==Synopsis==

{{note|This story's events follow directly after [[Theft of the Golden Disk]].}}

[[Unit 1]] and [[Unit 2]] speed to intercept Megatron, who is in the process of stealing the [[Golden Disk]]. Unit 1 is incapacitated. After a disagreement with one of his [[Dinobot (BW)|troops]] about honor, Megatron and his forces retreat with their prize.

In the shadows of [[Cybertropolis]], [[Divebomb (G1)|a mysterious figure]] orders Buzzsaw and Laserbeak to assist Megatron secretly in his escape. Meanwhile, Megatron's troops have succeeded in heisting a ship, the ''[[Darksyde]]''. This forces Unit 2 to commandeer his own, the ''[[Chromia 10]]'', although her [[Airazor (BW)| pilot]] insists on doing the flying.

Inside the Maximal Defense Command Center, three Maximals meet to discuss the situation. After a briefing, they decide to send the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' after Megatron. On a space station, [[Rattrap|one of the ''Axalon'''s crew]] complains to [[Cheetor (BW)|another]] about delays. [[Rhinox (BW)|Yet another]] scolds them. Optimus Primal sees to [[Rampage (BW)|his cargo]].

After the ''Axalon'' departs, she receives her mission to stop Megatron. Just then, Laserbeak and Buzzsaw attack in their ship. The ''Chromia 10'' arrives to help, but both of these ships are destroyed. Unit 2 and the pilot, however, are brought aboard the ''Axalon'' by [[remote spark core transfer]].

[[Tarantulas|A crew member]] of the ''Darksyde'' secretly transmits data from the Golden Disk to an [[Tripredacus Council|unseen recipient]]. As the ''Axalon'' closes in, Megatron again flogs his honor-bound subordinate before greeting the Maximals with an array of ammunition. The ''Darksyde'' escapes into a [[transwarp]] portal, followed closely by the ''Axalon''. ''[[Beast Wars, Part 1|To be continued!]]''

Much later, after [[Beast Machines|Megatron's techo-superiority reign]], Razorclaw vows that the Predacons will defeat the Maximals.

==Items of note==
*Rattrap calls Rhinox a "rhinoceros". In "[[Beast Wars (Part 1)]]", he calls Rhinox a "bulldozer."

*On the space station, Rhinox and a group of armed guards can be seen loading Protofom X's stasis pod onto the ''Axalon''.

*One of the Maximals in the Defense Command Center has the head of [[Blurr (Armada)|Armada Blurr]].
*[[Ram Horn]] can be seen in the reflection on Tarantulas's head.
*Megatron is a repaint of Cybertron Red Alert, but here it is revealed that that body is actually a suit of armor, accounting for why the BotCon toy looks different from the pre-beast Megatron seen in "Beast Wars (Part 1)".
*The mass-retail release featured several pages of bonus material: some sketches by Marcelo Matere, and profiles for Optimus, Megatron, Cheetor, and the [[Maximal Command Security Force]].

*Razorclaw's appearance is based on the [[Leobreaker]] toy with a new head. He also sports a [[Faction symbols|new Predacon symbol]]. The Transformers standing behind Razorclaw seem to be based on [[Transmetal 2]] Cheetor, [[Longhorn (BM)|Longhorn]], and [[backstop]], though artist Dan Khanna says these resemblances were not intentional. This scene was said by Pete Sinclair to take place 50-100 years after ''Beast Machines''. He also stated that the original Rampage, Tantrum, and Headstrong died at the end of the Great War, and the guys standing behind Razorclaw are their descendants.

Wheelie (G1)

2008-03-05T16:24:12Z

75.90.132.158: /* Generation 1 */

{{featured}}

:''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's structured in rhyme, and he hangs out with [[Daniel Witwicky|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.

