Distant Thunder! During his stay on Cybertron, Optimus Prime led the Wreckers on a number of fruitful raids on Decepticon fuel stores. Fortunately for the Wreckers' record, Magnus and Xaaron uncovered the truth before anyone could kill the Autobots' Greatest Leader.
Decepticons had planted misinformation that Prime was in fact a Decepticon made up to look like Prime. Later, the team and Ultra Magnus were misled into trying to kill Optimus Prime upon his return to Cybertron. Impactor named Springer his successor as he lay dying. As was Impactor's life, as one of the Decepticons, Macabre, had stayed behind to kill Emirate Xaaron, and Impactor took the 'bullet' for him. However, when Megatron called off the Decepticons' advance (truth be told, he didn't seem to know or care about it), the Wreckers' plans were also cancelled. The Autobot Triple Changers were sent in as a replacement. Without Ultra Magnus around to help, however, they would have been massacred soon after and they came close to backing out, only to decide to do their duty. The team were set to be at the business end of Operation: Volcano, killing ten of the most deadly Decepticons as they converged on a staged conference. They were later joined by Broadside, Sandstorm, and Springer (who became the team's leader after Impactor's death). In 1986, the roster of the Wreckers consisted of Impactor (the leader), Roadbuster, Whirl, Twin-Twist, Topspin, and Rack'n'Ruin. Their first mission was to assassinate Trannis himself and they succeeded (and that meant Straxus took over, whoops). The Wreckers were Emirate Xaaron's special ops squad, first being heard from during Trannis's dread advances. Never a dull moment when you're a Wrecker. They're associated with Autobots like the Deluxe Vehicles and Jumpstarters, but when times get really desperate, they'll grab anyone: newly modified Autobots, Predacons, squishy humans, and even former Decepticons or the dying. The team also often has ties to Ultra Magnus, and the Maximal future will bring leaders such as Apelinq and Primal Prime. Perhaps the most celebrated leader of the Wreckers is Springer, though the memory of his former leader, Impactor, hangs over his head.
If it's a lost cause, the Wreckers will be there, winning the day with sheer guts and determination. Despite their disregard for planning and the bodycount their team mounts, the Wreckers are amazingly successful. The Wreckers are a close-knit group that's more concerned with bursting in, guns-blazing, and doing their Thing, than they are concerned with, say, strategy. Bluntly, they tend to burn through their roster at a frightening rate. Its ranks include a veritable who's-who of the obscure mechs you've never heard much about, mostly because the Wreckers are often called in to fight when the odds of success are slim. The Wreckers are a special task force, generally composed of the best and the toughest die-hard fighters around.
