For those unable to read Longarm's bio, we have it posted here:
LONGARM just wants to help, whether it's hauling a stuck are out of a ditch or providing covering fire for a flanking action. As long as he's providing assistance to others you'll see a big grin on his face, that is, after all, what being an AUTOBOT is all about - helping, saving, protecting. He just doesn't get the DECEPTICONS. They all seem so selfish. It doesn't make sence to him why anyone would want to live like that. It would be so tiring to be so mean all the time.

I agree, and he's an autobot so that's a plus for me.

Why? This is a guy from the TF Video game.
And as we know, whats-his-name-Alias-Dude just did the voice for Ironhide and Hoist in the TF video game.
So, if they continue to slap out movie figures from the video game, Hoist should be amongst them.
Plus, he gives off more of a Kup vibe.

How?
I mean, he's pretty damn cool looking, but...he's got no mouth yo.

Since when did Hoist become a character in the Movieverse? Why should someone photoshop Longarm into G1 Hoist? Simple, they share similiar vehicle modes. Heck, why not photoshop this guy into Trailbreaker as well since Hoist and Trailbreaker have the same molds with different head sculps and accesories. Course someone could buy Longarm and I hope switch heads with Swindle and poof! he's a Decepticon.Senor Hugo wrote:Fender Bender wrote:So which brave soul is going to do the honors of photoshopping this into G1 Hoist?

That was a shot taken during filming in downtown LA - that's Bay there beside the truck...
The tow-truck we see in the trailer...
and the two-truck that happens to be Longarm's alt mode...
hmmm...

I've never even heard of Payload before. I know I'm not the only one either. What's his gimmick... sorry, Alt mode?

Bouncy X wrote:so all these toys of characters not in the movie.....are they "rejected" characters or designs or are they simply an excuse to make the toyline bigger since the movie only features 13 transformers?
Some are going to be exclusive to the video game some only appeared in the comic and others are just there to flesh out the line.

I'm guessing that unless they seriously shortpack them there are going to be a ton of 'drones' warming the shelves in a few months. Older collectors might like the idea, but the younger ones aren't going to go out and spend their pocket money on an action figure with a big empty circle for a face. What was Hasbro thinking? They could have at least given them a secondary face like the early Beast Wars gimmick.

Thank you! Now I have to buy him. He's in the movie, in one form or another. Which is good, then the "I'll drive, you shoot!" thing can be re-enacted. Damn right!

Final Battle jazz
High score 100
Posted by Jaz-Zen on June 1st, 2007 @ 7:30pm CDT
Final Battle Jazz: Granted, this pic isn't very clear, but it really doesn't look that different from wave 1 Jazz.
Payload is interesting. I don't like the drone head, but the rest of the figure looks okay, so I think I would actually buy this guy.

Wonder if this is just one of those little hidden things, or perhaps something different altogether....

U gotta think theres some exec out there thinking he's being devious by planting seeds of new rhumours by making this models Paintjob match the movie Trucks.

Also, Longarm really doesn't look anything like his in-game counterpart. I know it's difficult for them to make the toys look like the rendered versions because they're so complex but this guy's not even close aside from the colors:

Those shoulder pads remind me of the Movie Starscream toy.

Cause the Autobot Dreadwing looks cool.

Oh, Dreadwing is a Decepticon.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw this guy. Now I just need an in-scale Megan Fox and a Bumblebee with no legs and I can re-enact it too
On that note, is it me that thinks it a little weird Hasbro haven't released any humans? I know the whole point of the line is transforming robots, but the motto is 'robots in disguise'. Disguise from who? 'Their war, our world', we've got the "their", where's the "our"? Look back on previous toylines (albeit from other manufacturers) like Jurassic Park and they always included humans.
Until they release some I'm using some really small standees of Spike and Michael Bay from Matt Moylan's "Lil Formers" line. Looks hilarious. Bay's filming Jazz getting stabbed in the chassis by Wreckage. Pics later, camera's not here.
