    That’s actually a pretty neat idea for Logos, do you reckon that Foc Soundblaster’s head can fit on there?
    Edit: 2010 Sunspot could be Buzzsaw!
    Edit 2 Electric Boogaloo: Apparently Sunspot can even perch on Mindwipe.

    yeah I'm not sure if I should get Sunspot to be Buzzsaw or get a second Laserbeak to repaint into Buzzsaw.

    I managed to stick TR Laserbeak's head onto GDO Laserbeak so I want to do the same for Buzzsaw.

    Edit: Not sure I need to swap heads for Mindwipe into Logos, its a similar head already.

    Yeah, the heads are pretty similar, the TR Laserbeaks head on Gdo Laserbeak’s body has piqued my interest, and pictures?

    Update: Images are now in.

    Well I mean he can be a different Junkion, obviously. TFWiki mentions Ashtray, Greasestain, Junkheap, Junkyard, Hazmat, Pinion, Re-Cycle, Rum-Maj, Scrap-Iron, Scrap-Heap, Shearbolt, Trashbin, Wastoid Gamma, etc etc etc...
    Actual, "Idler" could work. Like, one who's engine is always running in neutral -- plus, it's a portmanteau of "IDLE" + "ERic".

    Or, for a brand-new name, maybe "Garbo"?

    Plus Toyhax has two sticker sets which can literally turn PotP Wreck-Gar into new characters: Rubbish and Trashcannon.

    I can't remember if I posted these before but here goes:

    Fortnite Ragnarok as Skullgrin

    Gi Joe Mercer as Pretender Starscream

    This Fortnite figure as the Pretender shell of a Vehicon.

    I think they'd all go well with the Convention exclusive GI Joe Bludgeon from 2013.
