Strongarm (RID)

Strongarm is anAutobotfrom theRobots in Disguiseportion of theAligned continuity family.

Next time onRookie Blue...

CadetStrongarmsees a bright future in law enforcement ahead of her. She knows the regulations front-to-back, able to recall them by number with ease as needed (often to her teammates' chagrin). She is full of seemingly-boundless energy, and is more than willing to throw herself into dangerous situations in order to collar a target. Being assigned to work withBumblebee,hero of the war with the Decepticons, is a sure sign that she's destined to go places! Maybe even all the way toEarth!

This enthusiasm for her job makes her a tenacious officer, but also difficult to work with. Bumblebee's rather loose command style doesn't quite gel with the cadet's by-the-rules approach, as she uses protocol to sometimes get around Bumblebee's orders. It also puts her directly at odds withSideswipe,a bot who breaks rules almost habitually and constantly thumbs his nose at authority. She's not terribly thrilled about working with convicted criminalGrimlockeither, but at least he doesn't specifically try and pick fights with her like Sideswipe does.

Sometimes she works with theMini-ConsSawtoothorTrickout.She can also combine with either the legendary war heroOptimus Primeto formPrimestrong,or with the rest of theBee Teamto formUltra Bee.

When the gladiatorGroundpounderand his cheating managerHeadlockdebuted at the Crown CityRumbledome,Strongarm and the other Autobots- minus Grimlock and Fixit- tried to GroundBridge into the city. Instead, they wound up in the Arctic, and then appeared outside the city limits, where they were held up by traffic while Grimlock fought Groundpounder.

She was less than impressed by the newcomerWindbladeand was particularly irked by Windblade's cavalier attitude toward protocol. The disagreement boiled over when the Autobots set out in search ofZizza,when Windblade revealed that she didn't care if humans were caught in the crossfire. The two Autobots eventually resolved their differences, and Strongarm's knowledge of Earth bees helped her bring in Zizza.The Buzz on Windblade

Feeling homesick for Cybertron, Strongarm came along with the team on a "vacation" toEdmondville.Although the gang had fun scaring off a group of human tourists, things took a turn for the worse when they encounteredPseudo,who locked Strongarm and the Mini-Cons in an old bank vault.

After a brief chase, the Autobots managed to subdue theShifter.Ghosts and ImpostorsOn a training exercise with Sideswipe, both Autobots were ambushed by Decepticons; Strongarm managed to send a fragmentary transmission back to the base before she was captured by Fracture. The duo were later joined by Windblade, and all three of them were lashed to theCrown City Colossuswhile the Decepticons worked to summonMegatronus.Battlegrounds, Part 1With their ranks bolstered by a revived Optimus Prime, the three Autobots were freed and joined in the fight. Although Optimus faltered in his fight against Megatronus, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Strongarm were able to unlock the power of their Decepticon hunters and give themselves a power-up, allowing them to fire a sustained blast at Megatronus and vaporize him. With Steeljaw's gang almost entirely arrested, Strongarm opted to remain on Earth alongside her commander.Battlegrounds, Part 2

Following a GroundBridge explosion, she helped clear up and along with Bumblebee and Grimlock, was defeated by Overload when the Decepticon arrived at the scrapyard.Overloaded, Part 1After tracking Overload to a parking lot, the team split up with Grimlock and Strongarm trying to track the Cyclone Mini-Cons. They soon realized they'd actually been tracking humans, but managed to maintain their cover. They caught up with Bumblebee in time to help take Overload back to base.Overloaded, Part 2

Missing the teamwork she had developed with Sideswipe, Strongarm attempted to establish a similar rapport with Grimlock, which mainly resulted in them bungling an attempt to captureSaberhorn.During the later fight at the steel mill, they were eventually able to work together enough to save Bumblebee from being melted down, though Saberhorn himself got away.Metal MeltdownWhen she accidentally endangered some motorists during the pursuit ofCrazyboltandSlicedice,Strongarm became demoralized and turned in her Decepticon Hunter.

