Strongarm (RID)

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

Strongarm is an Autobot from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Next time on Rookie Blue...

Cadet Strongarm sees a bright future in law enforcement ahead of her. She knows the regulations front-to-back, able to recall them by number with ease as needed (often to her teammates' chagrin). She is full of seemingly-boundless energy, and is more than willing to throw herself into dangerous situations in order to collar a target. Being assigned to work with Bumblebee, hero of the war with the Decepticons, is a sure sign that she's destined to go places! Maybe even all the way to Earth!

This enthusiasm for her job makes her a tenacious officer, but also difficult to work with. Bumblebee's rather loose command style doesn't quite gel with the cadet's by-the-rules approach, as she uses protocol to sometimes get around Bumblebee's orders. It also puts her directly at odds with Sideswipe, a bot who breaks rules almost habitually and constantly thumbs his nose at authority. She's not terribly thrilled about working with convicted criminal Grimlock either, but at least he doesn't specifically try and pick fights with her like Sideswipe does.

Fiction

2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon

Voice actor: Constance Zimmer (English), Yui Kondō (Japanese), Katia Sorrentino (Italian), Anne Düe (German), Cony Madera, (Latin-American Spanish), Aya Hamza (Arabic), Katja Sirkiä (Finnish).

A cadet partnered with Bumblebee, Strongarm helped him capture Sideswipe Pilot (Part 1) while patrolling Kaon City. Can You Dig It? Unfortunately for Bumblebee, she then insisted that regulations meant she had to accompany him on a trip to Earth after Optimus Prime appeared to him in a series of visions. There they found that the prison ship Alchemor had crashed, scattering Decepticon prisoners over the nearby area. Pilot (Part 1)

Captain Fanzone, eat your heart out

Adopting a local vehicular form, Strongarm joined the team in recapturing the escaped Decepticon Underbite before he could reach and devour nearby Crown City. The operation was a success, though she was unsure about the wisdom of allowing Sideswipe and Grimlock to remain on the team. Pilot (Part 2)

Strongarm and Sideswipe continued having trouble working together, inadvertently resulting in Strongarm's comms being damaged. When the pair went sent on a mission to investigate fugitive signals, they split up, and Strongarm was captured by Steeljaw, who tried to convince her that he intended to dwell peacefully on Earth. She was freed by Sideswipe and Russell, though Steeljaw got away. Trust Exercises Strongarm and the team managed to capture Bisk. They later encountered Chop Shop and were unprepared for the Decepticon's ability to split into component parts. When Strongarm attempted to tackle one of his components, it resulted in Chop Shop taking Fixit as a new right arm, however the team were eventually successful in rescuing the Mini-Con and capturing the Decepticon. More than Meets the Eye

Strongarm uses her famous death stare.

Sideswipe and Strongarm continued to squabble — when they went to a museum, Strongarm alternated between doing so and towing Grimlock on a trailer. Splitting up, the team was unable to capture Terrashock until Bumblebee came up with a way to hunt the Decepticon on his own terms. W.W.O.D.? Strongarm searched the Alchemor crash site again but only turned up a Decepticon Hunter, which she was unable to get working despite Fixit's instructions. During the mission to protect the generator at the dam, she was forced to help Grimlock back to the scrapyard, and was unable to help hunt for Thunderhoof. As the Kospego Commands!

Strongarm/rule book, BFFs

Feeling homesick, Strongarm began breaking out in hives, as well as relying more and more on the rulebook, which irritated Sideswipe as they searched for the Decepticon Filch. After some encouragement from Bumblebee, Strongarm broke several rules as they captured Filch, though she later wrote the others up anyway. Collect 'Em All When Grimlock turned on the other Autobots and stole Underbite's stasis pod, Strongarm's first instinct was that Grimlock had been pretending to be good all along. She, Bumblebee and Sideswipe tracked him to Crown River Dam, where they discovered that he had been under the control of Minitron. True Colors

