Glad you like my pic! Mugen Calibur is pretty tall, definately voyager sized. Plus the vehicle is nice and hefty. However, his poseability leaves a lot to be desired. I have reviewed him on my site:

i think now might be the time for patience. Mugen Calibur is expensive and pretty flawed. I never thought we would see a voyager class whirl with such a strong resemblance to a non-takara toy, but here he is on the way. I think Hasbro will do voyager class Roadbuster too. I went through 2 whirls pretty needlessly in the end, and you might regret not waiting like I do

so you don't like the new Takara non-transformig roadbuster either? hm...

you like the new whirl over the one with the headrobots upgrade? I like the new whirl too but it's not IDW whirl to me... I would continue using my headrobots upgraded whirl for my wreckers display. also I just keep my foc whirl, twin twist, and top spin with the SG stuff. their colors are off enough for me to be shatter glass.

Well, to be fair, it's not IDW to anyone, as it's G1 Whirl. Nice thought about keeping the FoC Wreckers with a SG display.

I'm a geewunner at heart, thats for sure! And thats why whirl surprised me so, because the new toy really resembles the G1 toy. I thought thought licensing issues would preclude that, but here we are!

It's entirely probable that Hasbro simply asked if it was alright, as they did with Classics Jetfire previously. But subsequently failed to do with their SDCC GI Joe exclusive.

After literally a year of no communication, I've received word that my Rack 'n' Ruin custom is being worked on again!

Sorry for the straight facebook picture, but I'm on my phone and this is a big enough chore. This is the RnR love this thread needs.

Over my years, I've seen a small number of Rack 'n' Ruin customs. Of those customs, I think I can say that I have one of the best interpretations of this Siamese Wrecker(s) coming my way. Don't believe me, have a looksee!







All thanks to This fine gentleman!

The full gallery can be seen here!

Wow! Thats a really great custom piece from Spoonman, well done!

Perhaps 2014 will finally be the year of Rack 'n' Ruin?

Come on you 3rd Party wannabes, get creating!

Not mine, but Ben's, from Benscollectables/Transformermegazord.

Looks like a nice line-up:

Why is Drift in there?

I realize he was hand-selected by Kup for his team in the IDW comics, but if I remember correctly they were not an iteration of the Wreckers.

Why would Drift NOT be there?

Drift is kinda like the new kid on the block, the new player sitting on the bench at the side of the pitch!

If The Wreckers keep swelling their numbers, they are going to take up an entire Ikea Detolf display cabinet!!

It would be sweet if one of the very many 3rd Party players would tease a Rack n Ruin, such a simple figure, joint at the shoulder, no transformation, fixed weapons, easy!

So sweet!!!

"We need to WRECK!"

With the arrival of my Rack 'n' Ruin commission (he turned out so well!) my Wreckers shelf is complete until the arrival of the new Whirl and Ironfist.

For those wondering, the two little halo figs represent Verity Carlo and Hunter O'nion.

Very nice! I'm not that interested in these guys, but would love to see them on my shelf they are that good.

how much did the RnR custom cost u? thats is a marvelous custom..

You know, looking at the original PRiD Ultra Magnus...You might be able to squeeze a nice Classics Pyro out of that mold...
