Transformers Walgreens Exclusive Wreck-Gar Listing Found

With current events in the IDW universe, wouldn't it make more sense if this Wreck-Gar figure was a Titans Return figure?

We're unsure if this will be included in the final days of Titan's Return, or, more likely, somewhere in the upcoming Power of the Primes line! As always, this is a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt, but it does look quite convincing.

If Wreck-Gar is announced, you'll see it here, on Seibertron.com!

Brainstorm, Cloudraker/Wingspan, now Wreck-Gar. I've never been more excited to browse the aisles at Walgreens before.

Also - he's got to be based on Combiner Wars Groove, right?

I'm only putting out theories don't hang me yet.

That's kinda what I was hoping when I clicked this link on the news feed.

I would guess Skywarp and Thundercracker (scale be damned) to round out the limbs and hopefully Sunstorm as the Legend from the original Generations Seeker mold to finally complete the major Seekers (doesn't even have to integrate, I just want a Legends Sunstorm already).

I could see Hasbro just adding Skywarp and Thundercracker. They've also got the Legends-scaled Skywarp from Combiner Wars that could be re-done as Sunstorm. It wouldn't surprise me if two Deluxe coneheads and one Legends conehead were made as well.

That said, in addition to a Voyager Starscream + 4 Deluxe Ghost Starscream combiner, I'd love to see someone do a Voyager Starscream with Combaticon limbs..

It seems likely with Two Deluxe limbs to be revealed it could be Thundercracker & Skywarp. However...Since we got both Legends and Leader Class Thundercracker & Skywarp in CW, I would hope Hasbro would mix it up a little.

Going strictly based on toys that have not been released n the past two lines (including club and con exclusives) ...The Problem with it being Coneheads or Rainmakers is that there is only spots for two... My first instinct to fill two spots would be Apeface & Snapdragon, but I cant imagine the fan rage that would ensue after not having them as Voyagers in TR, when the gimmick was seemingly perfect for them.

Deluxe Windsweeper would be awesome, and Tailwind as a repaint of Powerglide/Viper would work for the legends class... Now just getting a unique Deluxe to fill that last spot...

Doesn't it usually mean those exclusives were made because Hasbro wasn't planning to make them themselves?

I know a lot of fans feel that way, but I'm less inclined. I'm sure Hasbro doesn't care, but I see how they included Quake in TR and avoided Needlenose/Spinister (that were Club exclusives). Good to know there are choices though, Id rather Hasbro just keep releasing new versions of characters from the original series than retreading ones already done in the last two lines, whether exclusives or not.

I think Hasbro does what is best for them. There is a precedence for producing something the club previously had exclusive: Thundercracker was almost exactly the same, and Krok was the same character only, Dreadwind same character...

Shrugs shoulders... Who knows.

I'm hoping for a new Tracks that combines with whoever Jazz will combine with. I like his gen version, but could see a new version being cool.

Well, we've already seen a T30 re-issue is gonna happen in Wave 1...

Who? I don't recall, and we're both news staffers.

Then again, I've been very forgetful as of late...

It was Hasbro who wanted Fun Pub to do Combiner Wars sets for the TFSS 4.0 and 5.0 in the first place.

I would be shocked if that were the case. I can't see them releasing a whole mold exclusively with Walgreens. Unless... They use the Hound mold? Or something? At the same time, I've never seen a Voyager Transformer at a Walgreens. Soo... Shrug

Hound has two different One-Step molds and a Power Battler mold. Those wouldn't exactly be fan favorites, but they would fit in with the typical selection at Walgreens price-wise.

Hadn't considered smaller classes. That seems more likely. I would, personally, argue that's an unintelligent move. As "exclusives" entice collectors, and I think verry few of us are interested in One-Step bots?

Plus, the listing does specify a "Deluxe Class" figure, which One-Step and Power Battler molds are not. This also precludes this "Wreck-Gar" figure from being a retool of Voyager Class Movie Hound (either of them).
