Toys
Armada
- Red Alert w/ Longarm (Max-Con, 2002/2003)
- Japanese ID number: MC-02
- Packaged with the larger Autobot Red Alert, Longarm transforms into a hook-crane truck of undetermined model. His crane is on a swivel-joint, though it's not very useful in robot mode.
- This mold was also used to make live-action movie Longarm.
- Powerlinx Red Alert w/ Powerlinx Longarm (Max-Con, 2003)
- Japanese ID number: MC-12
- For his Powerlinx upgrade, Longarm retained his mainly black coloration in alternate mode, but the blue and tan were changed to gray and orange.
- Red Alert w/ Longarm (Built to Rule, 2003)
- Built to Rule Longarm is a building-block toy that can be reconfigured from robot to crane, although neither mode is particularly accurate. Naturally, you can also build something else out of him, but not much. He's just a Mini-Con, after all, so he doesn't have many blocks. He is limited to black and blue blocks and features none of his tan or red details. Longarm was only available with Built to Rule Red Alert.
- Battle for the Matrix (Multi-pack, 2003)
- Longarm was inexplicably included in the K-Mart exclusive "Battle for the Matrix" multi-pack, without his larger gang-molded partner Red Alert. The set was released on Black Friday and also included Optimus Prime with Sparkplug, Jetfire with Comettor, and the Adventure Mini-Con Team. Longarm is identical to his original release.
Energon
- Prowl w/ Longarm & Starscream w/ Zapmaster (Multi-pack, 2004)
- A redeco of Longarm was included with Energon Prowl, a Red Alert redeco available only at Sam's Club wholesale shopping club outlets. Longarm is still mainly black, but his torso is white and his legs and crane are blue. He was only available in a multi-pack with Red Alert, Starscream and Zapmaster.
