Anyone have a good Bulkhead repurpose for a Wreckers display?

AOE Hound is my favorite stand in as Bulkhead right size and weapons.

What figures did you use to make this?

Wreckers, eh?

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?

why not just use Gen Chromia, it uses a retooled version of the PRID Arcee mold

Because I already have PRID Arcee, and Gen Chromia is quite hard to get in my neck of the woods. I do need to do some mods on her though, as one of her "stirrups" broke off, and in a fit of madness I drilled a hole into her leg for her cannon to mount onto.

I love me some Wreckers! Since I'm a G1 collector, I don't have many Neo-Classics. But I do have the following figures that have been Wreckers:

Transformers Collection Perceptor
Generation One Whirl
Generation One Roadbuster
Commemorative Series Inferno
Generation One Broadside
Generation One Springer
Generation One Sandstorm
Commemorative Series Ultra Magnus
Transformers Collection Kup
Generations Arcee
Generation Two Ironfist
Generation Two Pyro
Generation One Hubcap
Generation One Guzzle
Generation One Stakeout
Transformers Collector's Club Impactor
Commemorative Series Prowl
Generation One Topspin
Generation One Twin Twist
Generation One Scoop

If I had to create a new group of Wreckers from my figures, I would add in G1 Windmill, G2 Meanstreak, and G1 Pincher.

News Credits: 4877 · Sat Nov 17, 2018 3:17 pm

T30 Springer
Legends Kup
TR Top Spin and Twin Twist
T30 Roadbuster

Those are my main crew and then it changes depending on the team I want to illustrate so I would add TR Perceptor/TR Broadside/T30 Whirl/Generations Drift/Legends Blurr as need be.

I will 100% be adding Siege Imacptor to the 5 mentionned above as my main team.

Sat Nov 17, 2018 7:27 pm

Mine are kinda clustered together on my Autobot shelf. I'll admit to not being much into TF fiction so this isn't really based on any particular lineup.

Tue Nov 20, 2018 9:29 pm

Not really "Neo-Classic," as I said earlier, but here's my Wreckers! I want to get a G1.5 Rotorstorm to complete the "Last Stand of the Wreckers" crew.

Fri Nov 23, 2018 9:16 pm

Like many of you I'm sure, I want a squadron X to go up against my wreckers :WRECKERS:

collection. TFWiki informs that a couple of them have very rare exclusive figures and I'm not up for that.

Time for a bit of head cannon; I looked at the wreckers, the main crew is voyagers, 3 of them triple changers, so I knew that was a good starting point. Then there is the jumpstarters, mine are titans return. 2 obscure* one off gimmick based robots. So I immediately thought of the duocons battletrap & flywheels, both now with desirable generations figures.

I'd pretty much left it there and bought a few more wreckers. One night I'm organising the 'cons and I put a few aside. Those figures I love, but they don't have a place; Drag strip (universe), Full tilt (TR), Quake (TR), Battletrap (popt) and Blackjack (CW). That's it I thought. Decepticons I love, great figures (IMO), but not important ones. Not leaders, or major players, combiners I have no other parts of, figures that just don't fit anywhere else. This felt like my squadron X. Now I could make a want list. I thought of Tidalwave, from the seige on cybertron box set (which I'm soon to be getting). Obscure* Voyager, triple changer, perfect. I looked up some voyagers I'd wanted but didn't really 'fit' the collection; Octane (TR), another triple changer, then Lugnut, Powerdive and Sky byte. At this point I'm a man on a mission.

That makes 5 voyagers, damn good start. Quake is a tank, Fult tilt is tank-esque (especially with his gun in the appropriate peg hole). I'd always thought it'd be good to get a little division of decepticon cybertronionish tanks together. Who do I find? Generations Darkmount, or Straxus as he should be called, and there's my leader. That concept of Straxus vs Impactor just seems so right to me. FOC Brawl looks fantastic, and makes it 4 deluxe tanks.

And lastly, I'd added drag strip and blackjack, both memebers of teams I don't have members of, and I'm probably unlikely to get. I love the look of Dead End (CW), but I'm not fussed for his brothers.

So here is it, my desired totally head-canon Squadron X

The Voyagers
Lugnut
Tidalwave
Octane
Powerdive
Sky Byte

Duocons
Flywheels
Battletrap

Tanks
Straxus
Quake
Brawl
Full-tilt

Cars
Dragstrip
Deadend
Blackjack

*I should probably add, when I say obscure, I mean obscure to me. Maybe they're key players in some fiction, but they don't stand out to me as major players

Here is my lineup. Computron is there because he needed a place, but everyone else standing there is in my Wreckers lineup!

News Credits: 2 · Thu Jan 31, 2019 11:50 am

I'm putting together my :WRECKERS:

line up. Did anyone keep to accurate :WRECKERS:

roster line ups or was there any pick and choose involved?

Example I would like to have both UM and Impactor be :WRECKERS:

in combat...do you care? :VEHI:

As long as a character showed up in at least a continuity as a Wrecker, they count to me. Magnus surely counts, and I can't see Impactor not being a Wrecker.

Makes sense to me...thanks for the POV D-Max! :VEHI:

Okay so my line up is still a work in progress but I just got my hands on MMC Roadbuster. :shock:

Great googa-mooga is he epic! He's the perfect representation of Roadbuster IMHO. Now on to finish my Wreckers roster. :VEHI:

News Credits: 1646 · Tue Jun 02, 2020 3:24 pm

While notables like Whirl, Broadside, Perceptor, and Rack n' Ruin are off elsewhere on different shelves where they are more important to me, I like the way this Wreckers shelf came out with some new additions

News Credits: 2 · Tue Dec 08, 2020 3:27 pm

I had to resurface this thread after getting another member. I got a great deal on Fansproject Broadside and I just got Mastermind Creations Guzzle. :DANCE:

When Broadside arrives I will assemble the Wrecker's crew for the first time. :VEHI:

News Credits: 2 · Thu Mar 19, 2026 11:49 am

I was surprised by the last entry in this thread! :shock:

I decided to take a roll call and I realized I have certain members and totally forgot about others, so I'll be assembling various Wrecking Crews....'nuff said! :VEHI:
