{{Quotation|'''''[[Wheatley]]'''''|For god's sake, you're BOXES with LEGS! It is literally your only purpose! Walking onto buttons! How can you not do the one thing you were designed for?|}}<br />
'''Frankenturrets''' (referred to as such in the developer's commentary, no official name is given, though they could possibly be called "box creatures", as they are called this in the game's sound files) are hybrids of [[Cubes|Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cubes]] and two [[Sentry Turret]]s {{Spoiler|made by [[Wheatley]] during the course of [[Portal 2]].}}<br />
<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
{{Spoiler|[[Wheatley]] designed the Frankenturrets to compensate for his lack of test subjects, having intended to design a cube which could walk on buttons themselves. However, they are shown to be utterly useless for that purpose, only wandering around aimlessly and falling over. After their introduction, they are used in place of normal cubes, with the only major difference between them and the standard cube being that the Frankenturrets will try to hop away if placed right-side up. This can be a nuisance in Wheatley's tests, but placing them so they land on their back negates the problem.}}<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
*{{Spoiler| Instead of speaking like standard turrets, they make unusual chirping sounds, although they sound like sped up and gargled voice clips which can be roughly translated to "Let me think about this.", "What are you doing?", "Up!" and "Please put me down!"}}<br />
<br />
*When picked up, they tuck their turret bodies and legs into the cube, like hermit crabs; the term "hermit" is used in the related animations. It is also interesting to note that their form of locomotion is very much reminiscent of hermit crabs.<br />
<br />
*{{Spoiler| Their cube fixtures feature a modified version of the [[Aperture Science|Enrichment Center]] logo, reading "Wheatley Laboratories" instead of "Aperture Laboratories". This change is also visible on the loading screens during the time in Wheatley's testing track.}}<br />
<br />
*The turret heads on the cube are not consistently patterned. Occasionally they will be missing half or all of their plating.<br />
<br />
*If placed right side up, they attempt to headbutt Chell, to no effect.<br />
<br />
*{{Spoiler| If they are moved against one of Wheatley's screens through an [[Excursion Funnel]], they will smash it after a short amount of time.}}<br />
<br />
*{{Spoiler| While they do not speak themselves, they do appear to understand speech, since a number were disabled by GLaDOS' paradoxical statement. Wheatley is unaffected by [[GLaDOS]]' paradox, which suggests that the Frankenturrets are not only sentient, they are more intelligent than Wheatley.}}<br />
<br />
*{{Spoiler| Wheatley did not get electrocuted for telling the Frankenturrets to get on the button, like when he tried to help Chell during one chamber. This could indicate that Frankenturrets don't qualify as test subjects.}}<br />
<br />
*Whenever Chell picks one up, they tuck their turret legs in and shiver, looking visibly terrified. {{Spoiler| This may be because of something Wheatley had done to them before, after or during their creation. Also, as Wheatley is very frustrated with their lack of progress, he may have physically punished them.}}<br />
<br />
*{{Spoiler| A Frankenturret can be found on one of the walkways shortly after Chapter 9 begins. However, before Chell can reach it, it is destroyed by a poorly aimed crusher which Wheatley intended for Chell.}}<br />
<br />
*{{Spoiler| A Frankenturret can be seen crawling along near the back during the Turret Opera, and is occasionally mistaken for Rattmann.}}<br />
<br />
*{{Spoiler| During the co-op credits, a Frankenturret can be seen hopping along in front of the conveyor belt. Another also appears on the belt to be scanned, as do most of the NPCs and objects in the game.}}<br />
<br />
*Unlike normal turrets, the turret portion of a Frankenturret cannot be destroyed by lasers, {{Spoiler| possibly because Wheatley stripped them of their ammunitionary parts and thus made them non-explosive.}}<br />
<br />
== Behind the scenes ==<br />
