The name or term "Wreckloose" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Wreckloose (disambiguation).
Wreckloose is a Jungle Planet Decepticon from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Kick off your Sunday shoes.

Wreckloose sees being an enforcer of the heavy-handed rule of Scourge as the perfect excuse to have his particular brand of sadistic fun.

Life on the Jungle Planet is harsh and unforgiving, and Wreckloose makes it harsher by laying traps and snares for Autobots... or just anyone he feels like doing cruel things to. He's an expert in sneak-attacks from the underbrush, and prefers to get nice and up-close so he can see the last expression on his victims' faces.

Toys

Wreck and... lose?
  • Wreckloose (Scout-Class, 2005)
    • Accessories: Shield-weapon, Jungle Planet style Cyber Key
A mold original to the Hasbro Cybertron line, Wreckloose transforms into a mechanical reptile resembling a komodo dragon. In this mode he can wear a piece of bladed armor; inserting a Cyber Key into it swings the twin spiked blades forward. This assembly becomes a melee weapon for his robot mode that can be hand-held, but seems to function better as a bladed shield mounted on his forearm/elbow. He came with a silver-bordered Jungle Planet Cyber Key, with the Key Code "su39" tampographed on the back.
This sculpt was slightly repainted into the 2010 Transformers series Wreckloose.

Notes

  • It's possible that Wreckloose and Undermine were originally supposed to sport each other's name. An (admittedly error-ridden) early Collectors' Club announcement of American names for the Cybertron characters (which contained spellings such as "Thundercraacker" and "Cloker", and attributed the name "Leo Breaker" to Live Convoy (Cybertron Evac's Japanese Galaxy Force name) listed Dino Shout's US name as "Wreckloose"[1], and when the toys were on display at San Diego Comic-Con 2005, the info signs identified Undermine as "Wreckloose" and Wreckloose as "Undermine".[2][3] Of course, it's also possible that the names were always intended the way they ended up, and that those examples were just accidental swaps.
