Wheelie is the name of fictional characters in the Transformers series.
The first "Wheelie" consists of a young Autobot who turns into a car. He has a distinctive style of speech, in which he rhymes his sentences while speaking in a high pitched voice. Wheelie is a young Autobot whose function is listed as "survivalist". He despises the Quintessons and their Sharkticon minions, but only fights when he has no alternative.
Wheelie was chosen as the "Annoying character of the day" column by IGN, and was voted one of the top robot characters that does not look like his toy by Topless Robots. He was also picked as the 9th worst Transformer by X-Entertainment.
Wheelie first appeared in the 1986 film The Transformers: The Movie.
Wheelie's existence was acknowledged only by the UK Transformers Marvel Comics community, where adventures were inserted in-between the stories sourced in the US. He aids Wreck-Gar in escaping from the Quintessons, whose homeworld was dying due to a rift in space-time. The two then transmit the Quintessons' plan for colonization throughout the galaxy, making the Quintessons' targets aware of their plans. Wheelie retains his distinctive style of speech in his comic appearance.
Wheelie was featured in the "Wreckers" comic series produced by 3H Enterprises for Botcon, where he joined Arcee and Daniel Witwicky in battling an army of drones based on the Nightbird robot (featured in the G1 episode "Enter the Nightbird"). He was badly wounded during the battle, and despite the arrival of the Targetmasters, only Arcee and Professor Fujiyama, who they were protecting, survived. Surrounded by the enemy, Daniel set off a bomb, destroying the Nightbirds but killing himself and Wheelie in the process.
Wheelie is the central character in Spotlight: Wheelie where, stranded on an alien planet, he confronts the Decepticons that make up Reflector: Spectro, Spyglass and Viewfinder. On meeting one of the planet's natives and learning their language, he picks up his distinctive rhyming manner of speech.
Wheelie appears in the 1986 story and coloring book The Lost Treasure of Cybertron by Marvel Books.
Wheelie is an Autobot Soldier, who does not question his officer's orders...
The officer and Wheelie were fetched by Hot Shot after Wheeljack became trapped under rubble in the middle of a raging inferno. As the three of them stood while looking at the flames, Wheelie told Hot Shot it was hopeless, and told him to forget about his friend. When Hot Shot tried to charge in anyway, Wheelie physically restrained him until Hot Shot managed to throw Wheelie aside. The officer then punched Hot Shot to the ground, and stood with Wheelie while they looked at the flames for a while longer.
