'''Junkions''' are a tribe (or possibly race) of [[Transformer|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 [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronians]]. {{storylink|More Than Meets The Eye (G1)|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 [[Death|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|humans]], the source of [[television]].

After having come in contact with the [[Autobot|Autobots]], the Junkions have become known as some of the best scrap metal merchants and traders around. Even [[Octane|some]] [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Decepticons]] make use of their services. The Junkions are all too happy to exchange [[Energon (fuel)|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 (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] (leader)
*Scrapheap
*Rubbish
*Ashtray
*Re-Cycle
*Hazmat
*Trashbin
*Wasteoid Gamma
*Greasestain

There's also the [[Junkion trader]] who is named Junkyard.

When a group of [[Autobot|Autobots]] crashlanded on their planet, the Junkions saw them as nothing but intruding thieves. Without warning, Wreck-Gar and his Junkions led an assault on them, but they soon halted when another group of Autobots arrived and proved their friendliness with the [[universal greeting]]. Pacified, the Junkions revived the late [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and promptly organized a dance party for everyone.

When [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] voiced his desire to destroy [[Unicron]], the Junkions did not hesitate to join him, and a large number of them boarded the [[Junkion ship|Minnow]] with which to attack the dark god. The Minnow was crushed in Unicron's hand in the following battle, but luckily the passengers survived (at the very least, Wreck-Gar and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] did). {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

Even worse, the Junkions got the bright idea to ''share'' these transmissions, beaming them out in the galaxy and causing sentient races everywhere to fight eachother.

Junkyard (G1)

:''Junkyard is a [[Junkion]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:Junkion trader-model colored.png|thumb|250px|]]
'''Junkyard''' is the public face of [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]] commerce. When other civilizations come to buy used and refurbished components, more likely than not they find themselves opposite his cheerful patter and easy smile.

Unlike most Junkions, whose ''[[Wikipedia:non sequitur|non sequitur]] laced'' speech pattern is virtually unintelligible to outsiders, Junkyard limits himself to references whose meaning remains clear even to the uninitiated, and has sometimes (when stressed) even been known to speak in plain '''English'''!

Junkyard is notably good at identifying the needs of his customers in order to forge lifelong business relationships, as well as being a skilled technician. Direct combat is ''not'' his forte.

{{note|There have been shown to be 2 Junkions of this identical design, 'course there are at least 3 ''Wreck-Gar''s, so....}}

{{quote|A day without scrap metal is like a ''breakfast'' without ''sunshine!''|The [[Junkion trader]] loves his job|"[[Starscream's Ghost]]"}}
{{quote|I — I can '''pay!''' If you know of the Junkions, you must know we're among the '''richest''' traders in the galaxy!|Junkyard|The Legacy of Unicron!|Marvel UK #146]]}}

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====The Transformers: The Movie====
Junkyard was among Wreck-Gar's war party that attacked the Autobots, initially in motorcycle mode. His rider attacked [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] with an axe, she retaliated by using a rotating scythe, which sent them tumbling head-over-heels and ripped off Junkyard's arm. He restored the damage and returned to the chase.

{{note|There is an odd animation error here... the trader is struck in ''vehicle'' mode, lands in ''robot mode'' (with his rider now vehicle mode) then transformers back into vehicle mode to leave. Yet his robot injury remains consistent with the damage Arcee inflicted on his vehicle mode!}}

[[Image:Tftf trader-bestcustomerserviceever.jpg|thumb|"You could call it ''raising the dead'', but I prefer to call it ''raising the bar on customer service.''"]]
Junkyard was standing behind Wreck-Gar when the [[Autobot]] [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] made parley with the Junkions via the [[Universal greeting]], and took part in a spontaneous song-and-dance sequence to celebrate the alliance. After, he led a small group which gathered the remains of the fallen [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and restored him to life.

{{note|Junkyard and his friends actually appear to attach Ultra Magnus's legs ''backwards.'' (see right) No subsequent shot in the movie ''contradicts'' this, and it ''would'' explain why Magnus seems to stumble when he first comes back online...}}

Wreck-Gar was speaking to Junkyard when Hot Rod's question about Galvatron's location resulted in the wildly popular decision to "destroy Unicron." The trader was with Wreck-Gar on the bridge of the [[Junkion ship|Minnow]] when Unicron crushed it. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

====Season 3====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Jerry Houser]] (english)
some time later, the exiled [[Decepticon]] [[Octane]] traveled the [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]] to pick up a load of used components, intending to transport them to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Junkyard's cheerful, garrulous demeanor irritated Octane, whom believed (based on past experience with the trader) was trying to sell him more merchandise than he could actually transport. After being bid a friendly goodbye, Octane declared Junkyard a "jerk" under his breath and made a racial slur against all Junkions. {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost}}