When a wounded Steeljaw turned up at the scrapyard, Bumblebee, Strongarm and Grimlock followed the trail of energon he'd left to a disused drive in. Following the arrival ofScorponok,Crazybolt and Slicedice, the Autobots discovered that Steeljaw had been feigning. Strongarm sped back to base where she confronted the Con, and though she was able to best him in combat and rescue Fixit, Denny and Russell, he managed to get away and had freed a bunch of prisoners.Misdirection

After weeks of hunting for leads to find the new group of Decepticons, Strongarm turned down the opportunity to stake out aRear Axleconcert in favor of brushing up on her regulations. When Bisk turned up at the concert, Bumblebee called her and Grimlock in as backup, however the pair were held up by traffic.Bumblebee's Night OffThe Autobots tracked down the DecepticonSilverhoundto a carnival, and engaged him in a nearby parking lot. After a brief struggle, during which Grimlock was tossed in the middle of a nearby crowd, Strongarm successfully captured the Alchemor escapee. She then covered for Grimlock, announcing on her speakers that he was part of an upcoming exhibit; "If Dinosaurs Could Talk." On their next mission, she and Bumblebee were stunned by Quillfire's quills and ended up in an impound lot, booted and dazed. Strongarm particularly objected to being held among "common criminals" in the lot. They had to be rescued by Denny and Russell, and with the help of Grimlock, now sporting a construction crane disguise for his dino mode, successfully captured Quillfire and his two new Mini-Con partners,BackandForth.Impounded

After a chance encounter resulted inRatchetjoining the team, the Autobots got a lead to the location of the remaining Decepticons on Earth;Toolbox,recent escapee from "Decepticon Island." The Autobots disguised Grimlock as a Decepticon, and used a ruse wherein the rest of the team posed as captives to infiltrate the crashedAlchemor,base to the Decepticons. Despite making good headway at first, Strongarm and the others were discovered by the Decepticon higher ups after an argument between Bumblebee and Optimus caused the mission to stall out. The Autobots then found themselves completely surrounded by Steeljaw's troops.Decepticon Island (Part 1)

Thanks to Windblade providing them with an impromptu distraction, the rest of the Autobots managed to make a break for it and slipped away from the Decepticons. They then split up into smaller teams, with Strongarm, Grimlock, and Sideswipe being sent off to try and free the Mini-Cons being held captive. They ended up in a communications room where they encountered Groundpounder and Thunderhoof. By kicking him while he was in mid-air, Strongarm put Sideswipe outside the range of one of Thunderhoof's seismic stomps, allowing him to get to a nearby monitor and transmit a disabling frequency. Holding onto consciousness for seconds longer than the Decepticons could, Strongarm's team managed to best their opponents. After using the communications equipment to free the Mini-Cons, the trio escaped the ship before thecryo-gasset up by Bumblebee bomb froze everyone aboard.

In the aftermath of the battle, several Autobots opted to return to Cybertron, as the current Decepticon crisis had been dealt with. Strongarm decided to instead stay on Earth, and help Bumblebee set up a permanent base of operations to more properly meet any future threats that might come to the planet.Decepticon Island (Part 2)When news of the Bee Team's exploits reached Cybertron, Strongarm became one of the many Autobots blacklisted by theHigh Councilfor being a supporter of Optimus Prime.Enemy of My Enemy

On the way, she spotted that the bomb's explosion was imminent, and ended up having to alert Bumblebee to that fact as well.History Lessons

She insisted on taking him on her next mission to improve her score, and as a result he accompanied her toMount St. Hilary,where the pair foundScatterspikeandSawtoothengaged in a drilling operation that threatened to cause the volcano to erupt. After capturing Scatterspike in a fight that spilled out into a nearbyhuman settlement,Strongarm successfully prevented the volcano from exploding, and Fixit raised her score by a point and a half.

Unlike most of the clear-coloredAdventureLegion Class exclusives, Strongarm keeps the paint operations on her helmet and face.

Unfortunately, the scan-badge sticker is slightly too big for the surface area it's been put on, leaving bits of the edges exposed.

• Patrol Mode Strongarm(Legion Class, 2016)

Part of the fifth wave ofRobots in DisguiseLegion-class figures, "Patrol" Mode Strongarm is aredecoof the original Legion Strongarm, with a mostly-black coloration.

Just as with the previous version of the mold, her scannable Autobotinsigniais on her drivers-side door in vehicle mode, becoming her left arm in robot mode. This badge is accessible while she is still in-package.

• Team Bumblebee VS Megatronus Set(Multi-pack, 2015)

• ID Number:TAV34
• Release date:December 19,2015

In Japan, the "normal" Legion Class Strongarm toy was only available as part of anEZ Collectionfour-pack, released in the tenth wave ofAdventureproduct. A fairly extensive redeco, this toy replaces her blue plastics with white, and gives her atonof newpaint operationsto make for an amazingly show-accurate toy at such a small scale... even though they forgot the side-windows. Whoopsie.

