Wheelie (SG)

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.

Based on Crumplezone an'
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.

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.

Notes

Oh, that Wheelie's such a card
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.
  Trent Troop had mocked-up the idea / As a toy concept earlier that year.
• 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."
  We think this concept might also draw / From Dreamwave Wheelie's good friend Gnaw.
• The Shattered Glass Machine Wars tag / Referenced a fandom gag.
  BotCon themes were pretty niche / Hence the tongue-in-cheek pastiche.
