Mark Maher on Instagram: "Let me introduce our brand new Legacy Evolution Deluxe Junkion Scraphook!Takara Tomy’s Ejima Takio san really out did himself on this excellent new Junkion cadet. Also, big shout outs to @artguy101 and @marcelomatere on some of the concept art that was made for these new dudes. There was an enormous amount of art, work, and downright passion to make this new team of Junkions come to life! Sweating just thinking about it!! I couldn’t be more proud of this Evo-Fusion system that is really going to optimize your play experience and overall joy across your past, present, and hopefully future collection! . First off, just check out this guys steel eye patch and metal mohawk. This guy has all of your favorite junkion style but with so much more awesomeness! Did I mention I used the same color specs with your Studio Series Wreckgar . For those of you that have been collecting since our Seige line, you will notice that the 5mm post system we have utilized on all our past weaponizers and fossilizers, the same system will be used here. For those of you who are new to this ability, please take a ride on a space bridge portal (youtube) or even better yet, buy some of our fossilizers and start your own combinations to get the hang of the system. . The key element here, which was shown in the 86 animated Transformers movie that debuted the first Junkions, they were able to fall apart or lose arms and legs and other Junkions could just pick up and utilize those parts as their own arms, legs, weapons, and armor. Not only can you do that with these new Junkion characters but for the first time ever, you will be able to split apart the front and back of their vehicle modes and combine and customize vehicle modes across all our new Junkions!!! . You can see me utilizing our Kingdom Deluxe Weaponizer Slammer, WFC Deluxe Brunt, and WFC Deluxe FastTrack for the custom fan builds showcased here. . But THERES MORE!! Unlike our past weaponizers and fossilizers, our Junkions don’t partsform. Ejima san was able to figure out a way for these Junkions to have your traditional transformation sequence! speechless…" Mark ia back with another BTS on the new junkions!
Junkions seems like a pretty cool idea and makes me suspect that maybe, maybe Shadow Striker might be part of it to get some resemblance to her Cyberverse look built from different parts. Also, that hook seems familiar.
Modular Junkions have literally been a dream of mine since I discovered the faction. Though I always imagined the bike ones with swappable limbs this feels really close and I hope we get more you can mix and match.
I skipped on the Weaponizers/Modulators/Fossilizers but man these are so much more cooler. Really hope they dig deep and make as many Junkions as they can out of this.
How cool would it be if we got a garbage truck Junkion using this play pattern? Almost like a TFA Wreck Gar reference. Heck if they wanted too they could call it TFA universe Wreckgar.
JUNKION COMBINER JUNKION COMBINER Man, there is no way we cannot somehow brute force our way a combiner out of this. A combiner HAS to be possible. Also, where is my War Rig. I want me a War Rig.
That large hook does not escape my notice, there absolutely has to be a Lockdown coming in the near future.
Scraphook is really cool, but I'm rather concerned about the Strongarm retool that we can guess will come from this mould. While the vehicle's silhouette is somewhat similar, it's proportions are all wrong and retooling that much of the figure would almost certainly cost too much. I fear that Strongarm is going to have more of a regular pickup alt. mode, instead of the offroad vehicle she's supposed to be.
During Kingdom I guess and yeah, that Sabertooth Fossilizer would be cool. Also, Polar Claw. Don't want that, nobody sane wants that. What people want is the Strongarm that is an actual character.
We need that Crocodillian and Sabertooth Tiger. If we got the tiger we got could have a fossilizer Megazord.
Looks dope! At the barebones description, I was kinda \'meh\'. Now that I\'ve seen it, how can I not? It was around either weaponizers or modulators, some board member said something like, \"Hey, these are cool - they should do junkions like this.\" I can\'t remember who it was, but there is a prophet typing amongst us...
This is my favorite implementation of the weaponizer/modulator/fossilizer idea. It improves upon the main drawback of that system (no real transformation), and fixes it. It also fleshes out a group of existing Transformers that never got much development before. Love it. And Scraphook looks to be a fun start to it.
