Background
Where it was created: Cybertron, Iacon.Time Created: Early Great Civil War - Decepticon Riots and before full scale war.
History: Created in the early segments of the Civil War, the Wreckers where a very different organisation from the now famous Autobot War Hero's that they are today. At the time Decepticon activity had increased in a number of sectors near the main city of Iacon, the brutal nature of the attacks leaving many calling for something to be done. It wasn't the first time that the upper class had dealt with revolts using force and the wreckers would be no different. Formed in the Autobot capital of Iacon under the discreet discretion of the Autobot High Council twelve former criminals where given pardons under the circumstances that they joined together as the Wreckers. They had little choice as each member was inserted with a killswitch including their self-appointed field leader Outlock.
From that point onwards the Wreckers became an effective special operations group, that although controlled by the the Autobot High Council where not considered an official part of the Autobots. This gave them increased ethical manoeuvrability as rather quickly the wreckers became an invaluable form of deterrent to many would be Decepticon Sympathisers. Under the guidance of the Autobot High Council their rules softened even further to the point many council members only asked for the result rather than the circumstances during debriefings.
The result of giving criminals high tech weaponry led to a much less strategic approach and instead influencing a very much more gun blazing approach that has now became an infamous part of the Wreckers tradition. In particular this tactic led to the destruction of the 'Verux: Weapon Systems' headquarters a Decepticon front that was located in the downtown district of Helex. Importantly as a sign of their poor moral compass over 1,000 neutral and Autobot casualties where caught in the destruction as collateral damage. Despite their success and undeniable willingness to get the job done regardless of the cost the Wreckers where determined expendable as the struggle between Autobot's and Decepticon's escalated into full scale war a number of wreckers members where lost. Only for their dwindling numbers to be replaced by additional soldiers of questionable morals. With the war continuing for millions of years the expendable nature of the wreckers led to it expanding from a single group to a number of squads unified under the Wrecker banner. The progression of the war lead to a number of widely documented suicide missions preformed by the wreckers this further lead to a skyrocket in their popularity and a further increase in squad numbers.
With the Exodus occurring many of the Wreckers where faced with the tragic eventuality of being forced to leave their homeworld. This included former Field Leader Impactor who became missing in action recently despite his announcement that members where to follow him to Earth. This had led to many of them arriving on Earth alongside their Autobot and Wrecker brethren. Their strong popularity and members renowned skill leading to a number of Wrecker's on the planet. Despite this however the Wreckers have a low survival rate, around 38% to 42%. In his absence Ultra Magnus has taken over as Field Leader.
