there is only one reason I would buy this figure and that is to rip off his pretty little head for a custom. Can't say I'm excited for any figures that use the Bruticus molds. Wreckers or not. As useless as it is I wish that maybe Hasbro will release more IDW themed characters. This Whirl looks too normal to be my favourite little beast

Ro-tor? Is he a Go-Bot?
Vortex redeco from Robots in Disguise.
Hence the combined form being named Ruination.
Look at the decos on all five of the Wreckers... they are almost direct 1-to-1 translations of the RiD Combaticons. Roadbuster is Rollbar, who was Green and Orange. Top Spin is Movor, who was White and Orange. Twin Twist is Armorhide, who was Teal. Only Impactor doesn't follow the pattern, being Purple and Orange instead of Mega-Octane's Green and Orange.

So let me get this straight, they took the combaticons, painted them in their RiD colors, gave them Autobot names and called their combined form it's original Decepticon name?

I hate it. The whole combining wreckers thing is dumb to me. I don't get it.

'cept for Impactor being more his own colors instead of Mega-Octane's colors. and don't forget the Emirate Xaaron head.Sinnertwin wrote:So let me get this straight, they took the combaticons, painted them in their RiD colors, gave them Autobot names and called their combined form it's original Decepticon name?
Though, if one really wanted to get technical, Twintwist isn't quite the same color that Armorhide's toy was, being a much darker blue instead of Armorhide's teal. And despite Armorhide's show color being tan instead of teal or dark blue. Oh, and Armorhide was the only one who didn't have orange on him (save for his visor) in either of his decos.

Simple, they're not official Transformers products.
If you wish to keep up with Predaking, or any other 3rd party product, here's the forum in which to do it.
Why thank you good sir

Makes me happy I already got Twin twist, Top Spin, and Whirl taken care of.

Looking at this pic (scroll half way down on link below to see a better pic
http://www.dvice.com/2013-2-11/metrople ... er-created )
I realize now this combiner in the left hand corner is the wrecker combiner, I didn't pay much attention to it earlier and missed it. Still not interested in it though.
