:''Wheelie is an [[Autobot]], you see, in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Wheelieg1.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"You give me sass, I kick your ass."]]

'''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 ends in like sounds. It's just his deal, like [[Warpath]]'s "Bam! Zounds!"

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

Friend fine, look behind

''French-Canadian name:'' '''Tourbillo'''

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Frank Welker]] (US), [[Kazue Komiya]] (Japan)

His spaceship, it crashed and turned into ash. But Wheelie not scared; he climbed out of there. The planet [[Quintessa]] he's on, but now his friends are all gone. He stays alive. The fierce survive.

Wheelie journeyed from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to [[Earth]], protecting a cog for all he is worth. [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] destroyed his ship, sent him and [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] flying through space, but Wheelie not scared, shot a [[Sweep]] in the face! Stranded on Io, rescued by [[Marissa Faireborn|human chick]], [[lipole|bomb-bats]] destroy her ship, [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx'll]] do the trick! Transformation cog delivered, [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] is alive, 'Plex fights a dinosaur, [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] takes a dive!

====''Headmasters'' (Japan-only)====
'''Voice actor:''' [[Kazue Komiya]] (Japan)

Wheelie was too busy being a petulant teenager to rhyme. He blames everything on [[Chromedome]].

At one point, he got drunk at a party while [[Hardhead]] sang karaokee and Chromedome danced with [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]].

===''Headmasters'' manga===

[[Image:DanielWheelie.jpg|thumb|Wheelie knows of many joys, best of all is supple young boys!]]

Shortly after the defeat of [[Scorponok (G1)|Mega Zarak]], [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundblaster]] showed up and began to attack! Wheelie, unprepared, took a kick right to the face. Soundblaster got all up in his grill, saying "Bitch! Know your place!" When [[Slugfest (G1)|Slugfest]] and [[Overkill (G1)|Overkill]], took hostage [[Carly]] and [[Spike Witwicky|Spike]], [[Daniel Witwicky|Daniel]] went berserk and started to strike! Sending the Cassette dinosaurs running back home, Soundblaster was left open to an attack from [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]. As the Autobots left Earth, Wheelie and Daniel said "Goodbye". They huggled and they snuggled and the reader just screamed "WHY!?!"

===Marvel Comics continuity===
''(Note: Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.)''

''None too far did Wheelie roam - still, he called [[Quintessa]] his home. For Rodimus Prime he was a spy; he'd report on what the locals try. Wreck-Gar's rescue was his claim to fame, then helped the Junkions spoil the Quints' good name.''

[[Image:Wheeliedw.jpg|left|thumb|Wheelie is feral! Let's hope he's sterile.]]
===Dreamwave Comics continuity===
[[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] promised peace to all, but for that ruse Wheelie won't fall. He joined a team, he had a [[Gnaw (G1)|pet]]; they'll unveil Shockwave's evil threat.

[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Prime]] joins their side, but he's a brute, so tiny Wheelie bites his boot.

Many fans cried for the status quo, but Dreamwave decided 'twould not be so: When introduced this time, Wheelie did nae speak in rhyme!

===''Universe: The Wreckers'' comics===
[[Image:Wheeliewreckers.jpg|right|150px|thumb|For only Daniel [[Arcee (G1)|she]] cried, but Wheelie also died!]]

Many [[Nightbird]]s they fight; they attack left and right! [[Doctor Fujiyama the Famous Scientist|Fujiyama]] in tow, so the Autobots must go! But [[Daniel Witwicky|Daniel]] and he have no room to flee. Wheelie is harmed, a blast in the back! Daniel's bombs are now armed; kamikaze attack. "Through all our lives, I've been your friend. But now it's time for this to end."

====''Universe'' comics====
Is it just me or alternate Wheelie? Fight inside [[Unicron]] and release [[energon]]! Trapped in a cage until the end of the age? Now bars are released, thanks to [[Trailbreaker|truck]] and a [[Silverbolt (BW) (Fuzor)|beast]]. Now Wheelie is free to fight and to flee!

