[[Image:TopspinDaytona500trailer.jpg|thumb|left||250px|"Topspin distracting Shockwave"]]

Topspin, Leadfoot and Roadbuster, collectively known as [[Wrecker|the Wreckers]], by [[Charlotte Mearing]], had arrived with the second wave of Autobots aboard the Autobot ship, the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'', and were rarely let off of the NASA base because of their attitude. They would spend most of their time working on repairing their ship along with some human engineers, including [[Robert Epps]].

When [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] announced that the current occupation force of Autobots was to be exiled or the Earth would face the wrath of hundreds of Decepticons, the three prepared the ship for launch and accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the others aboard, sending the ship into the atmosphere - where it was then targeted and blown to smithereens by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], seemingly killing all the Autobots aboard. Undaunted by this, the Autobot's human allies nonetheless tried to launch an incursion into Decepticon-held [[Chicago]].

Fortunately for them, the Autobots were not actually aboard the ship, and had only feigned their deaths in order to keep the Decepticons from following up on their global threat. Topspin and the other Wreckers swung into action immediately, rescuing Epps, [[Sam Witwicky]] and a group of soldiers from a [[Orbital Assault Carrier|Decepticon fighters]] and executed the pilot before preparing to head into the battle zone.

While the Autobots were scouting a route to the building containing Sentinel's [[Space bridge]] pillars, [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and his pet [[Driller]] separated Optimus from his weapons trailer. Optimus ordered Topspin and the other Wreckers to create a distraction so that he could retrieve it, and in their armored racecar forms fired at Shockwave with their machineguns until being forced to retreat, leaving behind [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Brains]], who had hitched a ride with them. After Optimus had become snared in a construction site's cables, the Wreckers set out to free him. After doing so they rejoined the battle, battling against a long-limbed Decepticon. After the battle Topspin stood with the other survivors, accepting that Cybertron was gone forever and that Earth was their new home. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

* Leadfoot is the odd man out amongst the NASCAR trio in that his real-world counterpart is owned by Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, while [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] and [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]] are based on Hendrick Motorsports racers.
* Leadfoot appears to have a "beard" and a "beer gut," making him appear much like a stereotypical NASCAR fan.

They appeared both off the track as display cars, and on the track, participating in the ceremonial first lap.
* Contrary to the image above, the headlights on real-world NASCAR racers don't work. They're actually just [[decal]]s.
* Despite already sporting Chevrolet Impala [[kibble]] in robot mode, Leadfoot's concept art featured sponsor decals that were based on the 2008 season's [[Wikipedia:File:Reed_Sorenson_2008_Target_Dodge_Charger.jpg|Target-sponsored #41 Dodge Charger]] driven by [[Wikipedia:Reed Sorenson|Reed Sorenson]], the concept art even featured him with the backlights of the Dodge Avenger.<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>

*'''Leadfoot / [[Sergeant Detour]] & [[Steeljaw (DOTM)|Steeljaw]]''' (Human Alliance, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA30'''
**''Accessories:''
:[[Human Alliance]] Leadfoot transforms into the same NASCAR Chevy Impala as the Cyberverse toy, although this one does not have any robotic bits showing in car mode, and the [[Target]] logos are perfectly visible, especially the one on his gut (see picture to the right). He comes with [[Sergeant Detour]] and [[Steeljaw (DOTM)|Steeljaw]]. There is some gimmickry; Steeljaw can convert into a missile launcher, which can be pegged onto either Leadfoot's forearm or back via [[MechTech]] ports. He also includes a chain 'leash' which can attach to Steeljaw and be pegged into Leadfoot's hand. There are also hundreds of ways that Leadfoot's beer-belly and door chest can be arranged.
{{-}}

==Notes==
* Leadfoot is the odd man out amongst the NASCAR trio in that his real-world counterpart is owned by Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, while [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] and [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]] are based on Hendrick Motorsports racers.
* It sure is convenient that Leadfoot's Cyberverse toy conspicuously covers up those giant Target logos, isn't it? Much easier [[to sell toys]] at [[Walmart]] that way.
* Leadfoot appears to have a "beard" and a "beer gut," making him appear much like a stereotypical NASCAR fan.
* As part of the promotions for ''[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', the film prop versions of Leadfoot, Roadbuster, and Topspin made appearances at the [[2011]] Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on [[February 20]]th. They appeared both off the track as display cars, and on the track, participating in the ceremonial first lap.
* Contrary to the image above, the headlights on real-world NASCAR racers don't work. They're actually just [[decal]]s.
* Despite already sporting Chevrolet Impala [[kibble]] in robot mode, Leadfoot's concept art featured sponsor decals that were based on the 2008 season's [[Wikipedia:File:Reed_Sorenson_2008_Target_Dodge_Charger.jpg|Target-sponsored #41 Dodge Charger]] driven by [[Wikipedia:Reed Sorenson|Reed Sorenson]], the concept art even featured him with the backlights of the Dodge Avenger.<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>
* Early working names for him included '''Flash'''.<ref name="nizzi"/> In the movie's end credits, he's listed under two names, '''Leadfoot/Target''', the latter referring to his NASCAR vehicle mode's [[Target|primary sponsor]].

