Mojo

Transformers film
- Actor: Chester the Chihuahua
Although Mojo was Sam's dog, Judy appeared to consider him her pet as well. She put a "Mojo's Penthouse" sign on his dog house and puts girl dog jewelry on him, claiming that it was his "bling". Sam argued that it was hurting his self-esteem issues, which he claimed were already heightened due to the fact that he was a Chihuahua.
Mojo broke his left foreleg shortly before Sam got his new car. Sam was carrying Mojo's pain pills when he was taken down to police headquarters, which made the overzealous sheriff there think Sam was a junkie.
When the Autobots went to the Witwicky residence, Mojo made the mistake of releasing what the robots thought was lubricant on Ironhide's foot. Upon discovering this, Ironhide requested permission to terminate the "rodent," but Sam Witwicky frantically told Ironhide that humans love Chihuahuas. Ironhide agreed to spare it, complaining that the "lubricant" would cause rust.
Mojo was taken into custody with the rest of the family by Sector Seven, with Judy threatening to kick the ass of anyone who hurt him, but Mojo was later released with the Witwickys. The agent who had to escort Mojo to the van with a catch pole used to control vicious or stray dogs must have felt really silly. Transformers
Revenge of the Fallen film
- Actor: Chester the Chihuahua
Good news on three fronts: Mojo's leg was better, he has a lot more bling, and he had a new doggie pal named Frankie. Frankie was easily dominated.
As Sam was preparing to leave for college, Mojo relieved the stress of his owner's departure by dominating Frankie on the couch until an annoyed Ron Witwicky shooed them off and told Mojo not to dominate Frankie. Not to be deterred, Mojo and Frankie went out to the penthouse for some domination...at which point the entire kitchen came to life and started attacking Sam and Ron. Once they made it outside, the appliancebots located the penthouse and fired on it. Mojo ceased dominating Frankie long enough for the two to flee. After the danger had passed, Judy frantically carried the two dogs out when Sam's car set the house on fire. Revenge of the Fallen

Mojo was running about in the Witwickys' front yard when he wasn't supposed to. He was possibly chasing after a house cat. Sam caught him though, and fairly easily at that. Tales of the Fallen #1
When Sam was "sidelined again" during the Autobots' conflict with the Decepticons, he lay back in his backyard while Brains and Wheelie counted stars in the night sky. Mojo and Frankie looked on from the comfort of their dog houses. Dark of the Moon #2

While fighting the Ravage drones, Jake jokingly stated that Mojo, whom he referred to as "Sam's Chihuahua", would be too scared to see the aforementioned drones. Transformers: Human Alliance
Notes
- At one of the BotCon 2007 movie writers panels, it was revealed that Mojo was originally going to be a Bulldog (as one of the writers owned a Bulldog named Mojo growing up), but director Michael Bay decided to change the dog to a Chihuahua. However, they did eventually get an actual Bulldog cast in the sequel.
- Mojo's broken leg was caused by Judy accidentally loading him into the washing-machine along with a pile of clothes. This is only mentioned in the novelization, however, as dialog about it was cut from the final version of the film.
