T-Wrecks
Description:
Maximal T-Wrecks (Leader Class, May 24, 2021)
Hasbro ID number: WFC-K37
TakaraTomy ID number: KD EX-12
TakaraTomy release date: March 26, 2022
Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Beast Wars, Kingdom "Maximal T-Wrecks” is a redeco of Megatron (Beast), transforming into a Jurassic Park-inspired Tyrannosaurus rex mode. T-Wrecks does not come with any fire blast effects, although others can be attached inside his dinosaur mode mouth. While he features a left hand underneath the tail weapon in robot mode, the tail weapon cannot be detached from his forearm. In a particular bit of sprue weirdness, the front half of T-Wrecks’s chest and entire upper waist are molded in dark gray plastic which has been oddly painted over in a warm metallic dark gray inside and out. While the dark gray isn’t the tan that the original toy had, it does have a brown-ish tinge to it.
Most of the beast mode shell is cast in a rubbery PVC plastic material, likely to enhance the texture of the dinosaur mode as well as assist the part-clashing transformation. The beast mode itself is well articulated, especially with thigh pieces on a slider to ensure vertical hip-movement, as well as spring-loaded pieces around his neck to prevent the sculpt from breaking up too much while posing.
You’ll just have to imagine the grimace.
T-Wrecks was clearly meant to feaure a "pretooled” alternate head when compared to Megatron, as the packaging art, box back product renders, and instructions depict an alternate robot face sculpt with exposed teeth like the original toy. However, all specimens of T-Wrecks have the "standard” Megatron face sculpt, except with extra paint running across the lips exactly where exposed teeth should have been. The alternate face sculpt definitely exists as a factory asset, as a single known specimen of Megatron with the alternate face was found at normal retail.
T-Wrecks was released as a Toyworld exclusive in Australia and New Zealand, both also being the first to receive T-Wrecks even before any official unveiling.T-Wrecks would ultimately get an official pre-order on Hasbro Pulse UK about three weeks later and finally as a Target Red Card exclusive for the USA in July of 2021. Initially set for a January 29, 2022 release by TakaraTomy, T-Wrecks was delayed to March 2022.
Due to the exclusivity of the figure, no Golden Disk destiny cards are included. This mold was also retooled into Tyrannocon Rex.
