  • Salvage (Deluxe, 2008)
  • Accessories: Flatbed cover/claw
Salvage is a <A title=Redeco

href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Redeco">redeco</A> of <A title=Dropkick href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dropkick">Dropkick</A>, transforming into a customized <A class=extiw title=wikipedia:Chevrolet_Silverado href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Silverado">Chevrolet Silverado</A> pickup truck (or a similar model just different enough to avoid paying a licensing fee). His flatbed cover conceals a giant claw/plier deployed from the tailgate by a sliding knob on top. This assembly becomes a hand-held weapon for his robot mode. He also has (non-firing) twin blasters on the underside of each forearm in robot mode.

His deco and the "Sparkplug & Son Salvage" markings may be a

double <A title=Homage href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Homage">homage</A>, definitely to the red truck from <I><A class=extiw title=wikipedia:Sanford_and_Son href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanford_and_Son">Sanford and Son</A></I> and possibly to the red pickup <A title="Sparkplug Witwicky" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Sparkplug_Witwicky">Sparkplug Witwicky</A> owned in the <A title="The Transformers (Marvel Comics)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Transformers_(Marvel_Comics)">Marvel Generation 1 comics</A>. <BR clear=all> <A name=Trivia></A> <H2><SPAN class=editsection>[<A title="Edit section: Trivia" href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Salvage_%28Movie%29&action=edit&section=6">edit</A>]</SPAN> <SPAN class=mw-headline>Trivia</SPAN></H2>

  • Salvage's color scheme and those words "Sparkplug and Son Salvage" printed

on his vehicle mode are in fact inspired by the pickup truck from the television show <I><A class=extiw title=wikipedia:Sanford_and_Son href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanford_and_Son">Sanford and Son</A></I>, according to <A title=Hasbro href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hasbro">Hasbro</A> at <A title="BotCon 2008" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/BotCon_2008">BotCon 2008</A>.
