| This article is about the Decepticon from Robots in Disguise. For the Decepticon Kreon, see Springload (Kre-O). |
- Springload is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
To say that Springload is unbalanced would be an understatement. The Decepticon Amphiboid is completely consumed by a single goal: to discover the mythical Cybertronian city of Doradus. It's a goal that's resulted in more than a few criminal offences along the way, and eventually earned him a spot aboard the prison ship Alchemor. Now that he's on the loose, he's ready to keep indulging his dangerous obsession.

Springload's long search for Doradus resulted in him trashing museum staff and guards alike. Rumble in the Jungle He was imprisoned aboard the Alchemor in a stasis pod, and broke free when the ship crashed on Earth. Pilot (Part 1) He resumed his search in a South American forest, attempting to interrogate stone carvings in the belief they knew where Doradus was. The Autobots Bumblebee and Strongarm tracked him down, pursuing him into a ruined temple. His acidic skin allowed him to break free of his pursuers and after the pair narrowly escaped a collapsing room, Springload believed they had died and become ghosts. Strongarm impersonated a spirit and told him he was unworthy to find Doradus, confusing Springload enough to allow Bumblebee to trap him in a stone box. Rumble in the Jungle

Quillfire, who had escaped from his stasis pod, freed Springload as part of a Decepticon jailbreak. Quillfire won over the other Decepticon by pretending to be in touch with the "spirits", and persuaded Springload to come along with him. The duo managed to break into a human military base and commandeer an experimental tank; Quillfire assured his increasingly skeptical partner that the human contraption would carry them to Doradus. When the Autobots intervened, Quillfire and Springload were forced to fight against the far more agile Jetstorm and Slipstream. Springload wound up accidentally kicking Quillfire, who accused his partner of harming the leader of the revolution. Springload, realizing that Quillfire had been lying to him all this time, finally snapped and attacked him. The two Decepticons began fighting, destroying the tank. Both of them tried to escape and were summarily recaptured. One of Our Mini-Cons Is Missing
