Guillermo Gutierrez, better known by his nicknameMemo, works at the Quique's Churros stand atBrighton Falls Boardwalk. He is a bit of a science fiction fan, which is probably just as well, as his interest in his neighbor,Charlie Watson, is about to involve him in a fight to save the entire planet from giant killer robots from space.

Spying Charlie working at her job at the hot dog stand, Guillermo attempted to approach her, only to be brushed off as she took a tray of food to some customers. A couple of days later, he emerged from his house reading an issue ofGoBotsMagazine when he spied Charlie and again unsuccessfully attempted to introduce himself. Finally, he resolved to ask her on a date and barged in, only to find her hanging out in her garage with a giant robot that turned into a Volkswagen. After mishearing his name as "Memo" and swearing him to secrecy, Charlie introduced him toBumblebee.
The pair went driving in Bumblebee, and Charlie temporarily borrowed Memo's shirt to demonstrate Bumblebee's ability to self-drive. They eventually ended up on a cliff at the sea edge whereTripp Summers challenged Charlie to jump off. After Charlie suffered the scorn of her schoolmates, particularlyTina Lark, because she couldn't dive, Memo suggested they get revenge on Tina. The pair took Bumblebee to Tina's house after dark and attempted to instruct him in the art of TPing the house and egging Tina's car, however, the Autobot went overboard and ended up enthusiastically destroying the car. After a getaway that included a brief police chase, Memo and Charlie said their goodnights and parted ways.
The following day, Memo heard crashes coming from Charlie's house and rang her at her work. The pair investigated and found that Bumblebee had managed to trash much of the house's interior. He set about helping Charlie tidy up, but had to hide when Charlie'smother came home and accompanied Charlie as she took a drive in Bee to cool off after the ensuing argument. They encountered aSector Seven roadblock, at which point Memo became separated from Charlie and Bumblebee, and was returned home. After Charlie escaped from her own house, she visited Memo and they determined that Bumblebee, who'd been taken by Sector Seven, was likely atMcKinnon Air Base.
Charlie and Memo headed to the air force base on Charlie's bike, where they witnessedShatter andDropkick interrogating and then terminating Bee. With Memo's help, Charlie was able to restore Bumblebee to life, however, Sector Seven forces arrived and blew up the door, injuring Memo. Bumblebee managed to initially fight off Sector Seven, and as they returned, Memo opted to stay behind, unsuccessfully trying to delay them while Charlie and Bumblebee headed to the dock to foil the Decepticons' plans. Memo later arrived at the dock to find the world had already been saved and askedAgent Burns to call his mom. Memo was later reunited with Charlie when she returned home after parting ways with Bumblebee, though they mutually agreed they weren't at the "holding hands" stage yet.Bumblebee
