Long Haul was a hulking Decepticon and Constructicon, who could combine with his comrades to form Devastator.
History[]
Early Life[]
Little is known about Long Haul's past, he came to earth at some point, took the form of the Caterpillar 773B Dump Truck and was one of the Constructicons used to build Star Harvesters. Long Haul joined The The Fallen's original Decepticons. It was him who discovered humans on Earth, remarking there were a number of these breakable creatures out there and remarking they weren't "tough like us". When Jetfire ordered work on the harvester to be stopped, as they couldn't kill a living world, Long Haul told him to bog off.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen[]
After Ravage and Reedman retrieved the AllSpark shard from NEST's secure bunker at Diego Garcia, Long Haul, Rampage, Mixmaster, Scalpel, Ravage and Scrapmetal secreted themselves aboard the Bayos freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the Laurentian Abyss, the Decepticons jumped overboard and dived down to where Megatron's broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of the smallest Constructicon to rebuild Megatron, a request that Long Haul and the others obliged with. Soon, Megatron was reborn!
Long Haul, along with Mixmaster, prepare to rip Scrapmetal apart to help revive Megatron.
Bio Studio Series Devastator toy confirmed that in film, original Long Haul appears as Devastator's right leg.
"No sign of Sam, Starscream."
Sometime later, Long Haul met up with the other Constructicons, and they all combine into Devastator and shrugged off the Autobot twins and was busy demolishing the Great Pyramid of Giza when Simmons called upon the United States Navy to attack Devastator. The U.S.S. Kidd fired their experimental rail gun, blowing Scrapper off and destroying Devastator.
During Operation: Firestorm, Long Haul joined Starscream, Mixmaster, Rampage, Scrapper, Buffalo MPV Decepticon and the other Decepticons in their search for Sam Witwicky and the Matrix of Leadership. He, along with his Constructicon friends fought against the NEST forces in the Egyptian town near the great ruins of the pyramids, being one of the biggest Constructicons, killing many soldiers, destroying multiple tanks and shooting multiple down a Jordanian helicopter.
Despite Long Haul being the biggest Constructicon, and getting lucky killshots, his luck soon ran out as he was killed during the United States Air Force air strike on the remaining Decepticons, getting a tire from his shoulder blown off, with pieces of his armor tearing off of him as he tumbled, & drops dead and mutilated.
Long Haul is killed by the United States Airstrike.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon[]
Man, these Constructicons are all over!
Once Sentinel Prime and Megatron activated the space bridge pillars, the hidden brethren of Decepticon Protoforms were able to cross over from the moon to Washington, D.C., as Long Haul and the other Decepticons began terrorizing Washington D.C.
Long Haul joined his fellow Constructicon Scrapper during the Decepticons' occupation of Chicago. Whereas Long Haul shot at Optimus Prime, but was killed shortly when Prime shot him with his gun during a magnificent, mile-long rampage that left several Decepticons dead.