This toy lacks a scan-badge sticker, unlike virtually all of theRobots in Disguise / Adventureproducts. Instead its scan-badge is printed on a single collector's card that also features the badges for the other three figures in the set:Bumblebee,Sideswipe,andMegatronus.

Like the rest of theAdventure EZ Collectionsets, some online retailers like Amazon Japan were still selling it two years later, at greatly reduced prices, upwards of 70% off.

Mini-Con Battle Packs

(Hasbro version pictured)

(TakaraTomy version pictured)

• Strongarm & Mini-Con Sawtooth(Mini-Con Battle Pack, 2016)
  • Takara ID number:TAV-52
  • Takara release date:July 23,2016
  • Accessories:Sword, chest/head armor, left & right shark-head armor, left & right blade-armor

Part of the third wave of Mini-Con/armor two-packs, and the first wave with the new "Mini-Con Weaponizers" branding, this version of Strongarm is slightly smaller than her Warrior-class toy (putting her more in show-like scale with the Warrior Decepticons) and with a slightly simpler transformation.

She comes with multiple clear-plastic armor pieces that can attach to her robot mode; only the "leg" armor can stay on her vehicle mode without interfering with either her vehicle-mode integrity or being able to roll. Unlike prior waves, these pieces do not form a separate super-weapon, but instead attach to her pack-in partnerSawtoothin either robot or weapon mode.

The TakaraTomyAdventure"Sawtooth & Strongarm Torrent Armor" release of this set, sold in the seventeenth(!) wave of the line, uses a darker blues plastic, and (as usual) gives her aconsiderableamount of paint on her torso and head, and more paint detailing on her vehicle mode front end to make her look more like, well, herself.

One-Step Changers

Dispatch calls, "Are you doin' something wicked?" No siree jack, we're just giving out tickets.(Hasbro Version Pictured)

(TakaraTomy Version Pictured)

• Strongarm(One Step Changer, 2015)
  • Japanese release date:2015-07-25
  • Japanese ID number:TED-10

Part of the first wave of One-Step Changers, Strongarm transforms from robot to police SUV in a single step: folding down her vehicle-mode hood and truck bed unfolds and spins around her robot mode from the cab area. In robot mode, she has extremely limited posability, with just shoulder-swivels and some extra outward-swing thanks to her transformation. Her fists have5mm post-compatible holes. Due to how the legs are molded, Strongarm cannot ride onStomp & Chomp Grimlock.

Her scannable Autobotinsigniais on her right shoulder in robot mode. As it's on a folded-up robot bit and she's packaged in vehicle mode, there's no way to scan this while she is still in-package.

TheTakaraTomyAdventurerelease of "Easy Dynamic" Strongarm was released as the only ED figure in the series' fifth wave of product. It features an extensive amount of paint applications for greater show-accuracy, though they missed her hands, waist, and feet.

No, I'm not part of theNight Rescue Team.Why do you ask?

• Patrol Mode Strongarm(One Step Changer, 2015)

Part of the fifth wave of One Step Changers, "Patrol Mode Strongarm" is a redeco of the One Step Changer above, with a coloration similar to the "Patrol" Legends-class toy (which was in wave 5 of its assortment, so there's a trivia nugget for ya), being almost entirely black with just a few bits of white (considerably less white than the Legends toy has).

Like the original One-Step, her scannable Autobotinsigniais on her right shoulder in robot mode, unscannable while still in-package.

More blue and white. Can't we get just one releasein red?

• Strongarm(One-Step Changer, 2016)

Part of the first wave of the "Mini-Con Weaponizers"subline imprint,this One-Step Changer figure of Strongarm is a new sculpt with an all-new transformation... one that is more of a two-step, or one-and-a-half-ish, and doesn't leave her with such a massive backpack. This Strongarm cannot ride onStomp & Chomp Grimlock.

In theRobots in Disguisemobile game,it was identified alternatively as an "Advanced One-Step" or "Evolved One-Step" figure depending on the user's region, but on the toy's packaging, no such modifiers are featured, and it is available as part of the regular One-Step Changer assortment.

This mold was retooled intoRatchet.

