Buffalo Dump

Buffalo Dump is a hideous experiment from the Timelines portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

A Buffalo Dump is the last thing you want to find on your doorstep.

"A creature of instinct" describes Buffalo Dump. Part Cybertronian, part mechanimal, he and the Minotorons he leads are creations of the Decepticon Rage. Buffalo Dump cannot be reasoned with, and any firepower you hit him with will just make him angrier — the one way to control him is via high-frequency sound. Rage keeps him and his fellows in a specially-constructed area of the Metrotitan, with computer banks devoted to taking care of their feeding, exercise and waste processes.

Fiction

Timelines: Wings of Honor

Rage was being pursued by an Elite Guard team after stealing the Heart of the Dragon, so once he reached the Metrotitan, he unleashed Buffalo Dump and the three Minotorons. The four creatures stamped down Metrotitan's entrance ramp and Rage used a speaker attached to Buffalo Dump to introduce his creations to the confused Autobots. The Combaticons opened fire, but quickly discovered that that Minotorons' hides were thick enough to simply deflect the lasers. After dodging the creatures, Dion remembered a doohicky that Swindle happened to have that might help. Said device's sonic emissions repelled the Minotorons, which headed back towards the Metrotitan. Dion, Blast Off and Swindle hid in the creatures' truck beds, allowing them to sneak into the Decepticon fortress and open the doors for their fellows outside. Flames of Yesterday

Originally intended for a "Motor World" subline of Transformers, Buffalo Dump never got past the concept art stage. He would have taken the form of a robot with a fused dump truck/buffalo alternate mode.
