First Look at Transformers SS 86 Voyager Wreck Gar

I'm hoping that Wreck-Gar can do the riding himself thing, and that his wheels actually roll in bike mode. One of those is for sure happening, and the other is unlikely

I’m gonna need 5

Remember, we have a junkion redeco/retool coming. Don't remmeber how many junkions had the same facial hair.

That looks amazing. I missed getting the 3rd party Crash Hog figure and have regretted not having a more movie accurate Wreck-Gar. Now, I am hoping that they will rework the mold to make other Junkions for army building.

I'm gonna NEED two.

True, each junkion had its own unique look. I just the others for bike mode and I want 2 to customize. Something tells me those junkion retools are going to be hard to come by in multiples. Just like the Quintesson bailiff.

His hips don't lie, thats for sure

Two for me also, but I'll hope for a random Junion like Screapheap or Junkyard.

Edit: So we're getting a retool? That's nice. I won't go nuts with these, I still have my old Junkions that can be randos now.

You know, it would be hilarious if that’s the same axe accessory from the generations mold that also came with the Walgreens POTP mold.

It’s been rumored that we’ll get retools. So far most of the rumors have come true, but nothings set in stone. I’m still waiting on my sweeps!

When it comes to movie troop builders Sweeps are the best!

Followed closely by Sharkticons. I love all those rows of teeth they make in a display.

I have no real attachment to Wreckgar, but yeah he looks real good.

But man those nips. Didn't think they had it in them to make them that accurate.

"It's gotta be real cold in Junkion...."

I remember the G1 Wreck-gar figure was awful, and looked only vaguely like the movie animation model. This looks better, but I'm guessing the facial 'hair' will be rubber, and I wonder how the alt mode will look. The Reveal The Shield Deluxe Wreck-Gar was pretty darn good, except that some of the thinner parts like the bike handles were very brittle and prone to breakage. Here's hoping they make this one rock solid, and still keep the bike mode decent.

Looks really good but not a must for me with having RTS. I had the willpower to avoid POTP Wreckgar so hopefully I can reseist this one too...

Until If/when third Hasbro do a kit to make it look like the G1 toy.

So I ordered an add-on set for Grimlock...
Just over $11... Although the seller messaged me & tried to say the listing was just for the sword...
Which clearly it wasn based on the listing name & the photos.
He agreed to send the hands too & not just the sword, so that worked out.
But anyone who looks into these, be fore-warned...
I’m a little worried about what’s actually going to show up now.

Anyway, I think that Wreck-gar looks really good...
The hips are probably a bit wide, but the face-head sculpt look great...
I know the image is filtered, but the colors look good, and the overall proportions as well.
If he’s only as tall as Hot Rod I’ll be good with that.
I actually don’t want him much taller if at all.
It will be interesting to see if the wheels in cycle mode do turn/spin.
I mean they should, although if not, it’s not a deal-breaker for me.

As of right now I’m in for this guy. We’ll see about any retooled Junkions...
That/those will most likely end up on my maybe list.
I have 2 Sweeps preordered, & I think the deciding factor will be Gnaw, especially if I like him enough to get a few, then I’ll probably skip Wreck-gar’s buddy.

Wreck-Gar’s wheels are on the wrong side. Is the image flipped on the vertical axis? Otherwise, I hope the wheels are modular and can be put on either side. It looks like that may be the case, judging by the look of the ports on the legs and arms.

...okay that looks reallll good, I might have to get this now. I've always loved the Junkions as a concept, but the only figure of one I have is the PotP Wreck-Gar from Groove and I typically avoid character repeats. I guess I can just repurpose that one into some rando Junkion, though, since he just lives as Sky Reign's leg anyway. Very curious to see the bike mode.

We have a store listing for the Junkyard retool (and the Sweeps), I'd call that a bit more than a rumor.

Direct from the mouths of leakers with the figure in-hand already:
-Wreck-Gar can ride himself/Junkyard
-Comes with a gun & blast effect in addition to the axe
-Wheels partsform between modes, so can be placed in multiple spots, and may be able to roll via similar engineering to Siege Springer's rotor blade setup but this is unconfirmed (I also don't have that figure, so I can't picture fully what that means)
-Around Siege Springer's height

Some details about Junkyard were also discussed, although those sounded more like they still have time to potentially change, but it sounds like he's going to be as close to the primary picture of him on TFWiki as possible with the exception of his wheels mounting on the sides of his legs like Wreck-Gar.

been waiting for a decent wreckgar so ill be picking this up alright.