• Strongarm(One-Step Changer, 2017)

Part of the "Combiner Force"subline imprint,This Strongarm is a new mold, sharing a similar transformation to Wave 9'sBumblebee.Her scannable badge is on her left side of the vehicle's shell, accessible while in-package. Continuing the tradition, this Strongarm still cannot ride on Stomp & Chomp Grimlock.

Warrior Class

When no one's watching, she folds her back-kibble down and pretends it's a cape.(Hasbro Version Pictured)

(TakaraTomy Version Pictured)

• Strongarm(Warrior Class, 2014-2016)
  • Japanese release date:2015-03-21
  • Japanese ID number:TAV03
  • Accessories:Rifle

Warrior Class Strongarm transforms into a police SUV of made-up model. This larger, more complex and poseable version of the character includes a rifle accessory (with an odd permanent "blast effect" on the barrel-tip), which can be mounted using 5mm ports in both robot and vehicle mode. Like so many toys, her head is designed with alight-pipinggimmickthat's rendered moot by both opaque plastic and painted optics.

Her scannable Autobotinsigniais on her robot-mode right chestplate. As she's packaged in robot mode, this badge is easily scannable on-card without purchase.

First released in late 2014/early 2015 as part of the first wave of the Warrior Class assortment, Strongarm was later re-released in 2016 in theCombiner Forcesubline imprintpackaging refresh.

TheTakaraTomyAdventureversion of this toy (sold in the first wave of product) uses a deeper shade of blue, as well as having more complicatedpaint operations.In vehicle mode she has a silver grill and blue striping on her hood, as well as more complicated striping on her side-panels. In robot mode, rather than having the solid-blue chestplate and helmet, she has much more show-accurate white-and-blue striping. Her scan-badge is also different, used in TakaraTomy'sTransformers Chronicleapp, though in-package it's covered by a dummy sticker to prevent pre-purchase scanning.

This sculpt was also used to makeGreejeeber,and retooled differently intoRatchet.In 2017, the original figure eventually made a comeback in the 10th wave of the Warrior Class line with the "Combiner Force" packaging. Her scannable sticker is also altered, but scanning the badge only unlocks Energon currency, but not the character.

• Strongarm vs Phantomjaw(Vs set, 2015)
  • Release date:2015-06-27
  • ID number:TAVVS03
  • Accessories:Rifle

Strongarm was also released in a TakaraTomy "VS" two-pack, pitting her against fellow police-vehiclePhantomjaw.This release of Strongarm is physically identical to her individual release.

Crash Combiners

Picking up a bot like 3 times her size? They don't call her Strongarm for nothing.

• Strongarm and Optimus Prime(Crash Combiners, 2016/2017)

Part of the first wave of theCombiner Forcesubline, Strongarm is a roughly Scout-class sized figure that changes from futuristic patrol car into a robot in three extremely simple steps. Her individual robot mode only has limited articulation on her shoulders, but she can also spread her legs for a more dramatic pose thanks to her combined form's transformation scheme. Strongarm also has a little green arrow above the connector on the front bumper indicating where to crash her to combine with other figures. A 5mm post hole on top of her vehicle mode can accommodate a compatible accessory or Weaponizer Minicon, though she cannot use it in her individual robot mode.

Strongarm comes packaged withOptimus Primeand is intended to combine with him to formPrimestrong's lower body. Connecting them to each other will activate Optimus Prime's automatic transformation, but Strongarm must be converted manually. She can also combine with any other Crash Combiner figure to form a random Combiner.

The instruction sheet amusingly replaces Optimus's last picture in the transformation process with that ofSideswipe.

• Lunar Force Strongarm and Optimus Prime(Crash Combiners, 2017)

Released in the second wave of Crash Combiners, this Strongarm is a vaguely-space-themed redeco of the figure above. Just as before, she comes with Optimus Prime, also redecoed.

Activator Combiners

Sunday Sunday Sunday!

• Strongarm & Trickout(Activator Combiner, 2017)

Released as part of the first wave ofRobots in DisguiseActivator Combiners,this version of Strongarm is a larger-but-simpler-than-Warrior figure that transforms into her usual patrol truck mode.

Plugging an Activator Mini-Con, such as her pack-in partnerTrickout,onto her vehicle-mode lightbar activates "Throttle Up" mode, opening her front side-panels and popping her wheels down for a more monster-truck-like vehicle mode. This mode can also be triggered without a Mini-Con by pushing the black button behind the lightbar. There is a minor issue with the trigger getting stuck in "Throttle Up" mode, which may require some work to get her wheels and panels locked back into place.

