    For a G1 Pretender, that is quite good. Car mode for Vroom is basic, but solid looking. Looks like a reverse Lightspeed.

    I sure would. Selling my SG Junkions was one of my biggest regrets as a collector. I sold them as part of a mass sell off because I thought I was going to become a MP only collector. What a mistake that was.

    I would LOVE if Hasbro Takara would release some of these Voyager Junkions in SG deco.

    Yes these Junkions can be either rider or bike for each other.

    But they can't ride without looking completely ridiculous at it. The bot modes are way too big for the bike. The bikes are better suited having Deluxe class figures ride them.

    And this isn't a complaint at all. It is what it is. The wreck gar mold is one of the absolute best Transformers to ever get released.

    This is a case where the inner bot is way more interesting than the shell, If they did this guy, I hope they forgo the Shell entirely.

    Is Wreck-Gar having a loose waist a universal problem, or did I just get unlucky on the QC? Asking because I'd hope Junkyard would have that fixed by the time it's released.

    Joints are all fine on mine, so definitely not a universal problem.

    I had the same issue and used floor polish to fix the joints.

    Well except the alt mode...
    Perhaps Road Pig since they're doing Road Rocket.

    Road Rocket and Road Pig were gang-molded together, so they shared base plastic colours.

    That lead to the strange result in the Robot Masters line. When Road Pig was redecoes in yellow and purple for an Armada Sideways homage, Road Rocket came along for the ride in a yellow colourscheme. They had to hide all the purple by painting over all of it in silver.

    He's not available for order anywhere outside of online stores with questionable business practices (and matching prices) yet.

    Oh. So those that have him might be as a result of this. Ok. I’ll just wait for the retail announcement
