Wreckers
- The Wreckers are an Autobots combat unit in the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Wreckers are a special task force, generally composed of the best and the toughest die-hard fighters around. The Wreckers tend to be a close knit combat unit that considers themselves the best of the best. They're often called in to fight when the odds of success are slim at best.
Although the exact member list has varied between continuities, certain Transformers are fairly consistently listed as members: Springer (usually the leader), Topspin, Twin Twist, Whirl and Roadbuster among them.
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
The Wreckers were introduced in UK continuity (neither the team, nor any of its members ever appeared in the US stories) during the Target: 2006 storyline. They were originally led by an Autobot named Impactor, who was succeeded by Springer.
Known Members:
Impactor
Springer
Roadbuster
Whirl
Topspin
Twin Twist
After the team's decimation during the events of Time Wars the survivors joined together with other "outsiders" both Autobot and and Decepticon to form the (aptly named) Survivors.
Universe: The Wreckers comics
The Wreckers are still by tradition considered an Autobot force, despite being on Maximal-era Cybertron, and accepting even Decepticons and Predacons into their ranks following the takeover of Cybertron by Megatron and his Vehicon armies.

"Of course it's a lost cause. That's why we're here!" - Springer
The Wreckers are the Autobots who get called in when the odds of success are nonexistent, but the job needs to be done anyway. Assigned to Varas Centralus after the Decepticon infiltration on that planet goes to Phase Six, they are pulled out and sent back to Cybertron at the order of Optimus Prime when the Autobot leader suspects that Thunderwing himself may be somehow returning.
The Wreckers arrive just in time to save Nosecone and Afterburner. They then proceed to effectively take Bludgeon's team appart without breaking a sweat.
