- Scrap Iron is an evil Junkion Autobot from the Shattered Glass continuity family.
Once a normal Cybertronian, the robot now called Scrap Iron was stripped of his ember and transformed into a "Type 001" Junkion by Wreck-Gar. Now he serves as a front-line warrior for the Hive, carrying out the will of his leader without question and reveling in the destruction of his enemies.

Fiction
Fun Publications Shattered Glass continuity
Junkheap and Scrap Iron were imprisoned along with Wreck-Gar on Paradron when the Junkions proved to be a threat to both Autobot and Decepticon.
Years later, when Ultra Magnus was freed from Paradron's prisons by Wheeljack and Tracks, the Junkions were offered freedom as well and a place in his army. Using the stellar spanner, Magnus aimed to travel to another dimension, so Wreck-Gar, Junkheap, and Scrap Iron sent little...snake...things ahead of them through the Stellar Spanner's portal to this new world. These snake...things... corrupted several heroic Autobots in the target dimension into new Junkions. Magnus, Wheeljack, Tracks, and the Junkions traveled through the portal next, making short work of the heroic Autobots who remained.
The multiplying masses of Junkions continued to make it difficult for their opponents to succeed, whether they were heroic or evil Decepticons or evil Autobots. Ultimately, Ultra Magnus succeeded in destroying the alternate universe and bringing its Earth to their own universe's Cybertron. Wreck-Gar and his Junkions fled with Magnus at the end of the battle.

Timelines
- Wreck-Gar / Scrap Iron / Junkheap
- Accessories: Tailpipe/axe
- Scrap Iron is a redeco of e-HOBBY Scrapheap, transforming into a "junker" dirt bike in Insecticon colors. His tailpipe assembly transforms into a four-bladed battle-axe, which also has a 3mm clip. He is designed to be able to ride another figure of the same base mold in vehicle mode, simulating the action seen in The Transformers: The Movie.
- This mold was also retooled from Wreck-Gar, Junkheap, and the other Junkions. It also served as the basis of the non-toy Beast Wars: Uprising incarnation of Crazybolt.

Notes
- An error on Scrap Iron's filecard makes it ambiguous what his stats are. His Intelligence is rated 4 and his Speed is rated 7, but the corresponding bars are switched. It's pretty likely that the numbers are correct, considering who and what he is.
- Scrap Iron has a slightly different name from his positive universe counterpart for trademark reasons, with a similar fate befalling fellow BotCon Junkion Junkheap, who could not be named "Junkyard". The alternative trademark "Scrap Iron" comes from a member of Cobra, as Fun Publications also held the G.I. Joe club license.
