Explanation of the conversion: This conversion is based on a combination of Galaxy Force and Cybertron Longrack. I used highest of either's Tech Specs and watched the television series to add details.

History: Longrack II is tough as nails and patient as a mountain. He is a sharp-minded warrior who graduated from the Cybertonian Military Academy at the top of his class. Although at first indecisive in whether he should be a warrior or a mechanic, his ability to perceive battle conditions and analytical ability have won victory for the Autobots in more than one battle. He doesn't like to fight, but that doesn't mean he's not good at it.

Longrack II was presumably among the many Autobots who took on Earth-style alternate modes from scans brought back to Cybertron by Jetfire III (Transformers Galaxy Force 1.01).

Once on Earth, Longrack II served to protect and guide the civilian Autobots hidden on the planet, which kept him away from most overt battles with the Decepticons, but was invaluable in helping his fellows survive on their temporary home.

Longrack II After the former Autobot Mudflap was abandoned by the Decepticons in battle, he left them and struck out on his own. With the help of Landmine III, Crosswise III, Blurr III, Longrack II and other Autobots on Earth, Mudflap returned to the Autobots (Transformers: Cybertron 1.37).

Once the Autobots returned to Cybertron Longrack II was assigned to lead the project to rebuild their world. He just wants to fulfill his mission to repair as much of the damage already done to Cybertron as possible. If Runamuck or the other Decepticons return looking for a fight, Longrack II is more than happy to introduce them to the business end of his shovel arm.

Trivia: Longrack II shouldn't be confused with the original Longrack, a Maximal who turns into a giraffe. In Japan Longrack II is sold together with Runabout II, but in the United States he is sold alone. The toy of Longrack II was sold with a DVD of the third episode of Transformers: Cybertron in the U.S.

Longrack II Powers: Longrack II is just as brilliant on the battlefield as he is in the field of repair and construction. He is strong, tough and a highly skilled fighter. He has a moderately powered laser weapon mounted in his left arm, but his most trusted weapon is the shovel on the end of his right arm, which has increased reach and destructive capability. His vehicle mode is capable of obtaining speeds of over 95 mph. Force Chip Ignition can increase the power of his Crushsteel Punch to levels where nearly nothing can stand up to it.

Weaknesses: Longrack II's overconfidence in his abilities to handle any fight by himself can lead to him facing superior forces alone when he should be getting help from his follow Autobots. Longrack II has only average firepower at range and about average speed. He cannot fly.
