At age twelve, Sam's father presents him with the heirlooms of his ancestor Archibald Amundsen Witwicky. Sam is not impressed and makes googly eyes with the arctic explorer's glasses.
Years later, Sam discovers the concept of riding around in cars to cruise for chicks. He looks to his box of priceless historical artifacts, and his thoughts turn to eBay...

- Actor: Shia LaBeouf
He bought a car. It turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew? Then the Decepticons found him, via the aforementioned eBay auctions. Also, his pheromone levels suggest that he wants to mate with Mikaela Banes.
Trivia
- Sam was not given the nickname "Spike", nor his father the nickname "Sparkplug" (though his wife does refer to him as "Spark"), because unlike their G1 counterparts the movie characters are not oil rig workers or mechanics. Earlier drafts of the script did have Sam earning the nickname "Spike" another way, but this was dropped before the script was finalized. [1]
- He's not getting a Porsche. Srsly.
- Sam's eBay username 'ladiesman217' is a reference to movie director Michael Bay's birthday, (February 2nd.) If 217 had the same meaning for Sam, that would make his date of birth February 2nd, 1990.
