Toys
Age of the Primes
- Junkion Jalopy (Deluxe Class, 2026)
- TakaraTomy name: Junkion Jalopy (ジャンキオンジャロピー)
- TakaraTomy ID number: AOTP-27
- TakaraTomy release date: 2026 March 28
- Accessories: Left & right engine block halves/blasters, left & right exhaust pipes, left & right thrusters, spiked shield
- Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro), Marcelo Matere (concept artist)[1]
- Part of the fourth wave of Age of the Primes Deluxe Class toys, "Junkion Jalopy" is... well, technically just a redeco, but not of a single toy. The main base is from the Legacy: Evolution Axlegrease, itself a retool of Scraphook from the same line, transforming into a scrap-parts roadster in 17 steps. However, he still comes with the wheel shield from Scraphook, and uses the head from Buzzworthy Bumblebee Tow-Line. Jalopy is the first version of the mold to not come with the hook.
- Jalopy retains the Evo-Fusion function gimmick, analogous to the Weaponizers from the War for Cybertron Trilogy toylines: Jalopy's body splits apart to form 5 mm-compatible armor, weapon, or vehicle parts for other toys. Unlike previous figures of this nature, Jalopy does not need to be disassembled to change from robot to vehicle and back.
- This version of the mold body was also used to make Legacy: United Star Raider Lockdown.
Notes
- Jalopy was borne out of fan requests to have Axlegrease in the same colors as the other Studio Series / Legacy Junkions.[1]
Foreign names
- Japanese: Jalopy (ジャロピー Jaropī)
