WRECK-GAR





This bike brings back a lot of childhood memories from the Transformers G1 cartoon movie. In vehicle mode, Wreck-Gar comes in the form of a motorsport bike.






There is a smell peg for you to flip down in order for the bike to stand. The bike handles & rear view mirrors are made of soft bendable plastic, hence do pay careful attention where or how you intend to store this toy. Just take a look at my hand brakes from the image above.



Hasbro's done a great job with the face sculpt giving Wreck-Gar the G1 look. Wreck-Gar looks like a seasoned warrior that has been through countless war cycles & lived to tell the tale.






In robot mode, don't expect the transformation to by symmetrical like most other Transformers. The wheels are actually stored on the left of Wreck-Gar to form a large shield. The exhaust pipe forms into a battle blade that can be stored at the back.

From the picture Wreck-Gar looks fairly stable, but don't be fooled. You'll have to position Wreck-Gar nicely otherwise the figure might just topple to the side.






Here are other images showing Wreck-Gar's articulation.

Overall this is a great figure to display. However the problem I always encounter is when transforming this robot back into vehicle mode. I tend to miss out on certain steps as it is a little tricky.
