Junkions are a race of transforming mechanoids occasionally descended from Cybertronians that inhabit the garbage planetoid Junkion (also called the Planet of Junk).

Biology[]
Anatomy[]
Junkions share a similar biology to other Cybertronians, though they are seemingly made of little more than the same rusted scraps of trash metal that compose their homeworld.
Powers and abilities[]
Junkions share many of the same abilities as Cybertronians.
Junkions are capable of withstanding damage that would normally incapacitate or kill the average Cybertronian.
Junkions can repair their damage using any pieces of scrap metal they can get their hands on. For example, a Junkion that has been reduced to a pile of parts can come back at their enemy less than a minute later.
Junkions in battle are utterly fearless, using tag-team and ambush tactics to keep mobile while swarming their opponents en masse.
Junkions are expert mechanics, being able to repair Cybertronians that normal medical science would write off as dead with remarkable ease. However, how they have developed in this manner has yet to be explained.
Certain Junkions possess combination abilities akin to Multi-Component Transformers, particularly full-sized Weaponizers. By performing a technique called Evo-Fusion, these Junkions can split apart into C.O.M.A.T. System-compatible armor for their comrades while also strengthening and evolving their weapons.
Culture and society[]
Junkion's insignia
Junkion culture is centered on Earth broadcasting, as evidenced by their speech patterns. As such, they are instinctively protective of Humans, the source of television.
Junkions are somewhat childlike, naive, and curious. However, they also tend to be wary of, if not outright hostile towards, newcomers to their planet. This is because far too many have come with the goal of harming their world. Luckily for off-worlders, once a Junkion's friendship is gained, they go "coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs" and treat their allies as Friends For Life.
After having come in contact with the Autobots, the Junkions have become known as some of the best scrap metal merchants and traders around. Even some Decepticons make use of their services. The Junkions are all too happy to exchange energon for more scrap metal... even if they do not think to ask just where the scrap metal came from.
While Junkions are generally allied with the Autobots, certain Junkions are known to be affiliated with other factions. For example, Axlegrease is affiliated with the Decepticons whereas incarnations of Detritus are occasionally affiliated with the Mercenaries.
Language[]
A Junkion's speech is a hodgepodge of television and radio clippings, making them oftentimes hard to understand.

Notes[]
- The original idea for the Gigantions involved colossal Junkion-like robots with scrap aesthetic. As such, the planned explanation for the planet's endless cycle of building was that Gigantion was supposed to become the hub of the galaxy-spanning space bridge network. Therefore, they were building to accommodate the millions of Transformers that would soon populate and pass through the world.
- This concept went unmentioned in the Transformers: Cybertron cartoon, with the residents of Gigantion constantly building for no particular reason.
- Wreck-Gar and Detritus were listed as part of the roster of "Aligned" Star Seekers slated to appear in an early version of Transfomers: Prime's third season.[1][2]