After begging, Strongarm got her own solo mission, only to find that Bumblebee was following her. Despite several missteps, she managed to capture the Decepticon Springload with his help. Rumble in the Jungle Teamed with Bumblebee, Strongarm hunted Ped in subterranean tunnels, and was forced to help support part of Crown City when it was undermined by the Decepticon's digging. She later became trapped at the bottom of a pit during a later successful attempt to capture Ped. Can You Dig It? When Bumblebee was regressed to immaturity thanks to Quillfire's toxins, Strongarm saw the opportunity to test herself in a leadership role. After suffering a number of Bumblebee's pranks, she took Grimlock to go hunt Quillfire, only to have Bumblebee follow them. Following a jaunt on a carnival ride and Quillfire's incapacitation, Strongarm had Grimlock chain Bumblebee up until he recovered from the toxin. Adventures in Bumblebee-Sitting!

Capture rampaging dinobots with the all new Strongarm:Dinobot hauler!

When Drift and Fracture came to Earth to collect the bounty on Bumblebee, Strongarm was captured by the Decepticon to use as a ransom along with the other Autobots. Hunting Season Strongarm and Sideswipe continued their bickering, even as the team hunted the Skunkticon gang led by Malodor, hampering efforts at several points during the chase. Out of Focus

After discovering that Strongarm had been sneaking off the base, Sideswipe blackmailed her into doing undesirable jobs for him. After they tangled with Steeljaw's gang, Bumblebee revealed he already knew about Strongarm sneaking out, and Strongarm revealed she had been using a nearby carwash. Sideways Strongarm joined Sideswipe, Russell, and Grimlock for a horror movie marathon; the three Autobots tried to scare Russell to no avail. Strongarm joined Bumblebee and the rest of the team for an excursion to a local cave network in pursuit of a Decepticon signal. They encountered Nightstrike, who picked them off one by one and tried to drain their energon. Trapped in a cocoon, Strongarm was forced to hallucinate her worst fear- disgracing the Kaon police force. Even Robots Have Nightmares

Strongarm towed Grimlock to the Crown City subway system after Sideswipe went missing. She discovered that the mad scientist Vertebreak had stolen Sideswipe's body, and she was forced to fight him. With Sideswipe's help, the other Autobots managed to incapacitate and recapture Vertebreak, and Strongarm challenged the repaired Sideswipe to a race home. Some Body, Any Body After Drift and Slipstream returned to Earth in pursuit of Jetstorm, Strongarm rolled out with the other Autobots to recapture Quillfire and Springload. One of Our Mini-Cons Is Missing After taking part in a training exercise against Sideswipe, Strongarm GroundBridged to the ocean, where the Decepticon Octopunch was planning to steal an abandoned Cybertronian ship. Strongarm was taken out of the fight by an army of deployable Mini-Cons and locked in an empty room, where she couldn't contact her teammates. She managed to break out and escape before the ship self-destructed. Deep Trouble

When the gladiator Groundpounder and his cheating manager Headlock debuted at the Crown City Rumbledome, Strongarm and the other Autobots- minus Grimlock and Fixit- tried to GroundBridge into the city. Instead, they wound up in the Arctic, and then appeared outside the city limits, where they were held up by traffic while Grimlock fought Groundpounder. Strongarm arrived just in time to stasis cuff the fleeing Headlock. The Champ Fixit's sentry programming asserted itself, causing Strongarm to be menaced by the scrapyard's various security systems. The Trouble with Fixit Strongarm helped set up a new rollercoaster that Denny purchased, but headed out with the team to investigate a Decepticon signal. The signal belonged to Kickback, who had been set up by Steeljaw as a distraction while the rest of his gang broke into the Autobot base and deactivated the other stasis pods. The Autobots managed to take back their territory and rout the Decepticons, and Strongarm helped to recontain Octopunch's tentacles. Lockout

