Ok, I'm not very familiar with the UK comics or the original adventures of the Wreckers. I first learned of this guy from ProwlPant's Custom Masters site (http://custommasters.com/) a while back. And ever since then, I've always been intrigued by this character. So when I decided to do my Wreckers, he was definitely on my list. Now since there wasn't too much reference material available aside from pics from the UK comics, which didn't really give the guy much detail, I decided to embelish...a LOT. I also got some ideas from here (http://www.freewebs.com/fourth_heir/)hope the artist didn't mind me lifting some design elements from him. The biggest change I did was to his weapons. I thought the whole hammer /anvil combo was rather ...hokey so I decided to drop the anvil and replace it with a blaster (similar to Whirl) however, I kept in some design elements of the anvil in the blaster...I thought that was a pretty neat way to sort of stay "true" to the original design.
Although it was quite tempting, I decided to stay true to his orgin and NOT give him an alternate mode. So here is the Wrecker's hand to hand specialist...with an IaconCity twist!
