Long Haul (or his look-alike) can first be seen in the Chicago invasion sequence, where he scans a truck and takes it's alternate form. Later, when [[Optimus Prime]] arrives to the battle after being freed from the ropes, Prime swoops down to the street and begins to quickly dispose of the Decepticon minions. During this scene, when Optimus is the center focus of the camera, Long Haul can be seen in the background for a split second. He is not killed by Optimus in this particular sequence, and does not appear at all in the rest of the film.

Look closely, I'm not the tank guy!

Long Haul is grumpy and always hates to carry his allies' stuff like a pack mule. He always grumbles how he should be fighting rather than carrying all the junk. He is (against his own will) part of the Constructicon team. Sometimes he likes to abandon the cargo he carries and says he "lost" it.

Fiction

Revenge of the Fallen film

Rotf-longhaul-film-underthesea

Under the sea.. under the sea...need some parts...to create a zombie... under the sea!

At one point, he, Rampage, Mixmaster , Scrapmetal, Ravage, Hightower, and The Docter are hiding aboard a boat waiting to arrive at the location where Megatron's corpse is located. Once there, they transform and go to the bottom of the ocean to. After killing Scrapmetal to repair Megatron, they then succeed in reactivating their fallen leader.


He doesn't really do an awful lot — he lumbers around in the same spot during the battle in Egypt, lets off a couple of rockets and fires a burst from a heavy machine gun. After he and Megatron shoot down two incoming blackhawks, he is incapacitated by the humans' air strike, the missiles having blasted the tires from his shoulder. Presumably he is killed along with the other Decepticons in the carpet bombing that follows. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

The on-package introduction note calls his flip-out weapons swords, but their shape is more akin to axes. Also, unlike his Generation One counterpart, his truck bed actually functions in vehicle mode like the real thing.
  • Constructicon Devastator (2009)
Long Haul sadly does NOT turn into robot mode, only the vehicle and "leg" mode.
  • Long haul (legends, 2010)

Trivia

Rotf-longhaul-nizzi

Hey, Long Haul! In the words of Donald Trump: "You're hired!"

  • Long Haul is based on piece of post-2007 movie fan art by professional artist Josh Nizzi[1] which in turn caught the attention of Michael Bay and the company who hired him very shortly thereafter. It looks like the design was used with hardly any change in the base design. Bay must have really liked it.
  • According to an early render of Devastator and his "components", Long Haul was given the production nickname of "Big Green".
