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 receiving data access requests from high command, Fisitron filled the datalogs with mission reports, psych profiles, and more. Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 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 serve as unwitting propaganda for the Wreckers. As a result, the Wreckers become symbols for the other Autobots to believe in and not the line-crossing thugs with a death wish that they so often are.Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5

Upon Fisitron's death, the Declassifieds were released, alongside other material, in the posthumous The Complete Works of Fisitron. Zero Point

Notes

• Certain phrases in Wreckers: Declassified are repeated often enough that his fans have coined a term for them: Fisitronisms.
• "The Wreckers' Lightning Strike", "Wreckers at the Pole" and "The Wreckers' Air Attack" reference the Ladybird Books titles Autobots' Lightning Strike, Decepticons at the Pole and Galvatron's Air Attack.
• Datalog 151 refers to the Marvel UK issue number in which Death's Head leaves the Transformers universe. 113, the other number used, is the issue in which Death's Head first appears, but since 113 is a number repeated frequently in Last Stand of the Wreckers material, it's possible this is unrelated.
• 332 is, of course, the number of issues of the Marvel UK comic.
• Roadbuster wonders if he's really as one-dimensionally gung-ho as he seems in the datalogs.
