Junkheap is one of the numerous
Junkions that inhabit the planet of Junk. The figure is an homage to the Marvel
UK character, Junkyard. The figure itself uses the Wreck-Gar mold from the
Generations line with some color swaps and a retooled head. It turns out that
the UK
“United” line has also added a Junkion to its ranks, Scrapheap. Like Junkheap,
Scrapheap also sports a new paint scheme and head retool. 3 Junkions in total!
But, if you want to get ALL 3, you’ll have to surf eBay or order from toy sites
that carry the overseas lines.
Like all Junkions, Junkheap speaks in a
mixture of bits and pieces of lines, catchphrases, and slogans that he and his
fellow Junkions learned from watching Earth television. Junkheap does surprisingly
have a bit of back-story. Not so much from the cartoons… he could easily be any
of the Junkions roaming around… but from the Marvel UK comic line. He worked
with the intergalactic bounty hunter Death’s Head and acted as a contact for
Rodimus Prime. Junkheap is a salesman of sorts; the public face for Junk when
other races come looking for bits and pieces of parts and things that they
might not find otherwise anywhere else in the galaxy. Junkheap sells them
whatever they might need from the flotsam, jetsam, and detritus that is the
planet of Junk.
As a comparison, here is Wreck-Gar's painted motorcycle form:
Now some money shots!
I have to give Hasbro tons of credit for planning this. Providing notches in the seat of the motorcycle for a junkion to snap into!
And apparently, Junkheap is easier to transform than Wreck-Gar:
