Elite Guard Cadet Strongarm isn't one for subtlety. To her, everything basically breaks down to a binary, Right vs Wrong, no distinctions. Naturally, this makes her difficult to work with at times, especially considering her teammates include a hot-shot punk who breaks rules almost habitually and a convicted criminal, but she's dedicated to doing her job of recapturing the escaped prisoners on Earth to the best of her ability, so she's learning to suffer those two.
Of course, being assigned to work with Bumblebee, hero of the last great conflict with the Decepticons, gives her extra incentive to work even harder at her job.

A cadet partnered with Bumblebee, Strongarm helped him capture Sideswipe.

There they found that the prison ship Alchemor had crashed, scattering Decepticon prisoners over the nearby area. Pilot (Part 1)

Adopting a local vehicular form, Strongarm joined the team in recapturing the escaped Decepticon Underbite before he could reach and devour nearby Crown City. The operation was a success, though she was unsure about the wisdom of allowing Sideswipe and Grimlock to remain on the team. Pilot (Part 2)

She was freed by Sideswipe and Russell, though Steeljaw got away. Trust Exercises
Toys
Robots in Disguise (2015)
- Strongarm (Legion, 2015)
- Part of the first wave of Robots in Disguise Legion figures, Strongarm transforms into a police SUV. In robot mode, her fists are compatible with 3mm-peg weapons, although she does not come with any herself. Her head is sculpted with her battle mask deployed.
- Her scannable Autobot insignia is on her drivers-side door in vehicle mode, becoming her left arm in robot mode. Scanning this in the Robots in Disguise mobile game temporarily unlocks the Legion-Class Strongarm figure as a playable character if the player has not permanently unlocked them already. This badge is accessible while she is still in-package.
- Strongarm (One Step Changer, 2015)
- Part of the first wave of One Step Changers, Strongarm transforms from robot to police SUV in a single step. In robot mode, she has extremely limited posability, with just shoulder-swivels and some extra outward-swing thanks to her transformation. Her fists have 5mm post-compatible holes.
- Her scannable Autobot insignia is on her right shoulder in robot mode, temporarily unlocking the One Step Changer Strongarm figure as a playable character if the player has not permanently unlocked them already. As it's on a folded-up robot bit and she's packaged in vehicle mode, there's no way to scan this while she is still in-package.

- Part of the first wave of Warrior-class figures, Strongarm transforms into a police SUV. This larger, more complex and posable version of the character She includes a rifle accessory (with an odd permanent "blast effect" on the barrel-tip), which can be mounted using 5mm ports in both robot and vehicle mode.

Scanning this in the Robots in Disguise mobile game temporarily unlocks the Warrior-Class Strongarm figure as a playable character if the player has not permanently unlocked them already.
