fiction robot and alt modes being very small, his toy comes far closer in scale to his official size than any character that become real world vehicles, much like (as far I know) Armada Laserbeak, who became a handheld camera. --Pich Black 11:36, 11 June 2009 (EDT)
