Wreckage (Shot in Japan) was the name of a Mini-Con that transformed into a green missile tank. He was leader of the Land Military Team.
According to his biography in Dreamwave comics Wreckage is no stranger to combat, and in very independent, not wanting to side with the Autobots or Decepticons. He is strong and tough as Mini-Cons come, and his missiles can be high-explosive or EMP.
[edit] Animated series
After the Exodus crashed on Earth, Wreckage lay dormant until being found and reactivated by the Decepticons. Once he was reunited with Bonecrusher and Knock Out, however, the team eventually sent a signal to contact the Mini-Cons recovered by the Autobots. This ultimately led to a confrontation in which the Land Military Team, as well as many of the other Decepticon Mini-Cons, chose to join the Autobot side.
Wreckage and the others remained with the Autobots, eventually following them to Cybertron and coming together to fight their evil creator Unicron.
He last appeared in episode #27, "Detection".
[edit] Dreamwave Productions
Wreckage and the Land Military Team were captured and altered by the Decepticons to be used as weapons of conquest millions of years ago. They escaped aboard the exodus with most other Mini-Cons.
Wreckage first appeared in issue #7 of the Dreamwave Armada comic. They declared themselves free agents upon reactivating on Earth. Nonetheless, at the request of Alexis, Carlos and Rad, they freed Jolt, Longarm and Sparkplug from Decepticon captivity and helped them save the Autobots from the Decepticons.
Later they were taken against their will to Dualor's moonbase. Following the destruction and abandonment of the moonbase, the Land Military Team stayed with the Autobots, where they were instrumental in separating Star Saber from Megatron's grip after he used it to destroy the invading Galvatron.
Finally in issue #18, Wreckage joined with all other active Mini-Cons in returning to Cybertron and activating Over-Run's Mini-Con Matrix, incapacitating Unicron and leading to his defeat.

Wreckage is the name of a Decepticon who appeared in the toy line and video game tie-ins for the 2007 live action film "Transformers". He doesn't appear in the movie itself, but he's based on a design that didn't make the cut.
Wreckage is a cold-blooded methodical soldier who prefers close hand-to-hand combat.
[edit] IDW Publishing
In the second issue of the Transformers: Movie Prequel distributed by Target stores online, Wreckage was revealed to be among the Decepticons commanded by Starscream who came to Earth. Wreckage was the first of them to scan an Earth vehicle form, and was seemingly killed, or at least severely disabled, by a sneak attack from Sector-7 soldiers using an EMP weapon. The other Decepticons made short work of the humans and left Wreckage behind.
[edit] Toys
- Movie Wreckage (2007)
- A Deluxe sized Decepticon with spring loaded swords made of translucent red plastic. His vehicle mode's colored are in arctic camouflage- white and light gray. With a real United States Marine Corps LAV-C2 armored personnel carrier being 639 centimeters long and this toy measuring 12.5 centimeters long, it would have a scale of 1/51 and he would stand about 23 feet tall in robot mode (roughly equivalent to the height of Autobot Ratchet from the movie).
- Transformers 3D Battle Card Game Wreckage (2007)
- In the Transformers 3D Battle Cards Wreckage instead appears as a modified M1 Abrams Tank. This is simply a repaint of the Brawl card.
