Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

Wheelarch was looking at a screen at the Rodion police station whenMegatronwas released from captivity.Chaos Theory #1

Some time later, Wheelarch and Springarm were patrolling the streets without finding a single criminal to arrest. Springarm gushed a bit over how great Orion Pax was and how it finally felt like the police were making a difference, while Wheelarch thought he sounded lame. They both shut up once it turned out the reason they missed all the crime was because Orion had already arrested everyone. Shortly after Orion had left on another patrol,Kromaand two other thugs with connections to theSenateattacked the police station to rescue their "friend"Whirl,killing Wheelarch and Springarm. Their heads were placed in Orion Pax's display cabinet to mock him, while Wheelarch's body was left on the steps to the building.Chaos Theory #2
