Transformers Power of the Primes Wreck Gar In Stock at Walgreens.com

Used the store locator and found one down the street from my house. Surprisingly had the clones two pack which I’ve never seen in stores. Now PotP is officially complete for me.

Proof that Transformers and Machine Robo Mugenbine should never mix

So someone's working on a custom D-Void/Deceptigod, eh?

Sabrblade! Was it you who mentioned that Wreck-Gar's elbows are swapped from the factory?

Mine were. A minor repair, but not necessarily an easy one. Just took some slightly scary pushing and twisting to get those mushroom pegs to slide out. Not to mention correcting the position of the front fork was a bit freaky. It's turned 180 so it fits in the blister. The plastic is soft and should be handled delicately.

I bought 2 more Wreck-Gars for my brother and another friend, and their elbows are on the wrong side too. I'm guessing this is a widespread mis-assembly.

What's with all the factory errors/mis-assemblies lately?

Not I, no. Didn't know that.

When compared to Groove. They face the wrong way when forming the engine parts in motorcycle mode.

Purely esthetic, really.
Although his elbow joints were dislocating very easily, and I after I swapped them, his forearms stayed in place better and the soft ratchet was tighter.

EDIT: Also, I don't have it in front of me, but I think the picture on the back of the card show these pieces assembled correctly.

Damn, Sabrblade! If not for the articulation, I'd say that looks like something Bandai would come up with!

I got Alpha Trion, says something about -Binges every moment of Earth TV ever... (I would think that would be more of a Vector Prime thing...but hey I didn't write these)

It's Alpha Trion because the Alpha Trion cards are mostly based on his role as a historian (There are a couple exceptions; Elita's for example draws instead on his rebuilding her and Optimus' former selves into mighty warriors). And binging through the entirety of any sort of archive plays into that. The Vector Prime cards generally have more to do with Veccy's time powers.

All of the Wreck-Gar card powers can be found at the bottom of this list.

If only Fun Pub had been able to stick around long enough to use the Starscream mold again or even came up with a CW Waspinator in place of (or along side) Terrorsaur. I suppose we'll never truly be able to finish him without some expensive customizing.

Common, Hasbro, just use the damn Deluxe Starscream mold already!

That's exactly my point. One would think, in order to Binge all of TV, there would have to be some sort of time travel element involved...because obviously much of past TV was lost to time, since many things were recorded over on a daily basis in order to conserve use of magnetic tape in a pre digital age. Dr. Who fans know this pain all too well .
