Product Description
LONG HAUL is too bitter to be an effective soldier on his own. Despite the fact that he is part of one of the most destructive and terrifying DECEPTICON® squads of all time, he is too often treated as little more than a cargo hauler. Other DECEPTICONS® sling their gear into his bed without a second thought, and order him to carry it around for them. Rather than confront them, heâTMd rather grumble about it privately, then stop on the way and destroy whatever … More >>

Long Haul is really a figure that his quality depends on how much you are willing to work with him. He’s not as bulky as his movie model, but his sculpt looks great, and compared to other figures, still pretty huge. The wheels posistioned floating over his head can be moved over his shoulders like in the movie. I kind of wish he had a better weapon than the pop out swords, but they are cool and aren’t as annoying as Leader Primes. His posability is kind of weird. Legs seem to do fine but his wrists and arms only move out and in depending on how you have his shoulders positioned. I haven’t noticed anything popping off, so he seems pretty child friendly. Transformation can be a little ackward; his legs are hard to fold up correctly to form the front. Vehicle mode looks great, though. He can even really dump stuff! I know not all that exciting, but it’s really cool that it was included. I like him better when compared to the other Constructicons. I would would rate him a #1 out of the 4, with Mixmaster a close second, Rampage, and then Demolishor.

Long Haul was my new favorite decepticon when I played the ROTF game for xbox and I couldn’t wait for his voyager to be released. I had thought he wouldn’t be released until August but I was a Target the other day and found him. In the box, he is already in robot mode and looks great though not as bulky and his color is brighter then he appeared in the movie and game. He has great articulation ‘cept my only complaint is his arms move left and right at the elbow instead of up and down unless you rotate it at the shoulder. Long Haul has a flip out axe on each arm that reminded me of the Wreckage figure from the last movie. Tranformation is a little difficult but after trial and error you get it sooner or later. Vehicle mode looks great and the dump bed actually works too. If you can find him, get him because he is one of the better Transformers in this line.

My son is 4, and is not able to transform this himself. I found the instructions to be difficult to understand. From the reviews, others do not seem to have this issue. Perhaps it is me, though I do have 2 college degrees (you know the old joke about it taking 2 degrees to figure something out). Cool factor is awesome. Some age recommendations are accurate and some are not. Definitely need to be older than 4 in my experience.

Long Haul is one of the later Voyager Transformers that comes out, but if you had researched well, you might have definitely heard about him months before he came out. Since Long Haul is a Voyager, he is a couple inches higher than the average deluxe figure. It is funny, however, how his vehicle mode makes him appear to be a deluxe (but there is always more than meets the eye). He has very fine flexibility with his legs and arms. Much like leader class Optimus Prime, he has pop out swords. As for his Mech Alive gimmick, he has moving pistons (that work suprisingly alot like bicep muscles) on his arms and a move gear on his chest plate that turns along with his head. Transformation may be difficult at first, but once you understand the general concept of how everything pulls out, it becomes simple. Unfortunately his size is smaller than it should be. In fact, his petite size can be slightly annoying for those who like Transformers with the same balanced measurement. And unless you don’t care about his vehicle mode being nearly the size of a motorcycle Transformer (e.g. Arcee or Chromia), this shouldn’t be much of a problem for you. Sadly though, I do care. So over-all I give it 5-stars.

I passed this one up so many times but finally decided to pick him up after reading the other Amazon reviews. No regrets! Although the vehicle mode looks kind of small considering that it should be a mega-sized dump truck, the robot mode is just thee right size. Robot mode is very imposing with lots of neat details, most notably the “hydraulic” pistons in his arms. Other cool little details are molded in gears and hydraulics. Despite the funky green color, paint details are nice. I like the earth-mover feet too. Proportions in robot mode are great and he appears very hefty and imposing with no strange bulky items hanging off his back like a lot of transformers. Vehicle mode is great with a dump bed that works (sort of). It rolls well and holds together very well without popping apart. The leg transformation is very tricky the first time but once you realize that everything fits together tight and perfect, it’s really impressive how they get it to all fit in there. A highly recommended transformer that will look great on display.
