Heavy Labor
Heavy Labor is a fictional character made by TFClub in 2011 as a third party Transformer. He is an homage to the 1985 Transformers Constructicon Long Haul. Reprolabels made a label set for Heavy Labor that makes it look more like Generation 1 Long Haul.
Transformers
Heavy Labor is a third party Transformer and an homage to the Constructicon Long Haul. He combines with the other toys in his line to form Hercules, an homage to Devastator.[1]
Heavy Labor is incredibly strong and tough, very brave and has a good amount of firepower, but is also amazingly slow.
Prototype photos of Heavy Labor displayed it combined with Classic Scrapper and Bonecrusher as leg extensions.Cite error: Invalid <ref>

Heavy Labor was previewed at the Third Party Panel at TFcon 2011.[3]
