Fiction

Wings Universe

The burly Terror-Tread and Cement-Head were brothers working for Rage and his Stormtroopers during the early days of the Decepticon rebellion. When Rage's troops attacked Median to uncover the Heart of the Dragon, Terror-Tread and Cement-Head gleefully joined in the fight against the Elite Guard soldiers stationed there. After scattering the Autobots forces, the brothers used their unique cubic vehicle modes to plow into one another, cutting off the Autobots' pursuit of Rage and his lackeys. During the fight, however, Terror-Tread had stepped on Over-Run's attack drone, whose location beacon was still firing. The Elite Guard used this signal to trace the Stormtroopers back to the Metrotitan. Terror-Tread and Cement-Head rushed out to greet their playmates again, and eagerly prepared to slam into one another, with the Autobots caught in the middle. At Onslaught's direction, though, Swindle used Vortex's semi-automatic glue gun to catch the bash brothers when they collided, leaving them stuck together and hopelessly unable to agree on a single direction to drive in.

Toys

The Transformers

• Cannon Transport (Micromaster Decepticon Combiner Transport, 1990)

• Accessories: 2-part Cannon Transport, 2 cannons, left & right shields/ramps

Released in the seventh and final year of the original The Transformers toyline in the US (sixth and not-final in Europe), Cement-Head is a redeco of Micromaster Combiner Sledge, transforming into the front half of a stone-blue Wabco Haulpak 3200B “off highway” dump truck trailer. He is intended to be combined with his partner Terror-Tread to form a complete dump truck. Of course, he can combine with any other Micromaster Combiner or Combiner Transport as well to form new (made-up) vehicles.

He and Terror-Tread were only available packed in with the Cannon Transport, a heavily armed truck-like thing that transforms into a battle base.
