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

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

At one point, he, Skipjack, Mixmaster, Scrapmetal, Ravage, and the Doctor were hiding aboard a boat waiting to arrive at the location where Megatron's corpse was located. Once there, they transformed and went to the bottom of the ocean. After killing Scrapmetal to repair Megatron, they then succeeded in reactivating their fallen leader.

He didn't really do an awful lot — he lumbered around in the same spot during the battle in Egypt, let off a couple of rockets and fires a burst from a heavy machine gun. After he and Megatron shot down two incoming blackhawks, his head separated from his body by the humans' air strike. His tires were even blasted from his shoulder. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Dark of the Moon film

A Long Haul-type Decepticon joins the Chicago invasion, where he scanned a truck and took its alternate form. Later, when Optimus Prime arrived to the battle after being freed from the ropes, Prime swooped down to the street and begins to quickly dispose of the Decepticon minions, including the Long Haul-type Decepticon.

Revenge of the Fallen: The Game

Voice Actor: Neil Kaplan

• His primary weapon are charge grenades. His secondary weapon is a flamethrower. His vehicle mode weapon are twin grenade launchers. His vehicle mode is a green or yellow dump truck. His special ability heals him and any allies in the immediate area.

Note: There is a yellow version of him as an unlockable character only on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions. Long Haul (Yellow) is also an enemy drone in the Autobot campaign, and is the toughest drone to defeat.

Autobot Campaign

Long Haul is with a group of Decepticons sent to Shanghai. He is attacked and killed by Ironhide. Weirdly enough, he is later as a part of Devastator. Resurrection maybe.

Toys

Long Haul, transforms into a dump truck. He forms one of Devastator's legs. In Japan he is a seperate release from the other Constructicons. In America, he has been packed in a giftset with the others.

• Long Haul (Voyager, 2009)

Are we done here? Ive gotta take a dump!

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)

Notes

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.

• 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".
