Heavy Load (Universe)
From MediaWiki
| The name or term "Heavy Load" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Heavy Load (disambiguation). |
- Heavy Load is a Decepticon from the Universe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Heavy Load is a chemist who used to work for the good of all, but centuries of experiments have taken their toll. His cognitive systems were degraded through chemical exposure, leaving him a different bot than he used to be, unrecognizable to his peers. The concoctions that warped him are now his stock-in-trade, as he sells poisons and bombs to Decepticon gangs and tests new creations on Autobot captives.
He might be Mixmaster. Or Quickmix. Or maybe he's always been Heavy Load. Even he probably doesn't know.

- Decepticon Heavy Load with Drillbit Mini-Con! (Voyager)
- Accessories: Missile, key
- Heavy Load is a redeco of Cybertron Quickmix in yellow, dull green, and black, transforming into a Cybertronic cement mixer, with a drum that actually turns (on a ratcheting joint, though). The top of the mixing assembly flips up to reveal a control panel for Heavy Load's pack-in Mini-Con Drillbit to stand on; pegs fold out that plug into holes in Drillbit's arms for stability.
- In robot mode, plugging the Key into the key jack on his drum splits it open and reveals his spring-loaded missile launcher. The "pipe" piece on his left arm is actually removable, and can be repositioned on his arm, or even used as a hand-held "blaster" thanks to its Powerlinx peg. He also has an alternate "work" robot mode, which basically just pushes his hips up into his torso and raises his shoulders up as well. He comes with a yellow-bordered black Gigantion-style Cyber Planet Key.
