Official bio art for Cybertron Heavy Load, as it appears in the "Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club Official Magazine".

Gigantion really is one of my all-time favorite TF concepts... well, ever. And it honks me off to see the potential it has so squandered. Which is even sadder since the cartoon actually managed to make Menasor rather likable as a "bad guy".

Any rate. Heavy Load is kind of Menasor's "conscience", going with him in his rebellion against Gigantion's (admittedly stupid) laws out of friendship, but also trying to steer the youth back. (In the show, this manifested as Heavy Load just popping up to deus-ex-machina away the plot thread that was going nowhere. Hrngh.) So I wanted to portray that without the benefit of a humanoid face. Body language is important, and I'm hoping I got the right look down for him.