The Autobots set out to capture Scowl, whom Grimlock had inadvertently befriended and set free. Strongarm helped to reroute a train that Scowl had derailed, then ran damage control at a local spa while Grimlock tried to recapture the vengeful Decepticon. Similarly Different Strongarm realized that many of the Alchemor's convicts were based off Earth animals, and began researching the dangers of Earth creatures. She was less than impressed by the newcomer Windblade and was particularly irked by Windblade's cavalier attitude toward protocol. The disagreement boiled over when the Autobots set out in search of Zizza, when Windblade revealed that she didn't care if humans were caught in the crossfire. The two Autobots eventually resolved their differences, and Strongarm's knowledge of Earth bees helped her bring in Zizza. The Buzz on Windblade

Feeling homesick for Cybertron, Strongarm came along with the team on a "vacation" to Edmondville. Although the gang had fun scaring off a group of human tourists, things took a turn for the worse when they encountered Pseudo, who locked Strongarm and the Mini-Cons in an old bank vault. Strongarm escaped by blasting a hole in the wall and tracked Pseudo to a nearby mine. After a brief chase, the Autobots managed to subdue the Shifter.Ghosts and Impostors On a training exercise with Sideswipe, both Autobots were ambushed by Decepticons; Strongarm managed to send a fragmentary transmission back to the base before she was captured by Fracture. The duo were later joined by Windblade, and all three of them were lashed to the Crown City Colossus while the Decepticons worked to summon Megatronus. Battlegrounds, Part 1 With their ranks bolstered by a revived Optimus Prime, the three Autobots were freed and joined in the fight. Although Optimus faltered in his fight against Megatronus, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Strongarm were able to unlock the power of their Decepticon hunters and give themselves a power-up, allowing them to fire a sustained blast at Megatronus and vaporize him. With Steeljaw's gang almost entirely arrested, Strongarm opted to remain on Earth alongside her commander. Battlegrounds, Part 2

While listening to Optimus's old war stories, Strongarm got into yet another fight with Sideswipe. Following a GroundBridge explosion, she helped clear up and along with Bumblebee and Grimlock, was defeated by Overload when the Decepticon arrived at the scrapyard. Overloaded, Part 1 After tracking Overload to a parking lot, the team split up with Grimlock and Strongarm trying to track the Cyclone Mini-Cons. They soon realized they'd actually been tracking humans, but managed to maintain their cover. They caught up with Bumblebee in time to help take Overload back to base. Overloaded, Part 2

Missing the teamwork she had developed with Sideswipe, Strongarm attempted to establish a similar rapport with Grimlock, which mainly resulted in them bungling an attempt to capture Saberhorn. During the later fight at the steel mill, they were eventually able to work together enough to save Bumblebee from being melted down, though Saberhorn himself got away. Metal Meltdown When she accidentally endangered some motorists during the pursuit of Crazybolt and Slicedice, Strongarm became demoralized and turned in her Decepticon Hunter. After an attempt to get her to help Fixit backfired badly, she resigned herself to rusting in the corner, however a fire started by Crazybolt endangered some humans, and Bumblebee was able to spur her into returning to the field to save them. Suspended

Bumblebee, Strongarm, and Grimlock captured the Mini-Con Torpor, though the mission was nearly botched when Grimlock stumbled in on the other two Autobots as they strategised, tipping their target off to their whereabouts. When Grimlock gained increased brainpower fom a Cybertronian data cylinder, Strongarm and Bumblebee took him along on an attempt to capture Simacore. Though during the operation, she and Bumblebee were trapped against a particle accelerator and in danger of being particle collided, Fixit came up with a cure for Grimlock, and the Dinobot rescued them both. Brainpower

When a wounded Steeljaw turned up at the scrapyard, Bumblebee, Strongarm and Grimlock followed the trail of energon he'd left to a disused drive in. Following the arrival of Scorponok, Crazybolt and Slicedice, the Autobots discovered that Steeljaw had been feigning. Strongarm sped back to base where she confronted the Con, and though she was able to best him in combat and rescue Fixit, Denny and Russell, he managed to get away and had freed a bunch of prisoners. Misdirection

