Heave

Heave is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Invisible horsey.

Heave is, at his core, a mild-mannered astronomer, but he has sworn an oath to use his talents to fight the Decepticons. Nevertheless, he's a reluctant fighter at best, and would much rather use his sensors, which can pick up transmissions from a parsec away, to examine the mysteries of the universe, rather than get literally dragged into battle by his brash combiner partner, Barrage. Heave may be tough, and like the rest of his teammates has cyclonic steel armor capable of protecting him from most energy blasts, but that doesn't change the fact that when his partner drags him into battle, Heave is rarely actually prepared. Not that his teammates on the Astro Squad are very sympathetic to the shy 'bot's plight whenever this happens. Most times, they'll just laugh. The jerks.<ref>More than Meets the Eye #3</ref>

And, his name is really unfortunate.

Fiction

[edit]

Beast Wars: Uprising

[edit]

Heave was stationed at a trans-hyperwave caster station in Proximax. When the Antares Eight stormed the tower, Bladez ripped Heave from his sniper's nest atop the structure, dropping him pleadingly to the ground below. Cultural Appropriation

Toys

The Transformers

[edit]

Heave can combine with the contents of your stomach to form a new barf mode.
  • Astro Squad (Micromaster Combiner Squad, 1990)
Released in the seventh and final year of the original Hasbro Transformers toyline in the US (sixth and non-final year in Europe), Heave transforms into a gray radar trailer that is intended to be the rear half of a lunar exploration vehicle that he forms with his combiner partner Barrage. As a Micromaster Combiner, he can of course combine with any other Micromaster Combiner or Micromaster Combiner Transport to form new vehicles.
He was only available in a six-pack with his fellow Astro Squad members Barrage, Blast Master, Missile Master, Moonrock, and Phaser.


  • Radar Hover W Team (Micro Transformer W Team, 1991)
  • ID number: C-366
  • Accessories: Micro Trailer #6
A year later, Heave was released in the Return of Convoy part of the original Takara Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, as part of the Radar Hover W Team.
The other three toys in the set are Barrage, Power Run, and Strikedown, all identical to their Hasbro-release versions. The set also comes with Micro Trailer #6, a storage/launching vehicle for Micromasters which can also attach to a Micromaster half-vehicle, plus a decal sheet with extra stickers to adorn your Micromasters with.
