I'm i the only one seeing that the bot mode of Wreck Gar and his alt mode are NOTHING alike!!
This is not a picture of the actual figure or his alt mode.

OOOPS! sorry. i've had a couple beers and didn't read the fine print. It;s Wreck-Gar AAAANND Perceptor!

Wreck-Gar looks DEADLY!!
Perceptor........all wrong.

My hope is for Oil Slick with a Cy-Kill Walmart exclusive like Fracture.

It's funny you say Oil Slick, because immediately I thought Oil Slick, too. Makes me wonder what the second head sculpt is.

I want a hate plague version. Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?

Always wanted the original, and this one just blows that out of the water. My son has the Animated Wreck-Gar, which is one of the better toys from that line, but I'll still grab this (maybe two) and build a Junkion army. Would love a Cy-Kill repaint too. :KREMZEEK:

Generations is a big win for me so far. :APPLAUSE:

I think I just came a little.
Generations is gonna be a drain on my funds for years to come, trying to buy everything I wind up missing cuz I'm currently a broke student.

Clear red variant?

No guesses here but I'm not feeling this figure at all. I'm not keen on the quite wide spread styling especially in the Generations line. It's the shape of the thighs, beeing so rounded off and the way they connect to the hips, it mainly started withe WFC figurs. The Triangular body with the point making the groin area with the legs slapped on either side. TO me it looks like a clumsy cartoon android. I had high hopes for this figure. Oh well I'm glad in away as there is so much goodness out there, it's impossible to keep up.
Darkmount has to be the worse figure I have seen in along time, there are poorer designs, but I just think Darkmounts is patronising, it looks like somethign I would design when I was a kid. Ive never been a fan of the character, and it seems that those who were fans are happy, so I must be missing some sense of nostalgia with its design. As far as Wreck-Gar goes I just feel that the personality is there but it has a very animated vibe to it. The styling used now for generations is very Generic and the stylig doesn't come from a outcome of the transformation, it looks more fun than serious. Anyways aprt from the fact that they are really making transformers out of bikes rather well now, I hate the stylimng used nowdays. This is me saying I don't like something, I was jus pointing out downsides with the Hard Head update an MP Hot Rod [for those who think I'm just a hater]

Robot mode = AWESOME

Vechicle mode = SUCKS

Why couldnt they just stick with a damn chopper ???

I doubt they could top FansProject's Warbot Defender. Give him a try, you'll be shocked by the awesome.

I doubt they'd release another Classics/Uni Springer, there are 2 [technically] released already.
Does anyone else suspect that with pretty much unanimous fan love this'll be shortpacked? That happens far too often.

Where have you seen his alt mode? The alt mode featured on the cover belongs to Perceptor, not Wreck-Gar.

QFT! Also, I am not entirely sold on Perceptor's alt being that "buff" looking. And I still want an Animated "Science Truck" Perceptor toy...

Why do you think he's not going be a motorcycle? The alt mode hasn't been revealed, but it's pretty obvious he turns into a motorcycle.

i know Wreck-Gar is an Autobot ally or a neutral (Junkion race has no symbol) but isn't his eyes look kinda evil?

... and yes the toy is nice.

Wreck-gar really has been designed so that he can ride himself (that still sounds weird after all the jokes). There are holes in the bike seat that match the crotch. See here:

You must have been a pretty talented kid, because a lot of people like that Darkmount mold.

I really want to see his motorbike alt mode but the robot mode is PERFECT.

Great job Hasbro - what a superb line Generations is turning out to be: we already got Thrust, Dirge, 'Blurr (ok not so good but nice paint job), Drift, Red Alert and Darkmount.....

Next up: Jazz, Tracks, Grapple, Perceptor and Scourge...

AND we've still got Wreck-Gar, Thundercracker and Kup to come!!

Who's next? Can it get any better?
