Aaah, The Wreckers! :D

I have a long weekend coming up, so Im gonna get on with my extended mission, creating my ultimate neo-classics line up of The Wreckers.

Itll be like Christmas come early with the amount of MISB figures I have to open to get these guys together. :P

Where I dont own a figure, I will try and find a stand-in or homage from my collection. I would obviously love to drop some hard cash on the Fansproject Warbots but other 'bots keep raising their heads! ;)

Come on folks, lets see how much love you have for The Wreckers!

There's going to be an awesome Whirl coming out soonish!

That with the ruination coming, I think the whole Neo-Classics Wreckers team can be completed!

I'm using them as my Shattered Glass Wreckers. They're going to be awesome.

I should start out by saying that my only links to the Wreckers are the movie and the novel, so I don't have many requirements when choosing figures for each character, and using movie related toys isn't a problem for me. Going by what has been mentioned here and at tfwiki I've come up with basic ideas for alt mode requirements for toys I'm not familiar with and added toys I already own of those I want to be included.

I'm hoping to re-purpose as many of my existing toys as possible (assuming I can remember what is packed away), but don't want to use anything relating to a cartoon series, and will buy any of the remaining where possible.

My list won't be a big as many, but it is enough for my purposes. I'd like to say a big thanks to Robotmel who's list I ripped off copied and modified, without that list I couldn't have started my own ;)

On the way/Will get toys are the figures I know about and will try to buy in the future or those that are sitting in my PoL atm.

Need to find are those I'm not sure about and still need to track down. I have a basic idea of what these guys should transform into, but if I've got any of the alt modes wrong let me know (waiting to see what FP do with Sandstorm).

Bold = already have
Underline = in PoL, shipping or will be buying first chance I get

Line-up
1. Ultra Magnus - Fansproject City Commander [Ultra]
2. Impactor - Ruination gestalt [Deluxe]
3. Roadbuster - Ruination gestalt [Deluxe]
4. Whirl - Ruination gestalt [Deluxe]
5. Topspin - Ruination gestalt [Deluxe]
6. Twin Twist - Ruination gestalt [Deluxe]
7. Kup - Generations Kup [Deluxe]
8. Blurr - Generations Blurr [Deluxe]
9. Springer - FP Defendor [Deluxe]
10. Broadside - FP Assaulter [Ultra]
11. Sandstorm -
12. Guzzle - HftD Breacher [Scout]
13. Ironfist -
14. Rotorstorm -
15. Leadfoot -
16. Scoop -
17. Pyro -

On the way/Will get
1. Broadside - FP Assaulter [Ultra]
2. Impactor - Ruination gestalt [Deluxe]
3. Roadbuster - Ruination gestalt [Deluxe]
4. Whirl - Ruination gestalt [Deluxe]
5. Topspin - Ruination gestalt [Deluxe]
6. Twin Twist - Ruination gestalt [Deluxe]

Need to find
1. Sandstorm -
2. Ironfist (hummer/jeep) - RtS Fallback? [Deluxe]
3. Rotorstorm (helicopter) -
4. Leadfoot (sports/race car) - Cybertron Blurr? [Deluxe]
5. Scoop (front end loader/construction vehicle) - FP?/Cybertron Longrack? [Deluxe]/RiD Wedge? [Deluxe]
6. Pyro (fire truck) -

Any feedback or tips would be greatly appreciated

Isn't Dotm CV Commander Guzzle actually in-scale already? He's supposed to be diminutively short from what I understand.

No idea, but I don't have him and already have Mindset sitting there doing nothing and for me Guzzle doesn't need to be small. That said I was also thinking of using HftD Breacher, his smaller size could work and he also is sitting there doing nothing. I really don't want to buy Dotm CV Commander Guzzle when I have other unused toys I can re-purpose.

Breacher is a pretty cool guy, he deserves the spot, I say! :grin:

I've used Breacher as a stand-in Wrecker before their ranks swelled. I gave him an Elite Guard sticker and he works well now in Thunderclash's crew

Thank you for the praise but if it wasnt for everyone on this fansite, that list wouldnt be what it is!

A big thank you to everyone that has came up with suggestions for figures, stand-ins and all the great customs we have seen! :APPLAUSE:

I have decided to take the plunge via BBTS?
Mech iDeas - Topspin & Twin Twist will be mine!!! :grin:

I have also spotted a couple of cheeky non-TFs (KOs?) on t'Ebay which I might be able to use as stand-ins...roll on payday! :lol:

True that, this thread is amazing :D

I ended up putting in a pre-order for them, but will most likely cancel it in favor of Ruination. I'm a sucker for a gestalt :grin:

Had some more ideas for possible wreckers while digging through my boxed up toys.

Ironfist - RtS Fallback

Leadfoot - Cybertron Blurr

Scoop - Cybertron Longrack / RiD Wedge, already got Wedge with my RiD set but can get another fairly cheap if need be.

I like my choices for Ironfist and Leadfoot, but the two options for Scoop I'm not sold on yet. If wedge was bigger he'd be a shoe in...

I ended up not really caring who ends up in the Wreckers, but the current line-up is as follows:

Generations/RtS
Kup, Blurr, Drift, Perceptor, Special Ops Jazz (because yes), Warpath (Roadbuster stand-in), Wheeljack (from the Aligned continuity idea), Seaspray (again, Aligned).

DotM Guzzle

HA Sandstorm and Whirl

The Wreckers look AWESOME! Nice one Mooncake! ;)

I think the Mech iDeas Wreckers homage' are out before we see a release of Ruination?
I have ordered Mech iDeas via BBTS as they look really nice but would also like to pick up Ruination guessing they will have new head sculpt and possibly new weapons?

It would be soooo cool if hasbro or a 3rd Party (more likely!) did a Wreck n Rule figure! :D
