Strongarm was working alongside Skyblast in the mines below Ocean City on Earth when he struck a huge deposit of energon, to the excitement of the Autobots and their human allies. Soon afterwards, Strongarm and Skyblast units on asteroid mines in Earth's solar system were under siege by mysterious beast form Transformers, despite Tidal Wave's best efforts to defend the mines. During the subsequent attack on Ocean City, Strongarm and Skyblast ignored the destruction occurring outside their lab so they could single-mindedly focus on the refining the energon they had discovered earlier.

[edit] Energon
- Strongarm (Omnicon, 2004)
- Japanese ID number: SC-06
- Accessories: Crane boom/rifle, spare tire halves, Autobot-type energon star
- Part of the first wave of toys released in the Energon series, Strongarm transforms into a Cybertronic off-road jeep. He has a clear-plastic "energon" crane-boom/rifle and spare tire which can combine to form his Energy Axe. The Japanese Super Link release of Strongarm uses slightly different colors and a slightly-different head mold. Early official product photography (including this picture) showed the toy with a "blob" logo, with all the areas of the Autobot face painted red. All Strongarms released to retail had the eyes, face, and other areas appropriately masked out.
- This mold was used to make Fallback, the live-action movie incarnation of Strongarm, and Crosshairs.
- The energon axe mold was separated and used for multiple Takara promotional energon weapons during Super Link, as well as being released in reddish-orange with the Japanese "Wild" redeco of Energon Ironhide.
- Energon Strongarm (Omnicon, 2004)
- Accessories: Crane boom/rifle, spare tire halves, Autobot-type energon star
- The new head-mold version was used for the Hasbro Energon Strongarm redeco that appeared in the second half of the Energon line, which was made available in Japan as a "USA Edition" exclusive from stores that had purchased a "TF Station" affiliation from Takara.
- The Hasbro stock photo of this toy shows his windshield assembled differently from the original release. The actual released version of the toy retains the original's assembly. Funky.
[edit] Universe (2003)
- Omnicon Strong Arm (Basic, 2005)
- Accessories: Crane boom/rifle, spare tire halves, Autobot-type energon star
- The "Energon" redeco of Strongarm was repackaged on a Universe-themed card and sold through discount chains in the US like Big Lots!. The toy has no notable differences from the Energon release. His name was parsed as "Strong Arm" on the packaging, as opposed to the other releases' "Strongarm".

- Part of the planned second assortment of Attacktix Boosters, this "Super Rare" piece uses a horizontal axe-swing to attack.
