Overview

Hey! You look like a mark: wanna buy some action and adventure? Sure you do, you gullible chump. And what better place to find it than in Roche & Roberts' 'Last Stand of The Wreckers'! It's about a prison that fell to the Decepticons a coupla years back, but since then something screwy has occurred, and neither side - Autobot or Decepticon - has had any communication with The Last Resort since. When the Dinobots aren't available, and when you've got a bunch of Euro-exclusive toys that aren't too busy, then it's time to send for The Wreckers!Nick Roche [1]

Creative team

The premise of the series was generated editorially. Nick Roche asked to do art for the series, only finding out later that he would also be writing the series. James Roberts will co-write the series with Roche from issue 2 onward.[2] IDW specifically chose UK-based creators who would be more familiar with the Wreckers' history.[citation needed] The prolific Josh Burcham provides the colors. Incentive covers will be provided by Trevor Hutchison.

Items of Note

  • A preview for one of the covers shows that the Wreckers will have a roster change. Kup and Perceptor are shown in the crew; so are Rotorstorm, Guzzle, Ironfist, and Pyro, all making their IDW debut! (In two cases, their only fictional debut ever...) [3] Roche has said he's playing with the idea that the Wreckers has "an ever-changing line-up", and that Twin Twist and Topspin will be in it despite being absent from the cover. [4]
