Car carrier trailer

The car carrier trailer is an Autobot Micromaster vehicle from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Dude! Put that thing away! There are, like, children here!

Overload tows the car carrier trailer into battle. There, the trailer converts to a Mach 2 jet fighter armed with wing-mounted machine guns. The jet mode can also operate on water.

Commercial appearances

Alongside dozens of other Micromasters, Erector drove the car carrier trailer in its attack mode, to counter the onslaught of Zarak Maximus.

The car carrier trailer was among the various Micromaster bases and transports seen in a Micromaster city, which was small enough to be held in its entirety by Optimus Prime, in one hand.

Generation 1

Hi, I'm Overload, not the other car-carrier guy.

• Overload (Micromaster Transport, 1989)

Overload was sold carded with his car carrier. The trailer can haul up to four Micromasters, two on the upper deck and two more on the lower deck, accessible via a fold-down ramp. However, there is no securing mechanism for the top level, so any passengers up there are in for quite a ride. The carrier converts to a jet mode, with an open cockpit that Overload can sit in. A "front bar" swings over him so he doesn't come flying out.

• Roadjet (Micro TF DX, 1990)

The car carrier toy was sold in Japan without changes as a "Micro TF DX" vehicle during Zone.

Notes

• As with most Micromaster accessories, the name "car carrier trailer" comes from the toy's instructions.
