I got Wreckage as a gift but returned it because he wasn't in the movie. Some of the pics of him look pretty nice though. Maybe I shouldn't have. He's a shelf warmer around here so I could still get it if I change my mind.

Anyway, to answer the question, I would say Thundercracker. He looks great with both Starscreams.

Yeah, Dropkick is easily the second most detailed Deluxe, the first of course being CC BB.

He's got the shoulder tab thing going on that Deluxe Brawl does, but he's different in that they actually fit into his torso, and make for some awesome articulation.

His legs are different, sure, but I really love em that way. Really, how can you not love this?

What also impresses me about Dropkick is that he has actual ballistic weapons(the blasters on his wrists). I'm still trying to figure out why the Autobots come with guns and the Decepticons come with claws and grapples.

I like Swindle and Dreadwing. Don't have Dropkick, but that one looks pretty good. All of that is counterprodutive however, becuase I don't like Longarm and I think Arcee is one of the crappiest figures I've seen in a long time. Since I don't like those two but do like the two I mentioned, I'll probably just get flamed. Oh well.

Wreckage is pure excellence.

He is very cute! but his legs... :lol:

Wreckage is nice... Arcee is interesting... Longarm was in the movie... just not as a bot...

Dropkick is just plain butt fugly though... I can't stand the purple and silver paint scheme... Swindle is pretty fugly too...

I will agree on Dreadwing though... I bought him simply cuz his alt mode is pretty slick... the bot mode is fugly though.

Stock Wreckage... :sad:

DropKick, simply becuase of the paint job. I bought 2 of em one for the robot mode and the second for the truck mode. (I display my Transformers in their robot mode)

Thank you guys for recommending Wreckage! I had only a little bit of money when Walmart decided to restock Tramsformers after two months and it was hard to decide who to get. Because of your recommendations I got Wreckage and love the guy!

Now if only the scalpers in my area would leave me an Arcee....

I reckon Wreckage should of appeared on the highway with Bonecrusher and they both take on Optimus Prime. Rather than Barricade being there for almost no reason!

I should have bought Wreckage when I had the chance.

Though, i passed on Megatron and SS due to own's preference, i applaud for figs that were shown in vehicle mode in da movie, such as Longarm, upcoming Stockade, Incinerator, and game figs, like Swindle and Payload. Other dan dat, i'm cool. The redecos of the movie figs are a bit over-rated to me.

Transformers still rocks.

wreckage has an AMAZING bot mode, but the alt mode is quite lame IMHO. A decepticon personnel carrier? What does he do? Load up and become a gas chamber or something? Maybe he just fiddles with the air conditioning system ... which would be pretty evil in something like that. Eh, they probably aren't equipped with one anyway ... :-?

The repaint is beyond sick, whomever did that ... I'd pay some money to get mine done up just the same.

My vote goes to Dropkick. This decision based on coolness, the fact that he has a solid transformation, looks great, 9 out of 10 for me.

Arcee is a close 2nd, but not that she's almost as good as Dropkick. I'm thinking more along the lines that ... female TF's are rare, so are motorcycle TF's. She's got all of that going for her, plus ... not a bad figure either. No pun intended.
