| This article is about the Beast Machines Maximal bull. For the Beast Wars Maximal ibex who is sometimes known as Longhorn, see Ramulus. |
- Longhorn is a Maximal from the Beast Machines portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Highly intelligent, tenacious, and powerful, Longhorn is a "warrior philosopher" among Maximals. With a talent for strategy and the skills of a frontline fighter, he finds war a trying thing but is quite impressive at it. He's well-liked by his fellows, and though he tends to be circumspect and serious by nature he clearly takes great joy in battle, charging into crowds of Vehicons.
Longhorn's greatest ability is being a technorganic "thunderstorm" in robot form. The stamping of his hoofs cause paralyzing thunderclaps and his massive horns release devastating concentrated lightning bolts.
Longhorn is also a vegetarian and dislikes embedded media.

- Longhorn (Basic, 2000)
- Part of the second wave of Beast Machines Basics, Longhorn transforms into a technorganic bull, complete with nose-ring. Pressing down on his "mane" in beast mode raises up his head as a "ramming" attack on a spring-loaded "see-saw" mechanism. His beast mode front hooves are sculpted as permanently-attached melee weapons in his robot mode hands. His spark crystal is hidden under a flip-up panel on his left rear leg.
Notes
- Longhorn had the pre-release name of Rumble.[1]