After weeks of hunting for leads to find the new group of Decepticons, Strongarm turned down the opportunity to stake out a Rear Axle concert in favor of brushing up on her regulations. When Bisk turned up at the concert, Bumblebee called her and Grimlock in as backup, however the pair were held up by traffic. Bumblebee's Night Off The Autobots tracked down the Decepticon Silverhound to a carnival, and engaged him in a nearby parking lot. After a brief struggle, during which Grimlock was tossed in the middle of a nearby crowd, Strongarm successfully captured the Alchemor escapee. She then covered for Grimlock, announcing on her speakers that he was part of an upcoming exhibit; "If Dinosaurs Could Talk." On their next mission, she and Bumblebee were stunned by Quillfire's quills and ended up in an impound lot, booted and dazed. Strongarm particularly objected to being held among "common criminals" in the lot. They had to be rescued by Denny and Russell, and with the help of Grimlock, now sporting a construction crane disguise for his dino mode, successfully captured Quillfire and his two new Mini-Con partners, Back and Forth. Impounded

After an incident with the GroundBridge brought Soundwave to Earth, Strongarm and Grimlock were knocked out by the Decepticon. They recovered, only to be warped away from the junkyard alongside Laserbeak by a portal created by Soundwave. Working together, Strongarm and Grimlock were able to shut down Laserbeak, then rushed back to the rest of the team. They arrived just as Denny, Fixit, Russel, and Bumblebee managed to get Soundwave back into the shadowzone, and threw the Decepticon Mini-Con back into the other dimension after its master. Portals Strongarm was on a mission in an area that interfered with Fixit's communication equipment when Optimus Prime needed assistance defeating Stockade's troops. Graduation Exercises

After a chance encounter resulted in Ratchet joining the team, the Autobots got a lead to the location of the remaining Decepticons on Earth; Toolbox, recent escapee from "Decepticon Island." The Autobots disguised Grimlock as a Decepticon, and used a ruse wherein the rest of the team posed as captives to infiltrate the crashed Alchemor, base to the Decepticons. Despite making good headway at first, Strongarm and the others were discovered by the Decepticon higher ups after an argument between Bumblebee and Optimus caused the mission to stall out. The Autobots then found themselves completely surrounded by Steeljaw's troops. Decepticon Island (Part 1)

Thanks to Windblade providing them with an impromptu distraction, the rest of the Autobots managed to make a break for it and slipped away from the Decepticons. They then split up into smaller teams, with Strongarm, Grimlock, and Sideswipe being sent off to try and free the Mini-Cons being held captive. They ended up in a communications room where they encountered Groundpounder and Thunderhoof. By kicking him while he was in mid-air, Strongarm put Sideswipe outside the range of one of Thunderhoof's seismic stomps, allowing him to get to a nearby monitor and transmit a disabling frequency. Holding onto consciousness for seconds longer than the Decepticons could, Strongarm's team managed to best their opponents. After using the communications equipment to free the Mini-Cons, the trio escaped the ship before the cryo-gas set up by Bumblebee bomb froze everyone aboard.

In the aftermath of the battle, several Autobots opted to return to Cybertron, as the current Decepticon crisis had been dealt with. Strongarm decided to instead stay on Earth, and help Bumblebee set up a permanent base of operations to more properly meet any future threats that might come to the planet.

Strongarm didn't choose the fandom life.

