    Oh, WG will most likely be a motorcycle. I'd just love for him to be a garbage truck. I love seeing Animated designs translated into G1. It gives me more hope for CHUG Slipstream.

    HASBRO vs. FP....Who's Wreck-gar will reign supreme??

    If hasbro puts out a kick ass, ultimate, can't get any better Wreck-gar, that will hit FP hard.

    I doubt that will be the case and I can not wait to see FP's 3 Junkions.

    Thanx

    Wreck-gar? Sweet.

    I'm just curious about Prime and BB being deluxes. My guesses:
    - TF:p rime preview figures (or the start of the line itself)
    - WFC repaints (hopefully not the exact same re-release)
    - New G1-based mold? I feel it's really unlikely, but who knows... maybe they've finally convinced VW to let them use the bug, or at least a better likeness of it.

    With all the talk of them planning ahead for repaints now by preparing an alternate head, I sincerely hope it's a generic Junkion repaint. Or at least something with appropriate colors that can be used as such since they'll likely have to slap some name on it. OTOH, they may not want to put out a repaint that looks too similar to the first toy. The Junkion color palette is kinda limited.

    I agree with this notion of Wreck-gar. Wreck-gar as a dump truck just makes so much more sense [and it's funnier!]. Honestly, I've always thought that it is dumb that he was a motorcycle.

    I want a Sunstorm before I want to see a Slipstream, though. I wouldn't mind to have the other two Rainmakers as well.

    You get two thumbs up.

    One for using my name in a sentence and secondly for remembering stuff like this.

    That Junkion/Wreck Gar character model was really good, and I can hope it something to do with this :)

    I kinda hope WreckGar is a garbage truck too :D 

    I'll probably buy a couple AND FP's and get a nice group of Junkions going.

    Surprised that were seeing this listing before Kup or Arcee.

    And I think the idea of Prime and BB being Transformers: Prime molds sounds pretty good too.

    Hmm, wonder if these are the same molds for Prime and Bumblebee that TakaraTomy will be using for TF United in Japan.

    I wonder what Wreckgar will look like.

    a TFG Wreck-Gar eh?

    Mm...It will be interesting to see Hasbro/TakaTom up against FanProject's Collector.

    I've been waiting like forever, for a showdown between 'em two. :popcorn

    Wreck-Gar ay? Hmmmm... I've got a feeling he won't be a Junkion Motorbike (Maybe a Garbage Truck or something of that nature?) but I hope he's not some repainted HFTD figure - That would be a massive letdown...

    I love Wreck-Gar so I'd most likely get him.

    Still waiting for some Generations Beast Wars characters though... I want my show accurate Blackarachnia already...

    Personally I feel it's two different markets. Adult collectibles against a toyline for kids ages 5+. And by the time FP gets around to releasing Warbot Collector, Wreckgar won't probably be on the shelves anymore :lol 

    All of these seem to be Deluxe though.

    you have got to be kidding me,Gen Wreckgar,I hope like hell he has his trademark mustache
    and is a motorcycle again.You are the best Hasbro.

    Also who do you think Deluxe Prime and Bumblebee are?,surely not WFC.I just hope they are
    new molds.

    Eh. If it's a bike, then I'm guessing FP will probably cancel theirs. They try to do things that aren't being made.