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Leadfoot''' (レッドフット ''Reddofutto'')

[[Image: Foundation1_wheeljack.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Wheeljack in the Dark of the Moon comics]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Wheeljack was one of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s followers. He was a crucial figure in the culmination of Sentinel Prime's plan to save the dying planet: While Sentinel's other pupils held off an attack by the heretic [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]], Wheeljack's technical skills went to work creating a device that, once linked to the AllSpark, warped time and space, teleporting a sun into Cybertronian space. The sun's energy revitalized the [[AllSpark]], bringing life and energy back to Cybertron, and Wheeljack calmly remarked that, wouldn't you know it, it seemed they'd only gone and saved the world. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Soon after, Wheeljack stood by Sentinel Prime's side when he addressed the collective populace of the planet on [[Unification Day]], announcing the new direction for the revitalized Cybertron. The world was to be governed by a [[Science Division]] led by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and a [[Defense Force]] under [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s command; naturally, Wheeljack elected to join the former.{{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

Years later, Wheeljack was with Sentinel Prime and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] at one of the division's archaeological digs when they came under attack from Megatron's forces, which he had rechristened "[[Decepticon]]s" with the intent of seizing control of the planet. Optimus—now Optimus ''Prime''—rallied those who opposed Megatron under him as the [[Autobot]]s, Wheeljack included. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

As the war worsened, Sentinel Prime presented the Autobots with a mysterious "torch" he had invented that would somehow end the war. An Autobot strike team under Optimus assault [[Simfur]] in order to activate the torch by bringing it into contact with the AllSpark, while Wheeljack stayed by Sentinel's side, awaiting its return and preparing to depart aboard the two great [[Ark (disambiguation)|Arks]] the Autobots had built. Elita-One soon arrived with the active torch, at which point Sentinel ordered a reluctant Wheeljack to take the first [[Ark (Movie)|Ark]] and collected the other Autobots from their base in [[Tyger Pax]], while Sentinel himself took the torch and went to pick up Optimus's team aboard his own [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]. Consequently, Sentinel's Ark and all aboard were apparently destroyed by the Decepticons upon arrival. Furious at the death of his mentor, Optimus Prime enacted a new plan: while he kept Megatron busy, Wheeljack took the rest of the Autobots and attacked Simfur again, overwhelming the weakened Decepticons there and capturing the AllSpark. The cube was removed from the machine Wheeljack had invented, which caused Cybertron's sun to disappear. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[Image:RisingStorm4WheeljackeandMiragebodiesdestroyed.jpg|right|thumb|250px|They will get better]]

Thousands of years later, Wheeljack joined Optimus Prime on Earth at some point after 2009, alongside [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]]. The pair joined [[NEST]], and were assigned to a unit stationed in [[Washington, D.C.]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3}} This put them closest to the action when a huge Decepticon battalion attacked [[Sam Witwicky]]'s school in [[Philadelphia]], and they arrived just in time to help [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] fight off the villains. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2}} Wheeljack generated a powerful [[force field]] to shield Sam and other human bystanders as they ran from the battle, {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3}} and the pair helped hold the line until Optimus Prime arrived with reinforcements. Observing that the Decepticons were attempting to flee, Prime ordered Wheeljack to extend his force field in order to keep them from escaping, but before the scientist could comply, the merciless [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] descended onto the battlefield and grievously damaged Wheeljack with a powerful blast. Luckily, Wheeljack remained just functional enough to complete his recalibration, trapping Shockwave inside his force field with a very unhappy Optimus Prime. After Prime defeated Shockwave, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] examined Wheeljack's broken body and reported that he could be repaired, though he probably wouldn't be "quite the same". {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4}}

