He looks really good, although he looks more Decepticon than Autobot with the mean looking red eyes, and the whole head sculpt just screams Decepticon. But he is an Autobot.

Still, i like him. definitely gonna get him.

Wow he's badass looking... too bad he's a Bot.

He looks ok, but there is a definut air of 'cheap' about his alt mode...

Nice alt mode, and a clever transformation. He has a much more well proportioned body than Dropkick.

He will be joining my collection.

Thanks for sharing, Mega.

So he's a `Bot, so what? I wish *more* `Bots looked this badass. However, you could slap a `Con insignia over the `Bot and call him a `Con. Of course, a lot of the movie game TFs are mass-produced drones that both `Bots and `Cons use, and the only difference is the head, so theoretically you could buy two of all the drones, slap an opposite insignia over whichever insignia it comes with, and let the army building begin! :p

The only thing I don't like about Longarm is that his gun is attached to his arm. But I still like him and will definately get him.

So I was going to front page it, and Professor Smooth did it first. Thanks for sharing the cool pics.

Ahahah!! .....Orson's towing...heheh. If this guy had black body & silver arms instead of this color scheme, he'd totally be a Decepticon. Still, who to say someone here won't do a re-paint.....hmmmmm.....oh, the feet remind me of Classics Mirage. Doesn't he have those duck-like feet?

the movies version is Mike's Towing though, not orsons

The non-movie Transformers will have great potential for Botcon exclusive figures next year...

-Swindle as Shockwave
-Longarm as Hoist
-Dropkick as Trailbreaker

And so on.

Nice. Another must buy. Isnt that the truck from the movie? It looks alot like the one BB rides on in the trailer.

Very sweet figure. Maybe there's hope for the non-Movie movie toys, after all!

Love those colours, and that head design is awesome!

I feel bad for all these great non-movie designs that couldn't make it to the big screen. First Wreckage, now Longarm (or "Hoist" I believe he will be called in the videogame)...

Very cool, two thumbs up!
