@D Gray yeah they could make that with the inferno mold + a giant wreck-gar head. though i can only imagine that happening with the tfcc or con exclusives.
What I like to do with Wreck-Gar’s accessories in bike mode is to plug it on his back as a saddlebag, then plug the folded axe into one of the thumbs. (Incidentally I finally found Optimal Optimus at a local toy collectors’ convention, along with an extremely reasonably priced Studio 38 Prime)
The only difference I see between Hasbro and Takara Tomy's version of Wreck-Gar is that Takara put Wreck-Gar's elbows on the correct arms, since they were on the incorrect arms on Hasbro's and they had to be switched. :D
Maaaaan, every time I watch your videos, I get a wave of nostalgia come over me. Love the channel my dude, can't wait to see the full combine mode to see what the complete group looks like.. Whatever that may be!😁 LOLZ the EXTREME CLOSE UP on the noggin!!🤣🤣
You can clip the folded weapon on the kickstand and it looks a little like an exhaust pipe. You can also add the combiner hand to the back of the motorcycle like a saddle bag.
24th it's okay also whattup Emgo I didn't think you were going to review this figure because you normally don't review repaints so yeah surprising but AWESOME at the same time👍👍👍
I like to transform him with the bike nose assembly sideways, and the front wheel twisted so it's mostly upright (75 degrees or so, there's stuff blocking it from getting to 90) behind one shoulder, to differentiate from Groove and harken back to how his animation model wears it on one arm. I worry about GPS hitting that pearlized bronze that makes so much of him, though...
As far as I’m aware, from power of the primes onwards, Hasbro and takara figures are basically identical, with the possible exception of some exclusive figures
They still have wreckgar at Walgreen since hes a Walgreens exclusive. I heard seige ratchet is going to be a Walgreens exclusive as well. I have a guy who does the toy shelf and he let's me know when it comes out
I find that the Axe from the CW First Aid mold works better with him than the axe he comes with. It looks good in bot mode, and works as a tailpipe in bike mode.
I’m rather surprised that they didn’t just do that. Yet an older weapon from years ago that doesn’t pair all too well with this incarnation of the character was chosen over that.
I read on WIkipedia that the real life reason is it's more economically sound for BOTH Hasbro and Takara Tomy to use a toy mold more then once. This knowledge has made me more forgiving to the toys that are repaints/retools of past Transformers toys. :D
@@TFfangeek you must be a young fan because I've lived long enough to see Hasbro still use molds from its cybertron days in like the first two transformer movies of course I understand they can't remake a new model but at least make improvements on old molds rather than just a repaint and naming the figure someone else
A lot more R&D went into these molds, they have to recoup the cost somehow. For what it's worth, I think the ideas for repaints are generally logical and interesting.
@@OptimusPhillip see I haven't collected any of the new transformer stuff I stopped collecting before the combiner wars started so I do agree that THESE NEW MOLDS definitely can be reused but back in like 2014 and before the old transformers being reused with restricted articulation was getting bland and a waste of money I wish I could show you a picture of some horrible repaints that were clearly only made for the purpose of making as much money as possible but these new molds look much better less bulky and less parts hanging out than previous transformers
for Takara i think the main difference - so ive been tolled / is that the paint scheme seems to be more closer to the G1 so ether a darker or lighter Paint apps difference, but nothing much - except some come are in a different packaging ( if all - im unsure ) and im sure as you know some are displayed in vehicle mode as apposed to displayed in Robot mode.
