| The name or term "Strongarm" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Strongarm (disambiguation). |
Cadet Strongarm sees 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 with Bumblebee, hero of the war with the Decepticons, is a sure sign that she's destined to go places! Maybe even all the way to Earth!
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 with Sideswipe, a bot who breaks rules almost habitually and constantly thumbs his nose at authority. She's not terribly thrilled about working with convicted criminal Grimlock either, but at least he doesn't specifically try and pick fights with her like Sideswipe does.
Sometimes she works with the Mini-Cons Sawtooth or Trickout. She can also combine with either the legendary war hero Optimus Prime to form Primestrong, or with the rest of the Bee Team to form Ultra Bee.

Cadet Strongarm of the Cybertron Police Five Fugitives studied under Dropforge at the Kaon Police Academy; Get a Clue she was classmates and friends with Nightra before the latter's explusion for attempting to cheat on her exams. Guilty As Charged She was still a cadet when she was partnered with Bumblebee. She and her partner captured the criminal Sideswipe Pilot (Part 1) while patrolling Kaon City. Can You Dig It? Unfortunately for Bumblebee, she then insisted that regulations meant she had to accompany him on a trip to Earth after Optimus Prime appeared to him in a series of visions. There they found that the prison ship Alchemor had crashed, scattering Decepticon prisoners over the nearby area. Pilot (Part 1)
Adopting a local vehicular form, Strongarm joined the team in recapturing the escaped Decepticon Underbite before he could reach and devour nearby Crown City. The operation was a success, though she was unsure about the wisdom of allowing Sideswipe and Grimlock to remain on the team. Pilot (Part 2)
Strongarm and Sideswipe continued having trouble working together, inadvertently resulting in Strongarm's comms being damaged. When the pair went sent on a mission to investigate fugitive signals, they split up, and Strongarm was captured by Steeljaw, who tried to convince her that he intended to dwell peacefully on Earth. She was freed by Sideswipe and Russell, though Steeljaw got away. Trust Exercises Strongarm and the team managed to capture Bisk. They later encountered Chop Shop and were unprepared for the Decepticon's ability to split into component parts. When Strongarm attempted to tackle one of his components, it resulted in Chop Shop taking Fixit as a new right arm, however the team were eventually successful in rescuing the Mini-Con and capturing the Decepticon. More than Meets the Eye
Sideswipe and Strongarm continued to squabble β when they went to a museum, Strongarm alternated between doing so and towing Grimlock on a trailer. Splitting up, the team was unable to capture Terrashock until Bumblebee came up with a way to hunt the Decepticon on his own terms. W.W.O.D.? Strongarm searched the Alchemor crash site again but only turned up a Decepticon Hunter, which she was unable to get working despite Fixit's instructions. During the mission to protect the generator at the dam, she was forced to help Grimlock back to the scrapyard, and was unable to help hunt for Thunderhoof. As the Kospego Commands!
Feeling homesick, Strongarm began breaking out in hives, as well as relying more and more on the rulebook, which irritated Sideswipe as they searched for the Decepticon Filch. After some encouragement from Bumblebee, Strongarm broke several rules as they captured Filch, though she later wrote the others up anyway. Collect 'Em All When Grimlock turned on the other Autobots and stole Underbite's stasis pod, Strongarm's first instinct was that Grimlock had been pretending to be good all along. She, Bumblebee and Sideswipe tracked him to Crown River Dam, where they discovered that he had been under the control of Minitron. True Colors
After begging, Strongarm got her own solo mission, only to find that Bumblebee was following her. Despite several missteps, she managed to capture the Decepticon Springload with his help. Rumble in the Jungle Teamed with Bumblebee, Strongarm hunted Ped in subterranean tunnels, and was forced to help support part of Crown City when it was undermined by the Decepticon's digging. She later became trapped at the bottom of a pit during a later successful attempt to capture Ped. Can You Dig It? When Bumblebee was regressed to immaturity thanks to Quillfire's toxins, Strongarm saw the opportunity to test herself in a leadership role. After suffering a number of Bumblebee's pranks, she took Grimlock to go hunt Quillfire, only to have Bumblebee follow them. Following a jaunt on a carnival ride and Quillfire's incapacitation, Strongarm had Grimlock chain Bumblebee up until he recovered from the toxin. Adventures in Bumblebee-Sitting!
When Drift and Fracture came to Earth to collect the bounty on Bumblebee, Strongarm was captured by the Decepticon to use as a ransom along with the other Autobots. Hunting Season Strongarm and Sideswipe continued their bickering, even as the team hunted the Skunkticon gang led by Malodor, hampering efforts at several points during the chase. Out of Focus
After discovering that Strongarm had been sneaking off the base, Sideswipe blackmailed her into doing undesirable jobs for him. After they tangled with Steeljaw's gang, Bumblebee revealed he already knew about Strongarm sneaking out, and Strongarm revealed she had been using a nearby carwash. Sideways Strongarm joined Sideswipe, Russell, and Grimlock for a horror movie marathon; the three Autobots tried to scare Russell to no avail. Strongarm joined Bumblebee and the rest of the team for an excursion to a local cave network in pursuit of a Decepticon signal.

