Here’s another one I never had as a kid, Wreckgar – leader of the Junkbots of Junkion. He was first seen in Transformers The Movie and turns into a motorcycle. Seems like it was much more important for it to look like a motorcycle when it transformed than to look like the robot in the movie. The toy came out in 1986. By this time I wasn’t collecting Transformers. I did not really care for this character in the movie. But I picked it up a couple of years ago so I could complete the set of Generation 1 Transformers I actually wanted.
Wreckgar came out in 2010 Reveal the Shield which is far superior to the G1 release. And Target has a Exclusive version out right now Transformers Generations Platinum Edition Planet of Junk Clash that includes Hot Rod, Wreck-Gar, and Junkion Scrapheap figures which is pretty nice if you have $75 to shell out.

Never thought this was one you would pick up. This one is from the movie, at least that was first appearance. He was kind of irritating and stupid in the movie. Pretty sure I will never add this one to my collection, but the new version that came out in 2011 is not too bad. The new one makes me think of Lobo from DC Comics.
I wouldn’t have normally, but he came with Ultra Magnus so I was happy. I’m still looking to get all the Triple Changers (Blitzwing, Astrotrain, Sandstorm, Octane). I’d like to get all the vehicles.
