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.

Animated series

At the beginning of Beast Wars Neo, Longrack is unaccustomed to the responsibility that he is 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.

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.

Animated series

Longrack was seen among the Autobots on Earth in several episodes. He only appeared in vehicle mode and wasn't named.

Oddly, another transformer looking like Longrack was seen on the planet Gigantion. This transformer was much larger, but identical in design.

Fun Publicatons

Longrack appeared in the text story from Fun Publications called "Force of Habit." This story explained where he was during the events of the "Cybertron" story. Ultra Magnus was the commander of various Autobot ships sent to other planets in search for the Cyber Planet Keys. Longrack served as captain of the Spanner which was sent to Delta Draconis. Among the ship's crew were Armorhide, Blurr and Checkpoint.

Blurr, Excellion, Longrack, and Swerve appeared among Override's troops in the Transformers Collectors Club exclusive story "The Dark Heart of Sandokan" by Benson Yee.

Toys

The toy for this character was a retooling and slight remold of Hoist from the line. His Cyber Key activated the shovel arm feature rather than a Mini-Con.

The head was a new mold and the Mini-Con port was remolded (it was turned into a Cyber Key port).

This toy's body, with the original Hoist head, was redecoed into Timelines Dinobot.

Longrack's toy also made a cameo in the movie "Are We Done Yet?".
