Dump Shovel W Team
From Transformers Wiki
- The Dump Shovel W Team is a team of Autobot Micromasters from the Return of Convoy portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
They may be a construction squad, but the Dump Shovel W Team (ダンプショベルWチーム Danpu Shoberu Daburu Chīmu, lit. "Dump Shovel Double Team") are usually found on the front lines. It's just that they're there building fortifications and laying traps for any Decepticons trying to halt the Battlestars' advance.
The Team consists of:
- Sledge the dump truck front half
- Hammer the dump truck back half
- Grit the shovel truck front half
- Knockout the shovel truck back half

- Dump Shovel W Team (Micro Transformer W Team, 1991)
- ID number: C-367
- Accessories: Micro Trailer #7
- Released in the Return of Convoy part of the original Takara Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, the Dump Shovel W Team is made up of two pairs of Micromasters who each transform into half of a larger vehicle, able to swap around to make some interesting combinations. Sledge and Hammer form a dump truck, while Grit and Knockout form a shovel truck (all identical to their Hasbro-release Decepticon Constructor Squad and Metro Squad counterparts, respectively).
- On top of that, the set comes with Micro Trailer #7, a storage/launching vehicle for Micromasters which can also attach to a Micromaster half-vehicle, plus an extra decal sheet with optional stickers to adorn your Team with.
Notes
- The letter "W" is often used in Japanese media in place of the word "double", as the letter "W" (double-u) is pronounced the same as "double" in Japanese (daburu), making them interchangeable with one another. This same word play scheme was previously used for the W Cassettebots during The Headmasters.
