In Viron 704.31 Epsilon, Long Haul was created when Build Typhoon was reformatted by Megazarak's Robo-Smasher. The Build Team was ego-wiped and implanted with shell programs drawn from old Predacon personality components. On the eve of an important battle, members of both sides of the war, including the Constructicons, were snatched away by Unicron to participate in the Universe War. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/30
