looking at this video really makes me sad.. i dont have the skills or wont ever have the money for such an awesome collection of customed wreckers.. T_T

Aaah, The Wreckers!

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.

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!

Whirl, Roadbuster, Rotorstorm, Springer.

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 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

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!
