- 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]
- Age of the Primes "Junkion Jalopy" is a redeco of Legacy: Evolution Axlegrease, in turn a retooling of Scraphook, using the head from the Tow-Line tooling. Jalopy includes two exhaust pipes, Scraphook's spiked shield and Axlegrease's two thrusters that can be used as cannons, but doesn't come with her hook weapon. The vehicle mode engine block splits to form two blasters as well. As with the original tooling, Jalopy's lower elbow joints are made of a softer plastic, which often causes the arms to pop off when attempting to rotate or transform them, but they're just as easily reattached. Again, due to said softer plastic, it's generally impossible for the figure to wield medium-to-larger weapons unless the arms are raised horizontally to the front.
- Being a redeco/retool of the Scraphook/Axlegrease mold, Jalopy retains the Evo-Fusion function gimmick, analogous to the Weaponizer gimmick from the War for Cybertron Trilogy toylines: Jalopy's body splits apart to form armor and weapon enhancements for their allies. Unlike previous figures of this nature, Jalopy does not need to be disassembled to change from robot to vehicle and back, similar to other Legacy Junkions.
- This version of the mold was also used to make Legacy: United Star Raider Lockdown.
