    I knew Scrapheap was doing that, I'm just a little wary after guys like Cliffjumper.

    With scraphook make a side car for this guy as seen in the evo poster and 2 if these make a different front end for scraphook. These defiantly are a secrect combiner like the fossils with the leg of scraphook.

    Now I'm curious which kit cars that Minerva and Elita look like. Those alt modes look really strange to me and it'd be pretty cool to find an excuse for their look.

    Somewhat infamously, some reviewer got Kingdom Pipes as one of these factory rejects, and he only came with one gun. The people on this board being completely rational, and never prone to hysterical knee-jerk reactions and assumptions naturally came to the completely sane conclusion ... that Pipes would only come with one gun and thus was ruined forever.
    He's not evil, he's a mercenary. Granted, most of the mercenary faction almost exclusively get used as villains ...

    Not a “kit car” per se, but when I saw the reveal for Elita, I saw a LOT of the car at the end of “Grease” in it and cant un-see it. If you’ve ever seen a Bradley GT (those were also VW beetle based) that’s a kit car that seems to lend some inspiration. The Bricklin SV-1 could have had some influence.


    They called it “dune buggy inspired” but yeah…no. 485C51FD-3E12-407E-8C45-27B6D164BB0F.jpeg

    There are some good options. He’d make a better Crankcase than what we got, but that ship’s sailed. He’d make decent Ruckus, assuming there’s not a dune buggy based Junkion in the works (and there definitely SHOULD be) but Rollbar with his Alternators colors would be better yet. Energon Strongarm would be solid too.

    Some have speculated that all Junkions will be Deluxe sized and the Voyager Junkion is actually a Deluxe-sized Voyager packed in with customisable accessories. We know there's a Tow truck (Scraphook), Bike (this guy) and 60s Camaro (unknown, on poster). If Detritus is to be counted then also a Jeep. Now this leaves us with one more Junkion. What will this one guy transform into?

    Hasbro should totally use that as his name. Ah, if only they had the balls to do so.

    Where did that Detritus = Junkion rumour originate? Isn't that rumour entirely idotic given...:

    Hound.jpg

    Detritus is obviously going to be a pre-paint of this. I'd prefer a Junkion, but let's be realistic. There's a mold to be reused and Detritus is destined to be a Hound repaint..


    I just watched the review and fell in love with this Junkion. I love the weaponary. No idea why people complain about him not being a full weaponizer. That was never the idea, duh... he's supposed to be ripped appart and maybe have some crazy weapons / Shockwave style extra arms and stuff. oh and of course frankensteining the Junkions (and Kup) together for some freaky looks. THAT's the idea guys.. weaponizer was SIEGE

    What I like a lot about these new Junkions is that they don't look as cringy as Wreckgar

    Huh, maybe it was just the overly huge guns but brain insisted he was bigger.

    Might just be a coincidence but the bike mode does have aesthetics of the 2010s Junkion figures. The robot mode also reminds me of DX9's take on Cy-Kill.
