Talk:Longarm (Movie)

User optimus: /* This page is missing a section! */ new section

Just for the sake of being difficult, I think we should use the heads that are appropriate to the faction each drone is normally associated with. Ergo, Longarm's main picture should be of the Autobot version.[[User:Chip|Chip]] 21:37, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
:I was just about to suggest this myself. --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] 21:57, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

:One of the users on the ARG gave me nice pics of both variants. I'm going to upload these, 'cuz they're much nicer.
:Anyone want ot guide me on which robot should get which head? -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 09:00, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

The tow truck Longarm is based upon (according to the toy, anyway) is the same tow truck Mikaela uses to drive Bumblebee in the 'I'll drive, you shoot' scene. I assume Traveller's Tales and then Hasbro just chose this truck at random for inspiration, but does that qualify as a movie appearance in the fiction section? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 16:26, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
:It qualifies as a trivia item. It doesn't qualify an appearance by the character, as in the movie that truck is, presumably, just a truck. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 16:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
::It's a differnet model of truck, albeit with the same markings. Occam's Razor would suggest that they're simply part of the same company's fleet, particularly since I don't imagine the truck in the movie will show any evidence of being a Transformer. [[User:Chip|Chip]] 18:09, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

:::Remember, the movie is merely fiction in the world where Longarm exists. (Since almost all of the Movie's expanded universe seems to rooted in the S7-Hungry Dragon paradigm.)
:::It's possible that Longarm chose this form to look in on the filming of Hungry Dragon 2, or simply ''while'' doing so. That would mean it's not a coincidence... but ti doesn't ''mean'' anything either. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 18:19, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

As Derik noted in David's LJ, how do we handle Longarm now? The Screen Battles set with the changes to its deco to match the movie truck and the addition of a Mikaela driver figuerine seems to suggest that Hasbro views this guy as the truck Mikaela uses, or at least its proxy. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 10:54, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
:I have nothing useful to say but... "flogged by Hasbro"? You naughty man! --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 14:08, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
:: >:D Bwahahahaha. Flogged, as in slang for 'sell'. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 15:35, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Restarting this as nobody cared the last time - Longarm's Screen Battles bio says he's the truck Mikaela uses. So what do we say? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 06:48, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Say it's him, note the toy doesn't match the truck seen in the movie. I mean- toy not matching the guy he's supposed to be has happened before, right? -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 07:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

==Abandoned feature?==

So I just opened Longarm, and I was annoyed that his huge cannon is screwed to his hand. So I unscrewed it. And then I went "Man, I wish there was a way he could hold it." But interestingly enough, he actually *can.* There's a peg on the other side, and a perfectly-sized hole in his 'left' hand. This cannot be a coincidence. Deserves mention? I think so. [[User:71.60.159.181|71.60.159.181]] 01:19, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

:Is it just a standard-sized peg and hole? If so... no big deal. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 05:40, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
:Isn't that, you know, part of the transformation to truck mode so he holds together? --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 15:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

==Appearence in issue #2 of the Prequel comic==

Just wanted to point out the following:
On page 4 (the 1st flash back panel of this issue)
There is a bunch of pre-earth Longarm drones with the toy head on the decepticon side. Hell, they even have the chest design minus the diamond texture and arm kibble. Hawt. --[[User:Dr Syn|Dr Syn]] 22 October 2007

==Longarm Vs Longarm==
Both [[Joe Kyde]] and [[Forest Lee]] confirmed at [[BotCon 2008]] that movie Inferno's Mini-Con partner is ''also'' named "Longarm". Soooooooo... how the hell do we handle this? I'd want to confirm if he's actually and specifically ''called'' a "Mini-Con" anywhere on the package, first of all... --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 20:52, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
:So, yeah. how do we want to handle this, especially given that there are now Decepticon Longarms in more than one media? Medium? Medii? --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 22:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

== Orson ==

A new anon-IP contributor added this bit to the trivia point about "Orson": "as well as Orson Welles, the actor who voiced Unicron in the original animated movie". I was going to delete it out of hand for lack of citation, but we don't really have one for the rest of the note, either...--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 10:13, 18 August 2009 (EDT)

I was under the impression that "Jessie" was the preferred spelling.

Either way, a redirect should be placed so that one spelling directs to the other....--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 17:35, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
==Pics==
While it is nice to actually have some real information in this article, the pictures have a bit of a theme going on here. Could we get one where she isn't attached to Buster's face? But if there isn't, then I apologize...and am very freaked out by Marvel in the 80s. -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 03:16, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Awesome: on the Nickelodeon "16 Weeks of Cyber Sweeps" site, the trivia question is WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING TRANSFORMERS IS NOT A MOTORCYCLE: KNOCK OUT, CHROMIA, ELITA ONE, ARCEE and knockout is the correct answer. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 16:37, 2 June 2011 (EDT)
:Maybe they're expecting people to remember the Prime version of the character more? --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 18:18, 2 June 2011 (EDT)

:No, I don't think it's needed. :( You can still help though. Read the welcome template I put on your talk page, and look at the Wanted pages to see what pages ''do'' need to be created. -- [[User:Spydersix|spyder]] 09:46, 18 June 2012 (EDT)

I already have an account. It's [[User:Youreallycan]]. I just don't use it unless I feel like uploading pics, since that's pretty much the only thing I do here that I can't do while logged out. --[[Special:Contributions/81.164.215.61|81.164.215.61]] 05:38, 22 June 2012 (EDT)

== New Vehicons ==

According to TFW2005's coverage of BotCon 2012, two types of Vehicon enemies' concept arts for the game were revealed: [http://cdn.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/4/1/7/2/7/_DSC9350_1335716511.jpg a Helicopter Vehicon] and [http://cdn.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/4/1/7/2/7/_DSC9353_1335716511.jpg a Tank Vehicon]. Should they get their own pages and be added to the list of Decepticons in the game, or do we wait until a more advanced stage of development to consider that they do exist? [[User:Rayqui|Rayqui]] 05:27, 30 April 2012 (EDT)
:Probably just add Vehicons to the list of characters, and wait until later to do more. -- [[User:Spydersix|spyder]] 18:26, 30 April 2012 (EDT)
::Wait, scratch that, it's only concept art, so wait until later in development. -- [[User:Spydersix|spyder]] 18:27, 30 April 2012 (EDT)

== Parenthetical ==
Purely to satisfy my own curiosity, if we get a game only character from this, what would the parenthetical for it be? -- [[User:Spydersix|spyder]] 23:02, 31 May 2012 (EDT)
:As the game's part of the Prime franchise, it would be "(Prime)". --[[User:Abates|abates]] 23:20, 31 May 2012 (EDT)
