As a child, "yoga meditation"pose-sat, on the border of "safe" eye distance & "blinding," in front of the tv for supervision, I fortunately or unfortunately got most of the quips, rallied off by who I thought was the "micro-machines" voice guy, @ the time. Having the television as my babysitter often allowed me to laugh & joke with adults at times. Earning me some adult fans, but also some unnecessarily concerned busy bodies, that were most often put in their place by my shocking cable-tv armed lexicon, or my awestruck adult fans. 🧘🏾👨🏾‍🎓🤷🏿

Wreck-gar and the junkions are funny and interesting concepts of rusted trash. Not only do they have the ability to fix themselves but live entirely without any possible harm, I wish we could see them more since, well they're basically the autobots second wave of army 🤷‍♂️. And I always laughed at animated wreck gar cause he was always fun to see on the small screen 😂.

I always loved the junkions, I found them rather interesting and funny. I have always hoped that Junkions would rejoin the mythos with a bigger part, but sadly this isn't the case.

A cool reinterpretation of the Junkios might be as a Huge Biker Gang leaded by Wreck-gar, they travel across the galaxy in search of treasuress, the parts and different stuff that they find helps them built voice boxes to talk and comunicatte in diffetent languages, they are hostile to whoever crosses their path, which lead to many battles with both autobots and decepticons, until they realize who are the good ones and the bad ones.
