Who are The Wreckers?
Well over the last few months, there has been much talk about Apelinq, Primal Prime, Rodimus, and this new team of Wreckers in the Botcon story this summer.
But do we even know who the originals are? Well here's your chance to find out! Straight from the UK comic, find here a massive character list, scans, and descriptions of each member of the now legendary Wrecker team.
Still not enough? How about The Wreckers as the most Badass Transformers of the month of TF Multiverse!
I hope this helps prepare audiences for an obscure, but crucial part of Transformer history. Thanks to Shadowsabre2 and Shellspark for bringing these pages to my attention.

PS- Who doesn't love a Transformer with a siamese twin?

BigBadToyStore has Blast Punch Optimus Primal back in stock after being sold out for several weeks. Considering the general release of this figure is unknown, it might be wise to buy this figure while you still can. BBTS is sure to sell out of this figure quickly.

Rhino Ships Heroes DVD to Recall Victims
I have received a Heroes DVD from Rhino today in the mail. The DVD has been fixed, and does play the Rebirth Three-Parter now. Recall victims should be receiving their new DVD now, while I assume retail stores will have the correct version within weeks.

Possible upcoming sticker kits from Ravestrike
Doc Evil of the AllSpark emailed Ravestrike to see what he had in store for the future, and this is what he had to say:

I e-mailed him about the possibility of a set of black G2 Autobot symbols to use as the CR/RiD Combatron emblems and he said that they're a likely candidate. More importantly, he mentioned that he's got a conversion set in mind to turn Mach Alert into Red Alert!