That red and white version of defensor on the box art on the side is actually power of the primes Inferno but he mostly forgotten since he’s nothing but a hotspot recolor Weird making this comment after the toy line ended
Luckily, i got 2 Wreck-gars from my local Walgreens. They were on clearance, buy one, get one. I can't see any differences. It is kind of a weird choice for a combiner.
@Dog House Walgreens Pharmacy is a chain drug store, and Hasbro expanded there exclusive Transformers toys there in 2016 by releasing Titans Return deluxe class Brainstorm as the first ever Walgreens exclusive Transformers toy. There has been a Walgreens exclusive Transformers toy every year since, Titans Return Wingspan/Cloudraker in 2017, Power of the Primes Wreck-Gar in 2018, and Siege Ratchet in 2019. Hope this helps answering your inquiry. :D
I've found the prime armor looks better in vehicle mode if you plug it in where it would be in combine mode, with the knuckles of the hand against wreck gar's toes.
This guy is actually pretty nice, other than the derpy weapon. They couldn't remold it a little to fit the figure better? Oh well. He goes good with the other Wreck-Gars I have
Another great reivew, and your sketches are funny as ever. TBH, seeing this makes me glad we're past PotP, and into Siege now. PotP was the weakest in the trilogy to me, and Siege is just such a jump up in almost every way. It wasn't bad, I was happy to get modern Dinobots. But I definitely skipped more of that line than I did the previous 2 in the trilogy.
I recently saw this for 10 bucks at a store, but i passed on it, i have the United version and i think that suits the character better. Plus i have two Junkheap's made from the same mold from Hasbro so they can ride each other…..that sounds weird.
RTS Wreck-Gar: Looks great, feels so likely to break (I've broken it at least twice...). PotP Wreck-Gar: Playable, but a LITTLE bricky and tiny headed. I'd still take PotP though. I gotta touch.
Just got mines this week..... AND I LIKES THIS BOT !!! True the head's too small but a decent retooling of the mode. Wish he was a bit taller too. Wouldn't mind Hasbro giving this guy a new mode,though. Or at least re-release the transformers universe wreck gar/ junkion line again. With a better head sculpt this time around. Both this one and the one before are ok but maybe a little more transformers the movie accurate would be nice. Still, good job Hasbro. Awesome review too, Emgo. 👋 in your emoji.....or ,or something like that.
Why didn’t hasbro show the proper way to combine the potp combiners correctly? (Examples are: Starscream combiner, Elita-1 combiner, and the Inferno combiner) Instead the instructions tell you to combine them with figures that are nowhere on the package art.
Picked this figure up right after getting more into Transformers a few months ago.... I was with my wife and her comment was "17 dollars! For a single action figure!" ...it was then that I knew...I had to never buy Transformers with my wife present again.
Idk honestly the potp version is much sleeker and less parts hanging out unlike the reveal the shield version ... I do prefer the rts paint deco but I lost his spinning wheel thing so now hes just holding a plain staff
PotP was the start of no differences between the Hasbro and Takara ones
wouldn't it be funny if there are a bunch of wreck-gar's that combine to form a Wreck-gar gestalt? All that's missing is a torso bot.
Wreck-King
Inferno would be the torso
@D Gray yeah they could make that with the inferno mold + a giant wreck-gar head. though i can only imagine that happening with the tfcc or con exclusives.
Junkyard Wrecks lol cuz uk Wrecks is like Rex and I'll be goin...
Got the combiner name; Compactor!
If Junkions learned to speak from UA-cam, they'd all be commenting,"First" or "Last time I was this early..."
Wreck-gar! Freaking awesome! "With turbo handling" 😁
"Bah weep granah weep nini bong!"

