:''Wheelie is an Autobot and a Decepticon from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]]. He is sometimes known as '''Wheels'''.

'''Wheelie''' is a sneaky little salvage and scrap bot, always underfoot when you least expect it. As a reconnaissance specialist, he's equipped to the teeth with mid-range surveillance equipment. But his real asset is stealth, tooling along unseen and unsuspected while he accomplishes his mission. Unfortunately for his mission, he often bites off more than he can chew—and ends up being the one chewed on!

Wheelie isn't really a ''bad'' sort: a loving home and a little strict discipline could whip him into shape, although he does seem to have a bit of a "mouth" on him.

During the Decepticon plot to frame [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] and [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], Wheelie was parachuted onto their prison convoy by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Once there, he swiftly freed the twins and offered them a place in the Decepticons before he made good his escape.

[[Image:Wheelie ROTF movie trailer.jpg|thumb|right|300px|No disassemble!]]

Disguised as a remote-controlled monster truck toy, Wheelie was ordered by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to steal the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] fragment that belonged to [[Mikaela Banes]]. Wheelie attempted to unlock the safe in her garage containing the fragment, but the noise he made in trying to avoid the various dangerous objects on the floor alerted her to his presence, so she picked him up with tongs and burnt out his left eye with a blowtorch. Mikaela then demanded to know what he was doing there, and Wheelie explained that he needed to bring the All Spark shard to the Decepticons, or he'd be terminated, begging mercy of Mikaela, who he dubbed "Warrior Goddess". Despite his protests, Mikaela locked him inside a box, which she took to [[Princeton University]] when [[Sam Witwicky]] told her he had been having visions and breakdowns induced by the fragment. Although [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] later bisected Mikaela's car, Wheelie's box was undamaged and she retrieved and stored it in [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s boot.

Wheelie was let out of the box at [[Seymour Simmons]]'s deli in [[New York City]]. Mikaela held him with a chain, but promised she would not hurt him if he promised to explain the [[Cyberglyphics]] Sam had been hallucinating about. Wheelie identified the symbols as the Language of the [[Dynasty of Primes|Primes]], and said that he couldn't read it. When he noticed the pictures of suspected Transformers, he identified them as the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]], saying they could read the language and he could tell them where to find them. Wheelie did, and he accompanied Mikaela, Sam, Simmons, [[Leo Spitz]], Bumblebee, [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to find [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] at the Smithsonian. Wheelie told the humans that Jetfire was a living legend, like "chairman of the board" type, and instructed Sam to point the shard at the Blackbird.

[[Image:ROTF-Wheeliedryhumpsaleg.jpg|left|thumb|300px|This is the culmination of 25 years of Transformers fiction. You've come a long way, baby.]]
The surge of energon sent through Jetfire awoke the ancient Seeker, who was irritable and cantankerous, and Wheelie noted that Jetfire had not aged very well. As the larger Decepticon made his way outside, he inquired on the state of the civil war, and informed the group that he had defected years earlier. Wheelie was shocked by Jetfire's discussion of how he defected from the Decepticons to the Autobots, a thought which had never occurred to him, and decided he too would defect to Warrior Goddess, humping Mikaela's leg in joy. Sam objected, but Mikaela noted Wheelie was faithful, [[Alice|unlike]] her boyfriend. That did not stop Sam from punting Wheelie.

Wheelie was taken by Jetfire's [[space bridge]] to [[Jordan]], and from there he travelled with the humans and Autobots to the [[Pyramid]]s of [[Egypt]]. He was present in when Bumblebee was stopped by the Egyptian checkpoint officers. They arrived in Cairo, where he presumably decided to stay safely while everyone else searched for the [[Tomb of the Primes]]. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{Note|Wheelie is never seen again after entering the run-down building in Cairo with the human characters.}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' novelization===
In Egypt, Wheelie stopped a police car by jumping onto its windscreen and smashing it, before Bumblebee and the Twins scared off the officers. After that he ripped off a wiper as a trophy, ran back to Mikaela and buried his face in her cleavage. Bloody hell. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (novel)}}

:''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Wheelie features an [[insignia]] that changes from Decepticon to Autobot. He is highly poseable, with an articulated neck, individual fingers, eyes, and mouth (all part of his transformation scheme), although his shoulder joints are rather stiff. His chest panel can be switched between Autobot and Decepticon symbols, which is probably the Mech Alive feature of this toy. While transforming him from 'bot to truck, the two halves of the hood and fenders that are suppose to connect together a difficult to push together. Care should be taken when doing this, or you'll break the clear plastic tab that forms his headlights. Another thing is that his legs are extremely difficult to get fully together in R/C truck mode, but not impossible. Oddly enough, his right eye features more detailing than the left. While this suggests that Hasbro knew about his eye damage, both optics are painted in the same (inaccurate) colour. Wheelie also features a highly generic [[alternate mode]], looking nowhere similar to the Ford F-350 body of the RC truck from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|movie]]. He has both one of the smallest alternate modes and one of the largest robot modes of any Deluxe Class figure. Odd.

