| The name or term "Payload" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Payload (disambiguation). |
- Payload is a Decepticon-allied Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy.
Payload, like his fellow Lunar Assault Mini-Con Team members, spends his time attacking the normally-serene Exploration Mini-Con Team. Though he is physically one of the strongest Mini-Cons, Payload doesn't like to use his strength in combat; he'd rather outwit an opponent. As such, rather than engage his foe in a one-on-one brawl like Kobushi, Payload battles his "rival" Ascentor with brains, setting traps in the hopes of one day ensnaring the brilliant Mini-Con.
