The Loader Dozer (sometimes spelled Loader-Dozer) is a heavy-duty vehicle used by the Rock Raiders for clearing away large amounts of stone. It is a four-wheeled bulldozer with a gigantic scoop that can quickly clear rubble, smash through loose walls, and carry large amounts of cargo.

In the PC game

In the Windows PC version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the Loader Dozer is classified as a large vehicle, and requires four Energy Crystals for power. A Rock Raider must be trained as a driver to use a Loader Dozer.

The Loader Dozer can clear away rubble significantly faster than a Rock Raider with a shovel can. By default, it moves at a relatively slow speed of 0.5 blocks per second. Though the manual states that it can carry cargo with its scoop, it actually needs to be upgraded in order to carry any cargo. With this upgrade, it begins collecting materials and carrying them back to Rock Raiders HQ, distracting it from clearing rubble; for this reason, it's probably better to ignore this upgrade and just use Small Transport Trucks for hauling exclusively.

Appearances

  • In Run The Gauntlet, a Loader Dozer can be found in the hidden cavern with the lake, along with a Cargo Carrier. It serves no actual purpose to the player, as it cannot board the Cargo Carrier.

Upgrades

  • Carry Capability: Costs 5 pieces of Ore
    Adds two small Cargo Holds to the back of the vehicle, allowing it to carry 2 materials[verify].

Although the PlayStation version of LEGO Rock Raiders lacks rubble, the Loader Dozer is still an available vehicle in this game. Here, it has gained the ability to smash through Dirt and Loose Rock just by driving into it, and can quickly clear away spider webs that would trap any other vehicles. It is fairly uncommon in the PAL version, while in the NTSC-U/C version it appears much more frequently, and has gained the ability to squish Spiders and Scorpions under its wheels. Despite being such a powerful vehicle, it's usually not considered necessary for completion, since it can't smash through Hard Rock, and Pusher Beams can also clear webs.
