Wheelie is the Inaugural IGN's "Most Annoying Character"

I agree. If not him, then Bumblebee.

Darn shame, the tech spec for wheelie painted him as a toughened survivalist. It's the movie writers who turned him into a rhyming child. After that the personality stuck.

I LOVE WHEELIE. IS IT JUST BECAUSE THE RYMING? SHESH

I agree with Scaleface. In fact, that describes so much about TF's. The tech specs introduced amazing characters, then writers went and screwed them up. We really have not been blessed with good writers in any of our media.

Of couse Wheelie deserves such an honour, maybe they'll do Kicker next or one of the other kids from the Unicron Trilogy

AHAAHAHAHAA!!! This is just too funny!

Poor Wheelie

Armada SideSwipe must be pissed!

i agree with scaleface too. but the writers image of him deserves this tittle

Why? As much as I liked Wheelie and from what I remember of Armada Side Swipe, Wheelie (at least as he was portrayed in the movie) was much more annoying.

i agree because of the movie and the series but his tech specs ive never seen before acutally no i disagree i say the humans are more annoying than weelei

LOL

I found his rhyming to be an interesting writing situation. Can you imagine having to be the writer who has to come up w/ all those lines and make them work? I couldn't do it. I don't find Wheelie to be annoying, I find him to be a challenge, and a perfect companion to Daniel in regards to being a peer and guardian. Kind of like a younger version of Spike & Bumblebee.

Maybe IDW will do a spotlight that shows off his original Tech Spec character. Done right, the rhyming could come off kind of creepy like Wierdwolf or Shrapnel's eccentricities, though creepy wouldn't really fit either incarnation of the character.*

Almost wish the Kup Spotlight had been Wheelie instead. Insanity would have been good justification for his rhyming.

*I just remembered, someone did a Mosaic like that, didn't they?

Edit: For those curious about Wheelie's original take:

Function: Survivalist

"Only the fierce shall live"

TECH SPEC BIO
Wheelie is the sole survivor from a party of intergalactic colonists who crash landed on Earth. He's a barbaric little savage who managed to stay alive by cunning, stealth, and fearlessness. Speaks in odd rhyming sentences and despises the Decepticons. Fights only when he's under attack and has to defend himself. Staunch friend to the Dinobots and a reliable ally for Hot Rod and Kup.

PROFILE
Wheelie is the "wild boy" of Quintesson- an Autobot-like youth lost when his ship went down, the only survivor of his party, staying alive by cunning and stealth and fearlessness. He speaks in odd, rhyming sentences and despises the Sharkticons and Quintessons, who are his mortal enemies. He is a staunch friend to the Dinobots, who take to him immediately, and a reliable ally in difficulties for Hot Rod and Kup when they take on the Sharkticons.

ABILITIES
He fights only when he's under attack and has to defend himself. He uses a three-bladed knife and a sling which hurls fire stones when he must attack his enemies or defend himself.

Congrats wheelie.
You actually got some credit you deserve.

Well, I can't argue about the Wheelie-annoyance-factor from the G1 series......from the second I heard that little fart, I wanted to gouge his optics out with a coke-spoon!




A well-deserved honor indeed for a truly annoying animated character!

I say Jar Jar then Wheelie.

I think Dreamwave's take on him was getting him closer to the original tech spec bio. I can't remember if he talked in rhymes, though, or at all even.

Oh! Wheelie is 897389897537896534876 times more annoying than Starscream! Although Wheelie and all the humans fall into the "Please Die Now!" category!

There's only one person that's more annoying than Wheelie: Mrs. Witwicky

Chaoslock wrote:There's only one person that's more annoying than Wheelie: Mrs. Witwicky

Oh wow! QFT! Although I dunno if she qualifies as part of the "All the humans" category though! She is kinda sub-human!

Problem is, no matter who else they nominate in the future, you're going to think "Ok, I see where they're coming from. But still not as annoying as Wheelie."

tis a prestigious award for Wheelie indeed! "The King of the Annoying Characters"











so pitiful!

Nah. The obvious choice is Frenzy from the live action Transformers movie. Man, he made me wish for Jar Jar Binks...

They should do Rodimus next. I guess I never outgrew the hurt of Optimus Prime being replaced by such a Woos.

Oh, I can think of a few...

HEY!

LISTEN!

HEY!

HEY LINK!

