    I nipped into the Belfast FP to check for this guy, and no sign unfortunately (not that I had high hopes).

    If anyone wants to hook me up with a little R 'n R drop me a message.

    They need to fix that packaging, it's "Heroic Autobots" and "Turbo-Charged Technicians."

    To me, this guy looks good enough to be promoted to a CHUG shelf with fellow Wreckers. Same goes for Clobber.

    I'm not one to complain too much about kiddie lines, but the fact they are making an effort of giving them basic articulation should be commended.

    Cyberverse has really been lacking, i think thats just the nature of a line aimed at a younger demographic when you compare it to a generations line. Some of the figures are really weak, especially in the Energon Armor line. The gimmick is cool, but look at someone like Energon Armor Optimus. Dudes smoke stacks aren't even facing the right way in vehicle mode, paired with the Energon sport bra and his weird spindly dollar store axe, its not the best bang for you buck.

    These two actually look pretty good though! The alt mode is pretty convincing, and despite the limited articulation they come out of the whole spark armor thing lookin not too shabby! But is it just me, or is the two faces thing super uncanny and a little unsettling? Getting some serious Doubleheader vibes here.

    Well, that's another Cyberverse figure on my want list. If Clobber is Lugnut's sister, then these guys look like Animated Blitzwing's estranged siblings to me.:) 


    Another reason to get them, for me. Still, I'll be looking out for a more traditional version of the Wrecker twins. (I'll be calling these guys 'Rock N Roll':D ).

    Big question: Who’s gonna cover one of the Autobot insignias on their shoulders (doesn’t matter which one) with a Wreckers one?

    Having purchased Clobber and being quite satisfied with a moderately complex transformation I'll definitely be buying this.

    Wow, I totally forgot he is even getting a toy. Well, a deluxe would be better, but given how this is the first official Rack\'N Ruin, I might get this.

    There really needs to be a Deluxe version of this figure. This is one of my son's favorite characters from the cartoon. He thought Captain Rack 'N' Ruin was hilarious.

    Sweet! The first Cyberverse Ultra Class figure that I'll actually buy! (Not the first I've ever wanted, though. For some inconceivable reason, Ultra Slipstream was on my list of future acquisitions for the longest time.)

    Agreed, Rack 'n Ruin is a figure I've hoped to see for a while, and even knowing he exists in Cyberverse is fine by me. Say what you will about the quality of a lot of the size classes, but any line that can somehow combine characters like Rack 'n Ruin, Repugnus, and Sky-Byte with decent versions of the usual G1 suspects like Hot Rod is worth commending.

    I have not been collecting Cyberverse figures, so does anyone know a decent price tag for Cyberverse Ultra Class figures?
