Similar to Scraphook, her lower elbow joints are made of a softer plastic, which often causes her arms to pop off when attempting to rotate or transform them, but they're just as easily reattached.

	: Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy: Evolution]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Axlegrease is a [[retool]]ing of [[Scraphook#Toys\|Scraphook]], transforming into a junky, post-apocalyptic muscle car. She includes Scraphook's exhaust pipes and hook, but instead of his towing arm and spare tire, she includes two thrusters which can be used as cannons for her robot mode. Her vehicle engine block splits to form two blasters as well. Similar to Scraphook, her lower-elbow joints are made of a softer plastic, which often causes her arms to pop off when attempting to rotate or transform them, but they're just as easily reattached.		: Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy: Evolution]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Axlegrease is a [[retool]]ing of [[Scraphook#Toys\|Scraphook]], transforming into a junky, post-apocalyptic <strike>version of [[Lockdown]]’s</strike> muscle car.

	: Axlegrease's [[Evo-Fusion]] function is analogous to the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System\|Weaponizer]] gimmick from the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)\|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' toylines: her body splits apart to form armor and weapon enhancements for her allies. Her instructions specifically call out a combined vehicle mode with Crashbar despite being in opposing factions; her vehicle front end is removed, split in half, and attached to Crashbar's saddlebags. Unlike previous figures of this nature, Axlegrease does not need to be disassembled to change from robot to vehicle and back, similar to other ''Legacy'' Junkions.		: Axlegrease's [[Evo-Fusion]] function is analogous to the [[C.O.M.B.A.T.

	: Axlegrease's head sculpt is based on [[Nancy]], while her color scheme is based on the [[Junkion (species)#Shattered Glass\|''Shattered Glass'' Junkions]].<ref>{{citesocial\|name=Mark Maher\|quote=Legacy has been really hitting its stride and I felt the more curveballs I throw yall, the better. I did always appreciate the shattered glass colorway on the junkions for a Decepticon look, but once I had the inverted color idea and saw it on the computer screen, I just fell in love with it. Then I thought, why not a female, checked the archives and realized Nancy was the only named girl in the lore. So I started drawing with the inspiration head crest detail in mind and SHABLAMO! 😍 the team fell in love!\|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/CrYglvPuEao/\|year=2023\|month=04\|day=23\|site=Instagram}}</ref>		: Axlegrease's head sculpt is based on [[Nancy]], while her color scheme is based on the [[Junkion (species)#Shattered Glass\|''Shattered Glass'' Junkions]].<ref>{{citesocial\|name=Mark Maher\|quote=Legacy has been really hitting its stride and I felt the more curveballs I throw yall, the better.

			: For reasons unknown, this assortment basically did not show up at brick-and-mortar stores and there was no second round of online orders available, leaving Axlegrease very difficult to find... [[eBay\|at normal prices, anyway]].
