Presenting Wreck-Gar Deluxe Class from the Transformers Reveal the Shield line! Wreck-Gar is without a doubt one of the best Transformers in my collection - and I hope that you will see why soon enough. Though I have to admit I originally never liked Wreck-Gar, mostly because when the Transformers: The Movie was released in 1986, Wreck-Gar beat the crap out of Springer - who till today is actually my favorite Transformer - and because I found Wreck-Gar's (and the Junkion's) ability to self-repair almost immediately a form of cheating. But Wreck-Gar distinct TV lingo, charm and lines with Kup (Who can forget Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong?) earns Wreck-Gar a permanent place in Transformer lore.

This incarnation of Wreck-Gar tries to remain true to Wreck-Gar's form from the cartoon. While there are obvious differences (His right leg, and rear-tire being the biggest), the tribute to the original is there - especially Wreck-Gar's trademark smirk and goatee. Liberties were of course taken such as giving Wreck-Gar a larger axe, the gold & blue flame stripping on his chest and fuel tank. There's an attempt to transform Wreck-Gar's front-tire into a shield - just like it is in the cartoon, but Wreck-Gar loses the spikes that accompany it in the cartoon. Wreck-Gar is also much slimmer than he appears in the cartoon. Wreck-Gar's original quote was "Collect and save, Collect and save", but this incarnation of Wreck-Gar bears no such motto.
