Transformers G1 Autobot Wheelie is a beloved character from the original 1980s Transformers franchise. Introduced in the 1986 animated film Transformers: The Movie, Wheelie is a small, orange Autobot known for his rebellious yet charming personality. Unlike many Autobots, Wheelie was initially a Decepticon but quickly switched sides to join the heroic Autobots. Despite his small size, he's brave and always ready for action, often assisting the Autobots with reconnaissance and those more daring missions.
Wheelie is now returning to his G1 roots as Hasbro unveils its latest Walmart Collector Con exclusive with a new Transformers Retro G1 release. Standing 4.5" tall, Wheelie is back in that classic G1 format but with updated articulation and detail. His iconic futuristic car mode is featured, and he can be converted into it in just 23 steps. Hasbro has also included his signature slingshot weapon, and he will come in retro packaging featuring tech specs. Pre-orders for Autobot Wheelie are set to arrive exclusively at the Walmart Collector Con on 10/10 at 10 AM EST for $24.99, and he will release along with Autobot Outback.
