TFW2005 boards member daimchoc has just brought to our attention (via both Eric John A. Cruz of Cybertron Philippines and 咩酱赛高) some news regarding an upcoming Platinum Edition release. First revealed to us a short while ago in some TRU computer listings, we now have our first images of the Planet of Junk Clash set! Commemorating the 30th anniversary of 1986’s much-beloved Transformers: The Movie, this set is meant to represent the Planet of Junk scenes, containing the following characters:
• Wreck-Gar
• Autobot Hot Rod
• Junkion Scrapheap
All of these figures are reuses of molds we’ve gotten in the past with some minor deco changes – we have a few images of the boxed set (including some pretty fun little bios) waiting for you to check out after the break, and be sure to stay tuned to TFW2005 for more info as it comes out!

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).

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
The Kup
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.
