| The name or term "Wedge" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Wedge (disambiguation). |
- Wedge the Construction-Bot is an Autobot from Rescue Bots Academy portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Wedge is pretty sure he's the best of the new Rescue Bot recruits and will jump at the chance to prove it. This has resulted in something of a rivalry stewing between him and Hot Shot, and if there's any criticism to be made of his fellow recruits, Wedge will be the one to make it, though he'll usually regret it soon after.
