Wheelie (Movie)


 * Wheelie, aka Wheels, is a potty mouth Decepticon who later join the Autobots in the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film continuity family.



Revenge of the Fallen film

 * Voice actor: Tom Kenny (English)



Wheelie was originally a Decepticon sent to spy on Sam. He takes the form of an RC monster truck and claims to be a salvage/scrap drone. He uses his thermal camera to track the allspark fragment in Mikaela's purse. He follows Mikaela home with the intention of stealing the Cube shard Sam gave her and tries to crack her safe. Unfortunately for him, he steps in a rat trap, and tells the dog "what are you looking at slobber puss" and attracts her attention. Mikaela captures him and burns out his left optic with a blowtorch to get him to talk. He swears at her, calling her a "crazy bitch." She later takes him with her to visit Sam. After Mikaela releases him to help decipher the language of the Primes, Wheelie recognizes the pictures of various Seekers in their alt modes and reveals where they are. He leads them to Jetfire, the closest one. When they find the old coot, Wheelie is impressed by him as he was apparently an important Seeker. While speaking to Jetfire, Wheelie learns that Jetfire defected and decides to do the same, awkwardly walking up to Mikaela and humping her leg. After being sent through a space bridge by Jetfire, he complains about the treatment.

Dark of the moon film
Voice Actor: Tom Kenny

Wheelie is shown to have survived the events of the Egypt battle, and returns in Dark of The Moon. In this film, Wheelie lives with Samuel Witwicky and Carly with his new friend, Brains. Once again, Wheelie is rude to Sam's new girlfriend, and both he and Brains express their distaste in how they live. Wheelie is among the Autobots who leave Earth in the spaceship, and is thought to have died when the ship is destroyed by Starscream. However, it is revealed that Wheelie and the others survived by hiding in one of the booster pads, which landed back on Earth before Starscream attacked. Wheelie and Brains accompany the other Autobots in the battle at Chicago, but are accidently left behind by the Wreckers. The two decide to hijack a downed Decepticon shuttle, which they use to fly to the main Decepticon ship. After sabotaging the ship, Wheelie and Brains fly to where Soundwave (ROTF), Barricade (Movie), and other Decepticons have imprisoned Bumblebee, Ratchet, and several other Autobots. However, they lose control of the ship, and crash into a river. This distracts Soundwave from killing Bumblebee, and the remaining Autobots kill the Decepticons. Although it is unknown if Wheelie and Brains survived, they state that they "had a good run," implying that they were killed in the crash.

Toys



 * Wheelie (Deluxe, 2009)
 * Wheelie transforms into a tiny blue R/C monster tuck. The only gimmick he has is that he has the ability to change faction symbols. Never heard that bef-wait a minute...

Also, like the toy based on his namesake, Wheelie has no weapons whatsoever.


 * Wheelie (Legends, 2010)

Tinyer then a scout, but behemoths all other legends, except for Devastator (ROTF).

Trivia

 * He's considered a failure and embarrassment to the Decepticons.
 * He thinks Megan Fox Mikaela is hot, but not too bright.


 * He seems to have a dislike for dogs.


 * Wheelie's optic loses its red glow and appears to turn blue when Mikaela torches it. It'd be a pretty neat trick if it could still function at all after that kind of abuse.


 * He seems to have a Brooklyn accent.


 * His personality was modeled on various characters portrayed by actor Joe Pesci, but is still vaguely reminiscent of another loudmouth on wheels.


 * Though he vanishes from the film while in Egypt, Wheelie does appear at the end of the junior novelization of the film, where he drives circles around the reunited Witwicky family while saying, "Yippie!".


 * Although he is much shorter than his namesake and more annoying, at least he doesn't talk in rhyme.


 * He seemingly hates being with the Decepticons as he states "you mean you don't have to work for those miserable freakin' Decepticons". He also uses the words "freakin'" and "friggen'" alot.
