Fiction
[edit]Ask Vector Prime
[edit]Vector Prime first noticed Reachout in Aurex 503.01 Gamma, but noted that a Micromaster version of him existed in Primax 209.0 Gamma, and at least some of his compatriots existed as full-sized Autobots and Decepticons in Primax 1005.19 Gamma. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/24
Beast Wars: Uprising
[edit]Reachout served Banzai-Tron in the Builders' Navy aboard the Tidal Wave. They defended the Great Rust Sea from the Resistance Navy, trying to blockade the Yuss Straits to prevent maritime access to Iacon. They failed. In the end, Banzai-Tron ordered a suicide ramming maneuver, taking the Tidal Wave straight into the Resistance flagship Broadside. Reachout was killed by shelling that reached the bridge in their final advance. Derailment

[edit]Transformers (2010)
[edit]- Minicon 8 Pack (Multi-pack, 2010)
- Transformers Reachout is a redeco of Cybertron Longarm, transforming into a double-crane-truck with a claw-arm and shovel. He has a "Powerlinx" socket on the underside of his vehicle mode, allowing him to attach to larger toys with compatible Powerlinx plugs.
- He was only available as part of the European-market exclusive "Minicon 8 Pack" box set with Buckshot, Ironside, Barrel Roll, Iron Claw, Diveplane, Heavy-Liftor, and Airlift.
- This mold was also used to make Astro-Hook and Cradon.
Notes
[edit]- The Minicon[sic] 8 Pack gives no indication whatsoever what continuity these eight Mini-Cons hail from. In 2015, the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime simultaneously established the pack members as Unicron Trilogy Mini-Cons and Generation 1 sometimes-Micromasters.
- The stock photography for Reachout shows him not only with his arms switched around (which honestly makes more sense in vehicle mode), but with orange-painted shoulders. The final version leaves them unpainted.
