Power Battler Junkheap official image

Partnering up with a waste management company called, "Waste Management", Hasbro has used Earth Day to reveal an upcoming Movie toy called Junkheap - a Decepticon that transforms into a garbage truck.

Speculation is that it could be inspired by the TF3 scene of one scanning a garbage truck, and driving off.

Being a Power Battler, it will have a simple transformation and a spring loaded attack gimmick in robot mode. There is no indication of a regular (Generations) version yet, and it may not even be in the movie.

It is certainly one of the more unusual licensed cross-promotional figures, and the first authentic garbage truck Transformers toy (Animated Wreck-Gar was one, but wasn't a realistic garbage truck).

I'm pretty sure he'll be in the fourth movie as I remember seeing a video of Galvatron, Stinger and a Garbage truck rolling out together on set.

Looks cheap and nasty from the tyres and those clips. Cool design and waiting for the robot mode.

I think he rolled out at the end of dotm when the space bridge was activated.

Powerbattlers are the same price as Deluxes in America ($15), and I think they were a little bigger because they were simpler and chunkier.

Not bad for what it is. Is that its head at the top, upside down?

I want one

I want one

Yeah, that alt-mode looks awesome!

Apparently they have cropped up in a store called TJ Maxx in the states for $6.99 US! Certainly a lot cheaper than the $70 I've seen them on eBay

I ended up getting a TAV Junkion from HLJ because I didn't think I'd ever find an affordable Junkheap. But I'd still like to get one since it's more movie-accurate (despite turning into one bot instead of 3) so hopefully this signals they may become a bit more available.

Junkheap and Vehicon are the only power battlers I want, mostly because they didn't get any Generations toys based off them (which would've been awesome, and I'm excluding the breakout battle because that's a different vehicle mode)

hopefully this means Junkheap and Vehicon will show up online somewhere for cheap now then. I wanted to get both of them since they didn't have Generations versoins
