Wheelie is supposed to be Dion. What a rip off! If I recall correctly, werent Orion and Dion supposed to be brothers? Hence, both could have shared the same basic structure before their resurrection as Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus. The least they could do was issue two Kup bodies, with different colors and resculpted heads. Kup's design was basic for all pre Autobot bodies prior to the 3rd Cybertronian Wars nearly 10,000,000 years ago.

Dion, Prime's twin is then revealed to be Ultra Magnus in the Dreamwave comic series. IMO they should have released two Kups with Blur's head. one white an blue the other red and blue. or at least release a repainted rodimus prime to represent the younger Lt. Optimus Prime as he appeared in the original marvel series.

My point exactly! Remold Blurr's face to simulate a youthful Hotrod and you get Orion. As for the Dreamwave continuity.....I believe it has been rendered mute and academic that Dion is indeed Ultramagnus/Optimus' brother with the release of the MP-2 (Makes sense though that Brad Mick made the connection given that Prime and Magnus share the basic default trransform mode)

although the relationship between Prime and Magnus was never really explored in the original series. why wheelie though? that's just bonkers. i'd pay to see a rodimus prime sans flames with white trailer repaint as Lt Optimus Prime though
