A cardboard hammer - can Ralph resist such tat?
CAN HE HOLD OUT? WILL HE HOLD OUT?

Yes.
I don't want that fucking Bulkhead again.

You could always find someone to go 50/50 with you - they could have Bulkhead, you could have the hammer.

I don't even know where this supposedly iconic Wreckers Hammer is from. What am I missing?

That was my question too. I think it has been made up for this set.

It's from the various Wreckers insignias that have been used in recent years. They have hammers in them:   |

The blue one was an optional replacement for the Autobot logo on T30 Roadbuster & Whirl's sticker sheets. I remember at the time thinking it wasn't going to get used. He needs that big Autobot one.

I see. Well, they just look to me like something found on cheap knockoffs. The blue one also looks like Thor's thrown Mjolnir at the Last Autobot.

So Springer came in yesterday, Bulkhead and Twintwist came in today.
(Three packages from Amazon came today. They sent Bulkhead through the post, my new fan through UPS, and hand delivered Twintwist. Lot of fuel waisted when they could have just brought all of them together)
So something that does not present through photography is that the wrecker symbol tampos are metallic blue, and amazing.
I with all faction symbols were like this!
Springer is gorgeous. He looks so much better cleaned up and in his proper colors.
Bulkhead is leaps and bounds above the retail version. The green is better, the darker windows help him so much, and the camo makes him so much more visually interesting.
Twintwist I don't have much to say about. Nothing about his deco stands out beyond being better in general than his G1 deco.
If you have TR, then you know what to expect. Though my copy is showing the mold's age, with a very badly floppy left knee.

I really really wish they gave Spindle a new paddle tail and stubby legs.
Even more so than I wish they had changed Transmutate into a cryolophosaurus.

I got my impactor/spindle in today (well really yesterday, but I was at work and didn't get home until almost midnight).
Love them both, but wish Spindle followed the other fossilizers in being either being some realistic colors or gem/radioactive colors, on top of wishing she had new legs/tail.
Impactor, not much to say about him. He's great, I love him. But this is the fourth Impactor in Impactor colors from this impactor mold. Great new tooling, but there's nothing left to say.
Spindle's new tooling is great. A little bit more and it'd have been a home run.
And she has such a different profile because of her new parts, that she visually doesn't feel like the fourth use of the Paleotrex mold.
Sadly I think the mold is about done for. It has all of the degradation problems that Transmutate had, only worse.
