Strongarm is an <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autobot" title="Autobot">Autobot</a> from the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Movie_%28franchise%29" title="Movie (franchise)">2007 movie franchise</a> in the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Live-action_film_series" title="Live-action film series">live-action film</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Continuity_family" title="Continuity family">continuity family</a>.

[[Image:|right|200px|thumb|You slag with me, you slag with the best!]] Strongarm would rather be working on machines than fighting. Generally good-natured and light-hearted, Strongarm's gift for mechanics and electrical systems make him an invaluable asset for the Autobots, constantly fixing broken or faulty weapons systems. He'll keep on talking the entire time, too... if there's no-one else in the room to converse with (or, more accurately at), he's got his own voice-activated computer to jibba-jabba at.

He did a flanking run to draw enemy fire. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Comic_issue_5" title="Transformers Comic issue 5">Transformers Comic issue 5</a></span>

In an alternate reality where the Decepticons captured the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/All_Spark" class="mw-redirect" title="All Spark">All Spark</a>, Strongarm was one of the six Autobot reinforcements hiding on the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Moon_%28moon%29" title="Moon (moon)">moon</a>. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Comic_issue_9" title="Transformers Comic issue 9">Transformers Comic issue 9</a></span> When <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Starscream_%28Movie%29" title="Starscream (Movie)">Starscream</a> attacked and it seemed clear their plan was ruined, Strongarm was the one who decided to go to Earth anyway, as they had nothing left to lose. However, this is what Starscream wanted them to do... <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Comic_issue_11" title="Transformers Comic issue 11">Transformers Comic issue 11</a></span> Strongarm managed to help save <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Bumblebee_%28Movie%29" title="Bumblebee (Movie)">Bumblebee</a> from Megatron but actually fighting the Big Meg was out of his league (he has the dents to prove it). <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Comic_issue_12" title="Transformers Comic issue 12">Transformers Comic issue 12</a></span> Despite this, he still wanted to get in the middle of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Prime_%28Movie%29" title="Optimus Prime (Movie)">Optimus Prime's</a> fight with Megatron as he's nucking futz. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Comic_issue_13" title="Transformers Comic issue 13">Transformers Comic issue 13</a></span>

He was extremely relieved when the war appeared to be finally over, to the point of making a very inappropriate joke about the All Spark's destruction. Unfortunately, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Furmanism" title="Furmanism">it never ends</a>, and Strongarm (looking quite resigned) had to defend the Savannah Shelter from a Decepticon massacre. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Comic_issue_14" title="Transformers Comic issue 14">Transformers Comic issue 14</a></span> When Starscream manipulated <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/NATO" title="NATO">NATO</a> into joining the battle, Strongarm was taken down by tank fire. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Comic_issue_15" title="Transformers Comic issue 15">Transformers Comic issue 15</a></span> Getting no rest, once repaired he was constantly sent to protect human convoys against inevitable Decepticon attacks. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Comic_issue_16" title="Transformers Comic issue 16">Transformers Comic issue 16</a></span>

  • Strongarm (Scout, 2007)
  • Accessories: Crane boom/rifle, spare tire halves, Autobot-type energon star


Strongarm is a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Redeco" title="Redeco">redeco</a> of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Energon_%28toyline%29" title="Energon (toyline)">Energon</a> series <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Strongarm_%28Energon%29" title="Strongarm (Energon)">Strongarm</a>

toy, transforming into a Cybertronic jeep. He has a clear-plastic "energon" crane-boom/rifle and spare tire which can combine to form a large axe.

This mold was also used to make <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Outback" title="Outback">Fallback</a> and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Crosshairs_%28Movie%29" title="Crosshairs (Movie)">Crosshairs</a>. The axe mold was separated and used for multiple <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Takara" class="mw-redirect" title="Takara">Takara</a> promotional <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Energon_weapons" class="mw-redirect" title="Energon weapons">energon weapons</a>, as well as being released in reddish-orange with the Japanese "Wild" redeco of Energon <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ironhide_%28Energon%29" title="Ironhide (Energon)">Ironhide</a>.

<a name="Trivia"></a><h2><span class="editsection">[<a href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Strongarm_%28Movie%29&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Trivia">edit</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline">Trivia</span></h2>

(apart from the molded in Autobot logo). It's possible Strongarm is hiding out among the Sector Seven motor pool disguised as one of their jeeps.

  • Due to Strongarm and Crosshairs BOTH appearing in Reign of

Starscream, an effort was made to give Strongarm a different look. In issue #4 Strongarm has a "battle mask" covering his nose area. In issue

  1. 5 (ironically, just before battle) the battle mask is "open" and shows

that Strongarm has a gaping hole in the middle of his face. Ouch! Perhaps this is the source of the "payback" he seeks.
