Big Hauler is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Oh, joy, another complainer.

The Autobot army has its share of negative nellies, and Big Hauler is the one (well, one of two) on the Monster Truck Patrol. He seemingly never has anything positive to say about any situation. However, this downer attitude only fuels his drive to overcome the sheer level of adversity he sees ahead of him. The light at the end of the tunnel may be there because the tunnel is on fire, but after that...?

In 2038, Big Hauler was on Zone when it was invaded by the forces of Violengiguar and Unicron Neo. Along with a number of fellow Micromasters, he swarmed the possessed body of Dai Atlas, distracting the Decepticon spirit inside until heavier weaponry could be brought to the battlefield.

Big Hauler was one of many Micromasters activated in the closing days of the war before the Great Shutdown. He chose to side with the Autobots, and partnered up with his fellow monster truck, Hydraulic. The two of them were trying to help Big Daddy's patrol get Roadbuster to safety on the battlefield when Crunch was killed by stray enemy fire. Destined for Nothing
