That looks nothing like Wreckage, except for the wheel arms.

yeah... the color quite change... maybe it's a prototype design and since his not on the movie they just didnt get him the toy based design..

Wreckage is a cool figure. He is pretty much sold out everywhere I go alongside the obvious Barricade and BB.

His name was Stryker I beleive, and it is too bad he was cut. Hopefully he is in the second movie. I don't know if anyone has seen a stryker live, but I worked on them for a few months, they are pretty bad machines. Heavy duty and roll at about 75 miles per hour.

No, was just contracted with them for a few months before I went back to school, putting new armor on them, but I did get to see them on the training field, and have a couple buddies who are still working on them. Most don't have a lot of firepower, more transport vehicles, but they are still impressive in action. There are about 10 configurations at gdls.com if you click on the pic of the stryker on the main page.

Dimensions:
Length: 22,92 ft (6.95 m)
Width: 8.97 ft (2.72 m)
Height: 8.72 ft (2.64 m)
Weight: 19 tons

Here is a pic with a soldier infront of it. http://www.lakecityjournal.com/pics/stryker.jpg

We installed all the slat around the sides of them, they add about another 5 ft to the width. I guess it says that they go 62 mph, which is still pretty fast. Those army guys really drive the hell out of them. We had about three come back a couple days after installing the slat because the driver forgot that there was an extra 5 ft of width and plowed it into something. There is one with a cannon on top, which is pretty sweet.

Thanks for the Ratchet pic Softimus.

Wreckage is worth the money. He has a really nice robot mode, and his alt mode isn't too bad either. The Transformation is perfect for a deluxe, he wont cause you any trouble, but you'll still need to line up panels correctly.

And he is a NINJA!