*Wheelie does not have a fast-talking Brooklyn accent in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|novelization]] nor in the [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] [[Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation|comic adaptation]]. Instead, he talks more in a primitive [[The Transformers (cartoon)|''Generation 1'' cartoon]]/''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Animated]]'' [[Dinobot (disambiguation)|Dinobot]] fashion.

*Seeing Mikaela for the first time, Wheelie describes her as "hot" but "not too bright." Interesting that a sentient machine would find a human sexually attractive. He, in fact, humps her leg later in the movie.

* In their audio commentary on the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' DVD and Blu-ray release, screenwriters [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] refer to Wheelie by his early working name, "Wheels". [[Michael Bay]], meanwhile, calls him by his toys' name.

: ''Darth Vader is a [[human]] in [[Star Wars]].''

[[Image:VaderVsPrime.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Does Darth Vader have to choke a bitch?" is always a rhetorical question.]]
'''Darth Vader''' was once a man named '''Anakin Skywalker''' who converted to the dark side. He is possessed of great power, cunning, and speed. Once he called [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] "master" although the exact nature of that relationship (could such a powerful being have once been a Jedi's slave?) and how it ended remain a mystery. He's been a member of the [[Jedi]] himself, and has been called "the most gifted pilot in the galaxy". He flies a variety of ships, at some point even an odd spherical "[[Death Star]]", all of which can transform into a humanoid robot designed in his own image. Despite all the imposing weapons at his disposal, he is a very powerful man, one of the most powerful masters of the [[Force]], in his own right, known to fight [[Transformer|Cybertronians]] ''on foot''.

He is presumably related to the similarly named [[Luke Skywalker]] in some way.

== Fiction ==
===''Star Wars Transformers''===

Shortly after being converted from his previous beliefs to the [[Sith]] faction, Darth Vader is given the task of crushing all resistance to the [[Emperor Palpatine|Emperor]] across the galaxy. Piloting his new, heavily modified Sith Starfighter and wielding dark power, he morphs his spacecraft into an imposing combat robot.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Darth Vader Sith Starfighter package</ref>

Later, as a sinister Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader is on a mission to crush the Rebels and bring young [[Luke Skywalker]] before the Emperor. Vader combs the galaxy for Skywalker in his TIE Advanced Fighter, another spacecraft that can morph into a humanoid robot, destroying all Rebel ships, pirate fleets, and asteroids that get in his way.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Darth Vader TIE Advanced Fighter package</ref>

Using his advanced TIE mecha once more, Vader participates in a shattering starship battle with his former master. Unable to best his opponent in giant robot combat Darth Vader is forced to fall back on his ship's vehicle mode's missile defenses. Giving us a true sense of their power, we learn that like [[Primus]] and [[Unicron]] before them, the conflict between these two powerful force users is enough to rock an entire galaxy.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Darth Vader "Galactic Showdown" set</ref>

:A [[retool]] of the [[Saesee Tiin]] [[wikia:starwars:Delta-7_Aethersprite-class_light_interceptor|Delta-7 interceptor]] mold into a [[wikia:starwars:Delta-7B_Aethersprite-class_light_interceptor|Delta-7B]] (the difference being that the [[R2-D2|astromech droid]] is in the center of the craft instead of on the left wing) and featuring a new head. Anakin once again comes with two lightsabers/missiles, this time fired from the thrusters on the starfighter's hyperdrive ring. Unlike the toys released under the ''Star Wars Transformers'' banner, this toy does not come with a tiny pilot figure.

:This version of the mold was retooled with new heads to make [[Ahsoka Tano]] and [[Kit Fisto]]'s Jedi Starfighters, while the original Saesee Tiin version was also used to make [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] and [[Plo Koon]].

==Notes==
* The Darth Vader/Death Star Transformer was at one point going to be based around the incomplete second Death Star shown in ''Return of the Jedi'' and had a similarly incomplete robot mode with one shattered eye.<ref>Hasbro Design Sketchbook Volume 1 - 2008, p 12-13</ref> This was eschewed in favor of using the complete Death Star and robot mode. It is otherwise identical to the concept art.

Clone pilot

2009-12-11T03:14:49Z

199.126.128.8: /* Star Wars Transformers */

{{factions|galacticrepublic}}
:''Clone Pilots are mass-produced [[Galactic Republic|Republic]] soldiers in [[Star Wars]].''

The '''Clone Pilots''' are (part of) the Republic's most elite military force, accompanied by their grounded cousins, the [[Clone Trooper]]s. They are key combatants in a large-scale military conflict known as the [[Clone Wars]]. War being a great motivation for technological innovation by [[Human|humans]], "morphing" is developed during the Clone Wars. <ref>Star Wars Transformers Clone Pilot ARC-170 Starfighter package</ref> This is the local term for the heretofore-unknown technology of [[transformation]], which at this time is known to be used by the Army of the Republic for four types of machines: their ARC-170 starfighters, airborne Gunships, Turbo Tanks and V-19 Torrent Starfighters.

They also pilot non-transforming vehicles. It is unknown if these are exclusively older weapons systems or if single-mode vehicles continue to have an irreplaceable role in combat.

