Desperate, he turns to his last resort; The Wreckers! Unfortunately for him, the few surviving Wreckers are broken after their final, brutal mission on Garrus 9. Now they're just a bunch of thugs, vigilantes, cripples, and old soldiers idling about. Can the Wreckers reform into the heroes they once were for this last job?New characters can be found on Last Stand's character sheet.A finale to the Wreckers saga The Transformers: Requiem of the Wreckers was released in 2018.

Dirty Coward: An incredibly tragic example; as Verity admits, to her own shame, she wasn't actually blackmailing Prowl to get justice for Ironfist's death, but to save her own skin by pressuring Prowl into treating her illness.

comment
Darker and Edgier: Downplayed. Last Stand was an already dark story, but Sins stands out because of its bleakness. Last Stand had more violence, more major character death, and a far more monstrous villain; but Sins focuses much more on trauma and corruption in the Autobot ranks. The moral dilemmas are emphasized with Prowl having killed hundreds, if not thousands, of people in a False Flag Operation, Impactor coldly executing Hubcap and Guzzle for what they've done, and the delusion-fueled abusive treatment Roadbuster gave to his cadets to the point of killing some. Even the openings have different tones, with the optimism of Last Stand emphasized by the reds and action of the prison attack while Sins brings in a much more pessimistic opening with the use of blues and the cold.

Religion of Evil: Roadbuster used to be a worshipper of Mortilus, the Cybertronian god of death. Tarantulas exploited this to trick him into abusing his own cadets and sacrificing them to "Mortilus"... actually an false voice signal Tarantulas used to speak to Roadbuster.

Adaptational Villainy
 The Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers (Comic Book) / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: A lot of the members of Mayhem are characters that, in other continuities, were flat out heroes, largely due to being Autobots or Maximals. Here though, they're Bomb-Throwing Anarchists who, while neutral, are still willing to go to extremes in the name of exposing the crimes of the Cybertronians. Some like Claw Jaw are even willing to laugh in sadistic glee over the Wreckers being subjected to the Noisemaze, something that annoys Hubcap enough to remotely deactivate his immunity and amplify the effects of the Noisemaze, getting him killed just so he'll shut up.

Mythology Gag
 The Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: When Guzzle rips Polar Claw open, green liquid spills out that makes Guzzle act even worse. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to guess the liquid is related to Angolmois. In issue 3, Mesothulas refers to a process of "attaining the maximal", obviously referencing the Maximals, the Beast Wars's version of the Autobots. In issue 2, a Juxtaposed Halves Shot of Prowl's head and the Autobot sigil makes up two-panels. A reference to the Prowl toy's head being the visual basis for the Autobot insignia back when the franchise was created.

However Stakeout, Guzzle, Hubcap, and Roadbuster are all dead, Tarantulas may have escaped, Debris Station is in ruins, and Verity and Springer somberly note that they may not have long before they get dragged back into the destructive Wrecker lifestyle.

Lack of Empathy
 The Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers (Comic Book) / int_658f7193
comment
Lack of Empathy: Mesothulas's reaction to detonating a bomb in a neutral city and killing hundreds? "Did the bomb work right? Cool!". Continues to be a problem for Prowl, who views others as tools to be manipulated. There's some evidence he's getting better, as he implies he would have helped Verity with her illness if she had asked, sees the logic in Hubcaps speech about how if he keeps doing atrocities for the "greater good" it won't be long before this all happens again, and he risks his life to save Springer at the end, despite it being illogical to do so.

comment
Noble Demon: Carnivac and the Mayhems mean well and are merely motivated by a belief that Cybertron's government is lying to the populace. Mesothulas doesn't appear to have such noble intentions. Prowl sees himself as this (YMMV on whether he has a point), as his fantasy in the Positive Reinforcement Prison shows that he truly believes that Cybertron would be a paradise if everyone listened to him. However, he also doesn't deny it when the Wreckers call him a monster.

Continuity Nod: Verity still has the backup Aequitas slug she got from Ironfist in the epilogue short stories only found on the Hardcover version of LSTOW. Prowl is missing his right eye, which was punched out during a fistfight between him and Optimus Prime back in Combiner Wars. Kup's rescue is brought back, along with Prowl's mind-jacking of him, as told in the The Transformers: All Hail Megatron codas. The Mayhem team seems to be using the same technology the Dynobots used in the Spotlight: Shockwave comic. Mesothulas is noted to have invented both Aequitas and spark-extraction, devices that were major plot points in previous IDW comics. In the climax, Guzzle finally attempts to take revenge on Prowl and Kup for the deaths of his friends in Spotlight: Kup, as he was implied to be planning to do in Last Stand. It doesn't go well.

Ascended Extra: Roadbuster was a fairly minor character in Last Stand, only playing a big part in one of the epilogue short stories. Here he's more important to the plot, as he's one of the few active Wreckers remaining. Hubcap has been a very minor recurring character in IDW, being a security guard during Sentinel Prime's time, and being Pipes's pen pal before Pipes's death in MTMTE. Here he's been upgraded to a major character.

Face–Heel Turn: Carnivac used to be an enforcer of the Tyrest Accord like Ultra Magnus and Stakeout, but eventually became disillusioned with his work and defected to the Decepticons.

comment
Everyone Has Standards: Even the more dodgy Wreckers are openly disgusted when they learn how Prowl hijacked Kup's mind and used him. Prowl himself had a case of this in the backstory; Mesothulas blew up a city to frame the Decepticons for a war crime and sway public opinion back to the Autobots. Prowl was so horrified that he shoved Mesothulas into the Noisemaze and never looked back.

Blood Knight: Guzzle already enjoyed fighting a little too much, but since the events of Last Stand he's gotten worse; he shows incredible pleasure in violence and landed himself in trouble due to losing control and gunning down a group of surrendering Decepticons.

Luke, I Am Your Father: Since Springer is actually Ostaros, given his identity and false memories by Prowl, Tarantulas is technically Springer's father. Once he realizes it, Tarantulas attempts to tell Springer this, but the Noisemaze's collapse prevents him from doing so.

I Just Want to Be Special: Hubcap feels like nobody notices or cares about him and is desperate to be seen as somebody. This desperation is part of the reason he started working for Tarantulas; he was promised upgrades and a chance to be a hero by exposing Prowl's crimes.

 The Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers (Comic Book) / int_cce399
comment
This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Humorously subverted. Hubcap is a communications expert and is able to track Cybertronian body signatures. He gets brought along partly because this situation seems tailor made for him to be useful, only for the Wreckers to discover the Mayhems are using bio-disguises to cover their signatures, rendering Hubcap's tracking useless again. Roadbuster lampshades this: (But then it becomes less funny when it turns out Hubcap has a very different role altogether.)
