My name causes physical pain!

Heavy-Liftor transforms into an orange dump truck. Sometimes he is a Mini-Con; other times he is a Micromaster.

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

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

Toys

Transformers (2010)

  • Minicon 8 Pack (multipack, 2010)
Heavy-Liftor is a redeco of Classics Wideload, transforming into an "earth-mover" dump truck. 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

  • 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.
