Mikaela Banes
- 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.
Fiction
Transformers (2007 film)
- Actor: Megan Fox
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 is also afraid of being thought "shallow," to which Sam awkwardly replies that he thinks that there is "more than meets the eye...with...you."
When Sector Seven forcibly detain Mikaela and Sam's family, Agent Simmons reveals that she has a police record and threatened her father's upcoming parole hearing. After the Autobots rescue the pair, she confides to Sam that she has a record because she refused to betray her father. Sector Seven soon recapture both teenagers (along with Bumblebee) and are brought to Hoover Dam. Sam negotiates with Simmons and has her criminal record expunged as part of his reward for helping Sector Seven with the information he has about the Transformers.
During the Decepticon attack at Mission City, Mikaela strapped the injured Bumblebee to an abandoned towtruck. Sam told her to get Bumblebee (and herself) away from the battle, but Mikaela, feeling guilty, decided go back. She drove the tow-truck backwards through the battle while Bumblebee shot at Brawl, deactivating the Decepticon.
