Via an ebay listing posted by the well-known lena81822, we have our first in-hand look at the Hot Rod figure who will be one of three figures in the upcoming Planet of Junk Clash set! Lena81822 is well-known for surprise listings which often give us in-hand looks at unreleased figures and this listing is no exception. The listing shows off Hot Rod’s alt mode which features a new paint job and a slightly remolded engine block which is speculated to be a means of preventing the use of the Fans Project Protector armor. However, the listing doesn’t provide robot mode images, so that’s one thing to look forward to.
The Planet of Junk set is up for pre-order via our sponsor sites and is priced at $119.99. The set is expected to release sometime during the first quarter of this year, but in the meantime, check out the pics we’ve mirrored after the jump and be sure to click the listing linked above if you can’t wait to get your hands on the latest use of the old Hot Rod/Rodimus mold!

Does anyone have pics of this Hot Rod with the Fansproject Protector kit? I bought one with a junk Rodimus and Its looking like this set is the most reasonable way for me to get a new Hot rod for it, just want to know how well the colors match.

Bump: got my medic and warrior kits in today from toydojo, couldn't beat that price
Fenrys
I'll probably get two more junkheaps this weekend

I had a total of zero Junkions until I found those sets… so glad I did.
United WG + 2x Generations Junkheap + PoJC set + Medic & Warrior sets
Fenrys
Good to know. I definitely don't plan on putting them on any of the 3 I currently have but couldn't pass up $5 a piece
Predakwon
Wow, that's a great price. I have both. Just keep in mind the armor that clips onto the left knee WILL strip the paint off of it.
Fenrys
Just ordered both upgrade kits, now it's just a matter of finding two more junkions for cheap, just got platinum wreck-gar, platinum scrapheap, and generations junkheap in today
Comilius
I'm thinking two junkions for the medic and warrior upgrade since they're both at the same price point from toy dojo. If only they made shattered glass versions too.
Fenrys
Interesting, might have to pick that up along with a second junk heap for a total of 4 junkions

I was just checking out Toy Dojo when I noticed this set is heavily discounted:
upgrade armor
if this is for these figures it may be interesting for those planning to buy this set
Fenrys
Awesome, thanks a lot for the info. I've never handled the mold as I was more into the main lines units rid15/combiner wars flipped the script on me

A quick guide to the Junkion heads:
Wreck-Gar – RTS, United, Platinum
Junkheap – Generations
Scrapheap – EHobby, Platinum
All three were used in a Botcon set of Shattered Glass/Insecticon Juinkions
Raiyuki
I can never remember the,mcorrectly but looking it up, Scrapheap is the one in this set while Junkheap is the second one we got at retail via the Generations line (what seemed like the last wave at the time).

Junk Heap Junkyard (G1) – Transformers Wiki
Fenrys
Just ordered this set since the only junk ion I have is combiner wars wreck-gar. What is the name of the 3rd head for the junk ion from generations? Was it also scrap heap or was it junk heap? There is a third head right?
OriginalFire
When it goes on clearance I'll pick it up

Well, if anyone wants this set you can get it at Toysrus.ca:
Transformers Generations Platinum Edition Planet of Junk Clash – Hasbro – Toys"R"Us
DocSeth81
even though I have the ehobby scrapheap, I kind of want that scrapheap since it is different enough. could always use more different junkions
PlanckEpoch
God…I really want this set, as I love the Junkion mold, and I could always use more, but the price is the killer for me. Any chance that these things have gone on clearance? I haven't really kept up on Platinum releases.
