The mighty AUTOBOT was so impressed with the talent of JUNKHEAP that he encouraged AUTOBOT RATCHET to spend extended leave on Planet Junkion to hone his repair skills.

Well, while it may not work for the G1 movie, suppose these toy bios represent a world in which Ratchet did not die. After all, toy bios can be seen as their own continuity.
Far too much thinking required for me

Because this article is about both of them, as it was originally. And talks of these two were already going on, so making a new topic would just be a duplicate of this topic.Rated X wrote:Junk Heap looks great !!! And he will look even better with the custom Junkion armor in yellow I got coming. (like in the last picture and my sig)
Off topic: Why cant they just start a new thread every time ? Nobody cares about all the old comments from the previous thread. Especially when the Article is suppossed to be about Junkheap and the first 20 comments are about Sky Shadow.

correct me if I'm wrong...but in the 1986 TF movie...wasn't Ratchet already dead by the time the Junkions put Ultra Magnus back together?

Yeah, but you should always take the Bio's with a grain of salt.

Especially when it comes to bio's from like the first wave of Beast Wars for example. Totaly not anything related tot he actual show.
The whole concept of the Universal Streams system makes this work. Any Universal stream ending with a "Beta" is set in a toy bio world or pack-in comic world. This bio is/could be a "Beta" stream in which Ultra Magnus sent Ratchet to Junkion.Pretender Skywarp wrote:Lord Onixprime wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Nuh uh.

At the risk of being *really* picky, the BW toy bios were done before the corresponding fiction was finalise and retconned as needed, it would appear that on this occasion they're a little muddled
I do see where youre coming from tho, you can always make these things match up!!

BTW, you're a G1 cartoon fan, right? Junkheap in the cartoon's official name is "Junkyard". They're just calling the toy "Junkheap" since they can't use the "Junkyard" name for the toy.
Well, if you have this topic bookmarked (as I do), you shoudl get emails directing you to the lastest unread post, which skips over all the older posts if you keep up with the topic enough.Rated X wrote:I cant say Im a fan of that system. Half the fun of leaving a comment is seeing when someone replies to it. Nobody reads the old 136 comments from 2 weeks ago so why should they be forced to scroll through them. Maybe they can fix the system so it starts bottom up with the most recent comment being on top of page 1.
You're right that he wasn't named in the movie. Nor were any of the other G1 Junkions. His name (and those the others) comes from the Complete Ark book, which compiles together animation models and production material from the G1 cartoon with newly-written information about it. The names given to each G1 Junkion were Junkyard, Scrapheap, Rubbish, Ashtray, Re-Cycle, HAZMAT, Trashbin, Wasteoid Gamma, and Greasestain.Rated X wrote:I didnt know he had a real name ? When Wreck-Gar called his followers to fix Ultra Magnus, wasnt it a whole team that fixed him ? When did they call names (in the movie) I swear I missed it...