Who are they cloned from? For some reason, we're not being told.

==Fiction==
===''Star Wars Transformers''===
Their Republic Gunships are in use sweeping across [[Geonosis]], blasting the Separatist forces with their armament of missiles. A Clone Pilot can land in the middle of a fierce battle between droids and clone troopers and convert the gunship into a heavily armed combat mecha that goes straight for [[Battle Droid|enemy droids]]. <ref>Star Wars Transformers Republic Gunship package</ref>

*'''Clone Pilot/ARC-170 Starfighter''' (2006)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, Clone Pilot figure

:The first transforming Clone Pilot toy turns from a [[ARC-170 Starfighter]] into a battle robot with wings sticking off its body here and there. The fighter has two missile launchers hanging off its wings that become handheld weapons in robot mode. The toy comes with a tiny pilot mini-figure that can be seated inside the craft in both modes.

**''Accessories:'' 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, Clone Pilot figure

:A [[retool]] and [[redeco]] of the previous toy, with a new head mold and a new deco, replacing the maroon stripes with dark blue "tigershark" detailing and a grinning red mouth. The Clone Pilot accessory is also provided with new, matching colors.

*'''Clone Pilot/Republic Gunship''' (2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, Clone Pilot figure

: The second ''Star Wars Transformers'' Clone Pilot toy transforms from a winged robot into a [[Republic Gunship]]. Like the ARC-170, it's armed with twin missile launchers in both modes and comes with a little pilot. The toy's head is sculpted from a shiny white plastic that doesn't mesh particularly well with the beige-ish color of the altmode.

===Crossovers===
*'''ARC-170 Starfighter to Clone Pilot''' (2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles

:The ''Star Wars Transformers'' "tigershark" version of the ARC-170 toy was repackaged for the ''[[Crossovers]]'' toyline. The only difference between the two releases is that this version lacks a Clone Pilot mini-figure.

{{-}}
*'''Republic Gunship to Clone Pilot''' (2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles

:Just like the ARC-170, the "tigershark" Republic Gunship toy was re-released during ''Crossovers'' without its pilot figure.

: The first new Clone Pilot mold under the ''Crossovers'' banner transforms into a three-winged [[V-19 Torrent Starfighter]]. This incarnation of the Clone Pilot is also armed with two missile launchers/handguns. While it doesn't come with a pilot figure, the cockpit still opens up to seat one.

[[Image:Crossovers-toy_ClonePilotVwing.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Clone Pilot to V-wing Starfighter''' (2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

: A black, white and grey [[redeco]] of the [[Shock Trooper]] toy, transforming into a [[V-wing Starfighter]] with two firing two-pronged missiles. It has an [[Empire|Imperial]] emblem instead of a Republic one!

{{-}}

==Notes==
* Within the ''Star Wars'' universe, the blue and white "space whale" deco was originally only seen on Republic Gunships. The ''Star Wars Transformers'' line marked the first time it was applied to ARC-170 fighters and Clone Trooper armor. It was, of course, only a matter of time before versions of each came out for the normal [[Hasbro]] ''Star Wars'' toy line. ''Transformers'' has added to the main ''Star Wars'' [[canon]]. Awesome.
* Yes. This army builder has the most toys.

General Grievous

2009-12-11T03:12:14Z

'''General Grievous''' has trained in the art of lightsaber combat with the evil [[Count Dooku]]. He is skilled in several unorthodox fighting techniques, such as a "furious four-[[lightsaber]] assault", and has used these skills to cut down several [[Jedi]] Knights. Now, Grievous changes into Wheel Bike mode to hunt and destroy [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] and the remaining Jedi.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' General Grievous / Wheel Bike package</ref> He is the leader of the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems|Separatist]] army, which apparently has lots of [[Battle Droid|droids]].<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Obi-Wan Kenobi / Jedi Starfighter package</ref> We're repeatedly told that he's much-feared, and he is guarded by his personal bodyguards, the [[MagnaGuard]]s.<ref>''Crossovers'' MagnaGuard / MagnaGuard Starfighter package</ref>

He seems to be a raging religious bigot against Jedi. But what manner of being is this Grievous?

:Like all the initial ''Star Wars'' toys, the toy includes a tiny figure of the actual character, who can sit in the pilot's seat to operate the vehicle form.

**''Accessories:'' Missile, 2 lightsabers (green & blue)

:As the name suggests, this version of General Grievous transforms into [[Grievous Starfighter|his own starfighter]]. It comes with two lightsabers, one green and one blue, and a hand-held blaster with spring-loaded missile. The blaster doesn't fit in either of his hands very well, and it can't be stored anywhere while Grievous is in robot mode. While the arms and legs have excellent articulation, his waist is held in place due to the large amount of [[kibble]] connected at the waist locking into his back during transformation. His head can turn from side to side. Like all of the ''Crossovers'' figures, it does not come with a pilot mini-figure, but still has an opening cockpit with space for one, specifically the Grievous mini-figure from the previous mold of the character.

: Later runs of the toy uses different packaging that adds an apostrophe to the toy's name, making it "Grievous' Starfighter".
