M Sipher: /* Appearence in issue #2 of the Prequel comic */

Appearence in issue #2 of the Prequel comic

New page

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)

==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
