"low on detail" = looks like something out of a 2 year old's toy chest.
i have no beef with toys that look cartoony, heck, i bought like 80% of animated - they're all stylized, exagerated, simple to transform.
heck, lugnut has bigass "bombs" which i look like they would break a wing if the plane was real. lockdown has an engine block that covers the entire front windshield. still, the alt modes are detailed and interesting. something that would appeal to an adult collector.
but wreckgar, i'm sorry, looks not only cartoony, but also too damn simple. robot mode looks ok if a bit mildly retarded, but even if i get it for free, there's no way in HELL i would ever display it in truck mode.
and yeah, i agree, this will shelfwarm 100% - since thats how it will present in the box - in truck mode. no kid 7-12 y\o would want a toy that looks like something that belongs with his 3 y\o brother's stuff.
