Even More Botcon Souvenir Set Hints

Wreck and Rule is the battle cry of the Wreckers. So the question is what era? Will it be Classics Wreckers, Universe Wreckers, Animooted Wreckers or Shattered Glass Wreckers?

It'll be called Time Lines like the rest of the Botcon stuff. But I think it's a safe bet it will fit nicely in the Universe line.

Here's hoping we finally get a remould of Tidal Wave into Broadside! I know for a fact were getting that Elita-1 mould from 06.

We're for sure getting that Elita-One in the Botcon set? For reals? Because I'll get the set for her. Hopefully we'll get a proper Springer figure, Impactor is a definate want, Rack and Ruin are about impossible so they're out, Topspin and Twintwist would be cool, and that leaves Sandstorm and Roadbuster. Roadbuster has a toy. Tidal Wave would make a good Broadside but is probably too big for a Botcon Set. He's better off being Energon Mirage or something along those lines.

I want the unreleased Devcon too.

Maybe Cybertron Evac repainted as Classics Whirl?

I said they should do that! Ive been thinking recently about what molds would be good for Wreckers re-paints and a gotta say while there are one or two that spring to mind im drawing a blank for most of them and while Tidal Wave would be a good fit for Broadside it seems unlikely that would use such a big figure

It does seem strange they would be making these guys now though as Springer and Roadbuster were only released a while ago
also I don't see how this relates to the 'for one young autobot' clue

one thing I do know for sure is its going to cost an arm a leg to buy a set from over here

The young Autobot will either be Classics Hot Rod repainted in a more G1 color scheme as Hot Rod from the Universe Wreckers or it will be an entirely new character joining the Wreckers for the first time. Or it will be Animooted where almost all Autobots are relatively young. In the case of Animooted I won't be buying a set. Loki haet Animooted.

They used E-megs last year and he's just as big. Besides, the Tidal Wave mould can break down into three smaller units.

Okay, now I'm thinking Animated Wreckers.

what a coincidence! I was just casting the wreckers... I picked tidal wave for broadside too (obviously), energon cliffjumper for sandstorm (same car modes), the helicopter from the bruticus set as whirl (I know, they've used it a lot but its perfect... or energon bulkhead), energon jetfire for topspin (kinda big, but the only one I thought would work) and the one I hope for the MOST..... armada/energon demolisher as twin twist!!! I can't believe they haven't done him yet! if I get a chance I'll post some digibashes I did

Hmmm... for a Wreckers set:

We won't see Springer for 2 reasons: He was just released at retail this November, and two years ago, he was featured in the Games of Deception set (as an attendee-only figure). Same with Roadbuster. Rack-n-Ruin is almost impossible to produce as a toy, so I figure he's out, as well (though I did see a clever take on him by someone who parts-swapped a pair of the cranes from the Energon Constructicons).

That leaves Impactor, Topspin, Twintwist, Whirl, Broadside, Sandstorm, and possibly Ultra Magnus. Given that the set is probably going to include Elita One and some Decepticons, I'm going to guess the following:

Impactor from Beast Machines Tankor (with resculpted head)
Twin Twist from Armada Demolisher (with resculpted missiles to look like drills)
Topspin from Cybertron Buzzsaw (with resculpted head)
Bombshell from Energon Insecticon
Battle-damaged Sunstorm from Energon Starscream

Added figures:
Whirl from Energon Bulkhead
Sandstorm from Cybertron Buzzsaw (same mold as Topspin)
Elita One from Cybertron Thunderblast
Broadside from Armada Tidal Wave (with resculpted head)

Sounds good, looking forward to seeing those

Also, Welcome to Seibertron!

Did they not use the voyger class figure?

here's twin twist for now (obviously the 'Con symbol would be changed to 'Bot)



edit: oops, kinda big here's the url: ]http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk271/superbdude1/twintwistrepaint.jpg

I'll wait to see the set, but the Wreckers tie-in doesn't really spark my interest much. I hope they can get away from some of the tired figures they keep using for repaints, too, no offense to the many ideas in this thread. Just ready for something newer, I guess...

So wait a sec who or what are the Wreckers?

Wreckers were an Elite group of Autobots led by Ultra Magnus/Impactor/Springer (I could never keep track ) Other members included

Rack n' Ruin (two headed, non-transformable)
Top Spin
Twin Twist
Whirl
Roadbuster
Sandstorm
Broadside

Impactor & RnR never received actual figures, so I'm guessing this year they will. Even if Rack AND Ruin are separate figures (Sunstreaker/Sideswipe mould)

Awsome, please tell me your going to do the rest of them

Nevermore wrote:So wait a sec who or what are the Wreckers?

The Wreckers are an elite squad of Autobots from the comics
they consist of:

Impactor- Leader, but soon dies and
Springer - becomes leader
Broadside
Sandstorm
Top Spin
Twin Twist
Roadbuster
Rack'n'Ruin
Whirl

Edit- too slow
