Well, I don't really have that many Autobots at the moment (especially not after the Grand Clearout) but I do have a planned long-term "shopping list" for a Wreckers team. It'll be fairly small, 10 bots at maximum, and it won't be based exactly on any existing fictional version of the Wreckers, but rather it'll be an amalgamation of several versions of the team + my own additions that I think work well.
My Wreckers will probably consist of...
Gen Roadbuster (already own): He's a classic Wrecker, and a really cool toy. Granted mine doesn't have the weapons but I have him equipped with G1 Snaptrap's rifle, Alpha Bravo's machine gun and one of the small guns from my broken UW Nosecone (he won't miss it).
PRID Kup (already own): Another "canon" Wrecker, I always liked this dude. He's small but he's full of personality and he looks pretty badass. I may replace him with Legends Kup and relegate the figure to being Ironhide instead though.
RID Sideburn (already own): As my first Transformer ever, I headcanon him as being a tough, grizzled warrior, and a far cry from the reckless goof of the show. It makes sense therefore that he'd join the Wreckers. Plus he's legit one of my favourite toys ever.
2010 Seaspray: He was mentioned as a Wrecker in Prime, and the toy looks amazing. I like the idea that ol' barnacle-butt got a chassis upgrade and went from minuscule minibot to bulky bruiser. Plus, hovercraft can go over land and sea, which would make him ideal for the Wreckers.
ROTF Breacher: He can fit on Seaspray's deck, so why not?
PRID Arcee (already own) (need to give a Shapeways head to make her into Chromia): The Wreckers could do with a woman's touch, and the rough-and-tumble gun-slinging Chromia seems like the ideal candidate. Just need to replace her creepy noggin.
Fansproject "Rack and Ruin": Sure they aren't conjoined, but they look like amazing figures and I like the idea they got separated in body, but not in spark.
Cybertron Downshift: I liked the character of Prime Wheeljack, but I prefer Wheeljack to be his G1 "nutty professor" self. So Downshift is the ideal fill-in for Wheeljack. Plus, he looks awesome.
(?)Impactor: An Impactor is a goddamn necessity to a Wreckers crew IMO but I have no idea who I'd pick. MMC's offering looks great but I'm planning on getting their Turmoil, and I don't want them sharing a mold. The TFCC version is too small and the headsculpt is dreadful. The FOC version is...well, the gun's neat I guess. Unless we get an Impactor in POTP, I think it'll be a custom job. Maybe BM Tankor (the big one) as a base figure?

Example I would like to have both UM and Impactor be in combat...do you care?