* The developer commentary notes their withdrawing into a cube was initially just to make them be cubical when picked up, but it was so cute they added shaking animations and wide-eyed reactions to the turret to make the player sympathize with their plight.<br />

<br />
{{Quotation|'''Wheatley'''|I'll wait--I'll wait one hour. Then I'll come back and, assuming I can locate your dead body, I'll bury you. Alright? Brilliant! Go team! See you in an hour! Hopefully! If you're not... dead.|sound=Wheatley_sp_intro_03_afterfallalt09.wav}}<br />
<br />
'''Wheatley''', {{spoiler|previously known as the '''Intelligence Dampening Sphere'''}}, is a [[Cores#Personality Cores|personality core]] of masculine programming and English West Country accent who appears in the single-player campaign of ''[[Portal 2]]''.<br />
<br />
He serves as the game's {{W|deuteragonist}}, guiding [[Chell]] through her efforts in escaping the [[Aperture Science]] Enrichment Center. {{spoiler|However, half-way through the game he and GLaDOS switch roles as she becomes Chell's deuteragonist and Wheatley becomes the game's main antagonist.}}<br />
<br />
Wheatley is voiced by British actor and comedian {{W|Stephen Merchant}}.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
{{spoiler|Wheatley was designed to be an Intelligence Dampening Sphere, one of the [[Cores#Personality Cores|cores]] to be attached on GLaDOS in order to "generate an endless stream of terrible ideas" and inhibit her mental abilities. Although it was never explained, Wheatley was disconnected from her and given other jobs. Sometime before [[GLaDOS]] killed off the entire staff in the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]'' comic using neurotoxin, Wheatley had worked alongside staffs before he was put into storage with other cores seen at the end of ''[[Portal]]''. After a few years, though under unknown circumstances, he was put into deactivation along with many other personality cores and kept in storage.}}<br />
<br />
{{spoiler|Thanks to [[Chell]]'s havoc on the Enrichment Center via the destruction of GLaDOS at the conclusion of ''Portal'', Wheatley and the rest of the cores were reactivated in order to maintain the facility. Ironically, this backfired as many cores (except Wheatley and the [[Cores#Corrupted Cores|corrupted cores]] seen at the end of the game) appear to have been either killed off, gone insane, or ran low on power.}}<br />
<br />
Prior to the events of ''Portal 2'', Wheatley took charge of maintaining the [[Extended Relaxation Center]] - which houses test subjects in long-term cryogenic stasis before and after they are put through the testing courses. However, what he has done to actually manage the entire wing remains unmentioned. It was only until many centuries later that Wheatley decided to escape the facility. To accomplish this, he attempted to gather help from any remaining test subject that managed to last centuries after running out of cryogenic supply. Luckily for him, Chell was one of them if not the only one that lasted.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
=== ''Portal 2'' ===<br />
{{See also|Portal 2}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Wheatley intro rail.jpg|thumb|120px|right|Wheatley's first appearance.]]<br />
<br />
Wheatley is first seen during the very beginning of the game during the chapter ''The Courtesy Call'', wherein he removes Chell from her Relaxation Vault and puts her into one of the old testing tracks, so she can find a [[Handheld Portal Device]] and help him escape. After she acquires the device, he meets up with her and detaches himself from his management rail to accompany her to the [[Central AI Chamber]] so they can access an escape pod to the surface. He uses his compatibility with the Enrichment Center's systems to allow passage through a testing chamber's backstage. {{spoiler|When they reach the ruined Central AI Chamber and he tries to activate the escape pod, he accidentally reactivates [[GLaDOS]] instead. Chell and Wheatley are both captured by her. Wheatley is crushed by GLaDOS' pincers and tossed to the side. Chell is placed back in GLaDOS' testing tracks. However, he somehow survives and is placed back on his management rail, due to an incident involving a bird (Wheatley attempts to explain the events of this incident to Chell, but never gets the chance).}}<br />
