I felt a bit disappointed because they just didn't seem to live up to what I'd expect when I hear of an Autobot sub-group called the Wreckers. As Decepticon2020 put it I just expect something a bit more elite than robots who are way too much into NASCAR and who the film says are bungholes.

Of course the Autobots seem a little too good in battle already so perhaps a less elite Wreckers was a good thing.

 

No Springer = not true Wreckers.

 

The Wreckers Were F-ing Awesome. Why? Let Me Tell You:

Leadfoot: Voiced By John DiMaggio witha Cockney Accent and Pretty Dangerous.
Roadbuster: My Favorite Member of the Trio, with a Scottish Accent as a Nood to Scotty from Star Trek.
Topspin: Sure He Did Not talked, but he had a good color Scheme.

That's Why.

 

i loved everything about the Wreckers,except that they dont combine
i'm a fan of combiners

 

Oh.

 

*halfway through DotM*
Oh, that's right. Those NASCAR dudes are in this. Aww, they're not stereotypical NASCAR fans/rednecks...
Where the hell is Shockwave?

 

i hated racecar!!!!!!!!!!!!! why cant it be f1 race cars! in the movie! that sucks! weopinzed mode was alright! eather way i dont care!!!!! but if i had to chose my favorite weakers it will be the blue one!cause he looks cool!

 

I honestly was pulling for Redneck/Southern voices, they came out cool enough, but more could've been done, of course. I am very happy that they decided to take on Shockwave gladly, and quartering that pilot 'Con, but I wanted to see them go balls out with a LOT more brutality and camera time, I was also slightly disappointed that we didn't get to hear their battlecry, so I did it for them in the theatre.

 

How do I feel about the Wreckers?

Ironhide x3, with an extra hint of badass.

 

nope,Ironhide had more class and coolness
the Wreckers are downright crude,and I like them for it

 

With the additional of Wreckers in the show definitely make DOTM with more punch

 

Totaly agree.Wreckers were awesome

 

Probably they are there to replace Mudflap & Skids

 

Awesome.

Given the NASCAR theme of the wreckers and how Cars put Richard Petty in as a voice actor as a nod to NASCAR of the past I was expecting something a bit more Southern.

Of course you know it could have also ended up horribly because if they had hired a Southern sounding voice actor then it likely would have been Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy, and Ron White.

 

They were awesome. They need a movie to themselves. With Simmons and Wheelie and Brains. Everything about them was great, Roadbuster's accent, Leadfoots jelly-belly, Topspin's "yo dawg we hear you like guns." Their designs were great. Roadbuster is pretty much the only movie Transformer to have perfect proportions to a human. He's more standard than Optimus and Bumblebee. And those alt modes rock.

 

They were cool. Wouldn't say they were "awesome", but I didn't dislike them, they had their place in the film

 

My biggest complaint (although a minor one) is that I don't understand why they needed to have generic and stereotypical foreign accents. I guess because Scotty from Star Trek was an engineer and had a Scottish brogue then Bay felt this would resonate with people more than say, a generic NASCAR hick accent? Their foreign accents felt completely off when considering that these characters were meant as cultural cyphers for the average NASCAR red-neck. Perhaps Bay felt he'd feel the hot lashing wrath of public scorn if he decided to do another potentially racist and offensive accent- like the oft hated Twins? Anyway, I guess I'll file this topic under the 'missed opportunity' pile.

 

Honestly with their designs and look, I think they were planning on redneckish voices, but suddenly realized that after the twins were loathed by many, that stereotype characters might not be a good idea, and opted for Scottish voices instead.
