Dumper was one of the names in a word find that had to be solved to win a copy of the Challenge of the Gobots video game from Your Sinclair magazine.[5]
Dumper was chosen as the 9th goofiest Gobot name by Topless Robot.[6]
The Guardians set up a lab to test their power suits on Earth. Cy-Kill, Cop-Tur, Crasher, Geeper-Creeper, Pincher, and Snoop attacked the lab, but it was defended by Leader-1, Baron Von Joy, Blaster, Dozer, Dumper, Road Ranger, Scooter, Scratch and Turbo. Although the Guardians were winning the battle, an accidental backfire from Baron Von Joy's weapon allowed the Renegades to escape. [7]
Dumper was featured in the 1986 children's book Collision Course Comet - Robo Machine Featuring The Challenge Of Gobots where he fought the Renegade Gobot Crasher.[8]
