Explanation of the conversion:
History: Highly intelligent, Longhorn is a warrior philosopher. One of the most powerful Maximals, believes that
war is trying but necessary. A talented strategist as well as front-line warrior. Well liked by his comrades for
circumspect attitude and admired for tenacity in battle. Often shouts his slogan, ''When I see Vehicons, I see red... and
when I see red, things get ugly!'' before charging fearlessly into battle. Generates paralyzing thunderclaps by stomping on
the ground. Despite serious demeanor, Longhorn takes
great joy in battle, especially when goring Vehicons. Considers himself a vegetarian.
Rook, Snarl III, Skydive III, Longhorn and Che witnessed the start of an invasion of Cybertron by the Quintessons and their
Sharkticon army (Transformers: Wreckers #4).
Trivia: Longhorn shouldn't be confused with Longhorn II, an Autobot who turns into a transmetal ram.
Powers: Longhorn is highly energy efficient and has incredible strength and toughness.
He converts into a techno-organic bull which can charge at speeds of over 75 mph for short bursts.
Reinforced skull and horns release concentrated lightning bolts. Like all techno-organic Cybertonians, he heals faster
in robot form.
Weaknesses: Longhorn only has average speed and cannot fly. In beast mode he lacks ranged weapons.
High energon fields can adversely effect Longhorn if he stays in robot form for too long. His animal
form is protected from high energon levels.
