{{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 is 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, Old Aperture}} | {{spoiler|Once this is done, Chell and Wheatley return to the Central AI Chamber through the [[Tubes]] to confront GLaDOS.

{{spoiler|After returning from Old Aperture, 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, GLaDOS attempts to overclock Wheatley's processors by forcing him to interpret a paradox, but the attempt fails as he isn't smart enough to even understand that it is a paradox at all, even his Frankenturrets understand this paradox, as they are seen twitching and sparking after the paradox is mentioned. When this attempt fails, Wheatley puts Chell and GLaDOS into his own testing tracks (most of them stolen from GLaDOS, and usually mashed together with other stolen tracks in a semi-failed attempt to make new chambers.) 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.}} | {{spoiler|After returning from Old Aperture, 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".

** {{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.}} | ** {{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.
