Ever wonder if he made an article on Scoop?

Wreckers: Declassified is a collection of 332 historical datalogs put together by "Fisitron" (AKA Ironfist), unauthorized chronicler of the Wreckers. After bombarding Autobot High Command with data access requests, Fisitron was able to include mission reports, psych profiles, and more in Declassified. Last Stand of the Wreckers #1

Because of Fisitron's idolisation of the Wreckers, his tendency to dramatise, and the sanitised nature of the official material (the information about Pova is a complete lie), the datalogs served as unwitting propaganda for the Wreckers. As a result, the Wreckers were viewed as symbols for the other Autobots to believe in, rather than the line-crossing thugs with a death wish that they so often are. Last Stand of the Wreckers #5

Upon Fisitron's death, the Declassifieds were re-released, alongside other material, in the posthumous The Complete Works of Fisitron. A heartfelt (and that term is used very loosely) foreword from Prowl preceded the main text. Zero Point
