Longarm and Dropkick are my two favorite non-movie movie characters. Dropkick has a design that actually looks like it fits in with the movie aesthetic when so many of them just look like more traditional Transformers characters, and Longarm is basically Movie Hoist with an obtuse callout to Aaron Archer's screen name plastered on its side. Plus, they have fun but straightforward transformations that don't require so many parts orbiting around each other like some of the other guys. Also, Dropkick's giant Decepticon sigil is so ridiculously awesome. Another thing worth pointing out is that the character art on the package for Dropkick showed that he had windshield wipers under his optics, with the fandom taking the joke to mean he's actually a whiny knob-o teenager who has to use them to keep the tears out of his face.

I'm almost certain the non-scout class Unicron Trilogy repaints were initially planned for the 2008 Universe line before being moved over to the Movie line as store exclusives.

I honestly love stockade, cause I just imagine him breaking through a wall like the koolaid man and backhanding an autobot across the battlefield like donkey Kong

Love this vid, love your passion Thew. Great to be introduced to a bunch of bots I’ve never seen before. Is it wrong I actually like the look of Landmine 😂

Land mine was my all time favorite “generic soldier” I would use for the autobot army I had as a kid.

Longarm's such a lad, I love him so much that when mine started to yellow I bought a second. Fun fact off the wiki - you can unscrew his rifle from his hand and peg it to his left one and it'll still transform fine.