Team Combiners

"Keisatsu Gat-time! Time to grab hold of justice!"

• Ultra Bee(Team Combiner, 2017)

Released as part of theUltra Beeset, Strongarm transforms from robot to vehicle in just 1 step, and combines with Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Grimlock to form Ultra Bee. As a Team Combiner limb, Strongarm can swap out for the right arm of any of the other two Team Combiners.

Each toy uses the same universal combination joint as the other Team Combiners and theCrash Combiners,which can lead to some...interestingcombinations, given that most robots form very specific body parts when combined. Mi xing Crash Combiners with Team Combiners leads to someespeciallyweird results.

Kre-O

• Strongarm Capture Cruiser(2015)
  • Set Number:B1549
  • Pieces:105
  • Kreons:Strongarm,Springload
  • Accessories:Crossbow

Only available in the "Strongarm Capture Cruiser" set, this Strongarm Kreon uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes them incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. She also comes with a buildableCapture Cruiservehicle modeled vaguely after her.

While the Kreon itself does not have a scannable badge, the set'sinstruction booklethas a unique scan-badge that rewards the player with a Strongarm Kreon item.

All of the 2015TransformersKre-Oproduct was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set... although Strongarm andSideswipe's sets turned up in considerably smaller numbers than the others, only to see a later, larger release through Dollar General stores.

Hero Mashers

Thanks to the play pattern, you can give her the Wrong Arm Of The Law.

• Strongarm(2015)
  • Pieces:9
  • Accessories:Crossbow

Part of the fourth and final wave of "basic"TransformersHero MashersAction Figures —and the second of theRobots in Disguise-themed product— Strongarm is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. She has peg-holes on each body part (save the head) that can be used to mount anyHero Mashersaccessory.

She is designed with a removable head, forearms, upper legs, and boots, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means her pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any otherHero Mashersfigure... which includes figures fromMarvel Comics,Star Wars,andJurassic World,meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

The fourth wave ofHero Masherswas not released in the US, seeing release mostly in European and Australian markets.

Legacy

Like a kid putting on her mom's clothes.

• Robots In Disguise 2015 Universe Strongarm(Deluxe Class, 2023)

• Accessories:Blaster, lightbar
• Known designers:Mark Maher(Hasbro),Koki Yamada(TakaraTomy)^[1]

Released in the seventh wave ofLegacyDeluxes under theEvolutionbanner, this Strongarm is anextensiveretoolingofElita-1;nearly everything from the waist up is new, but she shares the same transformation scheme and engineering. She transforms into a fairly squashed version of her traditional police pickup vehicle mode. This version of the mold attaches the pauldrons to the shoulders themselves rather than the backpack, allowing for additional movement and improved arm articulation, and also gives her articulated door wings.

She includes an all-new blaster weapon with both5 mm postsand a 3mmblast effect-compatible peg on the barrel tip, as well as a removable lightbar (which you can attach to one of her arms if you really want to replicate that feature of her original design, at least halfway). While the blaster can store on several ports in vehicle mode, herEvo-Fusiondescription specifies attaching it to the truck bed to form a "thruster"… right next to the four thrusters already present on the rear.

The base mold was also used to makeMinerva.

Strongarm was later re-released in the 9th wave of Legacy Deluxes, under theUnitedbanner this time.

"Disco" Strongarm

• Strongarm(Tiny Titans, 2016)

As per usual, she comes with a collectible card with a scan-badge for the mobile game, which unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item.

Titan Guardians

Half of ablack repaint

• Strongarm(Titan Guardian, 2016)

Part of the second wave of "Titan Guardian" figures, this version of Strongarm is a hard-plastic 6-inch non-transforming figure, with swivel shoulders and waist, and a ball-jointed head. She also has holes in her feet for foot-pegs, though lord knows what toys/playsets actually use those.

This toy, like all Titan-style figures, was mainly distributed through drug stores, "dollar" stores (such as Family Dollar) and similar outlets. It came in three different types of packaging: A fully-enclosed box, or a bubble-less card with the toy twist-tied to the back and base, and a "Combiner Force" version of the open-card packaging.

Radz

• Strong Arm[sic](Radz candy dispenser, 2015)
  • Blindbag code:F

TheRadzcandy-dispenser version of Strongarm is a plastic sphereoid with feet, spiky "hair", and a keychain fob. Pulling the hair back opens the toy's "mouth" and projects a little bowl-like tongue, dispensing a single colored sugar pellet. The hair can be taken off to refill the dispenser, and swapped with any other Radz.