{{charstubfiction}}
{{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

===Marvel UK comics===
Junkyard approached the <strike>bounty hunter</strike> ''freelance peace-keeper'' [[Death's Head (G1)|Death's Head]] during a pursuit on the Planet of Junk, attempting to hire him to liberate his people, who had fallen under the thrall of [[Unicron]]. Junkyard told Deaths Head he shouldn't terminate his prey (renegade Decepticons [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]) if they could be used against Unicron, citing the old Junkion saying "Never waste '''raw materials'''."

Under Deaths Head's direction Junkyard pretended to be one of the enthralled workforce and lay high explosives around Unicron's <strike>foothold</strike> headhold on the planet. However as the trader approached Unicron, his mind was snared by Unicron's control and he was unable to lay the explosives. When Cyclonus and Scourge launched a diversionary attack, he broke free and attempted to warn off Death's Head. Unicron destroyed him for his trouble. {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!|Marvel UK #146}}

{{note|Unicron claimed the Junkion had always been under his control, but this makes very little sense internal to the story. Despite being extremely dead here, even by Junkion standards, Junkyard (or his double) will show up again later...}}

[[Image:Muk184 trader-snrk.jpg|thumb|Lying to Americans is so much ''fun''... hard to keep a straight face!]]
A few months later, Junkyard was present when [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] tried to contact [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]] for information about the missing [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]], who had been abducted by the Quintessons. Junkyard had a hard time keeping a straight face as they blew smoke up Rodimus's demands for information, smirking smugly at his overacting comrade.{{storylink|Space Pirates!|Space Pirates!, part 3}}

Shortly thereafter, Junkyard and his friend were waiting for Wreck-Gar on a small asteroid in the [[Delta six Quadrant]]. The Junkions had intercepted the [[Quintesson Journal]] (lobbed in their direction by the missing Wreck-Gar) some time ago) and had completed a jerry-rigged setup to relay its contents via the [[Junkion World Service]].{{storylink|Space Pirates!|Space Pirates!, part 5}}

The journal, documenting the Quintessons far-reaching plans of conquest for ''hundreds'' of inhabited worlds, utterly ruined the Quintessons reputation in the galaxy. Make you wanna grin, doesn't it? {{storylink|Space Pirates!|Space Pirates!, part 6}}

==Trivia==
*Junkyard is one of two non-[[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] Junkions to have a full [[character model]] <small>(including alternate mode)</small> developed for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Both are present in almost every Junkion crowd scene.
* The [[Transformers_Universe_(Marvel_comic)#Issue_.234|1986 profile book series]] identified this character's design as "Junkion 1" and his compatriot as "Junkion 2."
* Over time, "Junkion 1" has consistently been shown conducting or discussing trade with non-Junkions, probably because his design is the 'friendlier' of the two.
* The name Junkyard comes from the [[Complete Ark]] books.
* It is also a name for a G.I. Joe.

Even [[Octane|some]] [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Decepticons]] make use of their services. The Junkions are all too happy to exchange [[Energon (fuel)|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 (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] (leader)
*Junkyard
*Scrapheap
*Rubbish
*Ashtray
*Re-Cycle
*Hazmat
*Trashbin
*Wasteoid Gamma
*Greasestain

There's also the unnamed [[Junkion trader]].

==Fiction==
===Cartoon continuity===
When a group of [[Autobot|Autobots]] crashlanded on their planet, the Junkions saw them as nothing but intruding thieves. Without warning, Wreck-Gar and his Junkions led an assault on them, but they soon halted when another group of Autobots arrived and proved their friendliness with the [[universal greeting]]. Pacified, the Junkions revived the late [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and promptly organized a dance party for everyone.

When [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] voiced his desire to destroy [[Unicron]], the Junkions did not hesitate to join him, and a large number of them boarded the [[Junkion ship|Minnow]] with which to attack the dark god. The Minnow was crushed in Unicron's hand in the following battle, but luckily the passengers survived (at the very least, Wreck-Gar and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] did). {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

Two Junkions came with Wreck-Gar when he travelled to planet [[Goo]] to save his Autobot friends. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} The exiled Decepticon [[Octane]] later worked with Junkions to freight scrapmetal between their planet to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost}} The defensive Junkions later chased off a number of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]] that had landed on their planet in search of a [[Quintesson]] [[Quintesson Journal|journal]]. In response, the Quintessons hijacked the Junkions' precious television signals, planting subliminal messages that caused the Junkions to consider all other races to be their enemies. Even worse, the Junkions got the bright idea to ''share'' these transmissions, beaming them out in the galaxy and causing sentient races everywhere to fight eachother. The brainwashed Junkions were eventually fixed when [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] countered the transmissions with some of his own. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

