Scrapheap is a Junkion. He's around.

Scrapheap is one of the Junkions whose models are seen multiple times at once in various stories. It is therefore impossible to tell which model appearances represent Scrapheap and which represent "Scrapheap doubles", so for ease, they are all listed on this page.

Oh, he's definitely an autumn.

Scrapheap was among Wreck-Gar's war party that attacked the Autobots. As he rode another Junkion, he used a chain lasso to try to bring Springer down out of the air, but Springer was able to subvert Scrapheap's attack by pulling him off his ride. Despite this setback, Scrapheap and his motorcycle transformed and changed positions, resuming their advance.

Scrapheap was standing behind Wreck-Gar when the Autobot Hot Rod made parley with the Junkions via the Universal greeting, and took part in a spontaneous song-and-dance sequence to celebrate the alliance. The Transformers: The Movie

Scrapheap was among the Junkions hypnotized by the Quintessons' subliminal messages and helped fight off various groups of (perceived) intruders until the Quintessons' practices were put to an end. The Big Broadcast of 2006

Victory cartoon

Scrapheap was in Iron Town when it was attacked by the Decepticon desperadoes. Luckily, Star Saber was there too, to save the day. The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber

Marvel UK future timelines

Scrapheap came under the thrall of Unicron when his head landed on the planet of Junk. He was put on guard duty to protect the work on a new body for the Chaos Bringer by the other Junkions. He discovered the trio of Wreck-Gar, Smokescreen and Inferno when they were observing the proceedings and preparing to put an end to it. Scrapheap revealed himself, stating that all intruders had to be eliminated, but before he could do so, Wreck-Gar axed him in the chest. Checking on him, Wreck-Gar concluded that Scrapheap had died, fuelling the Junkion leader's determination to stop Unicron. The Legacy of Unicron!

"The Legacy of Unicron!" leaves virtually no possibility that Scrapheap could be repaired, even considering the Junkions' amazing recovery abilities. Still, either that has to have happened ór the Junkion who died was not Scrapheap, but one of the "Scrapheap doubles", since "a" Scrapheap shows up in "Space Pirates!". Alternatively, "that" Scrapheap is not "the" Scrapheap. Alternatively alternatively, none of them is "the" Scrapheap.

I must ruminate.

Scrapheap and Junkyard flanked the Junkions' second-in-command when Rodimus Prime contacted Junk for information about the disappearance of Wreck-Gar. Both were rather amused about the way the second-in-command disposed of his inquiry, none of them interested in outsider help.

Shortly thereafter, the Junkions were contacted by Wreck-Gar, and Scrapheap and Junkyard travelled to a small asteroid in the Delta six Quadrant to set up a transmission system for the contents of the Quintesson Journal. When Wreck-Gar (and Wheelie) finally arrived, they sent out the journal's data, the Quintessons' colonisation plans, via the Junkion World Service to many, many other planets. Space Pirates!

Sticker Adventures

Scrapheap, Junkyard and Wreck-Gar spotted Blurr when he was scouting the area after he and a few of his colleagues had to make an emergency landing on the Junk Planet. Impressed with his speed, the Junkions decided to rob him of his engine, which brought about a fight between the Junkions and Autobots. Fortunately, Kup and Rodimus Prime located their missing allies, and rather than joined the battle, tested the friendly approach by offering the Junkions the Universal Autobot greeting and an Energon Stick. The Junkions responded positive to this, befriending the Autobots, helping them fix their ship and eventually waving them good-bye. Battle on the Junk Planet

• Autobot SET (3-pack, 2011)
  • Accessories: Axe

Scrapheap is a redeco and retooling of the 2010 Wreck-Gar mold, transforming into a "junker" dirt bike. His tailpipe assembly transforms into a four-bladed battle-axe, which also has a 3mm clip. He has a new head, which was kept a secret in official photography (even though the smaller image of the box he came in kinda spoiled the surprise). While he is officially Scrapheap, his head sure looks a lot like Rubbish, but that name isn't nearly as cool... or trademarked.

Scrapheap was only available in an e-Hobby exclusive 3-pack with a clear-blue Hot Rod and a battle-damaged Kup. Preorders for the set were opened on December 13 of 2010 and closed on January 11 of 2011, and shipped on an unspecified date in March.

Notes

• Scrapheap, along with Junkyard, is one of two non-Wreck-Gar Junkions to have a full character model, including an alternate mode, developed for The Transformers: The Movie. Both are present in almost every Junkion crowd scene.
• The 1986 profile book series identified this character's design as "Junkion 2" and his compatriot as "Junkion 1".
• The original draft of The Transformers: The Movie describes the Junkion attacking Springer with a grappling hook as wearing a Nazi helmet. When the Junkions were reimagined as more regular Transformers, Scrapheap apparently replaced this design idea.
• The name "Scrapheap" comes from The Complete Ark book, and was suggested in part by one of the original model artists.
