Age of the Primes
- Junkion Jalopy (Deluxe Class, 2026)
- 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 Deluxes, "Junkion Jalopy" is... well, they're technically just a redeco, but not of a single toy. The main base is the Legacy: Evolution Axlegrease mold, itself a retooling of Scraphook, transforming into a scrap-parts roadster. However, they use the head from the Buzzworthy Bumblebee Tow-Line retooling of Scraphook.
- Their accessories are also a mix of parts from the two mold-sets. They retain Axlegrease's twin rear thrusters/cannons and the two-part engine-block/blasters, and the exhaust pipes shared by both mold-sets, but also has Scraphook/Tow-Line's spiked spare tire.
- 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.
