This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.

Longhorn is some guy. Depending on how you feel on author intent, he might be Ramulus.

Fiction

Cybertron comic

Do I know you?

At the end of the Universe conflict, Longhorn was part of Optimus Primal's army of the Children of Primus. After successfully defeating the Minions of Unicron, Unicron began to disintegrate beneath them, and Longhorn and a few others were carried by Primal through a transwarp portal that led them back home. Revelations Part 2

Though 3H dissolved before Universe was completed, the as-of-then yet-unreleased redeco of Ramulus was intended to serve as a new body for him. Artist Dan Khanna has clarified[1] that the use of that redeco, released by Hasbro as "Longhorn", in the art on the left is supposed to be Ramulus in new colors. Indeed, Primal's coming back to pick up Ramulus provided some sort of closure for Ramulus's feelings of abandonment by Primal during Primeval Dawn.

  • Longhorn (Deluxe, 2005)
    • Accessories: Horn assembly/claw-weapon
A redeco of Ramulus, Longhorn transforms into a Transmetal 2 ibex. His beast-mode horn assembly becomes a hand-held weapon for robot mode, with a gear-activated "pincer" action. Flipping the skullcap of the beast-mode head up reveals a spark crystal.
