Reachout (TF 2010)

This article is about the 2010 Transformers toyline Mini-Con/Decepticon. For the Animated Autobot , see Reachout (Animated).

Reachout is a Mini-Con from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family or a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family (via the 2010 Transformers toyline).

Reachout and touch faith.

Reachout transforms into a tan crane truck. Sometimes he is a Mini-Con and a member of the Special Operations Team with Airlift and Diveplane; other times he is a Micromaster.

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

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, 24/7/2015

• Minicon 8 Pack (Multipack, 2010)

Reachout is a redeco of Cybertron Longarm, transforming into a double-crane-truck with a claw-arm and shovel. 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

• 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.
