Toy Review - RtS Wreck Gar

[Stompy]

I got lucky at Highpoint Target. Was the lone Wreck Gar there.

This figure's full of win and awesome. Not sure if I'd say it's the best bike-former ever, but definitely one of the most successful updates in the 'classics' line. They have absolutely nailed the character.


The transformation's not complex but I do find it quite fiddly to get back into bike mode.

I picked him up along with Perceptor today ^_^ I was really happy with him! Will try to get a second for cheaper 8D but yeah

Still I am real happy with my purchase and look forward to a mini army Yay~!

Found it initially dificult to get the bike mode all lined up from memory - but I figured it out and now it's good fun

Can't wait to get a second to repaint and I'll then have more proper junkions - and it's great how they can be made to look different by using diferent configurations of the wheel on his left arm. Even better of course is that he can hve it as a shield all old-school style:

I like it. Bit of a sucker for Transformers with facial hair... Would've liked it if his head came out of the recess a bit more, his moustache gets hidden away. Glad to see a flexible moustache as well

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who sees the pinwheel. lol

Overall a good figure and has all that wreck-gar needs. Left leg can't straightenr completely due to the license plate, but meh. I think the automorphing on the right leg isn't that fantastic either.

Really diggin these and would actually be happy to get various recolours as well. Even garish g2-esque colours...

hmmm I cant seem to "lock' the wheel sheild into the right arm? what am I doing wrong? anybody care to explain ( and mebbe take pics) of how they do it, coz it just slips out on its own please....thanks.

There are some tabs the stick out of one side of the wheel, just near the metal pin. A straight piece on top with a small gap between the straight piece and pin. The gap clips onto the outside tab on his arm, although it's pretty loose, I find mine drops off at the drop of a hat (or shield).

Sorry, no pics, at work

yeah Ive seen that and it's the place Ive been trying to slip it into but as you said it just drops on its own /doesnt stay in place at all, and I dont wanna keep doing it coz I might break that tab (knowing how poor plastic QC these days) and ruin the figure - already I see cracks on the plastic that holds the handlebars of the bike and it's kinda alarming. Now Ive got to buy me some super glue and stick it before it finally breaks off completely. Thanks anyways Tets

Don't try to transform this figure if you're too tired, you'll consider silly things like throwing him through a wall! - Thank Anubis for the overriding of common sense.
