Mah poor wee bairns cannae take it nae mair!

Heavy Load is the Mini-Con partner to the rebellious Menasor. Though he does his duty supporting the colossal machine to the best of his ability, he appears to be more level-headed than his partner, and isn't as disenfranchised with the planet's laws as the larger bot is. Since Menasor is his best friend though, he goes along with him on his ventures anyways. He typically rides in a special compartment inside Menasor's chest, coming out only to do certain specialized jobs, or to stop Menasor from doing something very stupid.

Basically, his main job is to act as Menasor's Jiminy Cricket. Don't say that to either of their faces, though.<ref>Heavy Load's profile in Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club #15</ref>

Fiction

No, I'm Spartacus!

Heavy Load presumably remained ensconced inside Menasor's chest through his larger partner's whole involvement with the Decepticons. However, when Menasor and Metroplex began to brawl while the other Autobots and Decepticons were busy trying to get the Gigantion Cyber Planet Key from the ancient spaceship Lemuria, Heavy Load apparently had enough.

Fearing the two would likely kill each other, Heavy Load forcibly ejected from his compartment within Menasor, and stood between the two combatants, quickly joined by Metroplex's Mini-Con partner Drill Bit. The two giants realized the futility of their fight and the arrogance they both were displaying, and came to terms with each other... and Menasor vowed to help the Autobots defeat his former teammates. Optimus

After the death of Galvatron, Heavy Load joined Drill Bit, Stripmine, and Safeguard in saying goodbye to the Recon Mini-Con Team, who were staying behind on Earth to be with their human friends. Beginning

If you can't find 'em, grind 'em.
  • Menasor (Ultra Class, 2006)
Cybertron Heavy Load transforms into a Cybertronic dump truck with a front-mounted "ramming scoop". In this mode, he can also fit in between the halves of Menasor's vehicle-mode ramming scoop, forming the pair's "assault mode". In robot mode, he can fit snugly into a compartment inside Menasor's torso. He was only available with his larger partner.
Heavy Load is the shortest Mini-Con toy, not even able to look the tiny Ramjet face-to-face in robot mode. However, he's also a very wide Mini-Con, with a decently-sized vehicle mode.
In Japan, "Moledive" and "Bull-Bull" were only available through e-HOBBY's online ordering service in October of 2006... ten months after Galaxy Force stopped in Japan. He was basically an unchanged Hasbro release complete with packaging, just now with a sticker on the bottom of the box of Japanese legal information, which is also the only place on the packaging that calls him "Moledive".
