[@shadowdramon01]

I like the idea of the Wreckers being mostly, or if possible, entirely obscure or lesser used Autobots, just for the sake of giving them something to do instead of always putting the focus on Prime and Bee.

[@thesupershinymegagengar2034]

"Wreckers don't call for backup. They call for cleanup!" Man I love that quote!

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

I absolutely fell in love with the Wreckers the first time I heard of them. The idea of a self contained Autobot suicide squad who perform tactical strikes on key Decepticon targets while breaking as much crap as possible? And have a higher success rate than any other specialist team? It's like The Expendables, except Jason Statham is a robot.

[@j-sant-animations8105]

That would make a pretty good love story about a socially akward teen and the popular girl from High School. To this day he's still akward and she's an actor. Star crossed lovers in a crowded world. Also the Wreckers appear in the background as a reference that this is a Transformers movie.

[@ReaverPrime]

I was mad salty when Prime's Wreckers team used the tagline "We don't call backup. We call for clean up". That was my unit's motto in Iraq back in 08. Still, it was awesome to hear it on TV years later.

[@ChrisMcFeely]

I'm glad I could be your guide! 😄

[@nicholasdickens2801]

Barsenthor Battlemaster I hope you’re enjoying discovering Transformers. The UK comic strips from 1984-1989 are particularly great.

[@Anton-de5vu]

I was always interested in primes version of seaspray, since there were ideas that had him survive dreadwings attack. And he was reimagined as a gruff old sailor type

[@MrDoctorVK]

I don't know has anyone realized but TF Generations from Thrilling 30 and Titans Return toyline; fans have been able to build TF IDW-verse's main Wreckers from Springer, Sandstorm, Whirl, Roadbuster, Perceptor, Topspin, Kup, Twin Twist and Broadside.

[@jpzammit5520]

and impactor is on its way :)

[@bumblebot2458]

We can only hope he's a voyager size, like Springer.

[@misterbadguy7325]

@@bumblebot2458 Gotta agree there. The FOC Onslaught version is a shrimp and CW Rook is a bit better but not worth the cost. Impactor needs to turn into something that looks like it could flat-out squish your average Transformer.

[@bumblebot2458]

Maybe not squish. He seems more like the guy with a build to punch his way through something, so a nice and bulky vehicle mode would be amazing. Either that, or pick up a MFT Springer, cause that's about a deluxe size, I believe. Or just get the MMC Impactor, cause I believe that's voyager sized.

[@bumblebot2458]

In all honesty, Roadbuster seems to fit the archetype of "squish you under my foot" better, but that's just me.

[@myriadmediamusings]

Was great to see this one be a Basics episode. Until very, very recently, I knew absolutely jack diddly about the Wreckers. The first instance I ever heard of this team was, in all things, the mobile game Transformers: Earth Wars. So I know the Wreckers mostly as consisting of Ultra Magnus, Springer, Kup and Arcee. That they're actually this recurring team throughout multiple continuities is pretty neat, and considering the Wreckers had obscure humble beginnings, it's no wonder I haven't heard of them before. And now I can understand the reasoning of the Mirage/Impactor choice in the upcoming Cybertron: Siege line. Assuming that Cybertron: Siege will get its own cartoon a la Machinima's Prime Wars, it would be neat if they actually do the story that's laid out in that fan poll description, that Mirage must convince Impactor and the Wreckers to join the Autobots.

[@nicholasdickens2801]

[@mr_quasar]

I damn love the Wreckers, Impactor especially for his constant highly dubious morality. Unlike your average Autobots, the Wreckers have so much grey in them. Their alt modes as well; comparing them to your average friendly neighborhood Autobot, they are all armed to the teeth, militaristic-ish vehicles

The Dinobots Gen 1 comic Blaster A lot of the Lost Light crew Live action Crosshairs Punch/CP Maybe wave two of W’N’R with some cool redecos of these lads?

[@miyako1909]

No, no, no and no. The Marvel Wreckers are enough. There isn't a need to put more famous bots in there. Those famous bots already got their own stories. Leave the Wreckers to the original Wreckers.

[@wolkaiserdrake9946]

it would be interesting to see a rack and ruin figure(s) they could make them turn into a crane truck, front half and back being each figure, and then allow for their arms to fold up so they can be conjoined together

Wreck 'n' Rule, Mr. McFeely! Wreck 'n' Rule! Whirl's always been one of my favourites, my cousin had the toy when we were both kids and I absolutely loved how huge and alien he looked compared to the already gangly proportioned autobot and decepticon toys of the past. I know you already got enough people requesting videos from you, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the IDW series. I mean, probably not in a single video due to just how massive and sprawling their story was, but maybe a companion piece to your own contribution to the IDW Transformers universe?

[@stuartkseels]

Love the Wreckers! I want to see them more in the live action movies!

[@twilightnite13]

I didn't know all that about the Wreckers. This is very educational stuff.

[@jayglenn837]

"You know the Wreckers don't call for backup...they call for CLEANUP!" Best Wrecker quote :) The G1 cartoon did have an homage or two to the Wreckers. "Wreck and Rule" was used a few times, which also made it the name of choice for some of the songs on the unofficial soundtrack.

[@ChrisMcFeely]

"Wreck and Rule" was never used in the cartoon. The cartoon was all but over at the time the Wreckers first appeared; only five episodes were produced after their debut in the comic.