From what I heard, starting with Power of the Primes, Takara releases are identical to Hasbro
OptimusPhillip Yeah
Except for like two or three of them, their drill tank mold looks alot better
@@SuperSuperSpork Wasnt that Unite warriors?
@@Shockwave-vo5ty I thought that was just the name of their Power of the Primes, are they separate?
@@SuperSuperSpork Well it is part of the same trilogy
The only difference I see between Hasbro and Takara Tomy's version of Wreck-Gar is that Takara put Wreck-Gar's elbows on the correct arms, since they were on the incorrect arms on Hasbro's and they had to be switched. :D
TFfangeek I was going to say the same thing. I think even the shoulders being tight is the same. The ones on mine are anyway.
I have the Hasbro (American) version... and there is nothing different except the slight chrome paint up by the handlebars.

I always clip the weapon to the kickstand and it looks like an exhaust pipe.
The US Hasbro Wreck-Gar is a Walgreens pharmacy exclusive. I still see him in some of their locations.
You can clip the folded weapon on the kickstand and it looks a little like an exhaust pipe. You can also add the combiner hand to the back of the motorcycle like a saddle bag.

He was a Walgreens exclusive. I use mine as a leg on Elita-1, with Jazz as the other leg, and Moonracer and Novastar as the arms
This also reminds me where's the tailgate review?
The sixes Of the gun I don’t remember but I think he did a tailgate review some time ago
He didn't, I just checked his playlist for potp. I still wish you were right
Got a bunch of them for cheap to make the other junkions, last weekend.
I like to transform him with the bike nose assembly sideways, and the front wheel twisted so it's mostly upright (75 degrees or so, there's stuff blocking it from getting to 90) behind one shoulder, to differentiate from Groove and harken back to how his animation model wears it on one arm.

The pose at the end! EXCELLENT! Dare to be stupid....Dare to be Stupid!
I wonder if we ever get a new Sideways.
I know Emgo loves those red and black tires
As far as I’m aware, from power of the primes onwards, Hasbro and takara figures are basically identical, with the possible exception of some exclusive figures
Emgo I am surprised you didn't find one at your local Walgreens cause he was their exclusive there.
Bah weep grana weep ninny bon homies!

But can another Wreck-Gar ride this one in vehicle mode? Has that ever been accomplished in the toyline?
Great video 👍
How many times has hasbro made all of these repaints and remolds. Most of these toys are all now influenced by combiner wars

Weird making this comment after the toy line ended
Well it is a better version of the figure than the Legends sized figure of Wreck Gar. Doesn't suit him to be a tiny motorcycle
Hey! I got one before emgo! He's an awesome figure.
I really love your videos, because they are really amazing & awesome.
Alpha trion wreck gar binges every moment of earth tv ever produced
What combiner set does POTP Wreck-Gar belong to? I mean he has an arm mode and a leg mode just like the POTP Dinobots?
Luckily, i got 2 Wreck-gars from my local Walgreens. They were on clearance, buy one, get one. I can't see any differences. It is kind of a weird choice for a combiner.
😎hey Emgo316 well you do more reveiws of Tansformers Planet X ??? please
Almost got this at Walgreens today, they had 3 left but I just got siege soundwave so I passed for now
The American version is a Walgreens exclusive, right?
YES, unfortunately.
@@TFfangeek I got one a car ride away.

There he is! :D

An autobot who has moustache.
Loved this version want to get Wreck-Gar & along the skylynx box set unite warrior . Only like the ending how Wreck-Gar breaks the fourth wall
Which one do you like better Emgo? I'm on the fence and can't decide on which one to get. I can only get one.
I thought they stopped the power of the primes line last year
Oh ok
Wreck-gar riding Wreck-gar!!
Dunno if it was an exclusive....but I found one at my local Walgreens pharmacy.
TheStriderSyd the Wreck- Gar was only Exclusive to Walgreens in US
Exclusive

Am I lame for buying four of these guys with the intention to mod at least three of them into other characters to make a Junkion combiner?
Could i use him on a hasbro combiner wars/potp combiner ?
sure
Very cool
I just got this figure in today, it's not bad but the weapon seems huge for the figure.
Picked this figure up right after getting more into Transformers a few months ago.... I was with my wife and her comment was "17 dollars! For a single action figure!" ...it was then that I knew...I had to never buy Transformers with my wife present again.
Be funny to see a custom Cykill out of this
Idk honestly the potp version is much sleeker and less parts hanging out unlike the reveal the shield version ... I do prefer the rts paint deco but I lost his spinning wheel thing so now hes just holding a plain staff
I just got him yesterday.
I think that combiner is with inferno
He sounds a lot like Waspinator.
Hello fellow flomping slomblebonks
Sup do you recommend this figure
What combiner is he for
I swear I thought this video has been out for sometime now.
Fortunately I found my American version exclusive to Walgreens how stupid was that😶🤔
Thats only place he was released. I got mine on sale for 7 bucks
It was a big mistake to remold into wreck gar. They should have done chromia and add to elita 1 gestalt.

cuz I do what I want :)
No difference with the Hasbro one. My boyfriend got the Hasbro version on clearance here for about $7
I need him.
