2005 (CW)

After 50 years of absorbing Earth culture remotely, in 2005 the Junkions launched a ship to search for the broadcast source of the mysterious all-powerful Sponsor. Arriving on Earth, some Junkions joined G.I. Joe in battling the dark forces of Cobra, while others resisted getting involved.

That same year Unicron destroyed Cybertron, and, not finding what the god was looking for, dispatched its agents to scour the cosmos searching for something that is still hidden on Earth. The next planet destroyed and eaten was Junkion, stranding the last of their race on Earth.
