Junkasaurus is something of a LEGO-style "example build" utilizing all three Weaponizer-style Junkion molds from the Legacy: Evolution toyline to make one big rusty, exhaust-snortin' lizard. The build brings to bear the full potential of the additional mass and heftier joints afforded by Trashmaster as the historic first Voyager Class 'izer to create a monstrous torso and thighs, with the help of all five figures' accessories-turned-combiner kibble. Trashmaster's enormous clamp weapon in particular is revealed as the beast's head. The limbs rather surprisingly display little in the way of partsforming as Scraphook and Axlegrease become digitigrade legs and the arms are formed by Crashbar and... what appears to be a second Crashbar test shot Hasbro designer Mark Maher had on hand.
The resulting combination is mostly for show rather than action. Due to its precarious structure and being ridiculously unbalanced, Junkasaurus has little to no articulation, and is very prone to coming undone as it is held together completely by tension rather than any kind of locking mechanisms. Attempting to pose Junkasaurus will more than likely result in it falling flat on its face. Though, due to the modular nature of Junkasarus's components, potentially more stable alternate builds are attemptable.
Junkasaurus was first teased as "something pre-planned" for Trashmaster's debut by Maher and marketer Ben MacCrae on the June 20, 2023 Hasbro Pulse Fanstream[2] and subsequently unveiled on Maher's Instagram story that evening.

Notes

[edit]
  • Given Maher's use of two of the same guy and the way Junkions generally roll, it is a pretty safe bet that Junkasaurus is intended to be formed from whomever of the three Legacy Junkion body types happens to be around, Revenge of the Fallen Devastator-style, rather than a classical fixed roster.
