HK-TF member dadedum has posted the first out of the package images of the recent released e-Hobby exclusive Transformers United Autobot 3 pack - Scrap Heap.
This figure is a repaint and brand new head sculpt of the Reveal The Shield Wreckgar.

A little bit of orange wouldn't have hurt this guy. Love the new head. Might need to do some swapping.

Bout time !!!

Cant wait to get mine, still waiting on Reflector beforw my order ships. I do hope Hasbro repaints this mold again for even more Junkions !!!

Disappointing, the main reason I was interested in this guy was the way the official images made all that grey plastic look silver-painted. Looks like I won't be getting any version of that mould after all...

"Takara Exclusives" = Hasbro Screw Job. Just gimme the Jolly Ranchformers already.

Didn't really see what the big fuss was with this guy anyway; it's just Wreck-Gar with a new headsculpt. Great head, but not worth the money and praise the entire set is going for.

damn those are some bright red speedos

Not bad. Glad to add him to my Junkion team.

What would be even more awsome would be a Cy-kill head to put on the Wreck-Gar body, though.

No one ever turns the figure's right foot around on this mold....

It would be very cool to have a Junkion buddy for Wreck gar but as I've said before, the pointless blue hot rod and kup make this an easy pass.

Two re-paint requests;

Cy-Kill and Armada Sideways, go on Hasbro, you know you want to.....

I do!

Anyway, this looks awesome. Nice sculpt and a bit toned down from both the Hasbro and Takara releases so far. I have to wonder how many people don't like the figure because they aren't getting the figure...

Exorbitant amounts of money for a head resculpt that looks like it was painted by a blind five year old?! I'll take them all!

I don't have Wreck-Gar yet (still a no-show around my part of CT) but I do like Scrap Heap. I'm hoping that some Junkion repaints/remolds make their way into the Hasbro line because I won't be dropping $100 on this set. I just can't justify it.

Now, if there was a set with the transparent Cyclonus, Scourge and Scrap Heap then I'd bite.

I still wish they'd gone Voyager size with Galvatron.

Oh hyperbole, thy name is Internet.

Considering that the figure comes in a three pack, the price is only slightly higher than a regular United figure. Exorbitant? I think not. Well, not unless $40 or so is going to break your bank. But THAT is a whole other issue.

Further consideration brings us to the thought that while we all have opinions, yours on the matter of the paint apps on this toy are well, wrong.

Please do take into even further consideration that yes indeed, I am calling your opinion wrong. The pictures we have of the toy show clean paint lines and a balanced palate of colors.

But you don't allow personal rationalizations to get in the way of objective discussion.

THAT's why we haven't sent internet spiders into your computer yet! Everything has a reason.

Look. I know my World History. The Internet (and Usenet) was founded on the idea that we all could argue our beliefs without needing to be objective, coherent, fair, rational, bipedal or even logical. Damn it Counterpunch, I have access to a modem and enough motor control to type on a keyboard. I'm against Scrap Heap!

News Credits: 12 · by **robofreak** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 11:10 am

If I had the money I would buy these figures. I want them, but they're going to have to wait.

I may end up paying a higher price later on down the road, but I'll get them eventuallly.

(Unless someone has some extra cash lying around and would be willing to pick up a extra set? I'll be able to pay once I'm working again which should be in a few months)

My dissapointment ceoms from not being able to army build Scrapheap. It's Galaxy Force White Noisemaze all over again.

All I gotta say is wow !!!

Im getting my Scrap Heap for a good price because I ordered from Robotkingdom. The set only cost $88 without shipping. And even though theyre shipping costs are very high, when you bundle a bunch of stuff including pre-orders together, you save a ton of money compared to BBTS, Toy Arena, TF Source, etc. So now I must wait for PE reflector to come out before I get my Scrap Heap. I bought the set for him !!!

Other way round fella, I decided not to get it because I don't like the way it looks (at least compared to the promo pics). I thout that was how this whole liking-things-and-buying-them thing worked? However, it will be sad not to be able to add a Chromedome to my classics-ish collection...

Bloody hell, I thought we all agreed not to talk about that figure... :sad:

Well, If you already own all the figures, then the only thing different besides paint IS just the head resculpt, and He probably meant dropping cash just for that isn't worth it. And I agree, the eyes looked like they were painted really badly in that one close up pic of scrap heaps eyes, sooo... I wouldn't ever get this set coz I only want the Junkion. I can just wait it out for another Junkion repaint. And if that never comes, it's not like I can't fit other bots onto Wreck gar's bike mode.

News Credits: 127 · by **Counterpunch** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:31 pm

Are there other pictures? If there's one showing poorly painted eyes, I didn't get to see it.

At any rate, c'mon guys, don't get me wrong. Of course there are plenty of valid reasons NOT to buy a particular figure. Then there is the vilification of a figure for the sake of rationalizing a lack of purchase. That kind of thing throws unfair comments into the mix and is pretty easy to pick up on.

Hail to the yes! You gotta love pictues of comically oversized bots riding the Wreck-Gar mould. Best to keep it in alt-mode anyway, with that headsculpt, Wreck-Gar's kinda the Revoltech Woody of the TF world...

Hmm, I think I just inadvertantly talked myself into buying Scrapheap...
