Wreck-Gar is definitely funnier as an adult. The TV talk went over my head when I was little.
as a kid it was quite funny. a tv head could have a good laugh listening to him insert lines from other IP's like Star Trek, etc.
@@geechie-don7157 Right. As a child, "yoga meditation"pose-sat, on the border of "safe" eye distance & "blinding," in front of the tv for supervision, I fortunately or unfortunately got most of the quips, rallied off by who I thought was the "micro-machines" voice guy, @ the time. Having the television as my babysitter often allowed me to laugh & joke with adults at times. Earning me some adult fans, but also some unnecessarily concerned busy bodies, that were most often put in their place by my shocking cable-tv armed lexicon, or my awestruck adult fans. 🧘🏾👨🏾🎓🤷🏿
Mine too 😅😅😅
He and Cylonus & Magnus were test subject along with Marissa Fairbourn Quinacon ship
Being raised by tv I absolutely loved Wreck-Gar. I could relate to the character heavily.
_"Destroy Unicron! Kill the Grand Poobah! Eliminate even the toughest stains!"_
Man, they are the best
No fuss! No muss!
@@RodimusPrimal did Hasbro or Tekara ever make a junkion combiner ? What vehicles did the junkions transform into OTHER than a motorcycle ?

It's impossible to hate the Junkions, especially Wreck-Gar.
AND YET. my dad hates the junkions.
"Go ahead...make my day..."
Wreck-Gar just quoted Clint Eastwood.
That is awesome.
"I am a doctor not a forklift!" "He is dead Jim." "Bow weep gonna weep nini bong!"
- Just some of the many quotes from Wreck-Gar
"Don't look behind door number two , monkey!, It's time to play! End of the line my valentine! Geroni-geron-ron-roniMOOOOOOO!!!!
12:36 I like how they wanted to use the original VA but they used Weird Al and that was a great choice.
It's a neat callback and I'd argue that the voice still fits the character.
Eric Idle still holds up to this day!
Irony right!
I love how one of Wreck-Gar's lines in Animated was "I am Wreck-Gar! I dare to be stupid!" or something along those lines as a direct reference to Weird Al's song from the 86 movie. That show was on POINT with its G1/Beast Wars references.
@@dreadfury2485 Meta Irony...?
3:20 This was one of the moments that proved that Hot Rod deserve to become a Prime, it was thanks to him that not only a slaughter was prevented, but it was also the moment when one of the most important alliance of the Autobots was forged
Hot Rod do have diplomacy skills.
@@stephencastro4723 Yes he have
@@javiersantanaaviles5885 "Guns aren't exactly friendly." - This alone proves Hot Rod knows diplomacy. Indeed, it was during his regime that Cybertron became a venue for intergalactic diplomacy that aim for peace.
@@stephencastro4723 Exactly, what Primus always want for his children, Hot Rod made possible that the Transformers stablish peace with other worlds
Wreck-gar and the junkions are funny and interesting concepts of rusted trash. Not only do they have the ability to fix themselves but live entirely without any possible harm, I wish we could see them more since, well they're basically the autobots second wave of army 🤷♂️. And I always laughed at animated wreck gar cause he was always fun to see on the small screen 😂.
The signal from Netflix' War For Cybertron trilogy is the ONLY television broadcast in the universe the Junkions have ever blocked.
Wreck-Gar: "Heh-heh-Hound sou-sou-sounds like Ironhide! Shick-Shack-Shockwave sounds like Yo Joe Firefly! DANGER, WILL OPTIMUS BEGS FOR MEGA-MEGA-MEGATRON'S FORGIVENESS???
"Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Phyliss? Oh, my God, they killed Kickback! NO ENERGON SOUP FOR YOU!"
Lol!
I always loved the junkions, I found them rather interesting and funny. I have always hoped that Junkions would rejoin the mythos with a bigger part, but sadly this isn't the case.
Love Wreck-Gar rejoining in Animated, I had hoped that Junkion would be a part of the Cyber Planet hunt in TF Cybertron but nope forgotten.
