It's been a while since we've been back in the Legends class thread, but thanks to fellow Seibertronian ScottyP and an Amazon.com listing, we have some new images of the Generations Wreck-Gar figure, which reuses the Hasbro mold for Groove. Check it out mirrored below!

He's the Combiner Wars Groove mold, so he can turn into a chest plate for Defensor, or whoever elses' chest he fits onto.

Let me rephrase that: who is the designated combiner for Wreck-Gar? As in:
Powerglide for Superion
Blackjack for Menasor
Groove for Defensor
Viper for Galvatronus
Rodimus for Optimus Maximus
Shockwave for Bruticus
Is he for Betatron, or Sky Reign?

Based on the sticker color, Sky Reign's team. But I'm probably wrong and I haven't heard or seen him combined with him.
Maybe someone that has Sky Lynx could see of Groove will combine with him.

You are correct, he does go with Sky Reign, hasbro even showed that off in the botcon presentation. However, no one has found a way to get him to combine with sky reign. Nor has anyone found an explanation for the peg and hole on his legs.
Was he supposed to come with a weapon? Guess you could always slap him on Victorion to form an orange bra for her

A Wreck- Gar that turns into a bra. Best thing I've read today.

Bad sign, I was right about something.
Maybe he was included with Sky Reign to give him a leg that looked like a green and orange motorcycle?

Unfortunately swindle/hound probably doesn't have clearance to stuff wreck-gar into

That's pretty... sad; I'd sooner make him a bra for victorion or defensor

So he's... a thing.
What's he trying to do, pretending to be a cable antenna? Fueling his vocabulary by picking up signals by being Sky Reign's RC-remote signal?
Posted by Hellscream9999 on February 20th, 2016 @ 10:57pm CST
Doing that right now, he definitely doesn't work out with that, the back cavity isn't even shaped correctly.

It's not the clearance that's an issue, but the lack of a ridge to have Groove hang on. However, if you flip the hood down on Hound (which can't be done on Rook), you can peg his arms into Hound's shoulders. Then you have a motorcycle just hanging out clipped on at the knee.

You kinda can with Rook. Remind me late tomorrow morning and I'll post an image on how you can get Groove to hang out on Rook's combiner knee-pad.

Yeah, I know. That's what I referenced. It's very loose on Rook because Groove's hands grab a ledge under Rook's hood, rather than being turned around and pegged into Rook's shoulders without creating more problems between Rook's hood and Groove's legs.
Now, if you know of a way to put Rook's hood down like Hound's, I would be impressed. Rook/Swindle has long been my favorite mold of the line, but that would increase my esteem.

It would be rather nice if someone like Doctor Wu made a kit that added a gun to Groove or Wreck Gar that he can both hold and also turn them into a rifle mode.

To peg weapons onto him, or peg him onto larger bots. It adds some play value. That's the best I've got.

I do not own any (yet), but I was just curious.
1.-How was Wreck-Gar shown to combine with Sky Reign when he was first featured last year?
2.-Is it just that the fans cannot figure out the connection, or that the instructions (if any) do not make sense? *
*On a side note I noticed this with Onslaught. When you transform him to make the Bruticus Head & Chest the last step tells you to fold the shoulders down. But in Bruticus mode he always has his shoulders up...odd.

1. Wreck-Gar was not featured to interact with Sky Reign when he was first featured. He was just standing next to it.
2. The instructions dont show anything.
3. The instructions in Onslaught have a mistake.

Between the lankiness, the orange color scheme, and the blue chest, I'm getting a serious Rung vibe from Wreck-Gar. He just needs a different head.

Brilliant! The only way the mold was making it onto my classics/generations display. Maybe reprolabels will come out with a Rung sticker set for him.

I would love a Rung out of that. It kinda makes sense and it would be cool

We do not know how Wreck-Gar is supposed to combine with Sky Reign, we only have Hasbro's word that he is even supposed to.
The instructions for the legends toys that combine show how to configure them with their combiners, while the ones that don't simply have the reverse transformation instructions.
Posted by o.supreme on February 22nd, 2016 @ 4:08pm CST
If not, then this would be a first for Hasbro, advertising a designed combination on the package, but then not providing instructions for said combination on the instruction sheet. I mean... I know he is not officially out yet, but since a few people seem to have him already, can we not get a scan of his instruction sheet?

Well, there are people who have done video reviews of the wreck-gar figure and have stated that the instructions contain nothing for any possible combination
This, combined with the lack of obvious integration ports on sky awesome, leads me to believe that hasbro screwed up.

Interesting...The only youtube video review I found for Legends Wreck-Gar was chefatron, and not to be mean, but, well, lets just say, they aren't for me. But I know the guy tries, and I see he's quite popular...
That being said, can someone point me to perhaps any other video reviews?

Oh, no doubt, I can't find any other reviews, but there are a ton of users here and elsewhere (including myself) that have groove and skylynx and no one has found a good/actual way to combine them

We've recently had a rather excellent Wreck-Gar toy (with an extra opportunity to get it in Platinum Series). This really should have been another character. Igaunus, Roadpig, Override.... ect.
