    Smooth fine detail. That or smoothest are the way to go for heads. I used the white processed versatile for the neck unit.

    They might look nice and harmless...

    ...but they aren't, at least if you're a Decepticon.

    Thanks. Still deciding (all this time after release) to get one OR just buy that mania king toy, as the cost all add up and have to consider which is the better option for my chug.

    SMOOTH!

    I have two different Wrecker lines up currently...

    My G1 Wreckers
    IMG_0726.JPG
    Combiner Wars Impactor
    Thrilling 30 Springer (Siege Springer is going to go with my 86 Movie cast)
    Thrilling 30 Sandstorm
    Titans Return Broadside
    Thrilling 30 Whirl
    Thrilling 30 Roadbuster
    Titans Return Topspin
    Titans Return Twin Twist

    I plan to replace Combiner Wars Impactor when Siege Impactor comes out, just waiting for an official Rack 'n Ruin

    My Video Game (WFC/FOC) Wreckers
    IMG_0727.JPG
    Impactor
    Ironfist
    Roadbuster
    Topspin
    Twin Twist

    I'm missing Whirl since at the time I found the five pieces to Ruination I could only get four and I've yet to find one ever again

    YouTube (Custom URL):
    Who are the Wreckers of YOUR collection?

    Here's a link where I showed my pic and reference for members used. I added Wreckage and my large Guzzle custom to the group because I like them.

    I have since replaced Hubcap with Hot Soldiers H.S.16, Verity with my custom version, and Stakeout with the Siege version (I still need to make a Deluxe version).

    I’m having trouble deciding. Generations Kup or TR Kup? And no, I can’t get the Legends one after he went out of stock on BBTS. I’ve heard that TR is the better toy, But Gen looks nice. But I like the Headmaster and guns on the TR. So, what are your guys opinions?

    Legends Kup is far and away the best one, but as yous aid, that's out of the question.
    The advantage of TR Kup is that his alt mode is very G1ish and it looks "consistent" when placed next to the other TR 1986 Autobots. It's like it is part of a set.

    Generations Kup is a fantastic figure, with great engineering and a great look, but really hails from a different era of CHUG, when the focus was giving classic characters new designs/vehicle modes that echoed their original form. It's better than the TR figure, but out of place next to the other TR 1986 Autobots.

    I think it largely depends what else you have in your collection display tbh. If you don't care... then Generations Kup. If you want consistency, probably TR Kup. But really, try to find Legends Kup somehere.
