It’s the trash lord himself! (I love this dingus!)
Wreck-Gar is the leader of a colony of Cybertronians that split pre-war, so long ago that there are no records of them ever leaving on either side.
He and his people live on the planet Junkion, which is composed primarily of waste and garbage ejected into space that somehow managed to clump together into a planet-sized mass.
Wreck-Gar and his colony are the living embodiment of “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” and as such they are fairly well-known as a trading planet where you can take worthless items and root around in the heaps of garbage for anything of interest.
Junkion is located in an area of space where a lot of frequencies are bounced around due to the location of other planets, this means they receive a lot of broadcasts from an incredible variety of planets, as such they watch a lot of TV.
A common adaptation among Junkions is the “half-pipe” tail which can function as a way to hold a lot more than they could normally carry in their arms.
Just like all Junkions, Wreck-Gar has an excellent knack for being able to make quick ‘fix its’ from random items and could probably make three working clocks from your trash right now.
Wreck-gars thin and nimble legs allow him to move quickly through the mixed terrain of Junkion.
He is a very peppy and warm individual and almost always high-energy.
Yes, he knows his memes too, much to the annoyance of Ultra Magnus.
Junkions ‘seem’ to “speak TV” as they will often imitate broadcasts from the specific planet of the race they encounter, at first, as a gesture of hospitality and good will.
They mistook the crash landing of Ultra Magnus and his small crew to be an attack, however, leading to their somewhat turbulent first-meeting with the Autobots.
Despite mostly siding with the Autobots and being classed as Autobots upon reintroduction to Cybertron, Wreck-Gar and the Junkions are largely neutral and still accept trades from visiting Decepticons.
Wreck-Gar totally knows how to use his axe-turned-staff. He’s watched so much TMNT.
He is actually quite proficient with it, but probably not from watching TV.
A Lithonian named ‘Nancy’ lives with Wreck-Gar on Junkion, welcomed there as a ‘honorary Junkion’, Wreck-Gar and the Junkions took her in after Unicron destroyed her planet making her, potentially, the last of her kind.
Is surprisingly good with an accordian, no ones quite sure why he claims he’s “daring to be stupid” when using it though.
Worked alongside First Aid as a ‘extra’/makeshift medic on more than one occasion during Ratchet’s temporary absence.
Is considered a bit of an “uncle to all” on Junkion and a lot of the younger Junkions call him Uncle. He’s very perceptive of people’s needs and will always do his best for his people.
Doesn’t always smell the best.
Often has a lot of odd bits of junk on him for no real reason, other than he ‘likes them’.
Can move bipedally and quadrupedally.
As proven by their first meeting, after Hot Rod calmed him and the other Junkions down, once he likes you and considers you a friend he can and will go fight a cosmic horror-demon will you if you merely ask him.