They have so much potential
It because now a days everybody wants transformer to be dark and gritty which is sad cause G1, Bears wars and Animated proves this franchise don't always have to use that tone all the the time.
Fun fact: The brutes with astrotrain's ion displacer in the war for cybertron game were named "junkheaps". It's unknown if that's their actual name or if it's a slur.
A cool reinterpretation of the Junkios might be as a Huge Biker Gang leaded by Wreck-gar, they travel across the galaxy in search of treasuress, the parts and different stuff that they find helps them built voice boxes to talk and comunicatte in diffetent languages, they are hostile to whoever crosses their path, which lead to many battles with both autobots and decepticons, until they realize who are the good ones and the bad ones.
Have at least one of the Junkions sporting a pompadour hair and I'm sold.
It's impossible to not love Wreck Gar
I just found the SS 86’ Wreck-Gar a few days ago. He’s easily the best toy the character has ever gotten in my opinion. I hope they retool the heck out of it to make more of the Junkions. I want an army of them!
Lucky!
I believe they made a junkyard figure as well
There are two SS86 Junkions named Scrapheap and Junkheap.
The commercials back then were so great.
As a kid my folks would say I watched to much TV because I could always recite commercial, tv shows and movies. Once I discovered Wreck-Gar I knew I was a human Junkion or a robot in disguise. Always love your videos man I rewatch them a lot. Keep us the excellent work!
Original wreck gar has weird al's song in his entrance and then the newer one is voiced by weird al thats just great
"Don't look behind door number two , monkey!, It's time to play! End of the line my valentine! Geroni-geron-ron-roniMOOOOOOO!!!!
Wreak-Gar is a very unique and interesting character. Would be nice to see him and the Junkions again.
Man he is a really underutilized character. Glad to see some light shed on him and the others!
Wreck-Gar was a character that did interest me, I liked how he talked like somebody ye see on TV.
I talk some TV. And now the news. Don't touch that dial
That scene from the brave little toaster scarred me as a child.
He quoted that too?
Wreck gar is a unique character
I would like to see the Junkions back as main characters, perhaps creating a new kind of Titan themselves
"I'm Wreck-Gar. I am good for one thing and one thing only- *GARBAGE!* "
I am Wreck-Gar. I DARE to be stupid!
My second favorite autobot next to cliff glad to finally get a retrospective
0:13, oh God, I was actually thinking of that scene when you mentioned junkyard
A garbage truck was the perfect alt-mode for Wreck-Gar, and having Weirld Al voice him but speaking in references to his own songs, and tv brodcasts would be perfect!
Animated Wreck Gar was fun, but he kind of gets lost in the shuffle in that show because it was more comedy driven.
I am Wreck-Gar. I Dare to be stupid
I would love if if all the junkion body designs saw new molds and Nancy could be the body base for several female junkions
I think it's funny concept would be for a modern-day is junkions they would still speak TV and radio as well speaking in Memes, Boomers, Zoomers, Redditors, anime, youtube poop and talking backwards like in those gmod animation. And I can't forget good old-fashioned gibberish.
“Get Noscoped!”
“Mom, get the camera!”
“Wombo combo!”
“I like to have fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!”
“He be tweakin’, tho”
“That’s why Yo Momma dead - dead as hell, what shoes - what shoes she got on in her Casket?”
“Damn, son. Where’dya find this?”
And so on. That sounds like a cool idea, though.
You left out how Animated Wreck-Gar said "I dare to be stupid!" lol
I really wish the live-action films had some real Junkions, the hyperdetailed artstyle would look awesome with Cybertronians assembled from scrap metal. The reboot that seems to be happening with those movies would be a great chance for a middle-ground between the more streamlined G1 design and a walking junkyard.
I agree should weird Al Yankovic reprise as wreck garr
I love Wreck-gar. He’s a pure soul at heart.
I love Wreck-Gar.
Wreck-Gar is my favourite character, I wish he'd show up in more media!
I'd love to see another wreckgar
The nostalgia dripping from just 2 lines alone is worth it.