LISTEN TO ME!

LISTEN!

WHAT - A - SHOCKER! (not)

That little, orange turd definitely deserved this honor. It's lousy, Ewok-esque, characters like Wheelie that ruin a perfectly good movie. Why couldn't Grimlock have just stepped on his dumb ass and gone about his business???

Oh yeah! Navi was quite the annoying little bitch. Every five minutes she has to remind you to save Zelda, which is what you're doing. I forget if the fairy from MM was so annoying, but Midna was a pretty good guide, except sometimes she's useless.
"OK, Midna, how do I defeat this enemy?"
"Hurry Link, we must collect the Mirror shards!"
"Yeah, I know, but what about this guy kicking my ass?"
"Hurry Link..."
"...You f___ing bitch."

I wouldn't say that Wheelie is annoying as a character. But his robot form just seriously needs to go. It needs to go.

Was "copyright infringemnet" the reason why they can't call Clocker "Wheelie?" Because Clocker's robo-form looked WAY coolder than that of Wheelie's.

I have read Wheelie being put down in sooooooo many ways, but that is the most comprehensive and best put down ever! Has anyone ever petitioned Hasbro for a full public apology?

I will get right on that!

I used to think Wheelie was annoying until I seen Energon Ironhide

Im sure Wheelie's not that annoying.

Im going to put Doctor Who cos hes a geek and a twit and causes his own problems.
I like David Tenant but hes not happy playing that role now.

He must die.


That is all.

Doctor who is everywhere when on tv, thats what makes him annoying among other things.

I don't watch much Doctor Who, but I did just read 45 Doctor WHo Audio dramas from Big Finish last year. I havn't found him annoying yet.

I have watched Doctor Who about a dozen times....and for the life of me I cannot understand why that show has such a cult following......





.....IMHO, it sucks HUGE hairy....um.......yeah.

Yeah but Armada SideSwipe, crappier toy and partner for a much higher price, and a very annoying insecure figure who was trying to be bigger than his britches.

He realy tried upping the suck factor, you could tell, he even kept repainting himself to ruin perfectly good box sets!

But in the end, he just didn't suck enough, and you know that's gotta hurt, seeming as he suckes as he does and has been trying to bring down so many bars around him.

I can see him now, "RHYMING WUSS!" as he throws NightBeat across the room, "I MADE SURE YOU DIDN"T EVEN HAVE ARMS AND THEY STILL LIKE US MORE"

"I should be the worst, Armada SideSwipe sucks the most stupid Wheelie"

As much as Wheelie unquestionably sucks, he at least confirms our worst fears and attains a high degree of suckitude when he first opens his mouth. From there, we know there's no point of return with redeeming Wheelie. At least he kind of dropped out of Season 3 as time went on, as I understand it(this is what I read, I haven't watched most of Sesaon 3 since it originally was aired).

Yet as bad as Wheelie was, I feel Blurr and Wreck-Gar were just as loathsome, and perhaps more so. Blurr at least looked like he should be a cool Autobot and his alt mode was one of the better ones of the new Autobots(though that's not saying much, IMO). Yet, it became so bad with Blurr to the point where the Autobots were teaming him up with Wheelie just to get rid of him; it was really the best decision Rodimus ever made as leader: kill 2 birds with one stone by sending both of these galaxy-recognized irritants on dangerous missions that, unfortunately, didn't have a high enough mortality rate.

And Wreck-Gar? What's his solution to the impending catastrophe of the oncoming onslaught of Unicron while the only known entity in the universe that can stop this planet-sized terror is in the possession of his servant, Galvatron? Put aside all your troubles and dance to a Weird Al Yanovic song!!

Yeah, Wreck-Gar was cool!

Plus he had facial hair, and knew how to use a gas tank as a drum!

I think that was the problem with Wheelie and Daniel, though. The fact that the show tried to appeal to their older audience, but had a couple of characters that skewed so very much younger.

It grated with me then, and it does now. Wheelie is, and always will be, an annoying little goit. Only Nono (Ulysses 31) is worse, imho.

One character id like to smash is K9.The whole of Sarah jane Adventures is brilliant apart from that old relic.

If hes a robot dog why isnt he better and more articulated.like Ravage in G1.Yes before anyone says it i know Ravage is a Panther.
Not that that makes any diference.

c'mon is not that bad!
