It's actually 3 blades stuck together. You can put two together to get a "Double-lightsaber" like blade. Have them all seperately or try to make 3 stick together for a shield/blade thing. No glue or anything. The original package only offers 2, but if you ever melt your wreckage and need to get another. He will be twice as good .

Edit: Oops I repeated myself. Hehe Oh well

This armored carrier toy as you can see from the bubble package does not look very impressive. Moreover, he did not even appear in the movie. So I initially dismissed this Wreckage figure, and do not want to get him at all.

I'm glad i started this thread, and Trelve uploaded his Wreckage picture here. The pic was truly impressive. I instantly regret why i did not get him while he was still cheap 2 months ago.

I'm also surprised why many responses here chose Wreckage as the best or one of the best movie toys.

Yesterday, i drove 200km to the major city to find Wreckage in major shopping areas (and also to do some work, hehe

). Luckily, I found one still selling at base price!

Thanks Trelve! And all you guys who enlightened me! Hehehe

(sorry for the double post. my internet connection was temporarily cut off.)

By the way, as for now, I have no plans of melting him yet, to get the extra weapon.

:BLACKEYE:

His Alt mode isn't that great (There's always moding hehe.)
Wreckage has a superb robot mode, congrats on getting him.
It's probably cheaper that you dont melt him, getting another after driving that much would really be a sore. :shock:

I was tempted to pick up Wreckage when I saw him the other day. I passed...for now at least.

Actually, Optimus Prime and Megatron! Megs is somewhat a worth buy fig, i like him :grin:

by **Raymond101** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 7:43 am

He's more worthwhile if you repaint him. Aside from that Hasbro could have done a bit better.

But I like the movie aesthetic and I like Megatron. Just a bit too bad the figures aren't more playable.

Thank you, folks. Thanks you. Thanks you. *bow*

I feel so proud and honored to have Wreckage.
I think i'm gonna cry! :sad:

I do like Wreckage a lot from all the things I saw. Its pretty much the only figure that I don't need any warm-up time when I first heard of the movie toys releases when almost all toys seem to look ugly at first. It looks great and cool, and even has a head that mimmick the original Megatron look. However, I couldn't pass the fact that he is too simple and tiny. I pretty much have my whole collection more or less in scale, especially the Movie toys. Wreckage will look really out of place among my other guys, both in terms of scale and detail. If its a Leader class, I would buy it in a heart beat, regardless he got screen time or not. Really wished he is bigger. It just look too wrong when a armored vehicle like this is not even bigger than a Camaro. Just too bad.

Wreckage does look pretty good, but -- and feel free to whap me for this! -- I'm pretty partial to the G1 redeco Jazz. That might be because he was the only movie figure that I was remotely interested in getting, but yeah. I'm not even bothered by the arms -- my only gripe is that the shape of his legs prevents him from bending his knees terribly far back. (Well, I also dislike the speck of white on mine near the Solstice logo. Curse these imperfect paint jobs! :sad:

)

I'd get another wreckage if I could. Kinda hurting on money from my TF spree these past months.

Wreckage or '08 Bumblebee. Heck.. Arcee isn't too bad either.

Actually, an armored vehicle can be the size of a humvee. Even a bit smaller. Depending on which APC model. So i'd like to have him in Voyager size instead of Leader size.

The vehicle mode is really too simple. Not impressive. That's exactly why i initially dismissed him.

But the robot mode is awesome.

Speaking of scale. Starscream and Blackout are too small for the movie toys. They should be Leader size or bigger. Real life F-22 is much bigger and longer than Prime's big rig truck.

This makes Starscream and Blackout in good scale with Wreckage.

My Ratchet (just arrived!) has a big speck of yellow paint on the inside of the door. It's so big. Like a bird crap. More than an inch long. Thick bulging paint. Makes you wonder if Hasbro understands the meaning of QC!

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

The only way Leader Prime could be better figure is if it came with free breast implants for your girlfriend and cured cancer.

Hmm, but wasn't Cybertron Prime more epic than movie Prime?

Although I guess this is just the beginning of the movie franchise, so already it is doing very well as a toy.

by **Avatar Prime** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 7:50 am

For me out of the figures i've bought from the line its a toss up between Voyager Rescue Ratchet and G1 Deco Starscream.
I had the chance to get Wreckage several times but passed him up because I was a bit turned off by the movie line to the point where I wasn't really planning to pick too many up. Wreckage is the only one out of the line I regret not getting.

Yes. For Prime.

A big NO. For Megatron.

for sale?

Blackout is an awesome toy. Especially the helicopter mode.

Is he really colored dirty on the rear area? Or did i get a dirty toy?

I'm just disappointed that his robot mode turns out too small. Without his backpack, he's just a deluxe size! His head is about the same height as Wreckage!

by **skankin_pickle80** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 12:20 pm

i'd have to go for either barricade or 08 bumblebee.

by **mudfan** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 12:45 pm

i love them all, i think hey're all great but my major favorite would have to be Ironhide; just an over all badass figure.

now if you want to know about the one i regret is FAB Brawl random impulse buy and yeah not at all happy with that one

Blackout needs to be redesigned as a Leader class! Then he can be the best movie toy