My generations Wreck-Gar broke at the handlebars so unless a figure of the lead singer of Flobots as a transformer gets released, im getting SS86 version for sure. Had no intentions of getting any retools but now I'm sorely tempted

I'm getting Wreck-Gar and at least two additional Junkions. PotP isn't bad if you excuse the tiny head needed to fit in the combiner port during combination, but this looks to have a big, glorious dome with magnificent facial hair. I also like the wheels being detachable. Yeah, definitely need a total of three of this mold, Biker Gang from the Planet Junk

I don't really have a strong opinion. Wreck-Gar was never one of my favorites, but it does look to be well designed and mostly screen accurate. The only small criticism I'd ask is, does anyone think the antenna on the back of the head are too small?




If I were a fan of the character, that wouldn't be a deal breaker, I'm just curious.

They could definitely be bigger but after the incredibly tiny PotP head this one being 95% dead-on is good enough for me. And Wreck-Gar is my favorite Transformer character from the '86 movie cast.

o.supreme wrote:The only small criticism I'd ask is, does anyone think the antenna on the back of the head are too small?

That's probably a safety/breakage thing. Make 'em too long and they could be too pokey/fragile.

Or if the head folds away into the body for transformation, it could also be a clearance thing, needing them to be short enough to fold away with enough room for the head to fit.

Indeed.
Pretty sure safety concerns, and actual space for them in bike mode, would have limited their length.

Good point, but I wonder if it would have exceeded the budget to make telescoping antenna out of "safe", but not "too bendy" plastic?

I definitely appreciate little things like that. When I compare my UW Superion with harder plastic antenna vs the CW silverbolt I use for Magnaboss (with floppy antenna that wont stay straight) . I know with brand unification, all parts are the same, but still...

This new Wreck-Gar looks fantastic, but I've never been all that attached to Wreck-Gar or any of the Junkions, so I likely won't buy it. I used to own Power of the Primes Wreck-Gar, but that was mostly to have another limb for Lynxmaster so I could display Ratchet in robot mode with other 1984 Autobots. Either way, it's good to see Wreck-Gar get an update that's not an orange repaint of Groove, and I've heard plenty of horror stories about the Generations 2011 Deluxe's quality control issues, so I'm happy for those who've been wanting a new Wreck-Gar.

I'd say they're shorter than they are in that scene, but who's to say overall?

"I'd buy THAT for a dollar!" Bzzzz "Dare to be stupid!" Bzzzz "Order yours today!" Bzzzz

Wreck-Gar looks amazing, can't wait to get him and a junkion

I’d say they are a bit short... But I’ll also say that’s not a big deal.
His facial hair is much shorter as well. Also not a big deal.

I take back what I said about his hips... According to character models, those are pretty spot-on.
The cylinder on his lower torso seems to stick out a bit far...

But again, overall this is pretty incredible looking.
One thing that's standing out to me as being really cool is just his color scheme...
I know this isn't new... Maybe it's a combination of the colors and the new sculpt.
Either way, REALLY looking forward to having him on a shelf with Hot Rod and Springer.

Sorry if this was already mentioned, but I just noticed--

Wreck-gar's wheels attach to his knees and forearms via large peg holes... Which each have a long spike protruding that ends up through the wheel.
So the shorter antennae on the head must be for transformation clearance rather than a safety issue.
Also, unless it's from the photo being filtered the spike on the left (his right knee) looks brown, not red...
Intentional part of the figure? Or editing mishap?

Greetings fellow Seibertronians!

Fellow Seibertronian Dominus Prime has alerted that youtube reviewer Ton Ton Reviews has once again managed to get their hands on an upcoming figure, this time Studio Series 86 Slag. Although the Leader class Dinobot has yet to be officially revealed by Hasbro, some early images of the figure have been circulating for a few weeks. Check out the video below!



Hoping Hasbro is going to give all the Dinobots Leader class toys? Mostly excited for the included Daniel figurine? Let us know in the comments below!

