    So... Wreck Gar is like a snowmobile?

    Pretty neat. Really like how it's obviously true to the original Junkion designs, while giving them some new styling.

    I dig it quite a bit. Not a fan of the snowmobile ski on Wreck-Gar but I bet that\'s not a permanent thing. Great designs overall, very true to the original with a lot of the RtS toy in there as well as new elements. Very cool.

    When I first read the headline, I thought Optimus was going to become a Junkion...

    I love Rum-Maj and his alt-mode. He\'s definitely got the biker gang motif going on.

    Rum-Maj is a she, not a he.

    I thought I saw that somewhere.

    She reminds me of a mix of Crossover Ghost Rider and Animated Oil Slick. Two great molds that go great together.

    I pored over these designs earlier today and they are great. Nice to see new artist Kei Zama taking the initiative to give a new spin to some of the existing Junkion designs. And I'd love to see a closeup of their faces in the coming issue. Those pointy chins and manic grins are appealing. (( wait, those are more like smirks actually ))

    Bot modes look good. Wreck-gar's snow-bike not so much. Rum-Maj's bike mode gives me an OilSlick vibe from Animated.
