Dead Men's Boots
| This is Apocrypha
The content of this page is considered to be apocrypha or pseudocanon. Fiction that is considered pseudocanon generally falls into one of two categories. It is most likely either unofficial fiction from an official creator that is so informative as to the creator's thought process and/or so influential to the fandom as to be worth documenting, or fiction that is published in such a way as to render it unofficial, such as fan works published as ancillary or bonus images/fiction with other official work. As such, new ideas and concepts introduced here may not hold true for work that is completely canonical. |

Springer puts out the call for new Wreckers recruits.
Synopsis
Springer recalls when Impactor first called him to be a Wrecker. He reflects on the irony of this being his job, now that Impactor is incarcerated on Garrus-9. The approach, he notes, is scripted. He tells both Pyro and Rotorstorm that their names are at the top of the selection list, though he is rather frank about the survival rate of Wreckers. Ironfist disputes this statistic, based on his own exhaustively researched figures. Springer notes that unlike his predecessor, he offers his recruits a choice, and sometimes they say no. However, the prospect of Kup on the team causes Guzzle to reconsider Springer's offer.

Errors
- Continuing a recurring error from the series proper, Rotorstorm's guns are colored reddish at the wrong ends.
Items of note
- This is the second time IDW authors and artists have attempted to create a Transformers: Mosaic page that fits into existing continuity. The first was Simon Furman's "Hail and Farewell". Thankfully, this effort seems to face no danger of being written out of continuity as Furman's was.
- Ironfist confirms that Rack'n'Ruin are dead.
- As well, the schematic displayed on the viewscreen behind Ironfist depicts the cerebro-centric bullet that was working its way towards his central processor at the time.