With Sideswipe's help, the other Autobots managed to incapacitate and recapture Vertebreak, and Strongarm challenged the repaired Sideswipe to a race home. Some Body, Any Body After Drift and Slipstream returned to Earth in pursuit of Jetstorm, Strongarm rolled out with the other Autobots to recapture Quillfire and Springload. One of Our Mini-Cons Is Missing After taking part in a training exercise against Sideswipe, Strongarm GroundBridged to the ocean, where the Decepticon Octopunch was planning to steal an abandoned Cybertronian ship. Strongarm was taken out of the fight by an army of deployable Mini-Cons and locked in an empty room, where she couldn't contact her teammates. She managed to break out and escape before the ship self-destructed. Deep Trouble
When the gladiator Groundpounder and his cheating manager Headlock debuted at the Crown City Rumbledome, 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. Strongarm arrived just in time to stasis cuff the fleeing Headlock. The Champ Fixit's sentry programming asserted itself, causing Strongarm to be menaced by the scrapyard's various security systems. The Trouble with Fixit Strongarm helped set up a new rollercoaster that Denny purchased, but headed out with the team to investigate a Decepticon signal. The signal belonged to Kickback, who had been set up by Steeljaw as a distraction while the rest of his gang broke into the Autobot base and deactivated the other stasis pods. The Autobots managed to take back their territory and rout the Decepticons, and Strongarm helped to recontain Octopunch's tentacles. Lockout
The Autobots set out to capture Scowl, whom Grimlock had inadvertently befriended and set free. Strongarm helped to reroute a train that Scowl had derailed, then ran damage control at a local spa while Grimlock tried to recapture the vengeful Decepticon. Similarly Different Strongarm realized that many of the Alchemor's convicts were based off Earth animals, and began researching the dangers of Earth creatures. She was less than impressed by the newcomer Windblade and was particularly irked by Windblade's cavalier attitude toward protocol. The disagreement boiled over when the Autobots set out in search of Zizza, 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" to Edmondville. Although the gang had fun scaring off a group of human tourists, things took a turn for the worse when they encountered Pseudo, who locked Strongarm and the Mini-Cons in an old bank vault. Strongarm escaped by blasting a hole in the wall and tracked Pseudo to a nearby mine. After a brief chase, the Autobots managed to subdue the Shifter. Ghosts and Impostors On 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 the Crown City Colossus while the Decepticons worked to summon Megatronus. Battlegrounds, Part 1 With 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
While listening to Optimus's old war stories, Strongarm got into yet another fight with Sideswipe. 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 1 After 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 capture Saberhorn. 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 Meltdown When she accidentally endangered some motorists during the pursuit of Crazybolt and Slicedice, Strongarm became demoralized and turned in her Decepticon Hunter. After an attempt to get her to help Fixit backfired badly, she resigned herself to rusting in the corner, however a fire started by Crazybolt endangered some humans, and Bumblebee was able to spur her into returning to the field to save them. Suspended
Bumblebee, Strongarm, and Grimlock captured the Mini-Con Torpor, though the mission was nearly botched when Grimlock stumbled in on the other two Autobots as they strategised, tipping their target off to their whereabouts. When Grimlock gained increased brainpower fom a Cybertronian data cylinder, Strongarm and Bumblebee took him along on an attempt to capture Simacore. Though during the operation, she and Bumblebee were trapped against a particle accelerator and in danger of being particle collided, Fixit came up with a cure for Grimlock, and the Dinobot rescued them both. Brainpower
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 of Scorponok, 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 a Rear Axle concert 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 Off The Autobots tracked down the Decepticon Silverhound to 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, Back and Forth. Impounded
After an incident with the GroundBridge brought Soundwave to Earth, Strongarm and Grimlock were knocked out by the Decepticon. They recovered, only to be warped away from the junkyard alongside Laserbeak by a portal created by Soundwave. Working together, Strongarm and Grimlock were able to shut down Laserbeak, then rushed back to the rest of the team. They arrived just as Denny, Fixit, Russel, and Bumblebee managed to get Soundwave back into the shadowzone, and threw the Decepticon Mini-Con back into the other dimension after its master. Portals Strongarm was on a mission in an area that interfered with Fixit's communication equipment when Optimus Prime needed assistance defeating Stockade's troops. Graduation Exercises
After a chance encounter resulted in Ratchet joining 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 crashed Alchemor, 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 the cryo-gas set 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 the High Council for being a supporter of Optimus Prime. Enemy of My Enemy
Bumblebee took his team on a tour of interesting locations on Earth, culminating in them visiting the remains of Autobot Outpost Omega One, only to find a strange bomb had been set up to detonate. Strongarm was paired with Grimlock when the team split up to search, only to have to leave him to go find Bumblebee after he stepped on a mine. 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
After a training exercise went awry, Strongarm was surprised to find she had the lowest of the PASERQuAT scores Fixit had prepared. She insisted on taking him on her next mission to improve her score, and as a result he accompanied her to Mount St. Hilary, where the pair found Scatterspike and Sawtooth engaged in a drilling operation that threatened to cause the volcano to erupt. After capturing Scatterspike in a fight that spilled out into a nearby human settlement, Strongarm successfully prevented the volcano from exploding, and Fixit raised her score by a point and a half. In return, she prepared a score for him, but wouldn't tell him what it was. Strongarm's Big Score
Drift and Strongarm checked out the Great Wall of China as the searching of Cybertronian sites continued.

