Wideload (G1)

Wideload is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity
Wideload, a Throttlebot who transforms into a dump truck, can haul as much as one million pounds in his role as a materials transporter. This sort of work keeps him pretty filthy most of the time yet, paradoxically, he's a neat freak. Highly superficial, he prides himself on his appearance and judges others on theirs. His unusual susceptibility to rust is thus a source of embarassment.
