My name causes physical pain!

Heavy-Liftor transforms into an orange dump truck. Sometimes he is a Mini-Con; other times he is a Micromaster.


Fiction

[edit]

Ask Vector Prime

[edit]

Vector Prime first noticed Heavy-Liftor in Aurex 503.01 Gamma, but noted that a Micromaster version of him existed in Primax 209.0 Gamma, and at least some of his compatriots existed as full-sized Autobots and Decepticons in Primax 1005.19 Gamma. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/24

Transformers (2010)

[edit]
  • Minicon 8 Pack (Multi-pack, 2010)
Transformers Heavy-Liftor is a redeco of Classics Wideload, transforming into an "earth-mover" dump truck. As a Mini-Con, he has a "Powerlinx" socket that allows him to connect to larger toys with compatible plugs; however, Wideload's socket is on the top of his dump-bed, on a hinged piece that doesn't lock down attached to another hinged piece that doesn't lock down, making him incredibly awkward to Powerlinx with other toys.
He was only available as part of the European-market exclusive "Minicon 8 Pack" box set with Buckshot, Ironside, Barrel Roll, Iron Claw, Diveplane, Reachout, and Airlift.
This mold was also used to make Refuser, Universe Knockdown, and Mighty Dozer.

Notes

[edit]
  • Heavy-Liftor is pretty blatantly decoed to resemble the Generation 1 Throttlebot Wideload. We're guessing the alignment came after the deco.
  • The Minicon[sic] 8 Pack gives no indication whatsoever what continuity these eight Mini-Cons hail from. In 2015, the Facebook version of Ask Vector Prime simultaneously established the pack members as Unicron Trilogy Mini-Cons and Generation 1 sometimes-Micromasters.
  • The stock photography for Heavy-Liftor shows him with orange paint on his "midriff" section. The final product, however, only has unpainted black plastic there.
