Fiction
[edit]Ask Vector Prime
[edit]Vector Prime first noticed Heavy-Liftor in Aurex 503.01 Gamma, but noted that a Micromaster version of him existed in Primax 209.0 Gamma, and at least some of his compatriots existed as full-sized Autobots and Decepticons in Primax 1005.19 Gamma. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/24

[edit]Transformers (2010)
[edit]- Minicon 8 Pack (Multi-pack, 2010)
- Transformers Heavy-Liftor is a redeco of Classics Wideload, transforming into an "earth-mover" dump truck. As a Mini-Con, he has a "Powerlinx" socket that allows him to connect to larger toys with compatible plugs; however, Wideload's socket is on the top of his dump-bed, on a hinged piece that doesn't lock down attached to another hinged piece that doesn't lock down, making him incredibly awkward to Powerlinx with other toys.
- He was only available as part of the European-market exclusive "Minicon 8 Pack" box set with Buckshot, Ironside, Barrel Roll, Iron Claw, Diveplane, Reachout, and Airlift.
- This mold was also used to make Refuser, Universe Knockdown, and Mighty Dozer.

Notes
[edit]- Heavy-Liftor is pretty blatantly decoed to resemble the Generation 1 Throttlebot Wideload. We're guessing the alignment came after the deco.
- The Minicon[sic] 8 Pack gives no indication whatsoever what continuity these eight Mini-Cons hail from. In 2015, the Facebook version of Ask Vector Prime simultaneously established the pack members as Unicron Trilogy Mini-Cons and Generation 1 sometimes-Micromasters.
- The stock photography for Heavy-Liftor shows him with orange paint on his "midriff" section. The final product, however, only has unpainted black plastic there.
