I Also Find Wheelie Better in the third film. All because he lives with his Pal Brains & Watch Star Trek Reruns.
He and Brains "apparantly" died an honorable death, and even if they didn't they sure as hell did more then I expected of them.
I actually liked Wheelie and Brains in the third film too. They toned him down a bit and made him useful. Should've been named a different character though. Can't think of any really smart-ass Autobot replacements though. Now if they had used one of the Decepticon headmaster/targetmaster names from Rebirth, that would've made more sense. But that would've required a better knowledge of the characters.
foul mouth wheelie is awesome. No offence to people who love G1, that Wheelie was awkward and annoying....... :/
I think you mean, 'in Transformers'. That said, Wheelie wasn't the most terrible thing about the movies. I could have done without the leg-humping scene in the second one and I'd like to meet whoever decided they needed to spend money on that and punch them. I like his sass in ROTF, and it was cool to see the little guys get to do something useful.
I love both Wheelie and Brains. I could do without the leg humping though. I don't understand why any rational writer would think that was a good idea.
