'''Junkions''' are a tribe (or possibly race) of Transformers that inhabit the planetoid also known as [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]]. Their historical origin is unclear, although some sources imply that they may indeed be descended from Cybertronians. {{storylink|More Than Meets The Eye|MTMTE guidebooks}}

They have very unique physiology, seemingly made of little more than the same rusted scraps of trash metal that compose their homeworld. They are capable of not only withstanding damage that would normally incapacitate or kill the average Transformer, but quickly repairing that damage using any pieces of scrap metal they can get their hands on. A Junkion may even be reduced to a pile of parts, only to come back at their enemy less than a minute later. Junkions in battle are utterly fearless, using tag-team and ambush tactics to keep mobile while swarming their opponents ''en masse''.

They are also expert mechanics, even able to repair with remarkable ease Transformers normal medical science would write off as dead. ''How'' the Junkions have developed in this manner has yet to be explained.

Junkion culture is centered on one thing: [[Earth]] broadcasting. Their speech is a hodgepodge of television and radio clippings, making them oftentimes hard to understand. Junkions as a whole are somewhat childlike and naive. They are curious, but also tend to be wary of, if not outright hostile towards, newcomers to their planet (far too many have come with the goal of harming their world), but once a Junkion's friendship is gained, they go "coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs" and treat their allies as Friends For Life. As such, they are instinctively protective of [[human]]s, the source of [[television]].

After having come in contact with the [[Autobot]]s, the Junkions have become known as some of the best scrap metal merchants and traders around. Even [[Octane|some]] [[Gutcruncher|Decepticon]]s make use of their services. The Junkions are all too happy to exchange [[energon]] for more scrap metal... even if they don't think to ask just ''where'' the scrap metal came from.

Known named Junkions include...

*[[Detritus]]
*[[Nancy]]
*[[Wreck-Gar]]

==Trivia==
* According to a history trailer featured at the end of various Season 3 episodes, the Junkions are a "tribe of Autobots that dwells on the planet Junkion", ostensibly cementing their place as Transformers.
* In [[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II, part 3|''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II'', part 3]], the [[Dreadnoks]], a [[Cobra]] biker gang, are shown to ride motorcycles that look just like the Junkions. The Dreadnoks claim to have found their new bikes in a junkyard at some point. No indication is given that the bikes are living Transformers, leaving it simply an [[Easter egg]] for the reader.
* In [[Transformers (2007)|the movie]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s [[Megatron (Movie)|damaged]] voice unit means that he can only speak in radio broadcasts, possibly in [[homage]] to the Junkions.

Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya

2008-05-24T02:42:59Z

203.217.74.93:

:''Carbombya is a [[human]] state in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[image:Carbombya_Marker.jpg|thumb|right|300px|This is [[canon]], people. This is sooooooo canon.]]

The '''Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya''' is a kingdom located in the Sahara Desert region of the continent of [[Africa]] on the planet [[Earth]]. It has a coastline, with foreign ships that venture too close to it often being fired upon. This intensely xenophobic state is ruled by [[Abdul Fakkadi]], and apparently derives most of its wealth from particularly fine oil. The people are often heard swearing on the lives of their mother's camels and so forth. This is of course <strike>hilarious</strike> offensively stereotypical.

Its city of Carbombya City, population 4,000 (and 10,000 camels), is presumably the capital.

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
[[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] hid out in Carbombya, cleverly disguised as ordinary military jets that just happened to look exactly like Dirge and Ramjet, until they were discovered by [[Blaster]] and [[Outback]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1|FFOD, Part 1}}

Later, the population of Carbombya became so stereotypical that [[Casey Kasem|Teletraan I broke]]. Fortunately, [[Autobot City]] had the [[Teletraan II]] computer. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

===''Legends'' anthology===
''[[Two for the Price of One]]'' by [[Brandie Tarvin]]

{{-}}
==Trivia==
* Carbombya is sometimes spelled ''Carbombia'', consistently so in ''Two for the Price of One''. In the script for ''Five Faces of Darkness'', it was spelled ''Karbomia''. The correct spelling, used here, is of course the one that makes the horrible pun most overt. Yay?
* [[Casey Kasem]], the Lebanese-descended voice actor for [[Teletraan-1]], left the show because of the inherent stereotypes of Carbomya.
