![]() ![]() Partially recolored versions of the Junkheap robot CGI models are used in The Last Knight to represent generic Cybertronians during the film's prologue. ![]() The robot modes for Junkheap's components were revealed on Waste Management's Instagram account.According to Hasbro's brand panel at BotCon 2014, 'stinky plastic' was briefly considered for Junkheap's toy, but the notion was vetoed for cost reasons.Despite a prominent scanning scene and the presence of an identical truck at the site of Sam and Starscreams battle, Garagebot never appears again after the Washington D.C. This sculpt was also used to make Adventure Junkion. Before assuming the form of a garbage truck, Garagebot resembled Long Haul, stripped of all identifiable vehicle parts. To make matters even worse, he was only included in one wave alongside the other two new Power Battlers figures, Vehicon and High Octane Bumblebee, while a revision of said wave that includes Vehicon and Bumblebee but lacks Junkheap was actually stocked by online retailers first, with some never even bothering to list the wave that includes Junkheap. Junkheap was only available in Hasbro's Asian markets, and from US-based online retailers and discount stores like Ross, T.J.Maxx and Five Below. However, as a tail-ender for the Power Battlers assortment, Junkheap eventually fell victim to "tail end of the line" syndrome, and wasn't officially released until much later than initially planned, not helped by a massive slowdown at US West Coast docks caused by union action. The figure (as well as the back of the packaging) sports the logo of Waste Management, and was initially heavily promoted as the result of a cooperation, with the toy's alternate mode revealed on the official Transformers Facebook page as part of a celebration of Earth Day. His "Claw Crush!" action feature is a chomping claw which can be activated in both modes embedded in his chest for robot, or in the back of the bin when in vehicle mode. Junkheap is based on his largest, green component robot, but transforms into an entire garbage truck. At some point, they presumably played with Seymour Simmons and Topspin. At least two Junkheap units were known to be residing in Cuba, where they would play friendly games of volleyball. Several of these Cybertronians sought to embrace their freedom by allying with the Autobots, albeit without directly defecting to them. In Hong Kong, a yellow Junkheap unit and a green Junkheap unit got into a fight, with a white Junkheap unit left mostly standing by before finally joining in. During this time, many Decepticons of Junkheap's body-type were left to their own devices in Megatron's absence. In the years that followed after the battle of Hong Kong, Transformers became illegal immigrants, as more of them made their way to Earth. ![]() The green and yellow Junkheaps were also destroyed by Hound. In the ensuing fight, Hound used a K-Bar knife to stab the white Junkheap in the head. Along with the other drones, Junkheap stormed Hong Kong to track down the Seed, splitting into his components to cover more ground.
