Featured    This article is a featured article, and considered to be one of the most informative on this wiki.


The name or term Wheelie refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Wheelie (disambiguation).



Wheelie, so small, is an Autobot child. But when stakes are high, he gets mean and wild! He carries a slingshot that shoots hurtful things; they'll hit your nose (the projectile, it stings). He has a speech pattern that's structured in rhyme, and he hangs out with Daniel most of the time.

Some think he's annoying and wish he would die. His answer to that? Here's death in your eye.

"Wheelie say find friends today!"

None too far did Wheelie roam - still, he called Quintesson his home. For Rodimus Prime he was quite the spy, he liked to report on what locals would try. The rescue of Wreck-Gar was his claim to fame, then Wheelie helped spoil the Quintessons' name. Space Pirates!

Toys

Generation One

G1Wheelie toy
  • Wheelie (Mini Vehicle, 1986)
    • Japanese ID number: C-80
Wheelie's transformation does not go very far, he turns into a generic "futuristic car". Surprisingly enough, the fans' fancy he tickles, as he's the only new mold of the third-year Mini Vehicles.
This mold was redecoed much later on, into an old friend of Prime's who was named Dion.
  • Future Cybertron (Transformers Collection, 2005)
    • Japanese ID number: TF-20
Wheelie was reissued in a Japanese "Transformers Collection" set. Targetmaster Kup and Recoil, you also did get! The reissue's different in an unexpected way; where the old face was orange, the new one is gray!

Universe (2008)

  • Wheelie (Legends, 2009)
UniverseWheelie
Yes, they've actually made this toy. It's surprising they brought back the ol' boy. He goes from humanoid to "Junk Planet Speeder", rather appropriate for the little bleeder. And lo and behold — we slag you not! — his sculptor’s given him his trusty slingshot! To his right shoulder-plate it’s affixed, although its removability was nixed.

Generations

  • Wheelie (Deluxe, 2013)
Gen-wheelie
  • Accessories: Slingshot/blaster.
An exclusive the toy was, elusive to us. Unless in Asia you reside, or with Toys 'R' Us you side. He certainly has Snazz, he is a re-mold of Transformers Jazz!


Notes

  • In the first commercial where Wheelie does appear, his voice didn't sound anywhere near! Although the actor was very much the same, much deeper and darker Wheelie's voice came. Instead of the shrill rhyming 'bot we all knew, he sounded exactly like that mutt Scrappy-Doo!
  • Chris Ryall said Wheelie would get a spotlight on his blog. His hide the fans now wish to flog. On Jizai's design Klaus Scherwinski did base, for Wheelie's sake he does not lose face.
  • Among those who dislike Wheelie is Floro Dery, his creator—really! Dery's said that of all his Transformers designs, Wheelie's the one that he most maligns—maybe even the only one! Honest, it's true! You can read for yourself in this interview![1]
  • In Armada, his animation model was used. He agreed with his boss, and Hot Shot was abused. They believed Hot Shot's friend had died in those flames. Thanks to those jerks, Hot Shot is who he blames.
  • Whoever made all of this rhyme, must have had a lot of time!
    • There's so much rhyme, to a degree, that I must say that I agree!
