- Pretty sturdy but horrible truck mode.
This is one of the better transformers as far as durability (there are some panels that will fall off but not many) but when you transform it into a truck it doesn't roll. the feet do not fold up high enough and drag. I wish they made these like the first generation ones though, better quality control.

- Nice and Simple
Wreckage is a non-movie transformer. He is very durable and will not break easily. There are a few confusing parts about the instructions, though. To activate his automorphing feature, the instructions say to push his gun into the red panel on its top. To not risk the gun from breaking, I recommend using your finger to do this, then push the gun down.

- One cool looking robot!
My first impression of Wreckage after having transformed him from vehicle to robot and back is a very good one! Where most of the other products in the Movie line-up seem to have some compromise or other in making a robot fit into a vehicle, Wreckage doesn't seem to have any!

The vehicle is by no means the prettiest to look at, but it does have very neat lines and folds which hold together firmly - the fact that both swords fit nicely into the rear only enhances the overall picture. It is robust, and holds up to a little bashing, which is more than can be said with some of the other figures (esp. Brawl, Bonecrusher).

What really is the trump card of this figure is the robot mode - this is one excellent sculpt that seems to effortlessly fold out into a very nicely formed robot body that is oh-so-poseable. And he has swords! Forget about the logical factors about hand-held weapons vs. blasters... they look awesome being held in both arms, and sets Wreckage a little apart from the rest.

A pity that he doesn't actually feature in the movie - this is fast becoming my favourite amongst the Movie Deluxe figures, second only to the 08 Bumblebee.

- My favorite Voyager line transformer
I pretty much bought all of the new movie line-up toys among the "voyager class" and the two big "leader class." Wreckage is so far my favorite among the voyager class transformers. Although the transformation is not too complex, the quality is among the most steady (unlike say Brawl with the super hard to lock arms, or Bumblebee with the easily jammed legs/hood, so on) and it looks good in both modes. In robot mode he's very posable, with good amount of ball joints. The downside is that in vehicle mode there's no good place to put on his weapons. And YES, THE WEAPONS. Small wimpy guns are for sissies, and Wreckage is not one of them!
