So still a little bigger than older Scout size.

As I said, I'd like to see them scaled next to something from the Classics/Generations/RtS lines, in robot mode.

Oh right, I didn't realise they were deluxes. I'm hoping you can buy them seperately, as you could buy 2 topspins and paint one blue - he seems to sresemble the old figures better.

I believe the only complete sets are SDCC Bruticus and Amazon/BBTS exclusive G2 Bruticus. All retail should be single figures!

I think the only figure I'm missing from the IDW Wreckers (AHM team, not LSTOW) is Springer.
Is that correct, or am I forgetting someone?

My lineup:

Defendor as Springer,
City Commander as Ultra Magnus,
CM's Mugen Calibur as Roadbuster,
ROTF Brawn as Guzzle (I prefer it to DOTM Guzzle)
Generations Kup, Drift, Perceptor and Blurr.

Waiting for FOC Impactor, Top Spin and Twin Twist.
Waiting for Assaulter.
For Rack 'N Ruin I'm waiting for these parts to be available:

I like the custom hailstorm to make guzzle in the thumb nail it looks mint, here's a better pic.(not the same one)

Thaat looks good.

Perhaps many are still going for the 'alive Wreckers', but Ironfist from E-Strongarm or any of his repaints is a fairly good version.

Pyro I haven't decided on yet. Classics Inferno would work with repainting and the new Hot Spot head.

I believe Mkall showed a nice customized Rotorstorm.

Actually, if there were bigger a version of Beast Machines Obsidian, he would make a good recent IDW version of Whirl.

Optibotimus compared them to FoC Jazz, and they're all a bit taller than him (Swindle is a head taller, specifically).

Yes, but I'm lazy enough not to want to compare FoC Jazz (which I do not have) to another figure from previous lines.

I'll wait for more pictures.

7:53 He's about a head-and-a-quarter shorter than RTS Jazz.
So the Combaticons are mostly right around the top of Jazz's shoulder wheels.

Ah-ha! Thanks.

You guys are creating some sweet line-ups!

In the many years and changing faces, just how many members of The Wreckers has there been so far?

That one huge list could be what changes your collection, showing a whole new love for that long fogotten deluxe from aeons ago!

robotmel wrote:In the many years and changing faces, just how many members of The Wreckers has there been so far?

Let's check shall we?

Legend:
Bold = Official Release (Hasbro or Takara)
Italic = 3rd Party Release (Fansproject, iGear, etc)
Underline = fairly acceptable stand-in
Multiple styles = multiple choices
Normal = No release thus far

Original G1 (+Regeneration) Wreckers Lineup:
Broadside
Impactor
Inferno
Rack'n'Ruin
Roadbuster
Sandstorm (yeah it's a cheesy Legends or scout repaint, but it counts to the character)
Springer
Topspin
Twin Twist
Whirl
Kup
Leadfoot (usually PCC Leadfoot is used)

Dreamwave Wreckers:
Ultra Magnus
Roadbuster
Whirl
Topspin
Twin Twist
Broadside

IDW Wreckers (note they didn't all serve at once):
Blocker
Broadside
Crest
Guzzle
Hyperion
Impactor
Ironfist
Kup
Perceptor
Pyro
Rack'n'Ruin
Roadbuster
Rotorstorm
Sandstorm
Scoop (I've seen Cybertron Landmine used)
Springer
Topspin
Twin Twist
Valve
Whirl

Aligned Wreckers:
Bulkhead
Impactor
Pyro
Roadbuster
Rotorstorm
Ruination
Seaspray
Springer
Topspin
Twin Twist

So to sum up, pretty much most of the original Wreckers exist, or will exist in one form or another, though they may not be 100% accurate to their original appearance (I'm looking at you Generations Wreckers combiner) and from most other Wreckers lineups, the majority do/will exist in toy form.

So to sum up my summing up: wreck 'n' rule!

Don't forget the Dark of the Moon Wreckers !

I didn't know what the heck a 'Wrecker' was until I saw the 3rd movie since they only existed in the comics previously (i.e. Marvel G1, not Sunbow G1).

It was the first time I'd heard the term as well. I'm now quite sorry I missed out on all the years of amazing teams. It's great how they worked the mythos of the Wreckers into Prime...but why did they have to kill off Seaspray!? D: I mean, sure, kill off Tailgate, but Seaspray is the best gurgly-voiced Autobot ever whose aquatic altmode isn't completely useless on land (here's lookin' at you Manta Ray).

What is the other choice for Impactor? Were you referring to the iGear one that was seen a while back, I thought that was canned?

Banjo-Tron wrote:What is the other choice for Impactor? Were you referring to the iGear one that was seen a while back, I thought that was canned?

Yeah, that's the one I'm referring to. My policy with 3P figs is that if there's no update for a long while, then the figure's just on the back burner. I would hope iGear releases Impactor.

Ah ok. I hope it gets released too. The FOC one is OKish, i guess, but too small and skinny for Impactor. I quite like the kit that was put out to convert that Captian America/Iron Man transformer, but it requires skill beyond my means to make!

Marvel Crossover eh!
Does anyone have pictures of said Marvel pieces being used alongside your other Neo-Wreckers? It would be great to see how they fit in/stand out!

With reference to the upgrade kit, was that a Shapeways print?

It was sold by this guy, you can see a size comparison with the Rodimus mould in the video.

You guys are generating some awesome lists for an ultimate Wreckers line-up!

After looking up the various galleries for some of the potential Wreckers mentioned, I can see where your coming from with your suggestions.

I picked myself up an Energon Strongarm after he was suggested as a stand-in for Wrecker Ironfist, and what a great little figure he is too!
I guess his scale comes in at around Scout Class so looks a little small next to the likes of Mugen Calibur Roadbuster (although Roadbuster is supposed to be a big lad)!

I will pop a couple of pictures up this evening when I get home from work.

Nice idea, did you go for the blue or yellow one? I'm wondering which one works better.

Yeah I like him, looks good! I may have to blatantly nick your idea and buy one myself. He sure has a large thingy.

Honestly, I have to disagree. That mold never did it for me. The only version I have in my collection is the Botcon '05 Fallback figure, and only because it's a Botcon fig.
