Big Hauler is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Oh, joy, another complainer.

The Autobot army has its share of negative nellies, and Big Hauler is the one (well, one of two) on the Monster Truck Patrol. He seemingly never has anything positive to say about any situation. However, this downer attitude only fuels his drive to overcome the sheer level of adversity he sees ahead of him. The light at the end of the tunnel may be there because the tunnel is on fire, but after that...?
