I'm the Trashmaster! I come out, I throw trash all over- all over the ring! And then, I start eating gahbage!

You guys need a wrestler... we should take the Trashmaster out of retirement!

Released in the seventh wave of Legacy Voyagers, Trashmaster transforms into a post-apocalyptic garbage truck. He includes a large shovel claw weapon, which can be held in robot mode, and serves as an opening trash loading hopper in truck mode. As a Legacy Junkion, his Evo-Fusion function is analogous to the Weaponizer gimmick from the War for Cybertron Trilogy toylines: his body splits apart to form armor and weapon enhancements for his allies, though he can transform without partsforming.

He can mix and match parts with his fellow Legacy Junkions. With Trashmaster's reveal, designer Mark Maher also showcased Junkasaurus, a dinosaur-shaped combiner that can be made with Trashmaster and the previously released Junkions.

Trashmaster is the first Voyager Class figure to utilize the Weaponizer format. However, compared to the Deluxe scale Junkions from the same line, Trashmaster cannot be entirely disassembled in the same fashion; only his legs and parts of his truck kibble can detach from the main body.

Trashmastr's Claw weapon is fairly heavy, there are reports that in at least some figures his shoulder joints are not strong enough to hold his arms up while holding it.