Strongarm and Grimlock checked on a stasis pod, only to find it empty. After they tracked the Decepticon fruitlessly for some time, Bumblebee arrived to point them in the direction of the Fun-A-Rama amusement park, where the team found and captured Flamefeather. Fire, When Ready! During a training exercise, Strongarm mainly squabbled Sideswipe, resulting in the team's defeat. The pair were sent to investigate activity, but proved unable to capture Spinhead and had to return to the scrapyard empty handed. Fortunately Bumblebee came up with a plan and the whole team managed to defeat the Decepticon. Robots in Disguise #1

Strongarm took part in the capture of Transit. During a visit by Ultra Magnus's team, Strongarm got to meet Arcee and was disguised as the Decepticon Retrofit in an attempt to capture Clipshade. She was unfortunately rumbled, but Clipshade was captured anyway. Robots in Disguise #2

After establishing the location of Overhead, Strongarm and the rest of the team managed to take the Decepticon down. After Overhead gave them a distress beacon she claimed would bring the leader of the Cybercomrade Sect she belonged to, Strongarm was left to guard her while Bumblebee and Grimlock set a trap. Unfortunately Overhead was the real sect leader, and overpowered Strongarm before escaping. Robots in Disguise #3

Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus making up took longer than Strongarm had expected, but the Autobots soon made amends and, through her Croctobot lackeys, tracked Overhead to an abandoned petrosynthesis chemical plant. They tripped a silent alarm, however, giving Overhead time to hide and jump an unsuspecting Strongarm, but Strongarm broke out of her headlock by flipping Overhead overhead and soon after saved Arcee from a nasty hit. Robots in Disguise #4

Following the defeat of Megatronus, Strongarm and the rest of Team Bee were lured to Fort Tucker as a distraction while Steeljaw and Steve abducted Fixit and Russell from the scrapyard. Robots in Disguise #5 Returning to base, the team found empty stasis pods and the computer trashed, and were forced to resort to their own wits to work out where Steeljaw was. They to successfully located the cave in question, rescuing Fixit and Russell before engaging Steeljaw's crew. Strongarm managed to deal Thunderhoof a decent blow before she was hit by a Vehicon. Eventually the three Vehicons realized that Steeljaw was not part of Megatron's command, and in the aftermath Team Bee was left with the majority of Steeljaw's team as prisoners.

When the Autobots detected Scuzzard on the loose, Strongarm, Bumblebee and Sideswipe managed to lure the Decepticon into a trap, though things got hairy for Strongarm for a while. The Decepticon was snatched from them by the newly-escaped Filch, and the Autobots were forced to track down and capture both of the birdbots. Bumblebee Versus Scuzzard Detecting Autobots signals at the docks, the Autobots stumbled on a fight between Underbite, Thunderhoof, and Slink's gang. Strongarm managed to tie up Sneak before having to help Sideswipe in his fight against Thunderhoof. She later netted Slink and Snitch as the Autobots captured Slink's gang. Sideswipe Versus Thunderhoof

After the team captured Forager who appeared to rescue Drift, throwing doubt on the Autobot's motives, Strongarm played it cautiously, worried that Drift would team up with the Decepticons. She and the rest of the team were captured a short time later when Foxtrot and Stilts took over the scrapyard and put the team in stasis pods. The team was eventually freed with Drift's help, and turned the tables on the Decepticons. Drift's Samurai Showdown

Bumblebee attempted to get Strongarm to loosen up by joining the others in a game of football. She and the rest of the team took on Skinkbomb, only to find the Decepticon's explosives formidable, and the fight was lost when Bumblebee became distracted. Though the team thought Bumblebee might be suffering from brain rust, the next time they faced Skinkbomb, they all heard the illusionary Optimus Prime's voice and were all able to overcome the Decepticon regardless. The Trials of Optimus Prime

Strongarm, Bumblebee and Grimlock attempted to arrest the Decepticon Brakepad, only to fall foul of his lethargy-inducing powers. After they returned to the scrapyard empty-handed, Denny and Russell had to force them to go back out into the field and capture Brakepad. Autobot World Tour

Toys

Robots in Disguise (2015)

Virtually every toy in this list has a scannable insignia sticker on it. For Hasbro releases, it temporarily unlocks that toy as a playable character in the Robots in Disguise mobile game, and can only be scanned once per day. TakaraTomy releases simply check that off on their mobile app's collection list. It's honestly quicker and less redundant to say which toys don't have this feature.

