These are the best pics I could find from the movie that looks like Scrapheap and Junkyard

So I'll be getting three RtS Wreck-Gars to keep in alt mode, one United Wreck-Gar, one Hasbro Scraphead, and the Takara three pack version. With the latter three riding the first three. (get our mind out of the gutter). Maybe sort ambitious third party company will make a set of alternate Junkion heads to further build the army.

Is Junkyard available as a trademark for Hasbro? I had a random thought on his name...one that's been used recently, too, that is appropriate for a Junkion I think...

...LANDFILL...

maybe?

And have G1-purists complain that name should be reserved for the Targetmaster dumptruck?

That sounds great. I'll take the same if you are taking orders :lol:

Score one for Hasbro. I'm glad they are making another Junkion for Wreck-Gar to command. Makes me want Scrap-heap that much more.

OMG!! This is all VERY exciting for me!!

I can't wait to get Wreck-Gar and everything else Junkion!!!

I have to wait to see how the paint looks before i decide if its a buy or not

Codswallop! I passed on the e-hobby pre-order because I thought Hasbro would just get the same one! CURSES!!!

Oh and on the subject of Wreck Gar, I don't really think I'll need the United version, since the only thing I don't like about the RTS version is that it doesn't have gray nipples, and I can rectify that in about half an hour, depending on the weather.

What about the Junkion in Marvel UK 146 that lured Cyclonus, scourge and Death's Head to Unicron?

Never been a fan of Junkions but I may just change my mind. I don't suppose they can ride each other like in the film. Be cool and possibly good business sense because fans would buy 2 of each.

Anyone else want a Nancy?

I like the new head, but I'd prefer a much more varied and random mold before considering making a Junkion army. Just doesn't make sense for them all to be so uniform. Very pleased it's not Arcee though.

"Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong"

Arise Junkion army!

by **Pr1meSuspect** » Tue Jan 18, 2011 9:51 pm

Yes! Now I can get a few more Junkions to stand next to my new Wreck-Gar!

Hmmmm interesting what I’m wondering is if they will be able to ride each other. :-?

Yes, they can! Click here for a photo.

it's a good news bad news.
I hope the US still gets the scraphead usage though.

I would still be happy if they remolded this a bit and gave it a new head to make Arcee.
The bike is as common an alt mode for her as her G1 car and the slim nature of the figure would fit with Arcee. Elitia one could be made as a repaint and they could ride each other just like Wreckgar and the other Junkions.....

I wouldn't want Arcee to be a remolded Wreck Gar. She deserves her own mold. The body is a litle too male for that.

Anyhow, I'm glad the Autobot eHobby set is finally worth getting. I was so sure that they'd make that version over here as well ...

I'd prefer her to get her own mold too but with igear and impossible toys already having imitated her G1 robot and alt mode exactly I think the bike is a much more realistic option (from the molds they've done so far) for HasTak if they are going to give her a figure.

Damn, now I need to get the 3 different heads? Jeez!

News Credits: 1 · by **Primacron's Little Helper** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 10:10 am

I think this is great - kudos to Hasbro for giving us a different head.

But.................. presumably most of us will have Wreck-Gar riding this other junkion since he's the 'famous' one. Therefore is doesn't really matter what head he has!

It will be interesting to see what paint scheme he gets though.
