    i got him yesterday along with 76 bumblebee, barricade and loc megatron.
    stryker mode- i like it. it is a good disguise for a ninja charecter, since it is so bland and just kind of there. nothing bad about it. b
    tf-good, and the automorph feels refreshing as it can be triggered in so many different ways. i like how the vehicle gun plugs into the back of the lower barrel on the belly gun. b
    bot- posable, but nothing outstanding sadly. i like how the panels arange themselves as useful armour, though his tail is annoying. his automorph is secure. b+
    overall he is worth it

    Damn you, JinSaotome, you made me get a movie figure! :cry 

    But I am pleased with my purchase as Wreckage is, hands down, a really cool little figure. The colors are offbeat and yet, violent - kind of like:

    I'm just a little white and grey Stryker vehicle...don't mind me. *whistles* WRONG, your dead meat, sonny! See this red, see this logo, I'm *evil*! :ev: 

    And it's a nice metallic red. Me like. Add to Wreckage a solid if uncomplicated transformation and you've go a great figure!

    Pros:
    -I like the red
    -Solid, uncomplicated, transformation
    -Nice head
    -Great aesthetics
    -Legs have a very strong 'Metal Gear' vibe when viewed at an angle :thumb 
    -Weapons are awesome!
    -light-piping!
    -price!
    -availability!

    Cons:
    -The downward tilt on the head
    -The color scheme isn't bad, but it doesn't jump out at you either
    -Not enough paint details! (but better than many figures in higher prices classes)
    -Kibble (it's not horrendous, just wish it didn't interfere with knee artic)
    -It's not painted by JinSaotome? :lol 

    Well he does have that Megatron-like vibe going for him. There's always a chance for a non-G1 repaint. Dinobot seems to be a favorite, and JinSaotome's customs demonstrate that this thing can look monster if painted right! :) 

    Like what?

    why does everyone seem to have exceedingly tight shoulders? i can move the arms to the wazoo and the automorph will only start to be triggered if the wite panel on the shoulder actually forces it to

    they should have used this mold for megatron, its good, and it does remsemble him a little bit. I'm getting him and giving him a new paint job.

    Got him yesterday..

    Vehicle mode: pretty cool, love the design and colors.
    Transformation: interesting, the automorph thing works fine on mine.
    Robot mode: awesome, one of the best of movie toys. Very cool weapons.

    2007 Movie: Wreckage

    I picked this guy up the same night I bought the movie. He looks killer in both modes and is really easy to transform.
    The only think I think I would change about him is is orange/red color to maybe blue or black and leave the the rest the same.

    His weapons are two arm mounted switchblade type swords, that pop out with the press of a button and a chest cannon. The vehicle mode weapon is a small cannon.

    Wreckage also has great articulation, in fact you can pose him very well making him a great one to display.

    Even though he is not in the moive, this is one I would tell anyone to pick up.

    Click pics.

    Wreckage

    What a disapointment he was :( 

    I had seen pictures of him and thought he was a great looking bot.......in fact he was #2 on my list of movie deluxes to get right behind Stockade. So when my gf bought it for me I was exstatic.

    Boy was I ever disapointed. Unless I have a defective toy or didn't transform him properly in the head upper torso area.

    anyways....to review

    alt mode:

    pretty solid alt mode. I mean theres not much to say. It looks cool it rolls pretty good and its a winter camo theme which has always been my favourite camo gear.

    transformation:

    its pretty simple. a few steps. click click click and its done......unless i missed something in the head upper torso area.

    bot mode: he looks wicked. i cant take away that fact from him. he looks kick ass and is probably one of the better looking ones. But his head...what is up with that? Im not talking about his head sculpt. I think it looks pretty cool. But it just seems flimsy in that area. The neck plate doest seem to lock in place or something? like if i lightly press on the head it just folds back into his chest. am i missing something here?

    anyways........all in all hes a great looking figure...he has pretty good mobility. I do like his weapons...they are neat..its just his head LOL