<br />
{{spoiler|Throughout Chapters 2, 3, and 4, Wheatley observes Chell from behind the scenes of the test chambers, trying to figure out a way to break her out. Finally, at the end of Chapter 4, he is successful and they both escape into the manufacturing section of Aperture, just before GLaDOS is about to kill Chell. He hatches a plan to sabotage GLaDOS, then confront her, defeat her, and escape. They sabotage GLaDOS' [[turret]] production line, by replacing the template turret, and her [[neurotoxin]] generator, by cutting the neurotoxin hoses with a [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]].}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Wheatley extract potatos.jpg|thumb|150px|left|{{spoiler|Wheatley having extracted GLaDOS into a potato battery.}}]]<br />
<br />
{{spoiler|Once this is done, Chell and Wheatley return to the Central AI Chamber through the [[Tubes]] to confront GLaDOS. The [[Announcer]] detects GLaDOS as a corrupted [[Cores#Central Core|central core]] and offers a core transfer. A stalemate is reached between Wheatley and GLaDOS, and Chell has to push the Stalemate Resolution Button. Once Chell does this, the core transfer commences. GLaDOS' head is removed from her body and Wheatley is put in its place, putting him in control of the facility. He summons an elevator for Chell to escape to the surface, but just as the elevator is starting to rise, Wheatley grows corrupted with power and lowers it back down. He says spitefully that all Chell does is boss him around (Ironically, Chell never says a word in either game), but now ''he'' is the boss and she is at his mercy. Wheatley transfers GLaDOS' core programming to a small computer chip powered by a potato battery as an attempt to humiliate her. In her potato form, GLaDOS suddenly recognizes Wheatley's voice. She tells him that he was originally designed as an Intelligence Dampening Sphere, "producing an endless stream of terrible ideas", essentially "designed to be a moron". In a fit of rage, he accidentally knocks both her and Chell into the bottom of the elevator shaft leading to the depths of the Enrichment Center.}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Wheatleys test chambers.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{spoiler|The Enrichment Center during Wheatley's control.}}]]<br />
<br />
{{spoiler|After returning from the bottom of the Enrichment Center, Chell and potato-GLaDOS learn that Wheatley's moronic actions are causing the facility's reactor to approach a nuclear meltdown because he consistently neglects the urgent warnings from the [[Announcer]], instead preferring to think of ways to satisfy the testing addiction he gets from inhabiting GLaDOS' body, which he calls "the itch". One such (unsuccessful) endeavor is the creation of [[Weighted Storage Cube|Cube]]/[[Turret]] hybrids, or "[[Frankenturret|Frankenturrets]]" designed to autonomously walk onto [[Super Button|buttons]]. When Wheatley discovers Chell and GLaDOS, the latter attempts to overclock Wheatley's processors by forcing him to interpret a paradox, but it doesn't work because he isn't smart enough to even understand that it is a paradox at all. When this attempt fails, Wheatley puts Chell and GLaDOS into his own testing tracks (most of them stolen from GLaDOS). As they go through the testing tracks, he examines the rest of the Enrichment Center and discovers [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]]. Realizing he no longer needs Chell to continue testing, he sets a trap, with which he can [[Crushers|crush]] her to death. However, Chell evades his trap, escapes the testing area, and prepares for the final confrontation with him.}}<br />
<br />
