Meteor Operation on Facebook has posted an extensive gallery of the upcoming fourth wave of Generations Deluxe figures, the Wreckers! Along with Shockwave, Jazz and Optimus Prime this wave includes remolds of the Generations Fall of Cybertron Combaticons as the fan-favorite Autobot team, the Wreckers. Impactor, Roadbuster, Whirl, Topspin and Twin Twist are all shown here in robot mode, vehicle mode and in their combined form of Ruination.

These are not exclusives. They're wave 4 of the Generations Deluxe Class assortment, and since they're officially out in Hasbro's Asian markets, they can be expected to be released in the USA in the very near future.

So where and when are these expected in the US? Exclusives? (I did try to do a forum search, i promise!)

Dang it, these ;look much better than the last images. I was looking forward to saving my money on a Bruticus repaint and limb reorganization but this look great.

Chimungmung has them in stock now.

Oddly, jrxcombinetrain posted his own photos here, and so far, people have spotted two oddities compared with the Facebook gallery.
Pre-production sample stock photos and the Facebook album depict Topspin with a retooled section that now sports a 5mm peghole, and Impactor with a blue "Wreckers" logo on his chest.
jrxcombinetrain's photos depict Topspin with the same non-retooled section Blast Off had, and his Impactor has a blue regular Autobot logo.

I was only joshing really, I think they all look quite cool really, but tbh I know very little about the comics.

wow I didn't know they will have new weapons! I am in.

I think i'll be arming up some of my other figures with extra weapons, and possibily giving Swindle a large array of weapons to store.
I'm thinking about doing the same thing. It'll be easier to just have credit with BBTS and get them all at once, plus a few extra for T4T instead of trying to track them down at retail at the same time and hoping I've got the money ready for them all at once.
that would've been great… they should've even called him Rotorstorm.
Demolition Crue are fantastic toys, definitely better than these 2. But i still want this set, might rename the twins something different, and the color schemes don't bother me. I knew they wouldn't be perfect considering how they molds work, so it's cool.
opt1musaber
Not bad.

bring them on……Roadbuster and Impactor are the standouts for me…..great stuff!!

Yeah I guess that would work, but to me it's still nit-picking. What I don't understand is the people saying "Topspin is white now when he was blue before." No, he was blue-and-white before, he's blue-and-white now, and I would argue white is the dominant color for both.
Not sure why he didn't get a blue helmet though…
Anyway Hasbro probably didn't want to have the plane mode looking too discombobulated or whatever. Also I'm led to understand that sometimes when plastic's all one color on one version of the mold, sometimes it must be all one color even on a redeco.

HA! It is delicious irony indeed.
It is similar to Megatron combining with Starscream's head as the gestalt.

Am I missing something, or isn't that precisely what an accurate Topspin would look like? If you paint the Blast Off mold's arms and legs blue and the chest white, you'd get a Topspin-esque color scheme in both modes as the limbs form the back half of the plane while the chest forms the front.
Anguirus
Where have you been? People have been doing this nonstop.
Never mind that to be a "blue plane" Topspin would have to have an inaccurate white chest, and vice versa. There's no excuse for Whirl or Impactor, their individual color schemes were sacrificed to the combiner's needs. But Topspin and Twin Twist are done just as I would want. Get the chest right in bot mode first.
JetBrawn
with the reversed colors (primarily white), he looks a bit more like Astrotrain.
zebramatt
It's amazing how much better this looks to me than FOC Bruticus!
Holding out for a more GeeWun colour scheme though. (Takara?)

If this were a movie thread I bet people would be whinging how Topspin and Twintwist's colours were the other way round in G1…
Anguirus
"When we combine we form…YOU?! You wily old buzzard!"

Getting all 5, I really appreciate the effort with the homages worked onto them.
Dirge121
Urgh, I already knew I was getting Whirl and Roadbuster, but then Twin Twist looks so good.
But then if I have 3/5 I might as well get 5/5, right?
Also all those lovely new guns! Oh, and the new Gestalt head looks fantastic.
