Heavy Barrel is a Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy.

Hi-diddly-ho, minirinos!

Heavy Barrel is a Mini-Cons hailing from a long-dead colony world, rescued by the Dedepticons and caught up in the events caused by the Unicron Singularity. He is perhaps the cheeriest, most friendly robot in all of existence, which is incredibly unnerving to friend and foe alike. People can at least comprehend the crazed cackling of a hyperviolent sadist in battle. Polite conversation and compliments during barrages? Not so much. It even creeps Buzzsaw out.


(Note: Heavy Barrel was given an English name and bio by the Transformers Collectors' Club website.)
Japanese name: Trigger


Toys

Cybertron

  • Trigger (Micron Booster, 2005)
Booster ID number: 5
Trigger is a redeco of the Mini-Con Crumplezone, transforming into a Cybertronic tank. He can also form a cockpit with under-slung cannon for the Armada Cyclonus mold, though the remolding on Cybertron Buzzsaw makes using him with that version difficult. Available only as part of the fourth Micron Booster assortment in Japan, Trigger came in a "blind-packed" box that prevented the buyer from knowing the contents of the box until it was opened.


Trivia

  • Many fans place Heavy Barrel as the Mini-Con partner of the Decepticon Buzzsaw, as Heavy Barrel's mold is the partner to the original mold used to make Cyclonus. However, the packaging for the assortment Heavy Barrel was available in does not give any of the Mini-Cons a faction affiliation, so there is nothing to officialty say who they work with, if anyone.
