T-Wrecks
- T-Wrecks is a Maximal Dinobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Former attack specialist T-Wrecks was stationed in sector 17 of the Mirtonian constellation, but returned to Cybertron just in time to be reformatted by the Oracle, and become leader of the new Dinobots. He is a staunch defender of the Maximal cause, and his prowess on the battlefield has led his troops to nickname him "Big Rex".

The Wreckers: Finale Part 1
The group wound up back on Cybertron to help fend off a Quintesson invasion heralded by Cryotek. As T-Wrecks and his troops cleaved through innumerable Sharkticons, the Dinobot leader was shocked to witness Triceradon vanish before him in a flash of light.

Beast Wars: Uprising
One hundred years after the Vehicon Apocalypse, T-Wrecks was captain of the Rusty Mace, which came to the aid of the human ship The Problem of Infinities when they were attacked by the Shi-Lai. Afterward, the human captain Una said they owed him. T-Wrecks immediately called in the favor, since his own ship, already pretty old, had taken a pounding.
When the ship sent one of their crewmembers over to help, T-Wrecks met her on arrival, before his ship's engineer Rapticon took over. The Inexorable March

- T-Wrecks is a redeco of the Ultra-class Beast Wars Predacon Megatron. He transforms into a Tyrannosaurus rex, with a water-spraying gimmick inside his dino-mode mouth. In robot mode, his left arm has a lunging/snapping claw gimmick, plus he has a pair of hip-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers. He retains the "mutant head" gimmick as well: a pair of bat-like "wings" on his helmet that swing forward to cover his face as a "battle mask" (a feature which, unlike the original Megatron's, was actually depicted in fiction).
Notes
- Several hints in his bio suggest T-Wrecks may be the same character as the Generation 1 Dinobot Grimlock in a new body, such as being a "former attack specialist" (his Beast Wars function) and some references to Generation 2. However, he was not portrayed as such in his fictional appearances.
