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. He's last seen following the group into the Pyramid gate, after which he mysteriously disappears.

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...


 * Wheelie (Legends, 2010)
 * A Legends class version of the Deluxe Wheelie toy.

Trivia

 * He thinks Megan Fox 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.

-->
 * 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!".