Strongarm was available only in ablindpackedbaggie, though the bag has a code number on the back under the "best by" date that tells you what's inside (only the last letter is the important part). She comes with a bag of sugar pellets, and a mini-poster with a collection checklist on the back.

McDonald's

• Strongarm Vision Mask / Strongarm Mask(2016 / 2017)
  • McNumber:6(US only)

Part of the thirdMcDonald'sHappy Meal promotion forRobots in Disguisein the US (fourth globally), this Strongarm mask is unique among the Happy Meal masks in that it adds a movable clear-red viewfinder that can drop down over either eye, letting the wearer "scan" stuff in the style of the oldTech Specdecoders, or better see the hidden Autobot sigil in the middle of the masks's crest.

Scanning the figure into the "McPlay" app opens up someTransformers / My Little Ponyactivities.

This set of masks was first released in Asian markets in early 2016. In October 2017, the four masks were matched with four figures from the early-2017 non-US promo and finally released in the US in a joint promotion withMy Little Pony.

• Strongarm / Strongarm Figure(2017)
  • McNumber:5(US only)
  • Accessories:Missile launcher, missile

Part of the third McDonald's Happy Meal promotion forRobots in Disguisein the US (fifth globally), this Strongarm is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming action figure with articulation at the neck and shoulders. Her oversized missile launcher accessory uses a5 mm postfor its handle, making her compatible with most other "modern"Transformersaccessories. The screw-hole in her back is also 5 mm, but storing the launcher there makes her back-heavy to the point of falling over.

Scanning the figure into the "McPlay" mobile app opens up someTransformers / My Little Ponyactivities.

This set of toys was first released in European markets in early 2017. In October 2017, four of the five figures were matched with the masks from the 2016 non-US promo and finally released in the US in a joint promotion withMy Little Pony.

Surprise Drinks

At nearly $2 a 10oz bottle... yyyeah.

• Strongarm(2016)

TheTransformers: Robots in Disguise"Surprise Drinks"bottles come with two different Strongarm toys: a show-accurate 1.5-inch non-transforming soft-plastic figurine, or a similarly-sized pencil-topper of her head. These toys are hidden inside the capsule attached to the bottle by the wrapper. These are randomly blindpacked and donotcorrelate with who's on the wrapper, and there's no codes, so... good luck.

Dickie Toys

• Strongarm(2016)

Made by German toymakerSimba Dickie Group,this is a (roughly) 1:64-scaledie-castmetal truck based on Strongarm's show model, except with giant Autobot symbols on her wheels.

Each toy in the series comes on two different styles of card: one has the character-specific stock art, while the other is a generic card featuringBumblebee,OptimusandSideswipe.

• Strongarm 2 Pack(2017)

This release of the Strongarm die-cast truck is identical to the single-pack, only it comes with a die cast metal non-transforming mini figure of Strongarm in robot mode.

• Strongarm Tin Box Set(2017)

Another slightly-different packaging of the same die cast metal truck; this time it comes with a metal carrying tin with Strongarm's stock art on it, as well as a collector's card.

• Robots in Disguise 2 Pack(2107)

Same base toy as the above, only this time packaged with the unalteredOptimus Primevehicle.

• Robots in Disguise 5 Pack(2017)

Anotherrepackaging of the same truck. This time, it comes in a multi-pack with similarly-unchanged versions of theOptimus PrimeandSteeljawvehicles, as well as "Special Mission" redecoes of theBumblebeeandSideswipevehicles.

• Strongarm Light Up Racer(2017)

An actually-different version of the Strongarm die cast truck! While it's the same scale, still die cast and looks more or less the same, this version has a bright light inside, that shines through the clear-plastic undercarriage when activated.

Notes

• The end credits sequence forAdventureproves Strongarm's got some moves on the dance floor.
• TheFlockmemberMatildatakes on Strongarm's form inAngry Birds Transformers.
• Strongarm's body-type was also used forNightrain "Guilty As Charged",aLighthousestaff member inLost Light#3,Shattered GlassCrasher's body in "Coalescence",and of course,Shattered GlassStrongarm.
• Likely by sheer coincidence, Strongarm's characterisation as a rule following, studious young police bot seems to match up with an unreleased bio ofone of the previous bearers of her name.^[2]
