Junkmon

If a factory one is familiar with disappears before they know it, then a large number of Junkmon may be responsible. When it discovers invading enemies, it will drive them away with its "Parabolic Junk". Persistent opponents will suffer its "Scrap Teeth".

Junkmon was designed by Mr K from Plex. It included many elements such as being a puppet and having many metallic elements such as wheels and a battery so that it could act as a digivolution to Digimon like Tankmon, Deputymon, and Vehicle Digimon.モンモンメモ‼Vol.55「デジモンペンデュラムＺⅡ」製作インタビュー！ZⅡの作成秘話!: "でも豊富なラインナップの中でも、成長期から機械モチーフのあるデジモンは逆に少なく、そこに投入したジャンクモンには進化先の広がりを持ってもらえるよう様々な要素を詰め込みつつ、成長期として情報過多にならないようバランスをとったつもりです。森の建築家のビーバーがモチーフで、そこに加えてパペット感や車輪や砲台をつけることで、タンクモンやリボルモン、乗り物系のデジモンへの進化を包括したものになっています。"

Arisa Kinosaki set a as her partner Digimon for three months. After Arisa and Shoto Kazama log into LACUNA, Shoto looks on in horror upon seeing Junkmon with Arisa explaining how to play the game. In a practice duel, Arisa digivolves an unspecified lv2 Yellow Digimon into Junkmon, then into .
During Arisa's first turn in her duel against Violet "Vi" Inboots she hatches a copy of , digivolves it to Junkmon, and then digivolves Junkmon into TobuCatmon.
Later in the duel, attacks Arisa's security and checks two cards. One of them was with Wonder Stomp's security effect allowing Arisa to draw one card then play a lv3 Puppet Digimon for free. She uses the effect to play Junkmon for free. Shortly afterwards Arisa attacks Violet's security with Junkmon, though Violet reveals ACE in her hand and uses its counter ability to Blast Digivolve into said BeelStarmon for free. This gives Violet a digivolution draw and activates BeelStarmon's On Digivolving effect. Violet is allowed to add an Option Card from the Trash to her hand, then can activate a Three Musketeers Option Card for free. She activates , which allows her to delete a lv3 Digimon, a lv4 Digimon, and a lv5 Digimon. Arisa has the lv3 Junkmon and lv5 on her field, who would both simultaneously die via said effect. Arisa however, activates the Decoy effect of Junkmon which allows it to sacrifice itself and prevent a Puppet Digimon from dying via an effect. Junkmon would've died regardless, since it was lv3, and was now targeted twice (taking the lv5 deletion effect in place of Chaperomon, alongside its own lv3 deletion effect), allowing Chaperomon to live. Shortly afterwards, Arisa plays another copy of Junkmon then uses 's overclock ability to delete Junkmon and attack again. This attack allows her to win the duel.