Voyager eh??? United WG has been my Neo G1 WG since day one and he will continue to be so. Since this new WG is a voyager I will have United straddle him into battle!

Hm? Oh yeah, yeah. Real excited for the Daniel mini-figure, very excited indeed. /sarc

Who all here would rather they broomed the mini-figures and gave the dinobots their "Energo" swords?

Of course I'd rather have the swords, but only Snarl had one on the show to say nothing of the movie.

or at least some cool flame effects.

I said this same thing...
At least a couple different flame (“blast”) effects could’ve been made instead of the Wheelie or Daniel figures.
Not to mention, between the 5 Dinobots (assuming they are all getting made), could’ve shared at least a few of them, even if they weren’t repainted.
Not that it costs that much, but the pegs on the Dinobots dinosaur torsos & shoulders could’ve been omitted.
The more I’ve thought about it, the more I would’ve been in favor of this option over swords...
Leave the sword game to 3P.

I hope Hastak is starting to realize that people don’t want “cute, little gimmicks” that are half-a$$ed...
We either want something done well, or something different all-together that is done well.

That's true, he was known for his flame breath. Would have probably cost Hasbro less than an extra fig and be something the fans actually would have appreciated.

Just crank out a few more of the Jefire blast effect parts, save on the tooling

Considering this will probably sell well, I doubt they'll learn anything, and Transformers has always had gimmicks *shrug*

I wouldn't really classify the minifigures as "Gimmicks", they're really just filler. Maybe if they had actual articulation or were more than an accessory for one pose they could be good. They don't even have to be able to transform, they just need to stand neutrally.

This! I wouldn't mind the little Wheelie if he wasn't stuck bow-legged like he just rode a horse for ten miles or something.

Whether someone wants to call it "filler" or a "gimmick"...
The point is it's nearly worthless.

And I guarantee these leader class Dinobots are going make Hastak money. No doubt.
But it has nothing to do with these pack-in figures.
And Hastak knows this.
No one there proposed, "Think of all the fans and collectors who have been waiting to start or add to their collection of sitting figures!!! You're welcome, fans!! You're welcome, collectors!!".
But no, they're not "learning" anything from using $2 worth of plastic to help justify a $50 price tag.

I would still pay $50 for these Dinobots... That's not the issue. But trying to justify that cost by throwing in a worthless little hunk of plastic is basically a slap in the face and a kick in the crotch...
Again, I say make it legit, or don't make it.

Wheelie and Daniel may as well not exist. I kinda get what they wanted to go for there. But. A figure like that just isn't even worth making.

I'm holding out hope that they'll do Toy versions of the Dinobots. I missed Grimlock my two chances, and Slug does not appeal to me. So I'm gamblin' big. They could use the budgets of the excluded minifigures on paint, swords, or just generally making it easier to produce. The Dinobots sell well, so doing Toy decos as Selects / exclusives isn't exactly a risk.

The only Cartoon deco that I like is Swoop, so I'll probably end up with him.

No I get it as well... They are nods to the ‘86 movie...
But honestly instead of those figures, make forearm covers for Grimlock, and fill-out Slag’s dino horns!
There probably still would’ve been enough budget after that to throw in a couple blast effects.
And if they’re not new sculpts, fine. Make them out of translucent Orange & call it good.
But yeah, those little figures are literally a waste of plastic.

I had this same thought... Toy deco’s are definitely possible...
I’ve also thought that it may be even more of a possibility that we get these new Dinobots in G2 colors.
I would think toy versions would sell better. And if they’re from Gen Selects, I wouldn’t call that a risk at all.

Gnaw is looking good
Not sure if I want him to go with my alicon or if I should save my wallet some pain and stick with alicon

Also he said it! Confirmed! Something along the lines of "gnaw didn't have the gun in the movie but we wanted to make sure he had it"

Swoop better come with 5 swords lol

I'm quite surprised at how little was actually announced here, I was hoping for a first look at Jolt and Grindor, but surely they can't be too far off seeing as they're supposedly in the same wave as the three 1986 figures. I'm definitely getting Slug, but the other two I'll more than likely skip.

Considering Swoop is rumoured to come in at the Voyager price point, be prepared to be looking at other options for the swords.

I'm also guessing with the gun thing that it was just to ensure no plastic wastage.
