Wide Load (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.

Wideload was a member of the strike force assembled by Rodimus Prime to retrieve the body of Optimus Prime from Mark Morgan and Gregory Swafford. During the mission he became infected with the Hate Plague.

Wideload later participated in the defense of Autobot City during the attack launched by Galvatron to divert attention while the Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber was stolen.
