    Hahaha! Long after countless customisers have already done so themselves! Good to see Hasbro taking tips from fans though. Kudos.

    Long Arm is a decent mould and is ambiguous enough that he can fit in either the movie or Universe camp, with the right paint job and a little stretching of the imagination.

    So far this looks far better than the crummy Stockade as Gears repaint. They Should have repainted Stockade as Brawn.

    Yeah I agree as a Hoist repaint he could go well with Universe. I get annoyed with the feet though, and on Longarm the blue wave pattern made the feet to distracting! the solid green bonnet of the hoist repaint will fix this. Also I'm not a fan of the hook permanently attached to his arm.

    Default Looks like Hasbro just sold another Deluxe.

    Hmm...subject to the robot mode being good I may just get Movie 1 Mudflap and this and have the Grapple 'n Hoist pseudo-classics pair.
    'May' as in 'Will definitely'.

    Awesome mold. The head was never too "movie" anyway. I think this will work fine with HenClassiVerse.

    I need me this!Do it Hasbro! Do it!

    But given they're already re-releasing the long-arm mold in a box set, I fear they may not.

    As I quickly started to like Long-Arm after i got him, i Will Definitely try to pick that one up if i can.
    "if of course, Hasbro plans to release it "which" is more than highly likely.... with the possibility of someone/something ruins how it is released".
