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.

looks awesome, needs to be frontpaged

reminds me alot of a beast wars figure for some reason too :-?

Click the link.

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

one word: grimlock........ if they called him movie grimlock i would totally go for it..... you know what when i grt him that's what i'll call him

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.

Frontpaged and credited.

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?

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2007 8:17 pm**

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.

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2007 8:41 pm**

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

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2007 8:59 pm**

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!

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2007 9:10 pm**

A tow truck? that is cool

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2007 9:15 pm**

Very nice figure...definite buy for me :-)

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2007 9:16 pm**

Want. So. Hard.

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2007 9:17 pm**

Looks great, I'm definetly buying that figure.

A little dry brushing and some paint and its gonna look awesome.

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2007 9:18 pm**

Excellent figure.

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2007 9:20 pm**

he definitely looks good. May have to pick this one up.

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2007 9:23 pm**

Regrettably, I'll pass on this one, most likely. He looks too "wide" and stalky for my tastes. I like Dropkick a LOT more.

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2007 9:32 pm**

Wow. That's gotta be one of (if not THE) best looking deluxe that I've seen in this entire line. Definately getting that one.
