Wheelie (SG)

This page is for the fearsome barbarian trike. / See Wheelie (G1) for the cheerful survivalist tyke!
For the rest of the Wheelie population / Go check out Wheelie (disambiguation).
Wheelie is an Autobot, but probably an ass / Seeing as he comes from the world of Shattered Glass.
Based on Crumplezone an'
So he's built like Conan.

The barbarian-lord Wheelie couldn't be worse
He's cunning, he's massive, and he speaks in verse.<ref>Profile for Shattered Glass Sky Lynx from Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club #26</ref>

Fiction

[edit]

Fun Publications Shattered Glass continuity

[edit]

When Ultra Magnus staged a coup / Wheelie joined the traitor's crew,
Beat Sky Lynx in embarrassing fashion and / left him fearing anything assonant. Sky Lynx's profile in Club magazine #26

Notes

[edit]
There, on a souvenir chase card / Turning into a three-wheeled racecar,
Wheelie's design was finally shown / To be a retool of Dark Crumplezone.<ref>On tumblr, David Willis reviews the History of Wheelie for a user.</ref>
Trent Troop had mocked-up the idea / As a toy concept earlier that year.<ref name=mangin>Comment on the Wheelie card from Will Mangin's DeviantArt.</ref>
  • The hypothetical Wheelie figure / Would have had a purple redeco of Jigu.
"The idea was that if Wheelie fights Sharkticons / then SG Wheelie would fight with a Sharktigun."<ref name=mangin />
We think this concept might also draw / From Dreamwave Wheelie's good buddy Gnaw.
BotCon themes were pretty niche / Hence the tongue-in-cheek pastiche.<ref>The BotCon account gives a bit o' context for the joke on Twitter.</ref>
