    Is he a Wrecker? The reason why I am asking, is because of his gutsy moves and with his attitude, he kind of reminds me of TF Prime Wheeljack. I mean his character is similar to a Wrecker. He did took his helmet off and paid respect to Leadfoot after learning about his demise

    I think he could be actually. Adding on the fact that he took off his helmet as a respect to the end of Leadfoot........

    What constitutes as a Wrecker in the first place?

    Since it seems his design was based off Bulkhead, and Bulky is a Wrecker, Hound could also be a Wrecker.

    the wreckers in this movie seem to be the same as every autobot imo... gun-car mode, brutal fighting style, tons of weapons...

    I'd definitely say he was a Wrecker if he was in the Prime cartoon continuity. And his attitude seemed Wreckerish, which totally should be a real word. As far as the movieverse Wreckers though, we've had so little exposure to what makes them Wreckers, besides being jerks apparently, to know if he qualifies. I was definitely thinking along those same lines though.

    No. The Wreckers are just Roadbuster, Topspin, and Leadfoot in the Movieverse. They're not an elite shock unit like in other continuities, they're just three guys who are engineers and mess around with weapons who've given themselves the nickname.

    There are some things I want the movieverse to explore.

    The Wreckers are something I want to know more. So I wish TF5 could actually dive deeper into every robots backstory and explore the TF mythology even further.

    Leadfoot is the only Wrecker that died, Roadbuster's and Topspin's fate are unknown, I can see in TF 5, Roadbuster and Topspin returning and hopefully we get some of the IDW Wreckers crew like Springer, Kup, Perceptor, Sandstorm, Whirl, Pyro, Twin Twist and have Hound join them

    I doubt Roadbuster and Topspin are gonna return. Ratchet said in AOE, "All Autobots are being hunted."

    Maybe those two are still hiding, but I doubt it. Lockdown and Cemetery Wind has probably already found them.

    Yeah, the Wreckers would be cool to see. But I'm more concerned with other things I want to see in TF5 such as runtime and plot.
