Wreck and... lose?
  • Wreckloose (Scout-Class, 2005)
  • Accessories: Shield-weapon, Jungle Planet Cyber Key
  • Cyber Key Code: su39
  • Known designers: Shogo Hasui (TakaraTomy)
Sold in the third wave of Cybertron Scout-class toys, Wreckloose transforms into a mechanical reptile resembling a komodo dragon. In this mode he can wear a piece of bladed armor; inserting a Cyber Key into it swings the twin spiked blades forward around his lizard-head. This assembly becomes a melee weapon for his robot mode that can be hand-held, but seems to function better as a bladed shield mounted on his forearm/elbow.
Wreckloose is one of several Cybertron Scout molds that were never released in the Takara Galaxy Force version of the line. Didn't even get a "USA Edition" import-release.
This sculpt was slightly repainted into the 2010 Transformers series Wreckloose.