Legion Class

Tonight's the night we got the truck, we're goin' downtown gonna beat up drunks.

• Strongarm (Legion Class, 2015)

Part of the first wave of Robots in Disguise Legion figures, Strongarm transforms into a police SUV. In robot mode, her fists are compatible with 3mm-peg weapons, although she does not come with any herself. Her head is sculpted with her battle mask deployed.

Her scannable Autobot insignia is on her driver's-side door in vehicle mode, becoming her left arm in robot mode. This badge is accessible while she is still in-package.

Although her kneecaps were painted blue in the initial stock photos, the final product leaves them bare as the thighs are made from unpaintable plastic. She also features different paint details on her face compared to the final product.

This mold was also used to make Robots in Disguise Ratchet.

• More information on Legion Strongarm at TFU.info

• Patrol Mode Strongarm (Legion Class, 2016)

Part of the fifth wave of Robots in Disguise Legion-class figures, "Patrol" Mode Strongarm is a redeco of the original Legion Strongarm, with a mostly-black coloration.

Just as with the previous vesion of the mold, her scannable Autobot insignia is on her drivers-side door in vehicle mode, becoming her left arm in robot mode. This badge is accessible while she is still in-package.

File:TAV-34-EZ-Collection-Strongarm.jpg

• Team Bumblebee VS Megatronus set (EZ Collection 4-pack, 2015)
  • Japanese ID Number: TAV34

Available only in this four-pack, this version of Strongarm is a redeco of the original Legion Class Strongarm toy, replacing her blue plastics with white, and giving her a ton of new paint operations to make for an amazingly show-accurate toy at such a small scale...even though they forgot the side-windows.

This toy lacks a scan-badge sticker, unlike virtually all of the Robots in Disguise/Adventure products. Instead its scan-badge is printed on a single collector's card that also features the badges for the other three figures in the set.

Strongarm was released as a four-pack along with Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Megatronus.

One-Step Changers

Dispatch calls, "Are you doin' something wicked?" No siree jack, we're just giving out tickets. (Hasbro Version Pictured)

(TakaraTomy Version Pictured)

• Strongarm (One Step Changer, 2015)
  • Japanese release date: 7-25-2015
  • Japanese ID number: TED-10

Part of the first wave of One-Step Changers, Strongarm transforms from robot to police SUV in a single step: folding down her vehicle-mode hood and truck bed unfolds and spins around her robot mode from the cab area. In robot mode, she has extremely limited posability, with just shoulder-swivels and some extra outward-swing thanks to her transformation. Her fists have 5mm post-compatible holes.

Her scannable Autobot insignia is on her right shoulder in robot mode. As it's on a folded-up robot bit and she's packaged in vehicle mode, there's no way to scan this while she is still in-package.

The TakaraTomy Adventure release of "Easy Dynamic" Strongarm was released as the only ED figure in the series' fifth wave of product. It features an extensive amount of paint applications for greater show-accuracy, though they missed her hands, waist, and feet.

No, I'm not part of the Night Rescue Team. Why do you ask?

• Patrol Mode Strongarm (One Step Changer, 2015)

Part of the fifth wave of One Step Changers, "Patrol Mode Strongarm" is a redeco of the One Step Changer above, with a coloration similar to the "Patrol" Legends-class toy (which was in wave 5 of its assortment, so there's a trivia nugget for ya), being almost entirely black with just a few bits of white (considerably less white than the Legends toy has).

Like the original One-Step, her scannable Autobot insignia is on her right shoulder in robot mode, unscannable while still in-package.

File:TF-RID2015-Advanced-One-Step-Strongarm.jpg

• Strongarm (One-Step Changer, 2016)

Part of the first wave of the "Mini-Con Weaponizers" subline imprint, this One-Step Changer figure of Strongarm is a new sculpt. In the Robots in Disguise mobile game, it was identified alternatively as an "Advanced One-Step" or "Evolved One-Step" figure depending on the user's region, but on the toy's packaging, no such modifiers are featured, and it is available as part of the regular One-Step Changer assortment.

