First Transformers

• Dump Truck (1986, 1987, 1993)
  • Takara name: Dump-kun
  • Takara ID number: C-002

Dump-kun transforms from a dump truck with a front loader into a tall, blocky robot. The truck bed can ratchet up and down to dump whatever is inside and he features articulation at his shoulders.

Like all three First Transformers toys, Dump-kun was first released in the United States in 1986 just as the nameless 'Dump Truck' but received the moniker 'Dump-kun' when released in Japan the following year. Dump-kun was again released in 1993 with new paint operations such as a silver robot face as well as new stickers.
