Bringing back two more or less obscure factions-within-factions, the Wreckers and Mayhem Attack Squad add to the ranks with Fisitron and Carnivac. One of two 2-packs from Amazon, both hit around the same time and this one has a few new parts to bring back characters that haven't been widely available in quite some time.

Ironfist has had a few toys in the modern era under the name Fisitron, most of which were hard-to-find club exclusives or convention items. This is the first Carnivac in a long time. It's certainly the cheapest way to get either character right now.

The value is there for modern toys, given inflation and competitive items. Sure, Wolfwire was $16.99 in 2016 and yeah, Hound was $20 in 2019, but $25 is a deluxe price in 2025. With a few new parts, I like what I got, mostly just because I wanted a good Fisitron. And it's a good one.

Fisitron is why I bought the set - the IDW Comics version of the character feels very much like one of us, a fanboy destroyed by his hobby. That feels about right. hasbro made the smart decision to take an existing military vehicle mold - an off-model not-quite-Jeep/Humvee thing - and retool the roof, adding some new accessories, and painting it to look sort of like the comic. I say "sort of" because it might be open to interpretation. The toy is silver and gold. The comic - to me - looked a bit more gray and orange. To each their own, I suppose. The vehicle has wheels and rolls about as well as you expect. It's a fun transformation, but not much of a rolling car.

You can see some trimmed costs - no clear windows! I don't mind, I don't want fragile parts. The mostly silver vehicle has blue highlights, a blue Wreckers symbol, and a red Autobot symbol. It's not bad.

Transformation is easy - this is one of the better Siege-era designs that got iterated on, not falling apart or snagging my fingers. In just a few moments you go from a brick of a truck to a pretty nice robot, with the odd but cool choice to spread the legs out lengthwise over the vehicle body. It's a clever choice.

With 3 new accessories, you've got some options - he can wear them all combined as a backpack. He can hold the whole thing as a big blaster. Or, you can take it apart and hold it however you want. It looks a lot like the original toy's mechanism, but it doesn't actually have any play functionality. For most people, this is ideal.

The robot articulation is basically the same as Hound (and friends), with jointed wrists , tilting ankles, you know the drill. It gets the job done. The color isn't quite what I imagined, but it mostly works. I could do without the gold shoulders and hands - I'd prefer orange or blue - but I guess the mold color breakdown isn't something you can mess with too much. Everything fits well, and it's functional. I love the new head sculpt with its big eyes and those little vents around the face mask, too - whoever is doing those over at Hasbro is knocking it out of the park this year.

Carnivac basically riffs on Wolfwire and fixes some fragile bits. The rubbery back hatch on the back of Wolfwire is now a harder plastic. The wolf is pretty much the same design, with new accessories giving it a slightly different silhouette. The wolf visor of the original 1980s toy is painted on - you can see the eyes from Wolfwire - but it more or less works. There's only so much budget for new parts, and I'm glad they put them into a new face, new gear, and some added durability. The legs are loaded with articulation, the wolf has a jointed neck, and the jaw opens. It's good! It makes sense that they just wanted to use an existing mold. Sure, it's 9 years old now, but that's time for you. If you haven't yet got a Weirdwolf/Wolfwire, you might be better off just buying this toy.

Transformation is pretty great with a few moving panels, twisting limbs, and flip-out feet. It could've been simpler, but they did a good job making sure it wasn't too complex and was somewhat involved. Decepticon Survivor - his head - is a redeco of Monxo with a new face plate. The tiny head becomes the big robot's neck, and it has more paint this time. Survivor has a really nicely painted metallic blue face and some purple on his chest, which means you get a slightly better sidekick than the previous toys had.

Changing from robot to wolf was a breeze. Going from wolf to robot, I had some panels around the wrists pop off and one of the ankles popped off, as did the toes on one foot. I blame the paint for some of that, so be careful when you play with this one. The robot feels sturdy and the head has a lot of personality, thanks to the smirk and the bright white eyes. He stands well and he looks cool. He has no problem holding his gear, and looks pretty great for a toy from nearly a decade ago.

By and large, it's great. You have a Decepticon logo on the chest and enough paint to get you closer to the original toy. The Mayhem symbol is hidden in robot mode - it's under the wolf head, so you won't be seeing it. I do think it's a bit of a shame, given it's a cool (but small) symbol. The color layout artist(s) did a nice job here and the factory decorated it well.

If you don't have a massive backlog already, get this set. $50 for two retools of characters you probably want, it's a lot cheaper than a club or convention item. I'd probably happily buy either as single figures, and a two-pack closed-box mail order exclusive is also not a bad way to get these.
