Wreckage is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Wreckage is a powerful Mini-Con who combines with his teammates to form an even more powerful weapon: the legendary Energon Saber. He and his teammates spent years embedded in energon deposits which apparently gifted them with the ability to form a blade composed primarily of the powerful element. Like his teammates, he considers being an individual important but has a high regard for teamwork as well. Some believe this team may hold the key to the ultimate defeat of Unicron.

Fiction

[edit]

Wreckage and the other component Mini-Cons of the Energon Saber escaped an attack on Mars City by Tidal Wave and Scorponok, fleeing the station's destruction. He then accompanied Optimus Prime's team when Alpha Q sent his forces to attack Plains City. The Mini-Cons formed into the Energon Saber, allowing Kicker to beat up some Terrorcons, and was then wielded by Ironhide against Scorponok. Megatron's Sword

Wreckage was present at a briefing, during which Optimus Prime told his troops that they still had much to do, even now that the Energon Grid was in place to keep Earth safe from Decepticon attacks. Later, when Ironhide, Kicker, and Skyblast pursued Hot Shot to Mars after he left under mysterious circumstances, they brought along the Mini-cons in their Energon Saber configuration, just in case. Unfortunately, the blade proved rather ineffective against the aggressive Rodimus and his allies. Rodimus Friend or Foe?

When Alpha Q sent his Insecticons after Misha in a bit of "fun" to scare her, Kicker summoned the Energon Saber Mini-Cons to combine into their weapon form, so he could wield them and fend off the Terrorcons. Misha convinced Kicker not to react violently however, and he stayed his hand while Misha went ahead to meet with Alpha Q. Kicker’s patience soon ran out when the Insecticons wouldn't allow him passage, and he forced his way forward, only to be stopped once more by Scorponok. Kicker parried with the Energon Saber against Scorponok until Misha managed to open a conversation with Alpha Q. Each One Fights...

Much later, Wreckage and his team were seen running alongside Kicker, Ironhide, and several Omnicons, as they rushed to cut off Galvatron from a pool of super energon that was causing him to grow to enormous proportions. Scorponok blocked off their route, but thanks to Ironhide running interference, the rest of the group managed to reach the pool nonetheless. The three Mini-Cons combined into the Energon Saber to help cut the tethers of super energon connecting Galvatron to his power source. Destructive Power

Wreckage and the other Energon Saber Mini-Cons waited with Kicker Jones in the lower levels of Ocean City for the arrival of Sharkticon, who was making a rather sad attempt to silently infiltrate the city. The three Mini-Cons formed the Energon Saber, and in Kicker's hands, sent Sharkticon back into the briny deep. Perspective