The upside of having a toy of Wreck-Gar or any other Junkion is if there's chipped paint, sloppy decals, stress marks, or chipping, it's no big problem because those still fit into the whole Junkion Aesthetic
Its so fun for me to believe that the junkions were decepticon descendants due to thier red eyes and garish good looks...........
Im a pepper too.......
Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong
I would like to see various new junkion figures, whether they use the established names or not. There are various forms they could take, including a jeep or a 3-wheeled motorcycle.
Wreck Gar would say some of the funniest lines. One line that stands out to me was from the “ROOP, part 1 epsiode after Ultra Magnus infects him, he turns to Rodimus and says, “I’m a pepper, wouldn’t you like to be a pepper, too?”
He's just a crazy TV-talking mad max bro that just chills with the Autobots later, He's my favorite character of Transformers. I loved this video !
I talk some TV. And now the news. Don't touch that dial.
One of the most amusing things to come out of the Movie and Season 3 was the Junkions. Considering Hasbro's current policies on reusing molds we're likely to get at least one retooled Junkion the same way we got a Sweep from Scourge.
I owe these guys for introducing me to Weird Al.
i wanna see wreck-gar looking like his g1 version in a future transformers series, and i hope he transforms into a cybertronian dirt bike in a future transformers series
Of course more Wreck-Gar and more Junkions. Of course the other Junkions should get figures.
When I saw the movie sometime in 1988, I am still wondering how Junkion gets tv signal from Earth despite its light years away while my town barely get a good signal
"Don't look behind door number 2 Monty it's time to play end of the line my valentine
Ger-roni-do-ron-ron-roni-moooooooooo"
-wreck gar
You check in, but you don't check out
I love to see Wreck-Gar in more transformers media like a live action version of him
Sweet video bro! Huge Junkion fan since the G1 movie. I like how Wreck-Gar had red optic lenses and no visible symbol, which left movie watchers initially wondering who they were and which side they were on. The 2021 figure it the best one yet! I wouldn't mind Nancy getting a 2021 toy, complete with the ability to be disassembled into pieces. What if she is a normal sized combiner...
My favorite junkion is Junkyard the one with horns whom we see put his wheel shield back on and he is the only junkion other than Wreck-Gar to get more scenes in the movie, his's second being him and another junkion trying to patch up thier ship the Minnow via welding.
i wanna see wreck-gar and all the other junkions get more toys and appear in a future transformers series
Having Weird Al Yankovic voice Tf Animated Wreck-Gar brought all inspirations and ideas full circle.
It would be cool if they mix both his idw and aligned continuity in a future cartoon.
Why didn’t Animated Wreck-Gar join the main cast he seems like with the story he should have
14:30 I feel like these five should be released as a combiner team who combines into Wastenot.
something interesting is that in the episode ''Garbage in garbage out'' of animated, Wreck-Gar throws to bumblebee his 1986 figure. If you look closely you will see.
Animated Wreck-Gar is my favorite version of Wreck-Gar because he is voiced by "Weird Al" Yankovic. "I am Wreck-Gar! I dare to be stupid!"
The first time i saw the movie and Wreck-Gar said, "you check in but you don't check out" and got that little glint in his eye.... Yup, that's my guy!
In my darkest hour having a terrible day and I see this knowing my favorite character is wrec gar I already know this’ll be beyond cool 😎
Hope the rest of you day goes better for you! Till all are OK be!
I love how rodimus was red befor wreckage touched him lol
One of the many animation mistakes. I was thinking that Rodimus was already infected.
Post G1 Animated Wreck-Gar is the best incarnation of the character.
The junkions are one of my favorite additions to the series in season three, for I too speak almost exclusively in tv quotes.
Man cant wait for my Wreck-Gar preorder to ship! If only we could get a Death's Head RED figure.
I have the Power of the prime toys Wreckgar from my auntie
Even though I am a huge fan of Monty Python and the rest of Eric Idle's work. I was sad he could not reprise his role of Wreck-Gar but I loved the fact Weird Al took the gig, making the circle complete since he sang "Dare to be stupid"
There were so many great lines to draw from for the Junkions. Woukd have loved to see a Thundercats ho line.
