    I would have been much more tempted if Scrapheap's deco was closer to his Takara scheme.

    I'm excited for this set, if Wheelie is in Titans Return and then I get this set and my 86 Movie Autobots are complete!(except a Rodimus Prime) The deco on Hot Rod anyway looks ace. But can Hasbro seriously not screw up their official images?

    God...I really want this set, as I love the Junkion mold, and I could always use more, but the price is the killer for me. Any chance that these things have gone on clearance? I haven't really kept up on Platinum releases.

    even though I have the ehobby scrapheap, I kind of want that scrapheap since it is different enough. could always use more different junkions

    Just ordered this set since the only junk ion I have is combiner wars wreck-gar. What is the name of the 3rd head for the junk ion from generations? Was it also scrap heap or was it junk heap? There is a third head right?

    I can never remember the,mcorrectly but looking it up, Scrapheap is the one in this set while Junkheap is the second one we got at retail via the Generations line (what seemed like the last wave at the time).

    A quick guide to the Junkion heads:

    Wreck-Gar - RTS, United, Platinum

    Junkheap - Generations

    Scrapheap - EHobby, Platinum

    All three were used in a Botcon set of Shattered Glass/Insecticon Juinkions

    Awesome, thanks a lot for the info. I've never handled the mold as I was more into the main lines units rid15/combiner wars flipped the script on me

    I was just checking out Toy Dojo when I noticed this set is heavily discounted:

    upgrade armor

    if this is for these figures it may be interesting for those planning to buy this set

    I'm thinking two junkions for the medic and warrior upgrade since they're both at the same price point from toy dojo. If only they made shattered glass versions too.

    Wow, that's a great price. I have both. Just keep in mind the armor that clips onto the left knee WILL strip the paint off of it.
