    A good quest. To get you started the G1 UK comic Wreckers are

    Roadbuster
    Whirl
    Twin Twist
    Topspin
    Broadside
    Springer
    Sandstorm
    Inferno

    Rack'N'Ruin (no toy)
    Impactor (no toy)
    Ultra Magnus (debatable)
    Fizzle, Sizzle, and Guzzle (slightly more debatable)
    Skids, Catilla, and Carnivac (as "Survivors" could be included but weren't officially part of the team)

    Of course it doesn't matter - it's your display!

    The thing I love about teams like the Wreckers and Survivors in G1 was that they were hodge-podge mixes of characters from different sub groups thrown together, much like how we played with our toys as children!

    Paul, brother, Ultramagnus , debatable :....( .well, yeh you're right. even my internal dialogues are doing it toe-to-toe.

    what i like most about this list, is after having read the name "Inferno" at the bottom, i'm motivated to re-re-re-re-re-re-etc-reading Target 2006, 1- because i haven't read it for a couple of years and 2-beceause i didn't remember Inferno being in there and my curiosity is peaked.
    cheers Paul

    It's okay MindsetOverhaul - Inferno's not in 'Target: 2006'. He's not even a Wrecker 100 issues later (in 'Firebug' he calls Sandstorm and Broadside "you Wreckers" and is disdainful to the group and its callousness towards killing - he's just there because he's working for Emirate Xaaron.) He's also not a Wrecker in Time Wars - he's just still with Broadside and Sandstorm as "Cybertron's advanced surveillance unit". He's still not referred to as a Wrecker in the actual 'Survivors!' story, but he does take orders from Springer. In fact, I'm pretty sure that the only place Inferno is canonically referred to as a Wrecker in the UK comics is in the 'last issue' blurb of #221, one issue before the Wreckers are disbanded and become the Survivors.

    I don't recall that line. Can't remember when I last read Firebug. I've always thought of him as a Wrecker due to his presence with the others during that tale and Time Wars. I guess I should move him to the Survivors list then. I don't think he'd look out of place though among the other toys unloved by the US Comic.

    And this is a very obscure bit of trivia.
