No, Junkers (as in Junkers Come Here) is pronounced with the <y> sound because it is a German name because in German <j> is pronounced like English <y> is at the beginnings of words.

Junk Force, however, has English words in it's translated title and thus the pronounciation ([d_Z@Nk fowrs]) follow English spelling rules.

Oh, wait, he was being sarcastic. Oh well, it never does translate well to the internet.
