Longrack - Transformers Cybertron Deluxe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I first owned Longrack from the Japanese Beast Wars series where he was a giraffe. I mention this because when this figure was commissioned for the Cybertron series they used the same head design as the JBW figure; I really enjoy it when a nod is made to a TF predecessor (i.e. Energon Downshift & G1 Wheeljack)
The back-hoe to robot transformation of this figure is rather elementary. I usually make a case for the non-symmetrical TF designs, but this one went a little awry. I like that the scoop is his right arm & hand, but because of the cyber-key activated "steel punch" feature it's very heavy and unbalanced (on the JBW Longrack, the giraffe's neck & head are the right arm, although it's better balanced).
One feature I really liked is the fact that the arms in robot mode are off-set at approximately a 45° angle from the torso giving Longrack a "body-builder" like appearance, unfortunately you cannot see that in the provided picture.
For those inflicted with children: Here's a TF that will stand up to the standard mindless abuse rug rats subject their toys to & it's easy enough to transform that it won't give them an inferiority complex.
For the Collector: Longrack isn't the best mold out there, but because of the homage to the Japanese Beast Wars Longrack it is a must have for any collector.

Tough as nails and patient as a mountain, Longrack just wants to fulfill his mission to repair as much of the damage already done to Cybertron as possible. He doesn't like to fight, but that doesn't mean he's not good at it. If Runamuck and the other Decepticons are spoiling for a confrontation, Longrack is more than happy to introduce them to his powerful crushsteel punch.
Quick-change this amazing figure from vehicle to robot. Longrack figure changes from hybrid construction vehicle to robot and back. Features a key-activated crush-steel punch. Figure comes with key, planet map and instructions.
