Mark Maher on Instagram: "I hope everyone had a stellar holiday break! We are jumping back in on some more behind the scenes for the newest junkion cadet, the bruiser, SCRAPHOOK!!! . The idea that just kept coming up when we were going to kick off the new year in Generations, was combining the fantastic success of the weaponizer build program that started in WFC and merging it with the junkion ability that was showcased in the 86 animated movie. No brainer right!! . The ability to be able to fuse together not only robot peices but extend that cool capability to the vehicle modes is certainly an amazing Evolution- Fusion ahem…An Evo-Fusion thats worthy of being the special feature for this amazing Generations toyline! The team discussed so many possibilities and ideas before reaching out to the magnificent @marcelomatere and the dynamic @artguy101 for some sweet concepts of our new junkion characters. . After many conversations with our team and our amazing partners at Takara Tomy we got approvals from our leadership team and we were off and running! Special shout out goes to Ejima san for figuring out how we can transform these guys without partsforming them, that was a huge ask from me and I think it really set these guys apart from the other weaponizers, fossilizers, etc. . Check out some of the images that were used to get this idea off the ground and into the hands of our great fans! The capabilities here for customizing and building are endless! So much fun to be had, and so many beatdowns to decepticreeps with this new junkion cadet whose elbow hook drop and his junkpile driver move is unstoppable. . But the question really is, how did this guy lose an eye!?!? . I cant wait for all of you to see the rest of the crew and for all of you to get this guy in hand for a play session. Also, make sure you notice all of the asymmetrical parts on this guy, somthing that doesn’t happen very often in TF and there are some definite cool sculpt details added to go along with this rusted, spiked, post apocalyptic style. The junk is alive!!!! Muhhhahahahhahah!"

Happy to get another news post especially one that does show us a BTS and not just photos of the figure as is. Feel like we haven’t had one truely like that since Pointblank.

Also that grey hummer/suv like drawing of Scraphook looks badass.

 

Stop the press, who is that?

 

The-Scraphook-that-shall-not-be

 

Reading what Mark posted I think it’s a early sketch of what Scraphook could have looked like.

I hope maybe we can still get that design made as another Junkion.

 

Trash Impactor

 

You know now that you say that if we got it or still do I wouldn’t say no to a retool into IDW Requiem Of The Wreckers SUV Impactor.

 

I wish that was Detritus!

 

GIMME!!!!

 

I love it!!

 

Scraphook is cool and all but I wish we'd gotten the grey one. If it was made as a Voyager it could be great as CHUG TFP Breakdown.

 

These are nice concepts but I wish we got that grey SUV one

 

Repaint / retool potential?????

 

Vicky Vale.


Because someone had to say it XD

 

It would be cool to have those other designs like other junkions

 

I like Batman

 

Indeed, ngl now that I think about it, I did read that in Nichelson Joker's voice.

 

Here\'s hoping we get that grey dude eventually 

 

I can see this can be redeco into Legacy Strongarm too.
