Starting a Wreckers collection - but what toys, and where to find them?

As the title said, I'm starting up a Wreckers collection (I'm clearly a glutton for punishment). However, I've hit a snag with several of the Wrecker characters - I can't find toys to suit them and fulfill my toy-collecting criteria (toys must resemble the character I want them to represent and have atriculation at the shoulder, elbow, knee and waist). So I ask you, people of Seibertron, to answer this - which Wrecker should have what toy?
I'll listen to any suggestion, so long as it fits the two criteria above, and if you have better ideas than the ones I've already assigned, I'll weigh them up in comparison. If you'd like to offer a toy for buy or trade, or know where I can find one, please send me a PM! (Note: I have none of the toys listed)

Wreckers with Toys
Springer (Universe Springer)
Pyro (RID Optimus Prime)
Topspin (DOTM Topspin)
Roadbuster (DOTM Roadbuster)
Whirl (DOTM Skyhammer)
Rotorstorm (TF 2010 Tomahawk)
Perceptor (RTS Perceptor)
Inferno (Universe Inferno)
Kup (Generations Kup)

Wreckers without Toys
Guzzle
Ironfist
Impactor
Broadside

personally id go with fp defender for springer as he has incredible articulation and possibly hold out for wb-002 which could be a broadside type figure from the silhouette weve seen. theyll keep the sizes in the deluxe-ish area. good luck with the others. iirc think someone here was repurposing fp munitioner into ironfist. hope that helps a little. :D

I've been working on my Wreckers for a while now...
atm the team consist of-

FP Defender(Springer)
Universe 1.0 Whirl(also have a legends Whirl)
G1 Topspin
G1 Twintwist
Universe Roadbuster
Reissue Perceptor

and I've thrown G1 Dogfight into the mix cause I've always felt he'd make a perfect Wrecker.

Obviously I don't have the shoulder articulation stipulation. But just thought I'd contribute.
