One day in 2008, Optimus Prime contacted the Junkions when Wreck-Gar failed to show up to deliver a report on their alliance against the Decepticons. The Prime feared something had happened to his ally and friend and wanted information on where Wreck-Gar was or what he had been up to before he disappeared. The second-in-command Junkion, flanked by Scrapheap and Junkyard, answered Prime's call, but was unwilling to divulge anything about Wreck-Gar's activities or whereabouts. After annoying Optimus a bit with obvious lies and unctuous behaviour, he cut the transmission.
