Lost Protectors
Wrecktifier is a character created by Play With This Too for their Lost Protectors series. He has a Tech Drone partner named D-Stroy.
Development
Wrecktifier's body design is inspired by Pretender Grimlock, while his colors are inspired by Trypticon and Shattered Glass Grimlock. D-Stroy's colors are inspired by Transformers Overkill.
Boneyard, Wastelander and Wrecktifier were among the stretch goals for the unsuccessful 2015 Lost Protectors Kickstarter campaign. They were to be unlocked if the campaign raised at least $420,000.[1]
In July 2015 Play With This Too released images the prototype for Boneyard and announced the design for the Tech Drone would be more like Microns.
Play With This Too revealed a color render of Wrecktifier on their Facebook page in August 2015.
Wrecktifier was one of the ten initial figures available as a reward for the unsuccessful Boneyard & Jetstrike Action Figures Kickstarter campaign, which began in September 2015.[2]
