I have a mad theory I need to play NOW just in case there's another reveal tonight. Here's the title of yesterday's set, my emphasis Legacy Wreck ‘N Rule Collection Comic Universe Impactor and Spindle Why slip that one in the title? What is each Wrecker pack is a different Universe? We know Topspin & Twintwist are Diaclone. Leadfoot is Regeneration 1 (or possibly Movie) Springer could be IDW (and the T30 Springer, not the Siege one?) Bulkhead would then actually be Bulkhead from the Prime Universe TICK! Each pack a different Universe. Leadfoot coming with the Mastadon retool makes the whole thing make more sense. Jumpstarters together and Voyagers by themselves. Judging from the Box Pyramid picture I suspect it's Voyagers the next two days with Jumpstarters Friday |

Leadfoot looks like a good one-off purchase to add to the G2 crew, but this would be one heck of an expensive subline to collect. £58 a pack?! There were three fossilizer moulds so it'd be disappointing if Wingfinger wasn't in here too, but with five sets you can imagine the next will be the jumpstarters together then the two voyagers separately.
I wonder if Springer has had remoulding too to make him fit the SS86 figures more. Pyro could be amazing if the colours are right.

I wonder if Springer has had remoulding too to make him fit the SS86 figures more. Pyro could be amazing if the colours are right. Assuming the voyagers are even a thing. I mean pretty sure Springer is. Only he and Impactor are the only quintessential Wreckers. They're the only two who are always tied to wrecker lore, somehow. Bulkhead is dodgy though. He's currently available, and I struggle to think of any way to spiff up the mold like they did Impactor. If it's bulkhead from another mold, then...why? Pyro seems massively unlikely, because the rumors specifically say Bulkhead. If it were Pyro, pretty sure it'd state Pyro. Just like the rumors didn't say Paleotrex and Ractonite, they specifically said Fossilizer Spinosaur and Mammoth. (Maybe this is wishful thinking though as I don't want Pyro to be thrown away on such a horribly mismatched mold) |

Quite agree. If it's Bulkhead I won't have to buy it!

Knowing Hasbro it would be one jumpstarter with the other one turning up randomly in Selects or BB. |

This is actually quite a nice set. Whilst I was able to resist Impactor on account of mostly already having him, this could well be different. I don't have either the Siege or ER Mirages, so Leadfoot would be my first time with this mold - and that's a very pretty deco, too. And Masterdominus... where was the designer for this guy when they shat out "Red Cog" on the way out the door? Brilliant name. And it actually looks really good. I may have to put some money down for this set. But I'll wait and see what the next few nights bring.

If this is a Wreckers collection, what's with the skeleton beasties?

If you kill something hard enough it turns into a skeleton.

Right, toy colours Springer then. Which looks really dull because it doesn't have the sticker detail of the original. I don't know what to think here. For sure, Toyhax will finish this off with the right stickers, but given he's essentially in with the SS86 movie crew in terms of display and they're so far off toy colours, is it worth the hassle? I guess he'd look good in a one on one tussle with toy colours Cyclonus. The price isn't too bad for an exclusive, but I guess there's no remoulding in this one.

The toy is so far removed from toy Springer that it just doesnt work. I was literally looking at it for minutes trying to work out what they were doing.
Suspect we'll see this one on sale. If I pick it up then it will only be out of completionism.

Yes. I was thinking that. I am betting on Toyhax saving it. You can just about get the shoulder pieces vertical, which makes it closer to the G1 toy, and the right detailing would help. I'm in if all that works and the price comes closer to a standard retail voyager.
Coo. I was worried about this line the other day; I thought I was going to ignore it totally, but then Leadfoot, a decent Springer and the possibility of Pyro made me think twice. But maybe it'll just be Leadfoot.
I still don't see how that little box is going to have both Jumpstarters in it if the other double deluxe sets are in boxes almost twice as big.

I just spotted that Autobrand- what is that? Do they all have it as a Wrecker brand?
