    That rumor ended up being a fake one of the leakers decided to plant because apparently blowing up their credibility was worth it for a "laugh" that nobody but him had.

    It wasn't wreckgar, but one of his sources

    I was thinking about the Possibilities of Weaponizer/Modulator Redecoes into Junkions and was thinking about potential names for Junkions with their molds.
    First of all, Cog. Cog and his two components Gasket and Gromit are all named after Mechanical Parts, making them fitting as Junkions. Cog's Junkion Counterpart could be called Jam with Defect and Fault. Considering that a lot of the Junkions are named after Trash/Junk/Waste and that Cog and his two components are named after Mechanical Pieces, naming a Junkion based upon that Mold after Mechanical Malfunctions would be great.
    Next is Six-Gun. Considering Six-Gun was turned into a Cybertronian VTOL, I say that he should be retooled into a more Mechanical Design instead of his current Sci-Fi design. His name should reflect his original name and the fact he becomes 6 Guns. I don't exactly have a potential Name for him.
    Could someone help me figure out any other potential names for Junkion Weaponizer/Modulator Redecoes?

    I doubt any weaponizers will be turned into Junkions, as the Junkions don't partsform.

    I'll have to review the tape, but did Mark say that it was all the Junkions or was he referring just to Scraphook for now?

    "Unlike our past weaponizers and fossilizers, our Junkions don’t partsform"
    It's for all the Junkions, I think.

    No he said they don't parts form to transform in to their vehicle modes, like other weaponized such as slammer do. They will be able to pull apart and peg different sectionson other bots like weaponized.

    For a deluxe, they can engineer a weaponizer with no needs of parts forming to transform and make it look off the hook(pun intended), but for Blitzwing, Nuh uh. Needs to be "Leader".

    Though I was teasing - and would prefer they were a targetmaster - in a way they'd be a Targemaster anyway if they broke up into bits and since they may want to repaint or remould them - why not - I guess another wacky choice might be an Accelerator Hotrider too then we'd have a G2 weaponiser to.

    I like the robot to look at - and he is quite heavy and chunky in the hand, and I did buy him on sale - so I can't complain that hard.

    But poorly engineered Hasbro toys in combination with bad QC, Zero customer support, & discolouration is making me pivot more towards other options - I've already entirely stopped buying most Studio Series unless they are on clearance.

    I was half joking but to be honest having a Junkion repaint/remould as a combiner team's official power up might actuall work pretty well I'll have to try slapping armour bit on Menasor and see what that looks like with what I have already.

    An Offroad remold would be great especially if they could make him compatible with the rest of the team.
    Especially if was the only one that could be an arm or leg.


    I'm firmly convinced I'm never going to get satisfactory earth mode triple changers until I get a 3d printer and re-design them myself.

    I dunno how Scraphook being a modular figure means anything with regard to Blitzwing.

    Modular Junkions are targeted right at me; I've got doubles (or more) of the weaponizers, and have nearly all of the modulators & fossilizers already. I preordered one Scraphook immediately, but I worry that's not going to be enough.

    Hopefully down the line the Junkions get some air support, something inspired by the Airtruk or similar distinctively "weird" aircraft.

    I also really hope we get a core weaponizer version of Short Junkion. A mild retool or redeco of Siege Refraktor/Scrapface could work as a Junkion hoverboard with his third-mode cube as a Junkion TV set (just retool the chest windscreen/tray as a CRT/LCD screen).

    Yeah, I have a mighty need to build a Junkion combiner inspired by Weird Al. (No, not inspired by Wreck-Gar -- inspired by Weird Al.)

    I could definitely see that and Prime Ironhide out of him too.

    And speaking of Kup, I could see a version of TFTM Tanker as a modular Junkion too. And he wouldn't even need to have a real-world Sherman tank alt either, just a space tank (maybe even with some Microtron inspiration)?

    OH, yes, please!

    ...And the Bullet Farmer's tracked Peacemaker. And the Buzzard's spikey Plymouth Rock.

    I can see it as entirely possible they will do a Core Class Wreckgar at some point. Unless they think the Legends class one "will do" for the time being.

    How about this for an idea "Botbots branded Mini-Junkions" similar to the Botbots but with some influence of the Kitchen Crew and Junkion colours.

    Heck a great many Botbots would look great with the Junkions as is.

    I wonder if Disney would mind having Larry the Cable Guy voice him?

    Yeah. Especially if some of them are the Retro Replays.
    And for those who are wondering, me thinking about Junkion redecoes of the Weaponizers/Modulators are because of the way the Junkions appear to be modular, so arming them with Weaponizer/Modulator Parts feels like something possible.

    Small junkion is one I'd like to see, just cuase why not

    But your Refractor idea I really like, would be cool to see it be slightly inspired by the old retro robots with the TV chests
