Junkyard is a Junkion from the Generation 1 continuity family. He is also known as Junkheap.

Fiction[]

Cartoon continuity[]

Wreck-Gar and the Junkions made ready to attack Ultra Magnus's crew of Autobots, Junkyard observed the intruders through binoculars, and directed the other Junkions aiming the Junk Gun at them. Before they could fire, the Decepticons arrived to attack the Autobots instead, and in the wake of that battle, Junkyard joined Wreck-Gar's war party in striking at the Autobots directly, initially in motorcycle mode. His rider attacked Arcee with an axe, which she retaliated by boring an extendable tire spike into him. This sent them tumbling head-over-heels, but they restored from the damage just as quickly and returned to the chase.

Junkyard was standing behind Wreck-Gar when the Autobot Hot Rodmade parley with the Junkions via the Universal greeting, and took part in a spontaneous song-and-dance sequence to celebrate the alliance. After, he led a small group which gathered the remains of the fallen Ultra Magnus and restored him to life.

Wreck-Gar was speaking to Junkyard when Hot Rod's question about Galvatron's location resulted in the wildly popular decision to "destroy Unicron". He was also with Wreck-Gar on the bridge of the Minnow when Unicron crushed it.

Some time later, the exiled DecepticonOctane traveled to Junkion to pick up a load of used components, intending to transport them to Cybertron. Junkyard's cheerful, garrulous demeanor irritated Octane, who believed (based on past experience) that the trader was trying to sell him more merchandise than he could actually transport. After being bid a friendly goodbye, Octane declared Junkyard a "jerk" under his breath and made a racial slur against all Junkions.

Starscream's Ghost

Junkyard 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

Marvel Comics continuity[]

Marvel UK future timelines[]

When a group of Autobots first crash-landed on the planet of Junk, Junkyard, Scrapheap, and Wreck-Gar assumed the intruders had come about to steal their garbage. They rolled out some Junk Guns to deal with the trespassers, but never got a chance to use them; more Transformers showed up in short order and attacked the previous arrivals. These Decepticons took off after snatching away some bauble from the Autobots, and the Junkions once more readied themselves to attack. Then, a third group of Transformers landed, these ones carrying "tasty sticks" and speaking the universal greeting. The Junkions accepted the Autobots' peace-offerings, fixed up one of their members who had gotten himself scrapped, and joined them in an attack on the planet-devouring Unicron. Unicron was defeated and the Junkions were thereafter allies to the Autobots. The Final Battle!

Junkyard approached the bounty hunter freelance peace-keeper Death's Head during a pursuit on the Planet of Junk, attempting to hire him to liberate his people, who had fallen under the thrall of Unicron. Junkyard told Death's Head he shouldn't terminate his prey (renegade Decepticons Cyclonus and Scourge) if they could be used against Unicron, citing the old Junkion saying "Never waste raw materials."

Under Death's Head's direction Junkyard pretended to be one of the enthralled workforce and lay high explosives around Unicron's footholdheadhold on the planet. However, as it turned out, in reality his mind was already snared by Unicron's control, who just used Junkyard to lure Death's Head close enough to him to mind-control him. When Cyclonus and Scourge launched a diversionary attack, Junkyard seemingly broke free and attempted to warn off Death's Head. Unicron destroyed him for his trouble, telling Death's Head to feel no pity for him, as he has been always under his control. The Legacy of Unicron! Lying to Americans is so much fun... hard to keep a straight face!

A few months later, Junkyard was present when Rodimus Prime tried to contact Junk for information about the missing Wreck-Gar, who had been abducted by the Quintessons. Junkyard had a hard time keeping a straight face as they blew smoke up Rodimus's demands for information, smirking smugly at his overacting comrade.

Shortly thereafter, Junkyard and his friend were waiting for Wreck-Gar on a small asteroid in the Delta Six Quadrant. The Junkions had intercepted the Quintesson Journal (lobbed in their direction by the missing Wreck-Gar some time ago) and had completed a jury-rigged setup to relay its contents via the Junkion World Service.

The journal, documenting the Quintessons far-reaching plans of conquest for hundreds of inhabited worlds, utterly ruined the Quintessons reputation in the galaxy. Makes you wanna grin, doesn't it? Space Pirates!

The Big Broadcast of 2006[]

In the UK version of the story, the events of "The Big Broadcast of 2006" are a fabrication invented by Wreck-Gar.

When a school of Sharkticons descended on Junkion and started mucking up the place, Wreck-Gar led his soldiers to drive them off, Junkyard among them. The next morning, the Junkions found a present left for them: a new television set! Unbeknownst to them, this set had been left behind by the Sharkticons' masters, the Quintessons. Within its broadcasts was a subliminal message, pushing the Junkions into being overtly aggressive against outsiders and making them organize all of the garbage on their world.

Later, Junkyard looked on as Wreck-Gar redirected the subliminal broadcast back into outer space, resulting in several other warriors amassing in Junkion's orbit to duke it out between themselves. He joined in with his brethren in trying to shoot these invaders down until the Autobot Blaster began playing soothing music, which negated the broadcast's effects. Themselves once more, the Junkions ganged up against Galvatron to drive him and his Decepticons off their homeworld. The Big Broadcast of 2006
