Trashmaster

Trashmaster is an Autobot Junkion Weaponizer from the Legacy portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

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

Trashmaster takes out the trash while quoting his favorite Earth wrestlers from errant broadcasts! He can form the torso and head of Junkasaurus.

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: Evolution 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-sized Junkions from the same line, Trashmaster has the fewest number of parts that can be detached, leaving a massive chunk of torso.
