Longrack is the gabby, annoying class committee member of the group. He is quite serious about following rules to the letter, and will butt in and aggressively complain to others about it. His Arm Shot attack extends his right arm, while his Crush Arm grabs and mangles his enemies. Longrack also specializes in tinkering with machines.
At the beginning of Beast Wars Neo, Longrack is unaccustomed to the responsibility that he given, resulting in his commonly issuing unreasonable orders. When Big Convoy is MIA due to being trapped by the robotic spider “Biter,” Longrack attempts to take charge of the rookie Maximals. To his dismay, his classmates continue to ignore his orders and operate on their own. Big Convoy soon escapes and resumes command of the recruits, leading the Maximals to victory yet again. Big Convoy then explains to Longrack that while one day he may be a great leader with the respect he deserves, he is still young and needs to earn the trust of his fellow soldiers.
[edit] Transformers: Cybertron
| Transformers character | |

| Longrack | |
|---|---|
| Affiliation | Autobot  |
| Function | Planetary Developer |
| Motto | "If you do not follow the rules then you are floating aimlessly in a pool of ignorance." |
| Alternate Modes | Steam Shovel |
| Series | Transformers: Cybertron |
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.
The toy for this character was a retooling of Hoist from the Transformers: Armada line. His cyber key activated the shovel arm feature rather than a Mini-Con.
