Scrapheap


 * Scrapheap is a Junkion from the Generation 1 continuity family.

One might think it would be hard for Scrapheap to muster up youthful rebellion against Junkion culture. After all, the average day consists of non-stop television marathons, rummaging through trash, and the occasional knock-down drag-out motorcycle rally-slash-slugfest. He's managed, though. Despite his ability—uncanny even for a Junkion—to retrieve hidden treasures from piles of refuse, he has no intention of spending his life picking through garbage. He sees a career as an inventor as his ticket off his homeworld, and he's not above lying, cheating and stealing to get what he needs to make it happen.

The other Junkions can't help but be impressed with his eye for diamonds in the rough, but his youthfulness, his sometimes dubious morality, and most of all his galling refusal to incorporate the mass-media of Earth into his speech leave most of them firmly believing that he's a rebel and he'll never ever be any good.

The Legacy of Unicron!
Scrapheap came under the thrall of Unicron when his head landed on the planet of Junk. He was put on guard duty to protect the work on a new body for the Chaos Bringer by the other Junkions. He discovered the trio of Wreck-Gar, Smokescreen and Inferno when they were observing the proceedings and preparing to put an end to it. Scrapheap revealed himself, stating that all intruders had to be eliminated, but before he could do so, Wreck-Gar axed him in the chest. Checking on him, Wreck-Gar concluded that Scrapheap had died, fuelling the Junkion leader's determination to stop Unicron.

Space Pirates!
Scrapheap and Junkyard flanked the Junkions' second-in-command when Rodimus Prime contacted Junk for information about the disappearance of Wreck-Gar. Both were rather amused about the way the second-in-command disposed of his inquiry, none of them interested in outsider help.

Shortly thereafter, the Junkions were contacted by Wreck-Gar, and Scrapheap and Junkyard travelled to a small asteroid in the Delta six Quadrant to set up a transmission system for the contents of the Quintesson Journal. When Wreck-Gar (and Wheelie Wheelie) finally arrived, they sent out the journal's data, the Quintessons' colonisation plans, via the Junkion World Service to many, many other planets.
