This article is about the Generation One truck with the poor hygiene. For the combiner from Robots in Disguise, see Landfill (RID).
Landfill is an Autobot Targetmaster in the Generation 1 continuity family.

Why doesn't anybody like Landfill? Why do they step (very far) to the side when he passes by? He can't understand it. He's a really nice guy. He's always happy. He's good at his job, and he always does what he is told. Why, then, do his friends avoid him? This makes him very sad.

His comrades know the answer very well, but how do you tell a bot that he should clean his bodywork every once in a while, without upsetting him and making him think he's being insulted? It wouldn't help, anyway...he'd not see the need to clean up even if directly ordered to do so. It's a shame Landfill can't just realize on his own that if one is not to be selective about which cargoes he hauls, then one must be willing to use a little surfactant and solvent on occasion.


(Note: Though the above may imply the contrary, Landfill is a robot and has probably never been to Botcon. You probably, ahem, detected somebody else).
