    Got my shipping notice from TF-Direct for this guy this morning. Definitely wasn't expecting him this fast!

    1: Does anyone have these guys in-hand yet, and how are they scaled relative to the original DOTM Deluxes? Specifically, could I get away with using the existing Reprolabels sticker sets to modify these guys?

    2: IIRC, there was an early DOTM script out there where the Wreckers in their "stock" NASCAR modes participated in a charity race, possibly around the Mall in Washington DC? I may be tripping balls because I can't find a reference to this anywhere, but I'd SWEAR that was something that was scripted but never filmed or used.

    I've got Leadfoot and Topspin. They are slightly bigger then the deluxes, but not crazy. More of RotF Delixe size.

    Apologies for the delay (and for the poor lighting):

    Both of the Dream Factory Wreckers are deeper shades of colour than their Hasbro counterparts (Leadfoot in particular is a darker shade of red). You could try using the Reprolabels, but there may be some issues with the colours not matching and a noticeable amount of space around them. Not to mention that quite a few of the Reprolabels are accounted for in the DF decorations already.

    All sorts of fake scripts have circulated for these movies in the past, so I doubt that was ever the case, but who knows. I think the stock Impala vehicles were simply included in the toyline for licensing reasons (notice how there's one stock Impala in each size class).

    Seeing that makes me kinda regret getting DF leadfoot. I really dig my repro topspin and the DF Topsy lack of roof number kinda saddens me
    I don't expect reprolabels to fix that

    When I finally dug out my old Wreckers, I actually found myself feeling the opposite, despite my expectations. The DF Wreckers feel and look great amongst my 2007 and ROTF figures (and even alongside what few DOTM figures I have left) and I think they strike the right balance between being barely decorated and being plastered with stickers. A few more details could help, but they don't feel like blank slates like the stock Hasbro ones did.

    Seeing this thread necrotized instilled in me hope that DF's Roadbuster was ready to roll out.

    His head is perfect, his legs look a little thin, and his torso is completely wrong. I get that this transformation is really weird but couldn’t they have done a transformers prime knockout style transformation for the torso? At least it’s not hanging off his back like the dotm deluxe

    The shoulder hood bits can fold down to the chest to look more accurate, I think.

    They’re perfectly sized. MPM Barricade is too big, but that’s not news.
