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 is his co-writer, but will only start being credited for the script from #2 (though he did #1's Rotorstorm profile). The prolific Josh Burcham provides the colors. Incentive covers will be provided by Trevor Hutchison.
Items of Note
- In an interview, Roche said that he would be playing with the idea that the Wreckers has "an ever-changing line-up". [2]
- This series is like Christmas if you love minor characters. New Wreckers Ironfist and Pyro had not been in any previous fiction before, and Rotorstorm had only had a minor cameo; the same is true of most of the evil Predators, and Overlord's only previous English-language fiction had been cameo appearances. All of these guys had European toys in the early 90s: it's time for a new decade to get the nostalgia!
- Then add in Ultra Magnus (a Wrecker in Marvel UK), Guzzle (a frequent Marvel UK character), and the first issue cliffhanger...
- The back of the comic features character profiles, designed as entries on an internal Autobot database called "Autopedia". The entries are stubs, but you can help the Transformers' wiki by expanding them!
