- Deadlift is a Decepticon from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the movie continuity family.
Charged with carrying dead bodies from the battlefield to the smelting pool for repurposing, Deadlift doesn't have the most glamorous of jobs, but it's one he absolutely loves. What he doesn't like is Beachcomber. And that's too bad, because he's gonna have to fight him.
Fiction
[edit]IDW movie comics
[edit]With the Decepticons in disarray after the defeat of The Fallen, Deadlift threw in with Starscream in his plans to sell Cybertronian weapons to humans. Deadlift stood guard at Starscream's base in a junkyard outside of Mexico City, and when Shockwave arrived at the behest of Megatron to crush his operation, Deadlift was foolish enough to try and stand in his way. He was promptly blown to bits. Rising Storm #1
Ask Vector Prime
[edit]
When Sideways and Gong merged universal streams from the Primax and Gargent clusters, Spoons was thrown out of Astrotrain by Zero, and reformatted into Deadlift by Unicron. In the subsequent version of the Unicron War, Deadlift served the role that Scourge normally would, leading a unit of green-colored duplicates of himself called the Sweeps until Vec-Tor managed to reverse Sideways and Gong's meddling.

[edit]
- Road Rival Showdown (Scout Class 2-pack, 2010)
- Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro)
- Revenge of the Fallen Deadlift is an orange and silver redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Dirt Boss. In forklift mode, the loading mast cannot raise or lower, but it can tilt at a hinge near the carriage. Inside the cab there is a seat and a (non-functional) distinctive forklift steering wheel. In robot mode, Deadlift's vehicle forks are mounted on his arms as blades.
- A Walmart exclusive, Deadlift comes packaged with Beachcomber. This package is included in the N.E.S.T. Global Alliance promotion.
Notes
[edit]
- Deadlift is an homage to Spoons from the Tonka GoBots series; he even has a tampograph reading "MR-34", the ID number molded onto the original toy (there is also a "34" sticker on him to boot).
- Deadlift goes unnamed (and somewhat off-color) in Rising Storm #1. But since his mold-mate Dirt Boss was killed in Nefarious #4, well, we're gonna go with Deadlift. (Not that Dirt Boss would be the only "not dead anymore" character in Rising Storm...) John Barber admitted that he did script the character as being Dirt Boss, but that the issue's artists jumped in to make the correction.
