| This article is about the Cybertron Autobot. For the Beast Wars Neo Maximal, see Longrack (BWN). |
- Longrack is an Autobot in the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy.
With the ongoing battles between the Autobots and Decepticons and the attacks by the evil Unicron, Cybertron has suffered a lot of damage over the years. It's Longrack's mission to repair this damage. Fixing the planet-wide destruction won't be easy, but Longrack is patient, he'll get it done.
While he prefers building, this doesn't mean he can't put up a fight. He'll take on any Decepticon that tries to interfere with his work and then finish them off with his Crushsteel Punch!

Toys
Cybertron
- Longrack vs. Runabout (Versus pack, 2005)
- Japanese ID number: GS-02
- Accessories: Cybertron Autobot Cyber Key
- Longrack is a retool of Armada Hoist, transforming into a Cybertronic excavator. Plugging a Cyber Planet Key into his right arm unlocks his shovel-arm, which can punch forward by pressing in the plunger mechanism. He came with a silver-bordered Cybertron-Autobot style Cyber Planet Key. He was only available in Japan in a vs-pack with Runabout.
- This mold was used to make the Botcon 2006 Darksyde Dinobot. The original version of the mold was also used to make Universe Ransack.
- Longrack (Deluxe, 2005)
- Accessories: Cybertron Autobot Cyber Key
- For the Hasbro release of the toy, Longrack was put in an individual package. His Cyber Planet Key has the Cyber Key Code "d48m" tampographed on its back. There appear to be no notable differences between the two releases besides the Key Code.
Trivia
- Longrack was designed as an homage to the Beast Wars Neo character Longrack, who also featured a spring-loaded right arm that was basically a gigantic claw. This toy was also used as the basis of Beast Wars Longrack's Cybertronian form in IDW's Beast Wars comics.
- While the earlier versions of the mold used to make Longrack included a Mini-Con partner, neither release of Longrack had one. The Mini-Con partner mold was released in the Japanese Galaxy Force Micron Booster wave as Clamp.
