The Wreckers are an Autobot combat unit in the Generation One continuity family.

The Wreckers are a special task force within the Autobots, generally composed of the best and the toughest die-hard fighters around. The Wreckers tend to be a close-knit combat unit that consider themselves the best of the best. They're often called in to fight when the odds of success are slim. They are a black ops combat unit operates outside of the normal chain of commands.

Because of this, they tend to burn through their roster at a frightening rate.

Fiction[]

Marvel UK Generation One comics[]

The initial roster of the Wreckers consisted of Impactor (the leader), Roadbuster, Whirl, Twin-Twist, Topspin and Rack'n'Ruin. They were later joined by Broadside, Sandstorm and Springer (who became the team's leader after Impactor's death). Target:2006 Both Roadbuster and Whirl appear to be absent from the team later on. Distant Thunder! Roadbuster reappears amongst the Wreckers eventually, but Whirl is never seen again. Time Wars Inferno is later affiliated with the team. Firebug!

Known members:

• Wreck-Gar (leader)
• Impactor (leader; offline)
• Rack'n'Ruin (offline)
• Roadbuster
• Topspin (offline)
• Twin Twist (offline)
• Whirl
• Springer (leader after Impactor's death)

War for Cybertron[]

The Wreckers' symbol is seen on the entrance to the underground and the large building in the official game trailer.

Exodus[]

Ultra Magnus is in charge of the Wreckers. Springer is also a member.

Dark of the Moon film[]

The Wreckers are a trio of Autobot combatants that transform into NASCAR racing vehicles. They built the Xantium, the Autobot transport ship that brought the second wave of Autobots to Earth. They rarely leave the base where the Xantium is kept because "they are real assholes". They later joined the battle with the other Autobots in Chicago.

The Wreckers appear to be the Autobot counterparts to the Decepticon Dreads. Both teams have three members, but with the Dreads acting more like Autobots, having simple, unassuming vehicle modes and using stealth as opposed to force, and the Wreckers acting like Decepticons, having obvious weaponized vehicle modes and using excessive force and violence as opposed to caution.
