Revision as of 20:38, 4 July 2011
- Long Haul is a Decepticon from the live-action film continuity family.
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
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
Dark of the Moon film
Long Haul's character model can be briefly seen several time throughout the film. Seeing as how he died in the last film, it is unkown if this is really him or if the production team simply re-used his character model for a different Decepticon.

Toys

Trivia
- 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.
- Speaking of things barely changing, this Long Haul's personality barely changed from his Generation One counterpart.
- According to an early render of Devastator and his "components", Long Haul was given the production nickname of "Big Green".