Awesome retrospective video of Wreck-Gar and the Junkions, Rodimus Primal! Keep up the amazing work!
Wreck Garr is one for my favorite Characters! My favorite versions are the G1 and the Animated ones! They are just awesome! Wreck Garr´s friendly and Crazy demeanor demonstrates We can all Be Peppers!
I am 56 years old and I still thank wreck gars voice is funny
Ok the Junkions talk TV what's so fun-
OH. I get it now that is really clever whoever came up with that idea should be proud of themselves.
3:19 Very briefly during this scene, you can see a few female Junkions dancing with the others. One is clearly visible in the top left corner with light grey legs. Never noticed them the first twenty times I rewatched the movie!
I wish Hasbro retool SS 86 wreck gar into a female junkion since his transformation is fairly simple also wouldn't mind if they retool SS 86 scourge into thunderwing
"We got the touch!". Best line ever.
when we saw daytrader's vehicle mode in tlk people thought he was wreck-gar at 1st
I’ve been waiting for a Wreck Gar retrospective! Thanks for the vid Rodimus Primal! 👍
This guy will always be of the best autobots imo, he’s freaking hilarious and always steals the show.
RW:Wreck-Gar such a serious autobot at times with a comedic relief and comical sense of humor.😁👍👍
I think the whole lot of should return actually. But we should use more of their generation one styles and personalities.
I would like to see the other junkions get toys as well, as long as they aren´t all Wreck-Gar retools. Some of them being garbage trucks or other stuff would make it damn cool.
I'm sorry but the original voice actor for wrek-gar doing the kitchen gun with a animation would make my entire year
LOVE the Brave Little Toaster "Worthless" song reference!
I picked up Scraphook and instantly fell in love with the Junkions entirely. I may have ordered all of the new ones...
These guys have an interesting concept. Also who doesn’t like “Dare to be Stupid”?
#DARETOBESTUPID
"I am Wreck-Gar! I dare to be stupid!"
I been listening to Dare to be Stupid I like the song I also listened to Amish Paradise by Weird Al too
Another excellent retrospective....it also reminds how much I dislike Bumblebee using radio voice 🤣
Yep. One of the many reasons I dislike it.
Especially in the movie, G1 Wreck-Gar's piecemeal way of speaking always was understandable just through context alone. The series version usually just relies on singular reference quotes, but at least they were appropriate to the situation.
Dare to Be Stupid is a CLASSIC!!!!!
The Junkions, the greatest mechanics and tv fanatics of the entire Transformers Franchise
About a year ago we got a second Studio Series Junkion called Junkheap and later this tear we will get a 3rd called Scrapheap
i wanna see greasestain looking like his g1 version in a future transformers series
i wanna see hazmat looking like his g1 version in a future transformers series
I’m glad that Hasbro is making him again. And that they are making more Junkions.
I saw someone who repainted some Combiner Wars figures into a Junkion combiner, with Wreck-Garr as the torso.
Most indefinitely they should have action figures of the Junkions as well as have them more feature in the Transformer Series.
Honestly, SS86 Wreck Gar is one of my top 10 figures of 2021, and I bought a lot of figures.
He's awesome. I currently have two for one to ride the other and will do the same with Junkheap.
Chad is a very handsome man . Is you panda gay?
What they could’ve done to make the junkyards more rememberable that there should’ve been a scene where they will transform and combine into scrap king
I’m happy the junkions are in the legacy toyline
I had him as a kid and along with jetfire were my fav transformers along with Grimlock.
Always liked wreck-gar. I really enjoy his Studio Series 86 figure
I'm surprised Hasbro didn't reuse the Siege Hound mold to make a Gen Selects Detritus.
Hasbro makes crazy decisions
don't know if it's the electronic effects but I've always had trouble understanding what Wreck-Gar from the old cartoon parts are saying
animate was a good call back to him, funny ep too
"I dare to be stupid!"
