"Yeah, Destroy Unicron! Kill the grand poohbah! Eliminate even the toughest stain." ~Wreck Gar commanding the Junkions. Welcome and today we visit the latest 86 series release, Junkheap. Without delay, let's get started!
Boxing
Like the Legacy line, there is no clear plastic in front of the box. Additionally, like 86 Perceptor, Junkheap comes with two of the same backdrops; one just omits the 86 advertisement and the standing platform. The back of the box states that he helped repair/rebuild Ultra Magnus.
Junkheap
Junkheap in the flesh. JH uses off the same mold as 86 Wreck-Gar. Despite paint differences, the notable differences in JH is
- Head sculpt (ears can swivel backwards)
- Panels on the forearms ( a rifle attached on the left side. Both panels can swivel as well)
- New info on the deltoid area such as yellow stripes and spikes etc...
- Forearms are more flat shaped with rectangular indents and horseshoe ends. Wreck-gar had oval shaped forearms but with square ends.
- New designs on the chest notably the pipes which replace the nipple cannons that was introduced on Wreck-Gar.
JH plays the same like Wreck-Gar though he is a bit more fun because he has a blaster on his left panel. Because of this panel though, it's difficult to peg in the wheels in that area. The panels can function as shield as well. You can plug it in loosely but it won't stick overall especially if you move him around. Joints are tight and he has a waist swivel. He looks good overall. I do like the paint and overall scheme. It's nice to have another Junkion that isn't WG for once. I know he was done on the Generations line but maybe I'll explore that one someday.
Alt mode
I actually forgot how to transform this guy. It took me a while but as you can see he is almost similar to that of Wreck-Gar; same transformation. The weapon placements and locking mechanism are identical as well. The cool thing is now you can flip the gun panel forward and use it as a gun. Oh, I forgot to mention earlier that the wheels I got here are perfect. In my WG review, some of the wheels were chipped and suffered paint loss. It's fine over here. If you like WG's alt mode, you will like JH's mode here as well.
With Wreck-Gar
Here he is with 86 Wreck-Gar. As I mentioned earlier that the wheels don't stick well on JH's forearms. That is an advantage for WG because he can utilize JH's wheels and stick it on all the spike ends with ease.
They both play almost alike with the only difference, for the most part, is the gun panel on JH. I do like WG's flame decals on the alt mode whereas JH's is just play grey.

Conclusion:
Well, if you finally want to troop build without buying too much WG's, then JH will do. At least he looks different. He plays identical to WG with the exception of the panels on both arms which supplements some extra fun. This guy will add nicely to your 86 line and help complete your motorcycle gang. Laters and take care folks. Thank you for stopping by.
