A redeco of Treader, Long Haul transforms into a Wabco 35 Haulpak "earth mover" dump truck. He can form the leg to any similar-construction Micromaster combiner robot, but his nominal position is as the right leg of Constructicon Devastator. (He can theoretically be used as an arm too, but only by using the fists that came with the Sixturbo molds... and if you don't mind an incredibly awkward, ill-positioned arm.)
Part of the second wave of KB Toys exclusive Universe MicroMasters, he and the other Micromaster Constructicons were also ultimately available from Sears during Christmastime, and Kmart's online store.
The toy's larger connector socket is approximately 5 mm wide, making Long Haul compatible with Powerlinx ports.
This toy doubles as the Beast Wars: Uprising incarnation of Long Haul. This mold was also used to make Micromaster Long Haul.

The Micromaster Constructicons were sold in Europe under the Energon banner, presumably since Europe never actually got Universe. The toys are identical to the Universe versions.
