Well, there are people who have done video reviews of the wreck-gar figure and have stated that the instructions contain nothing for any possible combination

This, combined with the lack of obvious integration ports on sky awesome, leads me to believe that hasbro screwed up.

Interesting...The only youtube video review I found for Legends Wreck-Gar was chefatron, and not to be mean, but, well, lets just say, they aren't for me. But I know the guy tries, and I see he's quite popular...

That being said, can someone point me to perhaps any other video reviews?

Oh, no doubt, I can't find any other reviews, but there are a ton of users here and elsewhere (including myself) that have groove and skylynx and no one has found a good/actual way to combine them

After the official images for Legends class Generations Combiner Wars Wreck-Gar we posted here, Hong Kong based fan Oscar Fung has shared some in-hand images of the little orange motorcycle with a mustache - and you check them out below, as we've mirrored them for your viewing convenience! What do you make of the Groove remold? Let us know in the Energon Pub.

I was never much of a fan of the Groove mold to begin with, but redoing it almost exclusively in pale orange makes it look like a blob of cheese.

We've recently had a rather excellent Wreck-Gar toy (with an extra opportunity to get it in Platinum Series). This really should have been another character. Igaunus, Roadpig, Override.... ect.

That thing should be called Wheelie. Wreck-Gar should have been a repaint/retool of deluxe Groove.

Thanks for those! The bot mode comparison pic with big Wreck Gar was awesome. It screams for a caption. "Now son, drink your milk and grow up to be big and strong, like me!" (I'm scratching my brain to come up with a good, recognizable television quote with a father and son....)

Nothing comes to mind atm, but maybe something Ward once said to the Beaver might fit.

He does look much better in that light; you can see the contrast between orange and yellow, not to mention the red paint on his front and rear sides (which I didn't even know he had before).

Orange has got to be the worst color to photograph (with white a close second).

Groove figure is not one I will like to call wreckgar as repaint

This mold should've been turned into cybertron ransack not wreckgar, really getting tired of hasbros obsession with G1 & IDW. Dont get me wrong i love G1 and think its great when they remake obscure characters like skullcruncher & whirl or update ones we havent seen in a long time but so many of these molds are being robbed of their potential because hasbro has blinders on.

I'm all for updates to non-G1 characters, but for some of those cases I feel that some of the originals are already good enough that I feel those ones don't need updating. Ransack's original toy really just needs its rear wheel pieces assembled correctly and maybe some better paint apps (or any, in regards to its key), so I feel just a reissue of the original with more paint and the wheel fixed would be satisfying enough (as I missed out on both the original Hasbro Ransack and Takara Gasket; I have the show-inaccurate Ransack GTS, though).

I really don't need a Ransack that looks more a like red Groove instead of Ransack and turns into a combiner piece the original didn't turn into.

Except groove transforms like cyb ransack, so it's more of a case of groove looking like a white re-design of cyb ransack, so an homage to him would've been nice

[Ultra Markus]

i wouldnt call this wreck-gar but i could see building a junkion army with many of this figure

That's kinda what I'm feeling. Maybe not a whole army, but he doesn't have to be Gar. Just some little Junkion pip squeak.

Edit: Might be cool to give him the Off Road mold ax.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

At least have the decency to show the combination with Sky Reign next time! Maybe it'll solve the mystery of the unused peg and hole

[Generator_G1]

^Perfect. So then... I assume since on the packaging for Legends Wreck-Gar (pictured above) states he combines with Sky Reign, then said instructions on the inside would show how? Yes?

If not, then this would be a first for Hasbro, advertising a designed combination on the package, but then not providing instructions for said combination on the instruction sheet. I mean... I know he is not officially out yet, but since a few people seem to have him already, can we not get a scan of his instruction sheet?

The actual packaging does not have the "form to combine" label on it. It looks like Amazon got the old stock photos before the change went out to retail.

Weird, I've always felt like Hasbro should do more with IDW themes and characters. H3ll it's like 5 years since LSOTW's and we still haven't got a decent Overlord...... That leader Class line should've been made for characters like him IDW Scorponok and Sixshot for that matter!

[deliciouspeter]

Weird character choice, but I like that these scale well with the cars.

[bvzxa]

Its ugly

Well it's not like Wreck-Gar needed updating either, much less as a Legends. (nor did half of the Combiner Wars line, for that matter)
Only problem with Ransack is that he needs a Crumplezone to go with!


I was actually thinking Armada Sideways as a repaint myself, especially given the silhouette around his head. He wouldn't be a headmaster, but it's not like we'd see one in Titans Returns anyways....

[jamarmiller]

Ill add this guy to my collection but as Junkion, not my wreck gar. And for that I think he is great