A few Junkions were seen residing in [[Iron Town]]. {{storylink|The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber}}

''Following the destruction of Unicron, his still living head floated into range of the planet Junk, and using his vast mental powers he took control of the entire Junkion population. Planning to use Junk as his new body, Unicron ordered the Junkions to attach his head to the planet. His plot failed when Wreck-Gar, who had been off in space at the time Unicron took control, planted explosives benath his head and blew him up.'' {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!|The Legacy of Unicron!}}

===''Transformers Legends'' anthology===
The Junkions did not take kindly to the [[Recyclon|Recyclons]] intending to recycle their planet into energon. After [[Salvage (Recyclon)|Salvage]] damaged Wreck-Gar, the Junkions swarmed the intruders and forced them to retreat into space. Down but not out, the Recyclons decided to fire the [[Prime Processing Unit]] to recycle the entire planet from orbit, but the Junkions fired a tractor beam in return, sending [[Reclamation|their ship]] crashing violently into Junk. Salvage was the sole survivor, his last sight alive being a group of Junkions moving in on him. {{storylink|Collect and Save}}

==Trivia==
[[Image:Dreadnokcyborgs2.jpg|right|150px|thumb|]]
* According to [[Secret Files of Teletraan II|secret file on Autobots]], 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 issue 3|''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #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.
*It's probably a good idea to just not mess with the Junkions, as everyone who does seems to die.
*A bunch of Junkions were named in the [[Complete Ark]] book.

Revenge (G1)

2009-09-09T01:53:28Z

67.104.54.35:

:''The Revenge is a [[Starships|starship]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Galvatron ship.jpg|right|250px|thumb|To infinity and beyoooond!]]

The '''Revenge''' is a mighty warship granted to [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] by [[Unicron]]. It has a pretty good success rate of blowing up [[Autobot shuttle|Autobot shuttles]].

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon===
[[Image:TFTM Decepticonshipbridge.jpg|left|250px|thumb|For a big ship, it sure looks cramped.]]
The Revenge was given to Galvatron by Unicron shortly after the former was reformatted from the broken body of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. The Revenge ferried Galvatron back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where he seized the reins of [[Decepticon]] command from the treacherous [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. After the Decepticons attacked [[Autobot City]] on [[Earth]] for the second time, the Revenge pursued two fleeing Autobot shuttles commanded by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]], successfully forcing one shuttle to crash on [[Quintessa|a strange, twisted world]] and apparently destroying Magnus's shuttle.

When Galvatron dared challenge Unicron with the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the Chaos Bringer attacked Cybertron. The Revenge was crushed by Unicron in the subsequent battle. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

In 2006, the Revenge scored another victory against the Autobots by blasting [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]]'s shuttle and forcing the crew to make an emergency landing at the [[Autobot Mausoleum]]. {{storylink|Dark Awakening}}

In the year 2007, the Revenge was used during Galvatron's attack on Autobot City after the end of the [[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2|short-lived truce]] between the two factions. After the key to the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]] was secured, the Decepticons made their getaway in the Revenge. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} After the devastating attack on Cybertron, the Revenge was used by [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], and a squad of Decepticons to pursue some wayward Autobots to the planet [[Nebulos]]. While parked there, it was destroyed by the newly created Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

==Notes==
[[Image:Rebirth-ConShipOnNebulos.jpg|right|180px|thumb|What the heck? Did they do a trade-in along the way?]]
*The ship is never given a name in the show, but Galvatron does refer to it as "the mothership" at the start of "[[The Rebirth, Part 1]]" episode. The name comes from the Complete Ark
* We do not actually see the ship created; it slips out of an opening near the equatorial section of Unicron.
* It is consistent with other Decepticon ships in the Generation 1 cartoon, in that it is completely purple and has a purple afterburner.
* Among its arsenal are torpedoes, multiple cannons (presumably lasers), and [[Moleculon missile|moleculon missiles]].
* Although the Revenge is drawn with its normal model during the attack on Autobot City and its subsequent sojourn to Cybertron in the first part of ''The Rebirth'', it looks entirely different once it lands on Nebulos. It's possible Cyclonus and friends used some ''other'' Decepticon ship to make the trip, but the Revenge is never seen again after this ship's destruction...
