Wheelie (Movie)

Wheelie is a Model S.D.-196 salvage scrap drone from the factories north of Burthov docks, Cybertron. He is potty-mouthed little jerk of a 'bot. The bigger robots push him around a lot, which explains why he fell in with the Decepticons in the first place, but really he'll follow anyone who bullies him into compliance. He and Brains are friends.

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.

Wheelie lives with Sam 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.

Later, Wheelie is among the Autobots who leave Earth in the spaceship, he tries to warn Sam and Mearing that it is Decepticons' trap. He 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 accidentally left behind by the Wreckers. The two decide to hijack a downed Decepticon fighter, which they use to fly to the main Decepticon ship. After sabotaging the ship, Wheelie and Brains fly to where Soundwave, Barricade, and other Decepticons have imprisoned Bumblebee, Ratchet, Dino and Que, but arrive too late. However, the damage they do causes the ship to crash into a river. This distracts Soundwave from killing Bumblebee, and the remaining Autobots kill the Decepticons. They state that they "had a nice run" before the ship crashes.
