Deadlift is a Decepticon from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film series continuity family.
"He tried to kill me as a forklift! Olé!"

Charged with carrying dead bodies from the battlefield to the smelting pool for repurposing, Deadlift doesn't have the most glamorous of jobs, but it's one he absolutely loves. What he doesn't like is Beachcomber. And that's too bad, because he's gonna have to fight him.

Revenge of the Fallen

  • Road Rival Showdown (Scout two-pack, 2010)
Deadlift is an orange and silver redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Dirt Boss, an homage to Spoons of the Tonka GoBots. (He even has "MR-34" tampographed on his side; the ID number molded onto the original Spoons toy.) In forklift mode, the loading mast cannot raise or lower, but it can tilt at a hinge near the carriage. Inside the cab there is a seat and a (non-functional) distinctive forklift steering wheel. In robot mode, Deadlift's vehicle forks are mounted on his arms as blades.
A Walmart exclusive, Deadlift comes packaged versus Beachcomber. This package is included in the NEST Global Alliance promotion.
