Cap'n Long Leggy is one of the Road Rumblers.
History[]
Cap'n Long Leggy was once a peaceful ice cream truck who went on a trip to the desert with some other campers. Over time, their relationships deteriorated, and their travel destination became akin to a apocalyptic wasteland. Cap'n Long Leggy was modified to have the chassis and wheels of monster truck, alongside a multitude of spikes. When Lightning McQueen and Mater entered the Road Rumblers' territory, Long Leggy and several other cars caught them, and presented them to The Chieftess. Long Leggy pushed Lightning and Mater into a battle in the Thundercone to decide who should join their ranks, however the fight was cut short when Long Leggy and the other Rumblers left.
Cap'n Long Leggy took part in a battle between the road rumblers and a faction of electric cars. With the Chieftess's permission, he sounded his horns to get the Road Rumblers to charge at their opposition and start the battle. Although Lightning McQueen tried to convince the rumblers and electric cars to stop fighting, the battle continued, and Long Leggy lost his balance and toppled over. Inspired by the words of Lightning, Long Leggy and the other rumblers stopped their fight and befriended the electric cars. The two groups joined lightning, Mater, and Jeremy for a drink at the gas station. Long Leggy was seen on his way to the gas station joking with an electric car and playfully bumping them on the side with his wheel.
