Additionally we also have our early first look at the Legacy Evolution Voyager Junkion! Unfortunately it’s shown here only in robot mode, in what appears to be test shot colors, and also lacking its head.
Check it out and let us know your first impressions!

There's are many colors on the Junkion palette, I don't think any one Junkion uses them all at the same time. They could definitely do the same mold in different colors and still look like a Junkion.

It could be a SS86 Wreck-gar/Junkyard situation where they both use Junkion colors but are still different enough (either in color layout or with some new parts) to co-exist. Although if it ends up being in some subline, anything's possible. We've had almost the entire Kingdom cast redone in toy variants (which are often rather similar) as well as dudes retooled into themselves (IDW Blurr) so I suppose anything could happen eventually.

Has the head been found?
Optimus1138
Probably him or AOE Junkheap if it's just a repaint with a new head, but there was also speculation that the mold could be turned into Thunderclash/MW Optimus and/or Pyro with heavier remolding, depending on how exactly it transforms.
Banshee
of course.

I didn't watch the last stream, I just saw the highlights on the forum. Thank you.

The stream that aired just a few days ago?
Banshee
it was confirmed on the last stream that it has traditional junkion colors.

Doubtful, axlegrease's marked with the decepticon insignia while trashmaster is marked with the autobot one. Her status as having a different color scheme to the other junkions has also been noted to be deliberate. This plus the fact that it's been all but outright confirmed that we're getting a regular junkion colors variant of axlegrease later makes it rather unlikely for trashmaster to have the shattered glass color scheme
Ganon2099
Could Junkmaster be the colors of Axelgrease? Then an animated wreck gar is on the table

Like salvage from rescue bots? If it does end up being a somewhat mad max esc garbage truck like the name somewhat implies.
Optimus1138
But like I said, that'd just be releasing the same mold in pretty much the same colors with the head being the only major difference, which I doubt they'd do. I think it's more likely that the main release itself will be meant as a loose homage to Wreck-Gar and will be repainted or remolded into someone else with totally different colors.
OrionThe13th
Honestly, that sounds rather likely, but personally I'm waiting for whichever character they make out of a repaint of crashbar. That way I'll be three for three once the figures come out

I'm thinking the same about of effort that went into making Tow-Line from Scraphook
OrionThe13th
I was originally going to say that the 2010s release of wreck gar would like to object, but when I took a closer look I realized that the figures were repainted and not just given a new head. So, instead I'm going to point you in the direction of the several cases where the exact same sets of minicons were used to represent two or more teams and weren't even repainted
Optimus1138
I'm guessing more 'close enough' homage. You never know but I doubt they'd release another version of the mold in basically the same colors with just a new head and maybe minus the spikes and stuff.
SaberZ
That's certainly possible, knowing Hasbro they'd probably have this designed in such a way where they can get as much retool milage out of it as possible. I could see them saying Trashmaster is a "garbage truck", but with the way its designed its vague enough to the point where it could work as other truck bots that aren't garbage trucks.
Fridaytron
It could be both. It's a garbage truck, but in a post apocalyptic armored style like Towline is. All kinds of plates and stuff everywhere.
Neko-bot77
They could have the Animated Wreck-gar head included with this mold. A garbage truck body could be "close enough" to make it happen. Just ask Tow-Line. He's still a tow truck, just not very RID2001

With the name it screams garbage truck to me.
