voiceby =Squeezeplay is a Decepticon Headmaster who charges into battle without thinking. He detests thinking in any form and considers it weakness. His partner Lokos is a Nebulan criminal who has experience in piracy and smuggling. His sneaky nature doesn't match well with Squeezeplay's attitude.

Although the U.S. animated series was canceled before Squeezeplay was released, he did appear in animated form in Transformers commercials. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf-MDd7cdi0]

In Japan the character of Cancer appeared in the "Masterforce" series, with his appearance based on Squeezeplay, although he was treated as a completely seperate character.

Marvel Comics

Squeezeplay and the other Decepticon second wave Headmasters were presumably with the Scorponok's Decepticons through "" series, but were not depicted. He seemingly gained a Headmaster partner on Nebulos. His first appearance was in issue #46, called "Cash and Car-Nage!".

Squeezeplay would appear again in issue #49, "The Underbase Saga Part 3, Cold War!" In this story he was a member of the Decepticon forces under Scorponok's command. They were tricked into fighting the Decepticon forces under Ratbat's command by Starscream, who used the battle to steal Scorponok's ship and get to the Underbase.

Squeezeplay would appear again in issue #74, "The Void!" On Cybertron the combined forces of the Autobots and Decepticons were called home by the power Primus to battle Unicron. He aided in battle when a group on Unicron-possessed cultists attempted to kill Optimus Prime.

Squeezeplay appeared in issue #75, "On the Edge of Extinction!" He was depicted as fleeing at the initial sight of Unicron's attack on Cybertron.

Squeezeplay appeared in issue #79, "The Last Autobot!" He was among the Decepticon forces under the command of Bludgeon who slaughtered the natives of the planet Klo.

His last appearance in the U.S. Marvel comic series would be in issue #80 "End of the Road!"

"The second wave of Decepticon Headmasters would appear in the U.K. Marvel comic issue #234, "Prime's Rib!" This story is set in the near future, 1995, where Optimus Prime, Jazz and Hot Rod introduce the latest Autobot, Arcee, to the human feminists. She was met with displeasure by the humans, being called a token female and disliked for her pink color. They were then attacked by Shockwave, Fangry, Horri-Bull and Squeezeplay, who thought the Autobot would be unvieling a new weapon. The Autobots fought off the Decepticons, who escaped, but nothing seemed to please the human feminists."

Dreamwave Productions

Squeezeplay was a member of the Predacons under the command of Starscream in the second "War Within" series. He was present when they were raided by the Lightning Strike Coalition. Presumably this would have been before he became a Headmaster.
