e-Hobby Japan online store has updated their website with the new images of Scrap Heap of the e-Hobby Exclusive Transformers United Autobot 3-Pack set.

Previously we know that Scrap Heap is a retool of Wreck Gar with a brand new head.
With the new images, we finally get to see how the new head will look like, seems like it is a must have for the collectors to build a Junkion Army.

I'm very tempted by Kup and Scrapheap. The blue Rodimus looks cool but is pointless

You might be right there. I really didn't care about this set until I saw that picture.
On the otherhand, it is a lot of money to pay for 1 out of 3 figures and the Autobots already outnumber the Decepticons.
If I decide to create a Junkion army, I'll buy up loads of Hasbro Wreck-Gars and mod them. With my poor customising skills they'll definately look like they come from a planet of junk.

That's right! The Junkions shouldn't look perfectly sculpted or anything anyway.

I would buy this set for Scrapheap and keep this version of Kup and not bother with the regular Unite/RTS version.
Rodimus would be getting sold on Ebay though.

Who is Scrap Heap? Is that an existing character, or a made-up name? Is this an homage to some other character/figure? Just curious.

Re: e-Hobby Transformers United Autobot 3 Pack - Scrap Heap Revealed! (1158368)
Posted by Jazz-1982 on December 17th, 2010 @ 7:25am CST

He's one of the Junkions from the planet of Junk in the original Transformers animated movie back in 1986.
It's another 2010 tribute figure.

If Henkei Dirge and Thrust are an indicator of anything, then Hasbro will likely bring this mold over to their lineup at some point in the future.

Don't despair! We'll get him eventually.

The head really isn't what I was expecting but I like it. I'll have to wait though before I can think about shelling the money for that pack.

Nice. Ill just wait for Hasbro to pull out the vaseline and release it in the USA. I called it right on the money with Thrust, Dirge, and and Red Alert.

Posted by TFBuyer on December 17th, 2010 @ 8:29am CST

Yeah, that's pretty cool. I may actually pre-order this. At the very least, I'll sell hardly-battle-damaged Kup and definitely sell pointlessly-clear-blue Rodimus on e-bay. Nitpicky completist collectors will most likely come through for me and help me recoup some of that $80 price tag...

*EDIT* Whoa. Just going to pre-order through BBTS, and it's $120! Wrong place to pre-order, I guess... So, do I need to speak Japanese to pre-order this thing for the $80 that everyone's talking about?? :???:

Scrapheap was one of the many Junkions seen in the 1986 G1 animated movie. He was not named on screen, nor in any media at the time. His name comes from The Complete Ark book.

I'm probably going to get at least two and try to mod one to look different.

Now if only Fansproject would show us something of their junkion (if they're still doing it).

Posted by zodconvoy on December 17th, 2010 @ 8:59am CST

To anyone ordering this set who doesn't want a random clear blue Hot Rod, I will gladly take it off your hands.

As for Scrapheap, we already know that Wreck Gar is going to get a repaint stateside so I'm not holding my breath for this one. I'm still hoping for a Cy-kill/Oilslick to come out of this.

Posted by First-Aid on December 17th, 2010 @ 9:01am CST

I am pleased that they are scaled so they can ride each other...(that sounds vaguely kinky). Here's hoping it comes out in the US cuz I am NOT shelling out that kind of money for a two pack (the blue Rodimus doesn't count).

I've hummed and hawed and I think I'm going to stick with BBTS for my Preorder. After shipping vs the PoL it amounts to a 10% markup for guaranteed top of the line customer service.

Maybe not that one, but I am sure a "Junkion warrior" head of some kind. It's too easy for Hasbro to pass up.

I've never heard of anything that would indicate Hasbro wasn't allowed to sell Scrapheap in the global markets.

Maybe I am wrong but I have never seen Hasbro release anything e-hobby has done.
I could see them maybe selling a repaint with a similar paint scheme though to get their monies worth out of the mold though.

Thrust and Dirge were exclusive to stores in Japan, and considering the wing molds could have been problematic but ultimately weren't, the exclusivity argument is rendered moot.

The thing is, up until now, eHobby has only done repaints, not remolds. I don't know if they got ahold of the second head mold for the figure, or if they've gotten an exclusive remold. Only time will tell.

Looks awesome, but there's no way I'm shelling out the money for this set. I'll wait until Hasbro releases their own version of the mold.

Not buying them I hadn't realized they were e-hobby, I thought they were TakaraTomy

You know that 3rd party company that did Hothead for Universe Hardhead and the new head for ROTF Bludgeon? Yeah Head Robots I think they're called. I'd like to request 2 Junkion head molds from them in a 2 pack for around 20.00. Since they wouldn't have to adhere to child safety laws, they could get nasty on it and add a little mouth hinge articulation. Doesn't seem too out of question.

working off the fact that many of the Generations figures have had their alternate heads included in the original molding, I'd be a bit surprised if Wreck-Gar's Hasbro repaint didn't have a new head. I don't know if it will be this one, but I think there's a good chance, the colours will probably be different.

I really want this set (well 2/3rds of it) now, but it's so pricey!

Do you guys have an idea of how frustrated I feel?
you´re all complaining about the hefty price tag of $80 for a deluxe 3-pack, but where I live, 3 deluxes would be about $80 anyway so meh...
sadly I´m unable to order via internet, but aside from that, I´d get the set, I don´t have any of these molds and I kinda like the blue Rodimus

I'm getting the 3 pack for the Rodimus and Kup. This is just an awesome bonus to me. I really like the head. Oh and you can see his head on box in those preview shots we got days back.

Good point!! Since every instruction sheet for the HFTD, Generations, and RTS lines have shown the alternate heads of the figures all we have to do is wait for someone to confirm it if they get a hold of him before it hits the stores.

Maybe we will get a different head and paint job? After all there were so many of them in the '86 movie...possibilities are endless.

In any case both sets were pre-ordered before they revealed the head.

if Hasbro can give us other characters with the same toy but with different head molds like darkmount/skullgrin then there is a very good chance that they will give us Scrap Heap
but still they have yet to do a generations or reveal the shield Thunder Cracker
so who knows what will happen

I preordered it, but I may cancel. Not entirely sure. It's very pricey and the figures don't seem to be all too special, except for Rodimus. Sure Scrapheap has a new head, but it seems likely he'll be sold as a non exclucive in a different color scheme.

Dude, I will buy the Junkion fig off you. I know Kup is coming out int he US, and I have no interest in Frozen Rodimus so that would work great for both of us. PM me if you are interested!

It looks a bit like you could swap a few of the limbs to the opposite side of the bot without comprimising vehicle mode, and have more different looking junkions.