:''Voice actor:'' [[George Coe]] (English), [[Shinpachi Tsuji]] (Japanese), [[Guillermo Coria]] (Latin American Spanish), [[Giorgio Lopez]] (Italian)
[[Image:DOTM trailer wheeljack.jpg|left|thumb|Wheeljack/Que in the Dark of the Moon film.]]
Que, disguised as a blue Mercedes-Benz E550, posed as the [[Iran]]ian defense minister’s vehicle to cross a checkpoint. Once there, he, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] and [[Mirage (Movie)|Dino]] investigated and destroyed an illegal nuclear facility. Later at NEST’s new base of operations in Washington, D.C., Que provided weapons-specialist Ironhide with a weapons upgrade, supplying him with two powerful rifles. When National Intelligence Director [[Charlotte Mearing]] arrived, he politely introduced himself and informed them about Optimus Prime’s upset mood. He stood in the background with his fellow Autobots and observed Optimus berate the government officials for keeping the wreckage of the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' a secret from the Autobots.

When the Autobots were ordered to be exiled from Earth by the government on [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime's]] demands, Que helped to prepare the Autobot ship, the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' for launch alongside his fellow Autobots. However, after launch, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacked the ''Xantium'' and destroyed the ship, presumably killing Que and the other Autobots on board.

[[Image:Dotm-que-face-cropped.jpg|right|thumb|Wheeljack/Que about to be executed]]

Secretly, the Autobots had suspected treachery, and hid inside one of their shuttle's booster rockets which had detached shortly before Starscream's attack. Que went alongside his comrades into the midst of the Decepticon-occupied [[Chicago]]. Before the Autobots went off to battle, Que provided [[Sam Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]], [[Robert Epps|Robert Epps]] and a team of soldiers with several new anti-Decepticon weapons that he had constructed which would, as he put it, “kick ass.” Later on, when several Autobots were overwhelmed and captured, he was taken hostage alongside Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Dino and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. At [[Dylan Gould]]'s prodding, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] decided to make trophies of the prisoners, starting with Que. Despite Que’s pleas for mercy, he was shot by a Decepticon protoform before being swiftly finished off by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. His death left Bumblebee distraught, mourning his lost friend, while Barricade added insult to injury laughing at the fallen Autobot. But Bumblebee soon avenged his fallen friend by killing Soundwave. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

Wheeljack arrived on [[Earth]] some time after [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and his team, apparently at the same time as [[Hoist (Movie)|Hoist]] and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. At that time, the Autobots were coming under attack from an army of Decepticon drones, and Wheeljack was able to concoct a virus that would send the drones back into sleep mode. [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] and [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]] were charged with transmitting the virus to an orbiting satellite, broadcasting it to all the drones simultaneously. Although they succeeded, Wheeljack was left with the unfortunate task of relaying to Optimus Prime that Hound had died in the process.

A little later, Wheeljack accompanied the Autobots on their mission to the [[Hoover Dam]], and was seen escaping the complex when the Decepticons attacked. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

Wheeljack aided his Autobot comrades from behind the scenes, arming them with newer, more potent weaponry almost as soon as he was done building them. He had NEST forces deliver one of these new weapons to Ironhide as the latter was battling the Decepticons in Detroit. The gun Wheeljack sent him enabled Ironhide to destroy Mixmaster's shields, leaving the Decepticon vulnerable.

Soundwave later infiltrated an old Sector Seven base that was evidently used as a workshop by Wheeljack to develop new MechTech weapons. Unfortunately, Soundwave managed to destroy the base and the MechTech with it, while what few weapons were already en route to Optimus Prime were intercepted by Starscream.

==Notes==
* Wheeljack's onscreen name "Que" is most likely a nod to the famous ''[[Wikipedia:James Bond|James Bond]]'' character [[wikipedia:Q (James Bond)| Q]], who similarily provided his allies with equipment and gadgets. Furthermore, Que's scene in the Chicago battle, where he provides the NEST soldiers with a variety of weapons while stating their various features and functions, is lifted almost wholesale from many ''Bond'' movies.

* His head design in ''Dark of the Moon'' is a homage to [[Albert Einstein]].

* An early working name for him was '''Steeljaw''', and his head was considered to be based on [[Wikipedia:Christopher Lloyd|Christopher Lloyd's]] [[Wikipedia:Emmett Brown|Doc Brown]] from the [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future trilogy|''Back to the Future'' movies]] rather than Einstein. He was also going to have a 'labcoat', formed from his vehicle-mode canvas roof. <ref name="wburt">[http://conceptartworld.com/?p=8388 Wesley Burt DOTM concepts.]</ref>
*Numerous adaptations of Dark of the Moon (such as the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|comic adaptation]] and [[Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel|junior novelization]]) illustrated that during the Autobot capture in Chicago, it was Dino/Mirage who was executed by Soundwave. However this was changed in the movie to Que/Wheeljack being killed instead while Dino/Mirage survived the battle.