{{spoiler|When Chell arrives in Wheatley's chamber, Wheatley employs a four-part plan to destroy her: no portal surfaces, start the [[neurotoxin]] immediately, bomb-proof shields, and [[bomb]] launchers. This backfires, however, when Chell uses a bomb to shatter a pipe of [[Conversion Gel]], then uses this gel to redirect bombs at Wheatley. Each bomb stuns Wheatley for long enough to attach a [[Cores#Corrupted Cores|corrupted core]] onto him. Once this is done three times, Wheatley is corrupt enough for the announcer to initiate a core transfer. A stalemate occurs once more between Wheatley and GLaDOS, and Chell must press the stalemate resolution button to finalize the transfer. However, Wheatley had booby trapped it with explosives before the fight, as the fifth part of his plan, and Chell is flung from the button. The explosion dislodges part of the ceiling, exposing the night sky and the Moon. Chell shoots a portal onto the Moon, causing both her and Wheatley to be sucked into space, both of them holding onto the central core body in order to stay anchored on Earth. While they are suspended here, the core transfer is completed. GLaDOS returns to her original place as Central Core, knocks Wheatley off her body, and rescues Chell. Wheatley flies off into space, accompanied by the [[Space Sphere]].}}<br />
<br />
{{spoiler|Wheatley is last seen in the epilogue after the end credits, with the [[Space Sphere|Space Core]] orbiting him, where he wishes he could say he was sorry for all he did to Chell.}}<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Appearance-wise, Wheatley appears to be a variant of [[GLaDOS]]' Intelligence Core (the one telling the [[cake]] recipe), with a blue "eye" and three dots, though Wheatley has dots only on his right side and possesses a white light as his iris instead.<br />
<br />
* Wheatley's {{W|Cockney#Cockney_speech|Cockney accent}} heard in the [[Meet Wheatley (video)]] video shown at E3 2010 uses a placeholder voice provided by [[Valve]] animator [http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,55298/ Richard Lord].<ref>[http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/06/portal-2-wheatley/ ''Portal 2'' Gains a Talkative Companion] on Wired.com</ref> Due to very positive feedback, Valve considered at some point making the voice official.<ref>[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=21890104&postcount=83 ''Portal 2'' E3 gameplay video (single post)] on the NeoGAF forums</ref> Later Lord himself emphasized that his voice was temporary, saying that "theres no way you will be dissapointed with the final voice - i'm over the moon with who it might be." [sic],<ref>[http://lastoutpostofsanity.com/2010/06/tempvoice/ "Temp voice!"] on Last Outpost of Sanity, Richard Lord's official blog</ref> until it was announced that Stephen Merchant would provide the final voice.<ref>[http://pc.ign.com/articles/109/1095842p1.html Gamescom: ''Portal 2'' gets Stephen Merchant] on ComputerAndVideoGames.com</ref><br />
<br />
* {{spoiler|During the 2011 Video Game Awards, Wheatley was nominated for "Character of the Year". He then made an appearance on the event which depicted him in space as he states that he would be even more honored for a space shuttle rescue.<ref>[http://www.gametrailers.com/video/vga-2011-spike-vgas/724835 Wheatley footage at VGA 2011] on GameTrailers</ref>}} ''Portal 2'' then won the award for "Best Performance by a Human Male" with Stephen Merchant's portrayal of Wheatley.<ref>[http://www.spike.com/events/video-game-awards-2011-nominees/voting/best-performance-by-a-human-male Best Performance by a Human Male] on Spike</ref><br />
<br />
* Wheatley makes a cameo appearance in an official [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=7375 plugin], created by Bethesda and Valve, for ''The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'', entitled {{spoiler|'''Fall of the Space Core, Vol. 1'''. In it, he can be seen floating around the Skills menu.}}<br />
<br />
* In the developer commentary of Portal 2, it is revealed that he was originally intended to have tried escaping with other subjects prior to waking Chell up. {{Spoiler|This still remains in the game, as during the final boss battle, he says that he tried escaping with 6 people prior. However, due to his nature and the heat of the battle, it is unknown if he was lying or not.}}<br />
<br />
* {{spoiler|When Wheatley speaks Spanish it translates to "You are using this translation software incorrectly. Please consult the manual."}}<br />
<br />
* Wheatley , alongside GLaDOS and Chell, appears in [[LEGO Dimensions]]; {{spoiler|in the main story of the game, Wheatley attempts to aid the main characters {{w|Gandalf}}, {{w|Batman}}, and [http://lego-dimensions.wikia.com/wiki/Wyldstyle Wyldstyle] obtain [[Cake|cake]] and later escape from a [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator|room-sized incinerator]]. Later, he reappears with the power of teleportation and again helps Chell overthrow GLaDOS by putting the [[Space Sphere]] in charge of the facility.}}<br />
