A question about Wheelie in ROTF

Motto: "I will always be there for other people, because I know what it's like to have nobody there for me."
Weapon: Electron-Pulse Gun
I know the movie came out a while ago, but I just barely realized this as I was watching it again. When Alice attacks Sam, Mikaela, and Leo at the college they take Wheelie, who is in his metal box, and drive away with him in the Saturn she hot wires. Then they're captured by Grindor, then the warehouse scene follows, forest battle, fallens arrival, etc. We don't see Wheelie again until they've met up with Simmons and Mikaela gets him out of Bumblebee. So how did Wheelie go from the Saturn (which Starscream cut in half) to Bumblebee? :-?

This was never explained by Bay or Orci/Kurtzman [but then, I don't think anyone asked them about it], and can be considered an error in the movie.

Either that, or you can pretend that an alert and quick-thinking Mikaela remembered to retrieve Wheelie from the trunk before escaping with the Autobots when they came to the rescue.

I never even realized this...but I think there is a scene of Mikaela and Leo running towards Bee, so you can check for the suitcase there. I don't think she's running with it, so definetly an error. Unless Bubmblebee somehow detected him and bothered to retriever him amongst the ruckus.

I have wondered about it but didn't think it was such a big deal. Maybe Mikaela told Bee to go back and retrieved the box.

I was wondering the same thing but during the end of the movie. After they leave the last temple and see the C-130 planes in the air you never see or hear of Wheelie again until DOTM?

I always figured Wheelie, post Petra, either a) hid inside a larger autobot ala Frenzy inside Barricade or b) stayed behind where it's safe. The latter most likely since he was a bit of a coward. Now how he got from the stolen car to Bumblebee's trunk, ummm...hmmmm...a wizard did it? :???:

Motto: "If you don't believe me, just ask me.....I'll tell you all about it."
I'd say..... Since Bee and Prime both left at the same time...but Prime was fighting alone for the longest time, I'm gonna go with....

"Optimus Prime" - Bumblebee...stay behind me

"Bumblebee" - beeb, bob, beeb booop.

"Mikaela" - Oh shoot Bumblebee....we forgot Wheelie! we have to go back for him!

"Bumblebee" - Beep, boop, bip honk!

"Mikaela" - Oh come on! whats the worst that can happen! it will only take like 2 minutes!
New pics added as I find time.

He only beeps and boops in TF Prime, but yeah, something like that plays in my imagination...
