Unknown Constructicon dump truck

Payload is a Decepticon Constructicon from Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film series continuity family

Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell,
But I've been seen with Megan.
I'm never seen with anything less than a nine, so fine.

They might fall from a tall building,
They might roll a brand new car.
'Cause they're the "unknown Constructicon" that made Devastator such a star.

Fiction

Revenge of the Fallen film

During the climactic battle in Egypt between the Autobots, their human allies and The Fallen's Decepticons, The Constructicon Payload appeared in a quarry with the other Constructicons, and combined with Skipjack to form Devastator's leg. When Devastator was destroyed by the experimental rail gun fired from the USS Kidd, Payload was presumably killed. However there is a theory that payload along with skipjack, hightower, buckethead, scrapper, and long haul, survived. Then it was theorized that payload went on to become canopy.

Notes

• Though Payload has a similar alternate mode to another one of Devastator's components, Long Haul, it uses a different, longer model of dump truck.
• Oddly, the dump truck that transforms into Supreme Devastator's right leg is supposed to represent Long Haul and is thus green, though the shape and details of the vehicle look much more like Payload than Long Haul's alternate mode.
• When asked, Hasbro neither had a name for this poor sod nor recognised their existence as a part of Devastator (saying there were only seven Constructicons in Devastator).
  • As of the Studio Series line, Hasbro/TakaraTomy have still neglected to acknowledge the existence of this Constructicon, despite changing their original stance on how many Constructicons form Devastator.
