**Mikaela Banes** is one of the two deuteragonists of *Transformers* and *Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen* (alongside Bumblebee). She is a car mechanic due to her past experiences with helping her father stealing cars from other individuals. With her father incarcerated, Mikaela lives alone. However, she has kept this aspect of her life a secret and is one of the most popular girls in high school. She is one of the love interests of Sam Witwicky and close friends with the Autobots, especially Bumblebee.

She is portrayed by Megan Fox, who also portrays April O'Neill in the *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles* live-action film series.

## Biography

### Early life

Mikaela Banes was born in 1990 to Colin Banes and an unnamed woman. When her father would steal cars, Mikaela would tag along with him whenever he couldn't find a babysitter for her. Unfortunately, because her father was a car thief, Mikaela eventually had a juvenile record because she refused to rat her father out and the police officer charged her out of spite. She kept this part of her past hidden from everyone at school. She was one of the popular girls. Having known Sam since the first grade, she was mostly unaware he was in her classes, and in truth, was jealous of other people's lives. When she began growing closer with Sam, she didn't want him to find out.

### *Transformers: Dark of the Moon*

Mikaela and Sam broke up between the second and third films. Had her actress not been removed from the film's production, it would have seen her grow from the teenage convict to the confident young woman.

In the film, she has apparently left Sam, only leaving Wheelie behind.

### Alternate Reality

In another timeline, Mikaela Banes lost the boy she loved, Sam Witwicky, who was killed by Megatron during the battle as Optimus Prime failed to rescue his friend in time. The leader of the Decepticons took over the Earth, leaving Mikaela and Bumblebee devastated after losing Sam. Mikaela and Bumblebee both became partners in crime and vigilantes to fight in the name of their fallen comrade. She helped rescue Optimus Prime and saw him out of cyrogenesis when Frenzy attacked her. Mikaela, with Banachek's help in locating an antivirus experiment block the AllSpark's power, it's power consumed in Megatron and killed him for good, thus avenging Sam Witwicky and Jazz. She and Bumblebee remain partners in crime as they drive off into the sunset.