* The Mercedes-Benz E550 prop car used for ''Dark of the Moon'' sported a German/European Union [[license plate]], "'''M IC3802'''", registered in the city of Munich, on the Chicago set.<ref name="chicago">[http://www.seibertron.com/live-action-films/gallery.php?id=133&size=0&start=50 Dark of the Moon Chicago set] at Seibertron.com.</ref> (The design of the plate is slightly inaccurate, as there should be a space between "IC" and "3802" if it were a real German plate. Also, a German car would have a license plate on the front as well.)

* Good luck trying to figure out his accent, by the way, as he oscillates between an impenetrably garbled half-Scottish, half-Irish muddle and English "Received Pronunciation" all the way through the film, at times in the same sentence. What we can tell you he's ''not'' speaking with, though, is a German accent, which a disturbing number of American fans seems to have concluded based simply on the fact he looks like Einstein.

* For a scientist, Wheeljack has a unusual amount of weapons, he has a Mech Tech weapon, a large spear, and twin pistols.

Optimus—now Optimus ''Prime''—rallied those who opposed Megatron under him as the [[Autobot]]s, Wheeljack included. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

As the war worsened, Sentinel Prime presented the Autobots with a mysterious "torch" he had invented that would somehow end the war. An Autobot strike team under Optimus assault [[Simfur]] in order to activate the torch by bringing it into contact with the AllSpark, while Wheeljack stayed by Sentinel's side, awaiting its return and preparing to depart aboard the two great [[Ark (disambiguation)|Arks]] the Autobots had built. Elita-One soon arrived with the active torch, at which point Sentinel ordered a reluctant Wheeljack to take the first [[Ark (Movie)|Ark]] and collected the other Autobots from their base in [[Tyger Pax]], while Sentinel himself took the torch and went to pick up Optimus's team aboard his own [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]. Consequently, Sentinel's Ark and all aboard were apparently destroyed by the Decepticons upon arrival. Furious at the death of his mentor, Optimus Prime enacted a new plan: while he kept Megatron busy, Wheeljack took the rest of the Autobots and attacked Simfur again, overwhelming the weakened Decepticons there and capturing the AllSpark. The cube was removed from the machine Wheeljack had invented, which caused Cybertron's sun to disappear. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Thousands of years later, Wheeljack joined Optimus Prime on Earth at some point after 2009, alongside [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]]. The pair joined [[NEST]], and were assigned to a unit stationed in [[Washington, D.C.]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3}} This put them closest to the action when a huge Decepticon battalion attacked [[Sam Witwicky]]'s school in [[Philadelphia]], and they arrived just in time to help [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] fight off the villains. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2}} Wheeljack generated a powerful [[force field]] to shield Sam and other human bystanders as they ran from the battle, {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3}} and the pair helped hold the line until Optimus Prime arrived with reinforcements. Observing that the Decepticons were attempting to flee, Prime ordered Wheeljack to extend his force field in order to keep them from escaping, but before the scientist could comply, the merciless [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] descended onto the battlefield and grievously damaged Wheeljack with a powerful blast. Luckily, Wheeljack remained just functional enough to complete his recalibration, trapping Shockwave inside his force field with a very unhappy Optimus Prime. After Prime defeated Shockwave, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] examined Wheeljack's broken body and reported that he could be repaired, though he probably wouldn't be "quite the same". {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4}}

Que, disguised as a blue Mercedes-Benz E550, posed as the [[Iran]]ian defense minister’s vehicle to cross a checkpoint. Once there, he, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] and [[Mirage (Movie)|Dino]] investigated and destroyed an illegal nuclear facility. Later at NEST’s new base of operations in Washington, D.C., Que provided weapons-specialist Ironhide with a weapons upgrade, supplying him with two powerful rifles. When National Intelligence Director [[Charlotte Mearing]] arrived, he politely introduced himself and informed them about Optimus Prime’s upset mood. He stood in the background with his fellow Autobots and observed Optimus berate the government officials for keeping the wreckage of the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' a secret from the Autobots.

When the Autobots were ordered to be exiled from Earth by the government on [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime's]] demands, Que helped to prepare the Autobot ship, the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' for launch alongside his fellow Autobots. However, after launch, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacked the ''Xantium'' and destroyed the ship, presumably killing Que and the other Autobots on board.