This mold was retooled into Ratchet.

Warrior Class

(TakaraTomy Version Pictured)

• Strongarm (Warrior Class, 2015)
  • Japanese release date: March 21 2015
  • Japanese ID number: TAV03
  • Accessories: Rifle

Part of the first wave of Hasbro's Warrior-class figures, Strongarm transforms into a police SUV of made-up model. This larger, more complex and poseable version of the character includes a rifle accessory (with an odd permanent "blast effect" on the barrel-tip), which can be mounted using 5mm ports in both robot and vehicle mode. Like so many toys, her head is designed with a light-piping gimmick that's rendered moot by both opaque plastic and painted optics.

Her scannable Autobot insignia is on her robot-mode right chestplate. As she's packaged in robot mode, this badge is easily scannable on-card without purchase.

The TakaraTomy Adventure version of this toy (sold in the first wave of product) uses a deeper shade of blue, as well as having more complicated paint operations. In vehicle mode she has a silver grill and blue striping on her hood, as well as more complicated striping on her side-panels. In robot mode, rather than having the solid-blue chestplate and helmet, she has much more show-accurate white-and-blue striping. Her scan-badge is also different, used in TakaraTomy's Transformers Chronicle app, though in-package it's covered by a dummy sticker to prevent pre-purchase scanning.

This mold was also used to make Greejeeber, and retooled differently into Ratchet.

Kre-O

• Strongarm Capture Cruiser (2015)
  • Set Number: B1549
  • Pieces: 105
  • Kreons: Strongarm, Springload
  • Accessories: Crossbow

Only available in the "Strongarm Capture Cruiser" set, this Strongarm Kreon uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes them incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. She also comes with a buildable Capture Cruiser vehicle modeled vaguely after her.

While the Kreon itself does not have a scannable badge, the set's instruction booklet has a unique scan-badge that rewards the player with a Strongarm Kreon item.

All of the 2015 Transformers Kre-O product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set... although Strongarm and Sideswipe's sets turned up in considerably smaller numbers than the others.

Hero Mashers

File:Hero-Mashers-RID2015-Strongarm.jpg

You're looking...robust, ma'am!

• Strongarm (2015)
  • Pieces: 9
  • Accessories: Crossbow

Part of the fourth wave of Transformers Hero Mashers —and the second of the Robots in Disguise-themed product— Strongarm is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. She has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any Hero Mashers accessory.

She is designed with a removable head, forearms, upper legs and boots, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means her pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other Hero Mashers figure... which includes figures from Marvel Comics, Star Wars and Jurassic World, meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

The Robots in Disguise-branded Hero Mashers were not released in the US, seeing release mostly in European and Australian markets.

This assortment saw minimal-at-best distribution at "big box" retail, most reliably hitting through online outlets.

Radz

• Strong Arm[sic] (Radz candy dispenser, 2015)
  • Blindbag code: F

The Radz candy-dispenser version of Strongarm is a plastic sphereoid with feet, spiky "hair", and a keychain fob. Pulling the hair back opens the toy's "mouth" and projects a little bowl-like tongue, dispensing a single colored sugar pellet. The hair can be taken off to refill the dispenser, and swapped with any other Radz.

Strongarm was available only in a blindpacked baggie, though the bag has a code number on the back under the "best by" date that tells you what's inside (only the last letter is the important part). She comes with a bag of sugar pellets, and a mini-poster with a collection checklist on the back.

Notes

• While Strongarm's abdomen and upper legs are actually dark gray (with light gray and white panels), none of her toys get the color right.
• The end credits sequence for Adventure proves Strongarm's got some moves on the dance floor.

Foreign names

• Japanese: Strongarm (ストロングアーム Sutoronguāmu)
• Mandarin: Tiěwàn (China, 铁腕, "Iron Arm")
