Revision as of 22:12, 7 October 2022
| 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.
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.[1]
Fiction
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
But otherwise he's never starred.
- Sky Lynx's profile was Wheelie's one mention
Prior to the 2014 convention.
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.[2]
Trent Troop had mocked-up the idea
As a toy concept earlier that year.[3] - The hypothetical Wheelie figure
Would have included a purple Jigu.
"The idea was that if Wheelie fights Sharkticons
then SG Wheelie would fight with a Sharktigun."[3]
We think this concept might also draw
From Dreamwave Wheelie's good buddy Gnaw. - The Shattered Glass Machine Wars tag
Referenced a fandom gag.
BotCon themes were pretty niche
Hence the tongue-in-cheek pastiche.[4]
