Heavywait is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
If Bluster shows up, we quit.

Back when the Decepticons were just a two-bit gang of malcontents, Heavywait was already leveraging her black market connections to supply Megatron and his future allies with the big guns they'd need to effectively wage war—at a discount, no less.