===''Teletraan Go! Go!'' mini-comics===
[[Teletraan 15]]'s panties are so frilly and white. But when Wheelie peeked, [[Teletraan 10|10]] took this as a slight! [[Kup]] also came to give Wheelie a scolding, but then hugged 15, whose spine now needs remolding!

===Generation 1===
*'''Wheelie''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-80'''

: Wheelie's toy transforms along Cybertronic vehicular norms. The fans' fancy he tickles, as the only new mold of the third-year [[Mini Vehicles]].

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed 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 "bookbox" set, with [[Targetmaster]] [[Kup]] and [[Recoil]], you bet! The reissue's different in an unexpected way; where the old face was orange, the new one is gray!

==Trivia==
*In the first commercial where Wheelie did appear, his voice didn't sound anywhere near! Though the actor was the same, much deeper Wheelie's voice came. In fact - and I'm sure you'll all agree - he sounded exactly like Johan's friend [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_and_Peewit Pee Wee]!

Tracks (G1)

2006-12-03T12:51:42Z

24.235.161.173:

:''Tracks is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

[[Image:tracksg1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Hi, I'm fabulous.]]

'''Tracks''' is a little bit of a narcissist, according to his Autobot buddies, and it's hard for him to stay lighthearted and gay under such criticism. He attributes it to jealousy: few Autobots are so well-endowed with a sleek, muscular, and tastefully decorated sports car mode as his.

The truth is, Tracks' armament is considerable. He is able to launch two flaming incendiary missiles from long and durable launcher shafts. These projectiles are heat-seeking, tracing the warmth of unsuspecting Decepticon bodies and striking hard. He is further armed with a black-beam gun, which shoots forth a beam of light-negating radiation, embracing his enemies in darkness, unaware of the Autobot until he strikes from behind, and leaves them moaning on the cold ground!

Tracks can also fly like a butterfly by deploying his secret, hidden wings from their protective closet.

He should be a dangerous opponent, but his concern with preserving his stylish appearance and poor ability to work with fellow Autobots hampers him. Often he simply cruises the metro area alone all night, looking for Decepticons worthy of his attentions.

Tracks' vehicle mode is a blue Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===

===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Michael McConnohie]] (USA), [[Shô Hayami]] (Japan)
[[Image:trackscruc2.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Radio killed the video star.]]

In "[[The Secret of Omega Supreme]]", when [[San Francisco]] was threatened by an [[Asteroid bird alien|alien bird creature]], Tracks risked his life in battle to defend the city.

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Tracks''' (Autobot, 1985)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''44'''

: The European version of Tracks by Milton Bradley was initially available in red, based on the original Diaclone color scheme. Due to poor sales, Hasbro decided to re-release Tracks in Europe, this time in his blue US colors. Because of this, the red MB version ended up being rather rare.

: This mold was used to make [[Road Rage]], based on the red European version.

*'''Tracks with Basher''' (Action Master, 1991)
: This release was a European exclusive.

===Alternators===
*'''Autobot Tracks'''
: The Binaltech release of this toy was released in both yellow and blue.

===Merchandise===

==Trivia==
*It is frequently joked amongst Transformers fans that Tracks is a homosexual, although the character has not actually demonstrated any romantic interest in other male characters.

* Voice actor [[Michael McConnohie]] claims Tracks is not gay. He chose the voice of Thurston Howell (played by Jim Backus) from ''Gilligan's Island'' as the basis for the snooty voice and mannerisms. McConnohie refers to Tracks' manner of dialect as a "Harvard Lockjaw".

* In parts of Europe, Tracks was released in the Diaclone toy's red deco. It is possible Hasbro has originally planned for tracks to be released in Diaclone colors, as Tracks is red complete with the Diaclone hood stickers ("CS" instead of the Autobot sigil) on the 1985 back-of-the-box mural.
