Still needed...

Impactor ~ Fall of Cybertron Impactor [Deluxe]
Broadside ~ Fansproject Assaulter [Ultra]
Emirate Xaaron ~ ??? [Deluxe]





Looking through a little history of Transformers character Emirate Xaaron, he is depicted as staying in 'bot form form many years, but his alt form is a type of 'tank'.

Can anyone suggest a fitting Transformer that could take the place as Emirate Xaaron in a Neo Classics take on The Wreckers? No, he isnt a Wrecker himself but an additional figure to the greater story of, which would be kinda nice to stand alongside the line-up.

Scale wise, I would say he needs to fall around Deluxe size, no smaller, but I guess Voyager may work.
Perhaps Cybertron Galaxy Force Vector Prime in his golden deco might work, but he aint a tank!

What do you Seibertronians think?

With that add on Ultra Magnus is Ultra Class (Just wanted a turn at nitpicking )

Not sure you're going to find anything with a reasonably close alt mode in the right colours. What is more important, alt mode or colour? There are a few options if you are willing to do a little customising.

Cheers, of course he is!

Keeping with his back story, I guess I would have to go with robot mode, something in yelow or gold, with a possible Megatron likeness (he looks like Megatron minus the gun alt mode kibble)?

Heck, I would even pop for a KO Deluxe G2 Tank Megatron in yellow/gold!

Aaargh, decisions, decisions!

I assume you are talking about a KO of this version of Megs.

I don't know enough about Emirate Xaaron, but I doubt there are any transformers toys that look like that

and still transform

If he is a bot that doesn't transform then any robot with 2 arms, 2 legs and Megs head stuck on it should work

Loving your line-up, looking really good!

The addition of RiD Wedge and that Pyro stand-in makes for a cool Wrecker crew!!

I would love to own a FP Springer should you wish to part with him?
The new upcoming Hasbro Springer does look pretty sweet too!

Thanks! It is coming along nicely

As for Springer, even though he will be replaced with the Generations version, I doubt I'll sell him. Never sold a tf yet (though did give 3 to my 9yo cuz to help get her hooked on tfs ) and probably won't in the future. To be perfectly honest I'd say don't bother with the FP version. Mine can sometimes stand up unaided, but he needs a lot of his weight focused forward to even have a chance. He suffers from the crappy knees that is common with this toy Seriously, you dodged a bullet with that one

With my recent BBTS Pile of Loot, I have finally updated my Wreckers!


In left-to-right they are
Topspin
Rotorstore (Custom from Tomahawk)
Broadside
Twin Twist
Grindcore
Rack 'n' Ruin (a couple gundam models joined together and painted)
Reverse Convoy (I call him Ballista)
Springer
Whirl with Headrobots upgrade set (very limited edition)
Roadbuster with NATO-bot upgrade kit
Guzzle
Sandstorm
Marinemaster (I call him Riptide)

Nice lineup!

Looks like your Springer is standing up unaided, I'm kinda jealous

So I understand. There's a reason I don't play with him all that much.

I transformed his 6 - 8 times and then left him on the shelf for months only to discover he was using Jetfire, who was behind him, for support. He is a toy you can't play with at all

And people wonder why I'm going to get rid of him as soon as TF:Generations Springer arrives.

I really should try and come up with a Mayhem Attack Squad for my Decepticons. It's going to be more difficult as many of their canon members don't have figs yet.

Same, Springer will be done justice soon enough.

I've been thinking of starting a thread about them for a couple of weeks now, but could never be bothered! Repurposed a few BW toys to help get it started.