** {{spoiler| While '''non-canon''' to the ''Portal'' series, in his first ''LEGO'' appearance, Wheatley is still bound to railing (as he was in the early parts of ''Portal 2''), whereas later he is free-floating; both he and GLaDOS reference the events of ''Portal 2's '' ending. This may imply that the two appearances are intended to take place at different points in time with regard to the ''Portal'' timeline.}}<br />
<br />
* {{spoiler|When Whealtey is transferred into GLaDOS' body, his handles are removed. Oddly, when Wheatley is being sucked into space, the handles suddenly reappear despite still being connected to the main frame.}}<br />

<br />
{{Quotation|'''Party Escort Bot'''|Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position.|sound=partyescort.wav}}<br />
<br />
The '''Party Escort Bot''' or '''Party Associate''', is a mysterious pink-eyed [[Cores#Personality Cores|core]] and android that was originally cut from ''[[Portal]]'' until it was later added {{spoiler|into the game's ending}} as part of the [[March 3, 2010 Patch (Portal)|March 3, 2010 patch]].<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
During the events of ''[[Portal]]'', {{spoiler|[[GLaDOS]] refers to the Party Associate after failing her attempt to kill [[Chell]] at the end of the [[Portal Test Chamber 19|final test chamber]]. As Chell did not follow GLaDOS as the latter instructed her to "place the device on the ground, then lie on [her] stomach with [her] arms at [her] sides" which was described as the "party escort submission position", it is presumed that the Party Escort Bot was required to travel to the surface in order to retrieve her and "escort her to the party".}}<br />
<br />
{{spoiler|Prior to the [[March 3, 2010 Patch (Portal)|March 3, 2010 patch]], ''Portal'' ended with [[Chell]] slowly regaining consciousness on the parking lot above the [[Aperture Science]] Enrichment Center. Since the patch was added to bridge the gap between ''Portal'' and ''[[Portal 2]]'', Chell is instead slowly and unwillingly dragged back towards the facility by the unseen Party Escort Bot as it thanks her for "assuming the party escort submission position".}}<br />
<br />
The Party Escort Bot is seen briefly in the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]'' comic and was only partially depicted, revealed to be a [[Cores#Personality Cores|core]]-based android with a pink eye.<br />
<br />
Like most Aperture robots, the Party Escort Bot possesses a mechanical tone of voice.<br />
<br />
== Development and acting ==<br />
According to [[Valve Corporation|Valve]] writer Erik Wolpaw, the Party Escort Bot was initially intended to be seen as an easter egg {{spoiler|during the escape chapter of ''Portal''. Wolpaw describes the bot as something that will "presumably come to collect Chell after she escapes the fiery death that GLaDOS had prepared for her".<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/10/opening-the-portal-exploring-portal-s-creation-and-its-ties-to-half-life-2.aspx?PostPageIndex=2 Opening The Portal: Exploring The Game's Development] on GameInformer</ref>}} Currently, the voice actor behind the Party Associate has yet to be named and may likely have been a part of the Valve staff.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The Party Escort Bot uses a placeholder model in-game, named <code>GhostAnim.mdl</code>, which uses the texture of the bean cans found throughout the game. Shooting a [[Portals|portal]] on it or anywhere near it will crash the game. It was nicknamed "Bean Cube" during the ''Portal'' ARG.<br />
* The bot's line isn't subtitled.<br />
* The bot's line also isn't translated in other languages.<br />
* The track '''''Party Escort''''' from the [[Portal soundtrack]] is a reference to the Party Escort Bot.<br />

* The bot's line isn't subtitled.<br />
* The bot's line also isn't translated in other languages.<br />
* The track '''''Party Escort''''' from the [[Portal soundtrack]] is a reference to the Party Escort Bot.<br />

