[edit]In the UK version of the story, the events of "The Big Broadcast of 2006" are a fabrication invented by Wreck-Gar.
Wreck-Gar and his "Junkion Lady" were enjoying their favourite pastime, watching Earth television broadcasts together, when their soiree was interrupted by a school of Sharkticons descending upon their world and clumsily mucking up the place. After the Junkions had driven off the invaders, Wreck-Gar rejoined his Lady in front of the television set, watching until the day's broadcast came to an end. The couple slept on their thrones, and awakened the next morning to find a gift from an anonymous benefactor: a new television set! Unbeknownst to them, this set had been left by the Quintessons, and transmitted a subliminal message. By watching its broadcasts, the Junkions rendered themselves extremely hostile to outsiders, and became compelled to organize all of the garbage on their world. But when a scuffle between the Autobots and the Quintessons broke out in Junkion's orbit, the influencing message being beamed inside the Junkions' heads was modified, prompting them to send the signal back out into space. This brought to Junkion many other combatants, ultimately resulting in the destruction of the Quintessons' gift. The Junkions then attacked one of the aggressors, Galvatron, in unison, driving him and his Decepticons off-world. The Big Broadcast of 2006
