_{This character has no official visual representation in any Transformers product or media... yet, at least.}

Recyclons are mechanoids from the Legends anthology portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Recyclons are a breed of non-Cybertron transforming robots created by the Harvest Lords of Sigrath. They are tasked with searching the galaxy for raw or waste materials to reclaim and process into energon for their Lords in a far-reaching "clean up the universe" mission...even if that material happens to have native life forms living on it, sentient or no.

Each team of Recyclons is capable of combining to form a Prime Processing Unit to convert matter into energon, though the team leader remains in an independent robot mode to operate the machine.

The known Recyclons are...

• Activator
• Assessor
• Convertor
• Detonator
• Extractor
• Salvage
• Torch

Fiction

Collect and Save

While scouring the universe for junk aboard the starship Reclamation, Salvage's team of Recyclons found the fabled Planet of Junk and decided to recycle it. After landing on the planet and forming the Prime Processing Unit, the Recyclons came under attack from the native Junkions and were driven back into space.

The Recyclons didn't give up, and after taking out the Junkions' leader, they tried to use the Prime Processing Unit from space instead. The Junkions retaliated by firing a tractor beam at the Reclamation and slamming it into their planet, where the Prime Processing Unit overloaded and blew up. Most the crew was killed, and any survivors were soon finished off by the Junkions. Collect and Save
