- Japanese name: Build Boy
"Boy genius" Wedge is leader of the Build Team and chief architect and designer of Earth's subterranean Space Bridge. He and his team have never once missed a deadline, and are so devoted to their jobs maintaining and expanding the tunnels that they may go prolonged periods of time underground, totally unseen by either Autobots or Decepticons.
Though the other team members hold him in very high regard and obey his orders without question, Wedge's expertise is limited almost entirely to construction. When dealing with other Autobots he has an arrogant and disrespectful air that even offends Side Burn. In combat he is very brave, which isn't all that great since he is also weak, clumsy, and inexperienced. His brattish personality often compels him to charge into a fight where he is hopelessly outmatched, placing him and his teammates at great risk. Then again, given Wedge's wild destructive style and the raw power available when united as Landfill, his enemies are at great risk too.
Fiction
Robots in Disguise
Animated continuity
- Voice actor: Michael Reisz (US), Yukiko Tamaki (Japan)
Toys
Robots in Disguise
- Wedge (Deluxe, 2000/2001)
- Japanese ID number: C-018
- Wedge transformers into a small orange bulldozer with slightly 'super-deformed' proportions. He is also one of the smallest Deluxe-class toys ever made. Wedge can move his shovel up and down in this mode. In robot mode, he is armed with a double-barrel laser cannon. He forms the upper torso and chest of Landfill.
- He was initially released as part of the Takara Car Robots line. The Hasbro Robots in Disguise version adds several small paint applications to him for detail.
- This mold was also used to make Universe Bonecrusher.
- Build King (Multi-pack, 2000)
- Japanese ID number: C-022
- In Japan, the entire Build Team set of Wedge, Heavy Load, Hightower and Grimlock was made available. The toys included were identical to the individual Takara releases.
- Landfill (Multi-pack, 2003)
- A mainly-yellow redeco of the entire Build Team was released as a Wal-Mart exclusive in November of 2003, as a multi-pack released on "Black Friday", the day after Thankgiving, the most hellishly-overcrowded shopping day of the year. The set cost considerably less than four individual deluxes.