{{quote|Wheelie say find friends today!|Wheelie loves his rhymes, and puts them into all his lines|''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''}}

:''Hungarian name'': is basically the same.
:''In French-Canada our little fellow chooses to be called:'' '''Tourbillo'''
:''The English/Malay dub that's oh-so-silly often calls this little bot:'' '''Willy'''
:''The Italians thought that they could do better, so in their dubbed movie they called him:'' '''Saetta'''
:''For non-movie media, they tried something cuter. For everything else, they named him:'' '''Scooter'''

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

On far off [[Quintessa]] his ship it did crash. Wheelie survived, though his ship turned to ash. Though friendless and alone, Wheelie stayed alive. For Wheelie is strong and the strong must survive!

With the help of Hot Rod, Kup and the rest, Wheelie returned to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], to that he can attest. {{Storylink|Transformers: The Movie}} In 2006, for all that its worth, he was charged with bringing [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s [[transformation cog]] to [[Earth]]. To accomplish the task Wheelie was paired with fast-talking [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]]. Galvatron soon stranded them on Io, that villainous cur! Attacked by [[lipole]]s, things began to look grim. But then [[Marissa Faireborn]] and [[Sky Lynx]] came to rescue them! With the cog at last delivered, Metroplex came alive. He thrashed [[Trypticon]] and that Decepticon took a dive! {{Storylink|Five Faces of Darkness}}

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

[[Image:Wheelie-hm.jpg|left|thumb|In Japanese what were Wheelie's actual dialoggies? Can you believe that he says "It's too late for apologies!"]]

By 2010, Wheelie was too petulant to rhyme. He blamed everything on [[Chromedome]], like, ''all'' of the time. Although a jerk to the core, Wheelie was not all alone. He hung out with [[Daniel Witwicky|Daniel]] and the two were quite danger-prone.

At one point, at a party he had too much to drink. He got drunk and passed out, that adorable rat-fink.

===''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]] and [[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]]. 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|If the part's in italics, don't look away, it's merely to show, it's from the UK.}}

''None too far did Wheelie roam - still, he called [[Quintessa|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.''

===Dreamwave Comics continuity===

[[Image:Wheeliedw.jpg|left|thumb|Wheelie's gone feral! Let's hope he's sterile.]]

Although [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] promised peace to one and all, Wheelie was smart and for that ruse he did not fall. He joined a team along with [[Gnaw]], his [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]] pet. Together they strived to unveil Shockwave's evil threat.

[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] joined their side, but thought Gnaw was attacking and beat his hide. Wheelie thought him a brute, and in retaliation, he bit the commander's boot.

Believe it or not, just like in Japan, Wheelie did not rhyme once, much to the joys of many a fan. {{Storylink|Passive Aggression}}

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

With [[Doctor Fujiyama the Famous Scientist|Dr. Fujiyama]] in tow, the Autobots were quite screwed. It seems a legion of [[Nightbird]]s were in a terrible mood! With Wheelie injured thanks to a shot in the back, scar-faced Daniel realized the villains would cut them no slack. Prepared to die to stop the evil hordes, Wheelie told Daniel these few final words: "Through all our lives, I've been your friend. But now it's time for this to end."

As Wheelie spoke these words of doom, Daniel made them go Kaboom! {{Storylink|Departure}}

====''Universe'' comics====

In an alternate reality Wheelie was not quite yet gone. He fought within [[Unicron]] to release all the [[energon]]! Trapped in a cage, Wheelie was doomed to meet [[Primus|his maker]]. However, he was saved by [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] and [[Trailbreaker]]!

===''Teletraan Go! Go!'' comics===
[[Image:Wheelie15.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Aw, little Wheelie's just curious! (Teletraan 10 will be furious.)]][[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!

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

[[Image:G1Wheelie_toy.jpg|thumb| You can transform him in a rap! Yeah, he kinda looks like a crap.|left]]

: 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 [[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" type of 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!

{{-}}

==Trivia==
*In the first commercial where Wheelie appears, 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrappy-Doo Scrappy-Doo]! ([http://youtube.com/watch?v=N5NGGGaP6IA YouTube video link])
*[[Chris Ryall]] said Wheelie would get a spotlight on his [http://ryalltime.blogspot.com/2008/02/who-said-music-industry-is-dead.html blog]. His hide the fans now wish to flog.
