    Inspired by @Spudmunkey 's Junkpuncher and @Autobot00 's Junk Eon, I present

    SCRAP HEAP

    This repaint of a repaint was kicked off by finding a headless POTP Wreckgar at a thiftstore. I was finally able to create the "Junkion riding a Junkion" that we all know is inevitable. That same week, I saw spudmonkey's JunkPuncher and was inspired. I went to work collecting more Junkions. During the planing process I stumbled across Autobot00's Junk Eon and drew more inspiration for my final product. Now after about a month of pin punching, screw turning, cleaning, dye disasters and endless brushing. I have my own Junkion Combiner.

    Enjoy the pics. This was a hella lot more work than I thought it was gonna be. However I'm very pleased with how it turned out. On the fence about mini-Wreckgar. He may have to go or get repainted himself one day.

    4/24/19 - UPDATE - Mini Wreck Gar got his update. A dark bath in some brown dye darkened him up to match Scrap Heap and the other Junkions more closely.

    Truly remarkable, lad. My only bit of constructive criticism is that the artists formerly known as Micronus Prime could use new names and faceplates. @Trentulas might be helpful with the latter.

    Lol True.
    I was very concerned about the titan masters being able to fit in their shell. They were snug before I added paint and it seems that each titan master was kinda specific to each shell. Getting a different backplate might have wrecked that. Plus it wasnt until after I had painted them that I started thinking they would need identities and I hadnt included anyway to differentiate them. Still havent thought up names for them, or the inferno repaint himself. I got as far as naming the combined form and got a creative cramp!