[@Penningtontj]

That doesn't seem possible. When is "Wreck and Rule" used in the original cartoon? Also "unofficial soundtrack" doesn't really reinforce credibility. Hell, I'd say it's entirely likely that many of the people working on the cartoon probably didn't even know about the Wreckers.

[@pious83]

From the initial Wreckers roster, only Springer and Sandstorm appeared in the G1 cartoon. Even then, Sandstorm came from a different planet altogether and they didn't know each other.

[@Penningtontj]

Broadside did appear very briefly in Thief in the Night, Carnage in C Minor, Grimlock's New Brain, and The Burden Hardest to Bear (technically he appeared in The Killing Jar as a Decepticon for some reason but that wasn't actually him even if you account for animation errors). Whirl and Roadbuster were never going to appear in the cartoon due to the "Jetfire Problem" -they were not originally Takara toys, they were made by Takatoku Toys same as the Deluxe Insecticons, and Takara didn't want Hasbro advertising non-Takara products. There would have been a third Deluxe Autobot tentatively called "Landfire" but that got dropped.

[@pious83]

+Penningtontj Wow, I completely forgot about Broadside. Maybe someday he might be more memorable if they can make a decent toy out of him.

[@cobaltprime9467]

I’d like to hear more about Bulkhead. As far as I know he debuted in Animated, but idk where he came from. It seemed that series tried to homage the classics so it was always weird to me he was among them.

[@aidenfritz429]

In dark of the moon while the 3 wreckers transformed into nascar cup cars, their alternate modes are basically heavily armored.

[@KGTstudios]

I have a lot of positive things to say about the Wreckers. For one, you can’t ruin them, it seems. Every single incarnation I’ve found in this video and beyond have showed different ideas that make the team even more enjoyable. Like, how they had unruly ranks but a by-the-book commander in Dreamwave or TFP, or even having cover up stories in IDW. It consists of amazing characters, like the Jumpstarters, Bulkhead, Wheeljack (sometimes) Impactor, Springer, and do I even need to mention Whirl? Heck, I swear to Primus I found a fan story that depicted the team as a bunch of *dads* to the Rescue Bot Whirl when not on the field! Which other teams have the honor of saying that?! So, I’d it’s not clear, I like these guys. Dunno if they are gonna show up in future Transformers media, but I’ll be fanboying the second they do!

[@miyako1909]

Wheejack as a Wrecker is just plain wrong. He is a fun scientist.

[@johnpaulsoberano4728]

The Wreckers also have their combiner team known as "Ruination" as the rival of Bruticus. It is composed of Impactor, Topspin, Whirl, Roadbuster & Twintwist that transforms into military vehicles same as Bruticus.

[@TheGhostRydr]

As always the Aligned version of the Wreckers is by far my favorite.

[@transformerscollectionsand6642]

[@Pikminer-5087]

[@ironhorsehistorian9871]

Either MTMTE Whirl or TF Prime Wheeljack.

[@chucheeness7817]

What I like about IDW wreckers, is that it's the team that connects the '86 cast together, as they have worked with or have been wreckers at one point, and that's sentimentally good.

[@rodster6campingprepper]

I never liked Kup and Perceptor becoming Wreckers. What was so interesting about the Wreckers is that it used characters that were under used anywhere else. Kup and Perceptor have had plenty of attention and appearances in media so didn't need to be Wreckers too.

[@warriorpax5760]

Also, now in the Legacy toyline, there're a number of new members, including a pair of Fossilizers, each sold in separate two-packs: Mastadominous, who turns into a mastadon fossil, characterized as the Wrecker's "powerhouse," sold alongside fellow Wrecker, Leadfoot And Spindle, one of the few instances of a female Wrecker, who turns into a spinosaurus fossil, packaged with an updated version of Impactor, who's gotten a whopping four figures since Siege had first come out with his figure in that line And also, a number of the Wrecker figures bear the Wrecker's hammer insignia that the Ruination Combiner wears as you mention in this video, including both of the new Fossilizer members So yeah, there's that

[@uainjansun]

Sadly in the movieverse only topspin is alive

[@spencergellsworth]

there's a third-party Impactor-sized elephant in the room in the toy section near the end there ;) Great job. One of the most fun ones yet. Can't wait to see more diving into the comics. The Basics on Nova Prime, perhaps?

[@rodster6campingprepper]

I never liked Kup, Arcee and Perceptor being made Wreckers. To me one of the interesting things about the Wreckers was that it was made up of Autobot characters that didn't get a spotlight elsewhere like the Jumpstarters and Whirl. Even the triple changers didn't feature much in the cartoon or comics other than Springer. Characters like Kup and Perceptor don't need to also be Wreckers.

[@Tfpforever]

[@psirus1979]

I was a fan of the wreckers since the first appearance in the uk comic. Impactor was always my favourite, could be because the harpoon of a hand impressed my 7tear old self. Was shocked when they killed him off. Never realised they brought him back a few times since.

[@igterminalschannel9931]

They brought him back as a zombie with a harpoon hand in G1 City of Fear. Maybe cooler?

My personal lineup for Wreckage would be Toxitron, Whirl, Impactor, Springer, and Twin Twist

[@jamiedeering3400]

Always found it funny that the movie wreckers turned into nascars but had UK accents. Leadfoot being English, Topspin being Scottish and Roadbuster I think was Irish or Welsh.
