| The name or term "Landfill" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Landfill (disambiguation). |
- Landfill is an Autobot Targetmaster from 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.
His Targetmaster partners Flintlock and Silencer try to make Landfill understand that if he wants to make friends, he has to work on his hygiene, but this effort is to no avail.
- French-Canadian name: Décharge

Landfill was present when Powermaster Optimus Prime led the Autobots againt the joint Decepticon leaders Shockwave and Megatron, who had tried to hijack the oil reserves of Alaska. The Autobots drove off the Decepticons, but not before Quickmix shot a minibot because he turned off his targetting computer. Optimus then sat his troops down and explained to them the differences between Autobots and Decepticons. Transformers in Action: Attack at Dawn
Landfill was among the Autobots monitoring the Decepticons from a distance when Megatron made peaceful gestures to Humanity in New York City. The Autobots returned to the Ark and discovered that a statue of Snaptrap that the Decepticons had gifted to New York was actually Snaptrap in disguise. Snaptrap went on a rampage and the Decepticons used this distraction to attack various other targets. Optimus Prime led the Autobots to narrowly defeat this menace. Transformers in Action: The Troy Principle
He took part in the rescue effort when an oil tanker was hijacked by the Decepticons. Transformers in the Battle for Peace: A Big Day for Powermaster Optimus Prime
When the Decepticons stole three nuclear missiles from the United State Federation to hold the world to ransom, Optimus Prime put the entire burden of discovering their whereabouts on the shoulders of the Double Targetmasters, who were sent to scout possible locations.Transformers in Action: Megatron's Ultimatum
Generation 2 cartoon
Many millions of years ago, on the planet Cybertron, life existed. But not life as we know it today. Intelligent robots that could think and feel inhabited the cities. Apparently among those robots were the Autobots Landfill, Quickmix, and Scoop, who transformed from their vehicle modes and shot at some unknown attackers. More than Meets the Eye, Part 1
IDW comics continuity
Several hundred years ago, Landfill was sharing a foxhole with Jazz and Smokescreen on Cybertron, waiting for the latest broadcast from Blaster, the Voice of the war movement.
The broadcast... never came. Spotlight: Blaster
After the Surge, Landfill was stationed in the Morobishi Canyons of Karashi Delta. The Autobots won that fight thanks to Landfill's courageous commander, the aerial strategist Rotorstorm. Bullets
Toys
Generation 1
- Landfill (Targetmaster, 1988)
- Landfill transforms into a beige and brown off-road earth-moving dump truck, with a non-functional dumping tray (can't even put anything in it) due to his unusual arm transformation sequence. His Targetmaster partners Flintlock and Silencer (or any other accessories with handle pegs of the correct size) can be stored in the two peg holes on either side of the dumping tray.
- In robot mode it is revealed that the reason his tray is non-functional is because the arms are stored within two flip-over panels. As was the standard of smaller Generation 1 toys of this era, Landfill has very limited articulation, all located in his ratcheting shoulder joints (and one has to hold the arm panels in place while rotating the arms themselves). Flintlock and Silencer can become two separate handguns, or either can attach to the rear of the other gun to form a single rifle.
- No version of this character or mold was released in Japan.
Notes
- Though his personal hygiene may imply the contrary, Landfill is a robot and has probably never been to BotCon. You probably, ahem, detected somebody else.