[[Image:Dotm-que-face-cropped.jpg|right|thumb|Good news, everyone! I'm about to be executed- wait a minute, that's not good news at all!]]

Secretly, the Autobots had suspected treachery, and hid inside one of their shuttle's booster rockets which had detached shortly before Starscream's attack. Que went alongside his comrades into the midst of the Decepticon-occupied [[Chicago]]. Before the Autobots went off to battle, Que provided [[Sam Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]], [[Robert Epps|Robert Epps]] and a team of soldiers with several new anti-Decepticon weapons that he had constructed which would, as he put it, “kick ass.” Later on, when several Autobots were overwhelmed and captured, he was taken hostage alongside Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Dino and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. At [[Dylan Gould]]'s prodding, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] decided to make trophies of the prisoners, starting with Que. Despite Que’s pleas for mercy, he was shot by a Decepticon protoform before being swiftly finished off by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. His death left Bumblebee distraught, mourning his lost friend, while Barricade added insult to injury laughing at the fallen Autobot. But Bumblebee soon avenged his fallen friend by killing Soundwave. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)}}

Wheeljack arrived on [[Earth]] some time after [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and his team, apparently at the same time as [[Hoist (Movie)|Hoist]] and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. At that time, the Autobots were coming under attack from an army of Decepticon drones, and Wheeljack was able to concoct a virus that would send the drones back into sleep mode. [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] and [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]] were charged with transmitting the virus to an orbiting satellite, broadcasting it to all the drones simultaneously. Although they succeeded, Wheeljack was left with the unfortunate task of relaying to Optimus Prime that Hound had died in the process.

A little later, Wheeljack accompanied the Autobots on their mission to the [[Hoover Dam]], and was seen escaping the complex when the Decepticons attacked. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

Wheeljack aided his Autobot comrades from behind the scenes, arming them with newer, more potent weaponry almost as soon as he was done building them. He had NEST forces deliver one of these new weapons to Ironhide as the latter was battling the Decepticons in Detroit. The gun Wheeljack sent him enabled Ironhide to destroy Mixmaster's shields, leaving the Decepticon vulnerable.

Soundwave later infiltrated an old Sector Seven base that was evidently used as a workshop by Wheeljack to develop new MechTech weapons. Unfortunately, Soundwave managed to destroy the base and the MechTech with it, while what few weapons were already en route to Optimus Prime were intercepted by Starscream.

==Notes==
* Wheeljack's onscreen name "Que" is most likely a nod to the famous ''[[Wikipedia:James Bond|James Bond]]'' character [[wikipedia:Q (James Bond)| Q]], who similarily provided his allies with equipment and gadgets.

* His head design in ''Dark of the Moon'' is a homage to [[Albert Einstein]].

* An early working name for him was '''Steeljaw''', and his head was considered to be based on [[Wikipedia:Christopher Lloyd|Christopher Lloyd's]] [[Wikipedia:Emmett Brown|Doc Brown]] from the [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future trilogy|''Back to the Future'' movies]] rather than Einstein. He was also going to have a 'labcoat', formed from his vehicle-mode canvas roof. <ref name="wburt">[http://conceptartworld.com/?p=8388 Wesley Burt DOTM concepts.]</ref>
*Numerous adaptations of Dark of the Moon (such as the [[Dark of the Moon (comic series)|comic adaptation]] and [[Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel|junior novelization]]) illustrated that during the Autobot capture in Chicago, it was Dino/Mirage who was executed by Soundwave. However this was changed in the movie to Que/Wheeljack being killed instead while Dino/Mirage survived the battle.

* The Mercedes-Benz E550 prop car used for ''Dark of the Moon'' sported a German/European Union [[license plate]], "'''M IC3802'''", registered in the city of Munich, on the Chicago set.<ref name="chicago">[http://www.seibertron.com/live-action-films/gallery.php?id=133&size=0&start=50 Dark of the Moon Chicago set] at Seibertron.com.</ref> (The design of the plate is slightly inaccurate, as there should be a space between "IC" and "3802" if it were a real German plate. Also, a German car would have a license plate on the front as well.)

* Good luck trying to figure out his accent, by the way, as he oscillates between an impenetrably garbled half-Scottish, half-Irish muddle and English "Received Pronunciation" all the way through the film, at times in the same sentence. What we can tell you he's ''not'' speaking with, though, is a German accent, which a disturbing number of American fans seems to have concluded based simply on the fact he looks like Einstein.
