The Wreckers appeared in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. They function as a commando unit that transform into heavily armed NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Chevrolet Impala stock cars equipped with machine guns. The Wreckers are called upon whenever the odds of success are slim. They are also mechanics helping Epps to repair an Autobot spaceship, "Xantium".
The members of the Wreckers are:
- Roadbuster, based on the #88 AMP Energy/National Guard car driven by Dale Earnhardt, Jr.. Voiced by Ron Bottitta in a Scottish accent.
- Leadfoot, based on the #42 Target car driven by Juan Pablo Montoya. Voiced by John DiMaggio in a Cockney accent.
- Topspin, based on the #48 Lowe's/Kobalt Tools car driven by Jimmie Johnson.
The trio were among the Autobots who survived the battle in Chicago. The car-modes of the three Wreckers also ran in the pace laps during the opening of the 2011 Daytona 500.

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or moon:
“What seest thou else
In the dark backward and abysm of time?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Suppose you attend to the suggestions which the moon makes for one month, commonly in vain, will it not be very different from anything in literature or religion? But why not study this Sanskrit? What if one moon has come and gone with its world of poetry, its weird teachings, its oracular suggestions,—so divine a creature freighted with hints for me, and I have not used her? One moon gone by unnoticed?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
