- Rubbish is a Junkion.
Simply dreadful.
RUBBISH is a member of the Junkions, a wild, rapacious gang of cannibals who rove the galaxy from their broken homeworld. They descend onto planets and ships, chopping mechanical beings into pieces and incorporating the parts of their victims into their bodies. Like his people, RUBBISH is a powerful and all-but-indestructible Junkbot, built of stolen mech parts, scrap metal, and junk. If he is hit by laser blasts and falls apart, he can reassemble himself and keep right on coming. He and his people swarm like locusts and consume everything about a planet, from its energy sources down to its very culture. RUBBISH can transform from motorcycle mode and back continuously in battle so that his "ruins" become his transformed mode and back again any time he takes a direct hit. In robot mode, he carries an armor axe and a decelerator laser that inhibits an enemy robot's flow of cerebral impulses, allowing him to stun opponents and then hack them to pieces while they're still conscious but unable to fight back. In motorcycle mode can attain a speed of 160 mph for a distance of 100 miles. In either mode he's a frightening force with which to be reckoned.
- "It's just torture and murder. No plot, no characters. Very, very realistic. I think it's what's next."[1]

Notes[]
- Rubbish was never named in any fiction; his name (and the names of many other Junkions) comes from character designer's notes, revealed in Transformers: The Complete Ark.
- Rubbish is one of the movie's "extra" Junkions, whose designs were mostly a mix and match of each other's parts. In Rubbish's case, his chest, legs and arms are based on Scrapheap's and therefore share similarities with Re-Cycle's and Trashbin's.