Mini-Con Madness The Scavengers defeated, Strongarm and the rest of the team located Starscream's ship, and during the ensuing battle with the Decepticons, they were knocked out by Starscream. They eventually managed to defeat Starscream, despite him successfully merging with the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, by dragging him down into range of Fixit's signal so he could be de-merged. After farewelling Optimus and the Mini-Cons, Team Bee split up to search more Cybertronian sites. Worthy
After a period of downtime, Strongarm and Sideswipe were sent to investigate a Decepticon signal. After attempting to capture Heatseeker themselves, Strongarm opted to call in the rest of the team when the Stunticon endangered a nuclear waste disposal site. King of the Hill (Part 1) The pair were assigned the task of getting a hermit to vacate the danger zone, which they accomplished before rejoining the rest of the team. An explosion resulted in the entire team being merged into one robot while unconscious and ultimately Heatseeker got away. King of the Hill (Part 2)
The Autobots' next mission took them to Antarctica, where they had to recapture Crustacion after the Decepticon was freed from one of Windblade's caches. Strongarm and Sideswipe worked to rescue the humans at a base while the rest of the team caught the Con.

Disordered Personalities
When Nightra turned up, Strongarm bought her story about being a bounty hunter on the run from a Con she'd previously caught, and when the Con in question abducted Nightra, Strongarm brought the rest of the Bee Team to rescue her.

They tracked the Decepticon culprits to the Crown River Dam and discovered Steeljaw and his pack were back to make problems for them. Exiles When Sideswipe left the cave despite Bumblebee's orders to stay put, Strongarm gave chase and the pair were trapped in a cargo container together by Clampdown. They eventually managed to get free and help Bumblebee, whom the 'Cons had also captured, get some payback on their captors. Breathing Room
The team tangled with the Decepticons again, this time interrupting them while they were trying to steal nuclear waste. Prepare for Departure Strongarm found herself having trouble reconciling adhering to the Kaon Conventions with the need to capture Steeljaw's pack, and ended up hauling Clampdown around handcuffed to herself. In the end, they captured most of the pack. Prisoner Principles The team was joined by Optimus Prime as they defeated Soundwave and prevented the Decepticon from irradiating the entire planet. Collateral Damage
