- Big Hoss is an Autobot from the movie continuity family (via the Speed Stars series).
Big Hoss ain't much of an Autobot. He doesn't much care about the rights of sentient beings or the lives of little ol' aliens caught in his species' endless wars of aggression. All that matters to Big Hoss is power, and it's his opinion that the Decepticons wouldn't know what to do with real power if it bit them on the bumper.
It don't matter, though—he can show 'em what real power is. Real firepower.

Notes
[edit]- Big Hoss was originally conceived as a new incarnation of Mudslinger, with a more G1-esque blue altmode coloration considered at one point.[1]
- As with a lot of new characters introduced in the 2010~2011 toy lines, Big Hoss's bio info does not have any information that ties him to a specific franchise. He was only confirmed to be part of the live-action film series franchise when he was released under the Dark of the Moon banner.
- His package art features his spring-loaded missile launcher mounted on the robot's back, nicely tying the imaginary robot mode with the actual toy.
