Heavy Load

Color Scheme:

About 80% yellow, with some gray parts, mostly the connectors and upper limbs. His wheels/tires are black, and he has some black, gray, blue, and red painted accents. His robot face has red "shades" on.

Robot Mode:

Pretty stocky build, with large upper arms and lower legs, and thin thighs and forearms. He's got big Crusty the Clown style floppy feet (or toes, I guess) and a wonderfully funny smirk on his face. His only weapon or accessory is his dump truck err... hopper, I guess. It comes off and can be held in either hand, either upside down or right side up depending on which peg you have him hold.

Vehicle Mode:

An oversized dump truck. I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be one of those huge ore trucks that are bigger than a 3 story building. Anyway, he looks pretty good to me. His wheels might be a little small for such a dump truck, and his ground clearance is much too low, but I can forgive those shortcomings for a clever transformation and a decent looking robot mode.

Transformation:

Simple but effective. His legs extend a bit (even more for his component mode to LandFill), his arms fold out from his sides and then forward at his shoulders, then his head comes up from his vehicle mode cab.

Gimmicks:

His dump truck hopper can be wielded as a weapon, and kind of as a shield because it's so big. The gimmick is that it opens and shuts like a big pair of jaws. Kind of silly, and I wish they were spring loaded or something for better playability. The other problem is that his arms are a little too weak to hold the thing in any position that doesn't let it rest on the ground.

Pros/Cons:

Blocky robot mode and weak arms, but nice looking vehicle mode and a great smile on his face. :)
