So maybe this time around Hasbro will retool him a bit and actually give him some Junkions to command

This NEEDS to happen.

I dig Perceptor's halftrack SUV look! I want to see the robot mode now

Wreck-Gar is amazing. Looks to have a rather complex transformation too.

His left leg is his seat and rear wheel.

His right leg is the windshield and nosepiece.

His left shoulder is the front wheel, and his torso is hinged to form the gas tank and engine.

So, he unfolds like a book at the torso, things swing and spin around, all to lock in place.

So, he looks good, his transformation will be satisfying, and he's G1ish and will fit the Neo-G1 toys. (FP's offerings included)

He's a definite buy. No ifs, ands, or buts.

EDIT: Not impressed with Perceptor. I don't like his alt mode being changed (though I understand their need for updating), I didn't like the robot mode shown at the convention, and he just doesn't impress me.

This is why I went and bought the G1 Commemorative Edition from TRU. I wasn't going to, but he was only $25.00 (clearance) and aside from limited articulation, he actually looks pretty good with FP's stuff and Valkyrie. I was impressed by how he looked with them. I'll stick with the reissue. The Generations version is a pass.

Better than cold sex, I hope?

Wreck-Gar's bot mode looks very cool but I'll reserve judgment until I see the alt mode. I like Perceptor's alt mode(it's all about the front tires and rear treads) and I hope we get a better look at the bot mode soon.

The only thing about this news that I'm not so thrilled about is the very likely scenario that the final Wreck-Gar toy will have grey plastic rather than the nice metallic paint job shown on this promo photo.

So we're getting Wreck-Gar before Kup or Arcee? Or Shockwave and Blitzwing for that matter?

Still, bought on sight! Not nearly enough modern motorcycle Transformers.

Oh that is BADASS! The 'stash, the axe... dear lord Generations is made of WIN! :ic$:

The fake microscopes of the nineties are not going to impress kids nowadays... Or he could have just been a tank. At least it's a homage to how he used to be a strange combination of things.

I'll take him with a grain of salt and see if any fan companies throw their hat into the ring later on.

lol, my sentiments exactly!

Loving the look of this Wreck-Gar. It makes me feel less bad about missing out on the Animated Wreck-Gar. A must-buy for me!

Wreck-gar looks amazing. Definitely an incredible looking figure. Perceptor looks quite interesting as well. From what we've seen of the bot mode it looks pretty good, but I'd like to see better pics before I decide if I like it or not (not if I'll buy it, because I'll definitely buy it). Ever since Animated Perceptor I've liked the character a lot more.

Tue Sep 21, 2010 4:23 pm

Can't wait! Can't wait! I haven't been this pumped for a figure in a while.

I just noticed something. There's a picture of Genarations Perceptor in there as well. :shock:

That is so totally awesome it's not funny. I'm so buying two Wreck-Gars (one for display at home, the other for my desk at work) and every other repaint/remold they do of this figure into a Junkion, even if that means waiting for FP to make like 3000 copies sold in three-packs two or three years down the line.

HOLY GOD I'M NOT WORTHY TO LOOK AT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :BOOM:

As soon as I looked at it I was like "WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!? Why would some people be hating on this (if there where)?!?!?". That was the first thing that came to my mind. So was the first thing I said. :lol:
