The attempt results in the slaughter of the entire Autobot party except for Wheelie. Just before Rodimus Prime dies, he passes the Autobot Matrix of Leadership to Wheelie.

Left in charge of the remaining Autobots holed up amongst some of Cybertron's ruins, Wheelimus Prime leads Hubcap, Bumper, and Powerglide and together they steal a ship, leaving Cybertron to the Decepticons, and instead focus on what he has always done best - survive!"

That's a good backstory! And it works well with Wheelie given how much of an annoyance he is! A Wheelie putting away childish things (including his speech pattern) and becoming a leader would definitely make a good story or series!
