Revision as of 01:28, 24 October 2007
- Mikaela is a human in the Movie continuity family.
Mikaela Banes is a high school student. A beauty with brains, a penchant for fixing cars, and looks strong enough to make Sam Witwicky offer to "ride" her home in his new car.
She does not seem to mind making out on top of an alien car while other alien cars watch. Kinky.
She is not Carly.
She's kinda like Raoul though.

Transformers (2007 film)
- Actor: Megan Fox (English) Kanako Toujô (Japanese-language dub voice)
Mikaela learned how to fix cars from her father, a long-time car thief. When he couldn't find a babysitter, he'd bring young Mikaela along, and she learned his trade. She hides her automotive knowledge from her boyfriends, for fear that they will be insecure around a girl who knows more about cars than they do.
She went to school with Sam Witwicky since first grade, but had failed to even notice him during that entire time. After a spat with her boyfriend Trent, she dumped him, and Sam gave her a ride hom in his new car. When the car suffered engine trouble, she took a look at the engine, and was very impressed with the layout. Sam was more impressed with her. After riding her home driving her home, Mikaela asked Sam if he thought she was "shallow," to which Sam awkwardly replies that he thinks that there is "more than meets the eye...with...you."
The next day, Mikaela was having lucnh with her friends when Sam passed by on his mother's bike, saying that his car was following him. Concerned, she followed him on her moped, but Sam knocked her off. Angry, she demanded to know what his problem was...at which point a monster cop car came charging out of the bridge Sam had just been in.

When inviting them to get in, Mikaela was unsure, but then Sam asked her a simple question: "Fifty years from now, when you're looking back at your life, don't you wanna say you had the guts to get into the car?"

When Sector Seven forcibly detain Mikaela and Sam's family, Agent Simmons revealed that she has a police record and threatened her father's upcoming parole hearing. This strategy nearly made Mikaela cry...until Optimus Prime ripped the roof of the SUV they were in off, and made Agent Simmons his bitch. After the Autobots rescue the pair, she confides to Sam that she has a record because she refused to turn her father over to the authorities. Sector Seven soon recapture both teenagers (along with Bumblebee) and are brought to Hoover Dam.
