Who's had Longarm tow BB yet?

Posted by Phenotype Tue Sep 04, 2007 11:05 am

I'll admit, I couldn't wait to get Longarm so I could recreate the famous scene from the movie with leg-less BB riding on him. I finally found him the other day and now they proudly sit on my desk, Longarm in truck mode and BB in robot mode riding on top. I transformed BB's legs to make it look like they were blown off, my wife thinks it's hilarious.

What?? No, I said I transformed BB's legs back into car form to give the illusion they are gone.

Go ahead and pop his legs off his hips for realism. You can always just pop them back on the ball joints later.

This.

Or you could even pop the waist off.

Yeah, I noticed he tows Barricade the best, mainly due to the placement of the back tires.

If hiding the leg is doable, i wouldn't unscrew or pop off anything.

I've been contemplating getting Longarm. Is he that good? How is he compared to 09 BB?

I totally would. Longarm is the only new deluxe I've been able to find (that I want, that is... sorry Payload... sorry Dreadwind). He's extremely poseable (if you get one with good joints), and he's got some pretty cool detailing. I freaking love his headsculpt, and I think he's the only guy I have that has orange light piping.

Regarding the towing scene. I suppose I could use my '76 BB, but it just wouldn't be the same.

Sounds like he's pretty playable. In robot mode he's got a projectile, and in vehicle he can tow other toys... but how so again?

I'd have to say my only gripe is that he doesn't let go of his weapon. The thing is screwed onto his hand. But, I guess you COULD unscrew it. But I'd rather not..... mess with it. **must ... resist .... terrible ....pun**

It's like Shockwave. Arm cannon built into the arm.

From what I understand, he's in the video game. Many of the drones are from the game (Swindle, Dreadwind)... so I think he kind of gets lumped in with them in conversation.

I had the impression that only the Lens-Head guys are the drones. Are they?