In ''[[Portal]]'', '''Hoopy the Hoop''' was a hoop fallen from the {{spoiler|sky among the wreckage of [[GLaDOS]] at the end of the game. Hoopy landed on the [[Aperture Science]] parking lot in front of [[Chell]] just before being dragged off by the [[Party Escort Bot]].}}<br />
<br />
As joked about in an interview with [[Valve]] on [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/10/opening-the-portal-exploring-portal-s-creation-and-its-ties-to-half-life-2.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 "Opening The Portal: Exploring The Game's Development"], said they never expected "The Cake is a Lie" to become such a huge hit. The developers said they expected, if anything, that Hoopy the Hoop would become the meme derived from ''Portal''.<br />
<br />
Erik Wolpaw jokes, "We thought we should have a warehouse full of Hoopy t-shirts and mugs and posters…we would watch that hoop roll by over and over again. That was the part of the game we were most proud of, and nobody cared."<br />
<br />
In Portal 2 it became a [[Wikipedia:Canon (fiction)|canon]] joke, by reappearing in some chambers (See "Portal 2" Below.).<br />
<br />
Hoopy's in-game code is glados_gib_10.<br />

Hoopy is known to appear in a few places within ''Portal 2''. Its earliest known appearance is in [[Portal 2 Chapter 1 Her Chamber|GLaDOS' ruined chamber]], where it lays slightly to the left of what could be described as [[GLaDOS]]' head; its second known appearance is underneath a floor [[Panels|panel]] in [[Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 2|Test Chamber 02]]. {{spoiler|It then makes its third known appearance behind a desk in [[Doug Rattmann|Rattmann]]'s den in [[Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 6|Test Chamber 06]]; this is the same den as referred to by the [[Achievements#Portal 2|Final Transmission]] achievement.}}<br />
Hoopy's fourth appearance is in one of the randomly-chosen exit corridors in chambers created with the [[Puzzle Maker|Perpetual Testing Initiative]]. It is seen by noclipping into the ceilings of the exit corridor, although it doesn't appear in every one.<br />

In ''[[Portal]]'', '''Hoopy the Hoop''' was a hoop fallen from the {{spoiler|sky among the wreckage of [[GLaDOS]] at the end of the game. Hoopy landed on the [[Aperture Science]] parking lot in front of [[Chell]] just before being dragged off by the [[Party Escort Bot]].}}<br />
<br />
As joked about in an interview with [[Valve]] on [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/10/opening-the-portal-exploring-portal-s-creation-and-its-ties-to-half-life-2.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 "Opening The Portal: Exploring The Game's Development"], said they never expected "The Cake is a Lie" to become such a huge hit. The developers said they expected, if anything, that Hoopy the Hoop would become the meme derived from ''Portal''.<br />
<br />
Erik Wolpaw jokes, "We thought we should have a warehouse full of Hoopy t-shirts and mugs and posters…we would watch that hoop roll by over and over again. That was the part of the game we were most proud of, and nobody cared."<br />
<br />
In Portal 2 it became a [[Wikipedia:Canon (fiction)|canon]] joke, by reappearing in some chambers (See "Portal 2" Below.).<br />
<br />
Hoopy's in-game code is glados_gib_10.<br />

<br />
Hoopy is known to appear in a few places within ''Portal 2''. Its earliest known appearance is in [[Portal 2 Chapter 1 Her Chamber|GLaDOS' ruined chamber]], where it lays slightly to the left of what could be described as [[GLaDOS]]' head; its second known appearance is underneath a floor [[Panels|panel]] in [[Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 2|Test Chamber 02]]. {{spoiler|It then makes its third known appearance behind a desk in [[Doug Rattmann|Rattmann]]'s den in [[Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 6|Test Chamber 06]]; this is the same den as referred to by the [[Achievements#Portal 2|Final Transmission]] achievement.}}<br />
Hoopy's fourth appearance is in one of the randomly-chosen exit corridors in chambers created with the [[Puzzle Maker|Perpetual Testing Initiative]]. It is seen by noclipping into the ceilings of the exit corridor, although it doesn't appear in every one.<br />
