The Jangle Man

The Story of Wheelie is one of survival, slingshots, and suspicious design decisions.

Often dismissed as the rhyming runt of the Autobots, The Transformers Wheelie’s journey through toy shelves, comics, cartoons—and even live-action creepdom—is anything but ordinary. In this deep dive, I'll explore how a character with a tragic backstory, savage instincts, and undeniable resilience became one of the most divisive bots in the Transformers universe. From his infamous G1 toy to his turn as “Jangle Man” in the IDW comics, this is the wild, weird, and possibly wonderful story of Wheelie—love him or loathe him, you can’t ignore him.

It's All Just A Blurr

The Story of Blurr, the Speedy Transformer Who Couldn’t Outrun His Own Clunky Toy Design

The story of Blurr is one of speed, style, and some seriously questionable toy proportions. From being the least favorite of the futuristic trio introduced in Transformers: The Movie, to racing through time in the UK comics, to becoming a bar-owning ex-racer in IDW, Blurr's journey has taken him far beyond just talking fast. Whether he's intercepting secret transmissions, outrunning Unicron, or finally getting a toy that does him justice (maybe), Blurr has always been more than just a blue streak. In this video, we explore every major version of Blurr—from his G1 roots to his tragically cubed fate in Transformers Animated—with plenty of commentary, deep-ish lore, and toy collector takes along the way.
