Junkions have never been my thing, but I am very happy that it's not all the Wreck-Gar Fits All approach that both Hasbro and 3Ps seemed to love in the past.
I like this one because it's a very unique motorcycle transformation.

The Junkions are not for me anyway, but that one is giving me flashbacks to the horror of United Wreck-Gar thanks to the shiny flame-decoed tank on the leg.

DELUXEF7191 Scraphook (Junkion 1) EAN: 5010994196974

F7199 Junkion 3
F7202 Detritus (Junkion 4?) VOYAGERF7209 Junkion EAN: 5010996149671 Ah ****. Doing the Product Number spreadsheet - Scraphook is the previously known Junkion 1 btw - and just realised *WHY* the Junkions have numbers and there's a Voyager as well as FOUR deluxe ..... Are you implying a Junkion Combiner? Got Scraphook yesterday. It's not obvious from all the pictures, but his feet have huge flat heel spurs. In vehicle mode the feet form the front and the heel spurs are under the body of the front of the vehicle. The feet can fold out, allowing Scraphook to be securely stood on the front of the vehicle. At the back of the vehicle is a 5mm peg hole. He's a leg. Will get a photo |

A leg that connects using a 5mm port?

Yup. As per core and Weaponisers |

Scraphook is great, some really clever things in the TF without being insanely frustrating. Love it.

How much of him is solid? Does he come apart totally like the weaponisers or does he have a solid torso?

He comes apart completely but the torso is interesting

Doesn't look like a leg to me.

It's from the knee down, like a Combiner Wars toy.

Exactly. The knee joint will be on the Voyager, ala Weaponiser Airwave
I suspect that the exhaust pipe accessories here may pin on the sides of the combined mode head.
I was going to ask on Monday if I needed to be buying multiples of these ala weaponisers and modulators but I'm pretty sure I do now

If phil is right, and I don't think he is because phil sees combiners in everything... but if he's right, then this will be the most structurally weak combiner ever. A voyager and several deluxes held together by single 5mm posts? -shudders-
That thing wouldn't even be able to stand.

What you need to think about here is how the Hasbro team got so excited by the gestalt figures fans made by combining the weaponisers. They are really into the way fans bought multiple figures to create huge figures that looked cool but had no way to move. It will be possible to make a Junkion combiner from the figures because they work in the same way, that's going to happen for sure. The question is whether the voyager will also be part of this or if it's a Wreck-Gar remould. There could be intention to help fans create a Junkion Combiner by giving more options in the design, like Phil finding a leg in Scraphook, but it isn't going to be a Combiner Wars type attachment system, it'll just be born of the way the Weaponisers can be combined together.

I'm not sure it's just a 5mm peg hole that would be doing all the work....

I have hated them since 1986. Only the Junkions and that crap song about mashed potatoes mar an otherwise perfect feature film experience.
