- 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]
- As the fourth deluxe Weaponizer Junkion, following the three from 2023’s Legacy: Evolution, Jalopy finally makes it possible to form Junkasaurus from a non-duplicating team of Junkions.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Jalopy (ジャロピー Jaropī)
