Longarm (SG)

The name or term "Longarm" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Longarm (disambiguation).

Longarm is an evil Autobot from the Shattered Glass continuity family.

Hypothesis: Perhaps this manner of speech gives me away.

Longarm is an Autotrooper officer. He was always kind of a wet blanket, but recently he's been acting really strangely and disappearing for long stretches of time without explanation. He's even started saying stuff like "Interrogative" and "Conclusion" before his sentences. Weird, huh?

Declaration: I shall be amazingly expensive on eBay.

• Shattered Glass Longarm (Customization Class Exclusive, BotCon 2012)
  • Accessories: "Blaster," two speakers, alternate Shockwave head, alternate Shockwave gun

Shattered Glass Longarm is a redeco of Reveal the Shield Jazz, available only at the BotCon 2012 customization classes. He transforms from a robot into a purple sports car. The speakers can also combine with his rifle via clips to form a super rifle, or they can be used on any other clip-compatible Transformers toy. Longarm also comes with an alternate Shockwave head and gun arm, which one can use instead of the proper head and hand. The head can fit during transformation if properly sanded, but the gun cannot. Neither new piece is considered Hasbro product.

This mold was also used to make United Stepper and Shattered Glass Stepper, and the mold's alternate head was used to make Treadshot. It was also retooled to make Generations Wheelie and Timelines Kick-Over.

Note that the image provided of the figure does not follow the exact paint specifications provided in the Customization Class. The front sides of the helmet are painted light gray in the photo when they should be left unpainted and the sides of the face painted light gray instead. The red detail on the stomach is also painted differently than on the instructor's sample.

Notes

GIVE ME YOUR IDENTITY.

• Shockwave's ability to disguise himself as Longarm is an homage to Animated Shockwave, who infiltrated the Autobot ranks as Longarm.
• It's also an homage to Alternators Meister and Alternators Shockblast sharing a mold.
• Longarm is a disguised Shockwave, but which Shockwave is still unrevealed.
  • Longarm's 'creator', Shawn Tessman envisioned Classics Shockwave as 'possessing' Longarm from a distance. This, however falls under the banner of Authorial intent.
• Dan Khanna made it a personal mission to fit Longarm somewhere into that year's convention comic. And he did draw him in. However, he got colored as a Shattered Glass Ricochet. Not in Shattered Glass Ricochet's actual colors, mind, but in inverted Generation 1 Ricochet-inspired colors. This was later revealed to be a planned separate character, Stepper.
