'''Skullcruncher''' is both slow on his feet and slow witted. He has a nasty habit of grinding his teeth before attacking his foes, making a noise so loud and obnoxious it tips the [[Autobot|enemy]] off to his whereabouts instantly. Because of this personality defect, few Decepticons wish to be partnered with him.

What Skullcruncher '''does''' do efficiently is eat. While he thinks they taste rather yucky, Skullcruncher will gleefully scarf down as many Autobots as he can during battle, often ceasing to fight until he's finished chewing his meal. He wouldn't want to choke or anything.

Skullcruncher is [[Binary bonding|binary bonded]] to the [[Nebulos|Nebulan]] [[Grax]].

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{noteukonly}}
Skullcruncher was one of [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s soldiers on Cybertron. He was first seen eagerly driving a group of Autobot prisoners towards the [[smelting pool]]. [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and his band of interlopers jumped them, however, and the Decepticons were forced to retreat. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}} After Maximus's unit abandoned Cybertron, Scorponok received word they had come to the planet called [[Nebulos]], and brought a strike team to that world in order to exact revenge. Skullcruncher joined his leader in assaulting the planet's capitol, [[Koraja]], and demonstrated a little-seen [[Fire-breath|fire-breathing]] ability as the Decepticons tried to penetrate the city's walls. Later he transformed to robot mode and issued the Decepticon rallying cry.

{{bigquote|Let's stomp these creatures til we're knee-deep in pink slime!}}

[[Image:Skullcruncher-LoveandSteel.jpg|right|thumb|400px|The Crocodile Punter.]]

The Decepticons' forward momentum was halted, however, by the arrival of the new Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. Fortress Maximus and several of his crew members had [[Binary bond|binary bonded]] with their Nebulan allies, creating two-in-one warriors. The increased skill and accuracy gained from this combination sent Skullcruncher and the other Decepticons fleeing into the night. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}} In the remote plains of [[Thok]], Scorponok's Decepticons made camp at the industrial complex whose [[hyper-galactic transceiver]] had first alerted them to the Autobots' presence. Forced to admit the value of the Headmaster process, Scorponok allowed himself, Skullcruncher, and several other Decepticons to undergo the process, binary bonding with [[Zarak (Nebulan)|Lord Zarak]]—political rival of Fortress Maximus's Nebulan partner—and his entourage. Skullcruncher was binary bonded with [[Grax]], the industrialist who owned the communications complex, and had modified it to accomodate the hyper-galactic transmitter. Joining with such a refined businessman did little to boost Skullcruncher's fighting style at first, as Fortress Maximus still managed to fight off both him and [[Weirdwolf]] at once, and then used Skullcruncher as a club to knock Scorponok around. Only by threatening civilian hostages were Scorponok and his men able to get the drop on the Autobots. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}} ''Skullcruncher and the Decepticon Headmasters had another brief battle with their counterparts {{storylink|Worlds Apart!}} but, ''as the war continued to escalate on Nebulos, both sides decided to quit the planet and moved on to planet Earth after receiving a distress signal. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

[[Image:Weirdwolftrialbyfire.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Grrr! Begin your sentences with animal sounds so they know that you're bestial!]]

Once they arrived on Earth, the Decepticons raced the Autobots to [[Mount St. Hilary]], former landing site of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and location of the distress signal. The two Headmaster teams did battle in the volcano caverns. Skullcruncher was heard mocking Weirdwolf's bizarre Yoda-esque speech pattern during the fight, but to be fair he also demonstrated an odd quirk of "grrr"ing before each sentence. Do alligators growl? {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}}

''After the Autobot named [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] got the drop on Scorponok and stole his head, leaving the Decepticon leader incapacitated, Skullcruncher and his comrades hunted down Highbrow until he reached an Autobot shuttle parked in nearby canyons. They recovered the stunned Lord Zarak and reconnected him with Scorponok, restoring their leader. Moments after they did so, however, Skullcruncher and five of his teammates were shunted into [[Limbo]] thanks to the time-traveling arrival of [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] from 2009. They remained out of action until the war with [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] ended, and the time storm was abated. {{storylink|Time Wars}}''

[[Image:Predacons-ColdWar.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Decepticons that transform into animals? This is ridiculous!]]

When Scorponok's army made first contact with [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and the other Decepticons active on Earth, Skullcruncher and the Headmasters went with their leader as his entourage. A breakdown in negotiations led to combat, as Skullcruncher and the group began fighting with the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]], and later Ratbat's entire base. {{storylink|Cold War!}} The Decepticons stopped their civil war and teamed up with the Autobots when it was discovered that Starscream had orchestrated the whole affair to distract from his pursuit of the legendary Transformers knowledge database, the [[Underbase]]. In the wake of this event, Scorponok assumed command of all Decepticons and, with Skullcruncher's help, placed a new headquarters, including an Energon convertor, under a swamp near [[New York City]]. {{storylink|King Con!}} Sometime later, Skullcruncher responded with a team of Decepticons to MacDill Airforce Base when the [[Air Strike Patrol]] got into trouble with the Autobots. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}} The whole event was orchestrated from afar by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] to eliminate [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and his rivals in the Decepticons. Skullcruncher didn't know any of this, but that didn't keep him from getting beaten up a lot, first by Optimus Prime {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}} and later by a reconstructed version of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

Skullcruncher remained a part of the Decepticons throughout the next few months. He was seen running in panic with many other Autobots and Decepticons at the sight on [[Unicron]] on Cybertron. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} Later, he was on the planet [[Klo]] when Optimus Prime first arrived with the [[Last Autobot]] to rescue the besieged Autobot forces. {{storylink|End of the Road!

Skullcruncher was one of the many new Decepticons from around the universe gathered by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] to go after the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] in 2007. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} He later accompanied [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] to the planet Nebulos (Nebulon? Whatever). His honored leaders then volunteered him to have his head ripped off and stuffed with [[Grax|organic material]]. Remarkably, this somehow ''increased'' his combat skills. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

Skullcruncher was part of the [[Nebulos]] infiltration unit, working for [[Darkwing]] and [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] when [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] attacked the planet. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2}} Skullcruncher was less than enthused with the idea of attacking the giant Pretender, but Darkwing insisted they make a showing of protecting their investment in order to avoid Megatron's wrath. Skullcruncher rolled out with [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]], [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]] and [[Roadgrabber]], but was apparently destroyed by an energy blast from Thunderwing. Darkwing and Dreadwind fled Nebulos shortly thereafter. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 3}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Skullcruncher''' (Headmaster, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-58'''
**''Accessories:'' Grax Headmaster unit, [[Demolecularization gun]] and sword/tail

: Skullcruncher transforms into a green and pink robotic crocodile, at least according to his packaging; his head implies he's actually an aligator. Skullcruncher includes one of the most bizarre alt-mode cockpits among the Headmasters for his partner Grax, a small molded seat at the back of his alt-mode mouth below the large canopy that serves as this mode's eyes, his entire upper jaw serving as the hatch to access it. The sword/tail's shape actualy makes it look more like a short club.

==Trivia==
[[Image:G1SkullcruncherOriginalHead.jpg|right|180px|thumb|]]
* In the television [[commercial]] for [[Marvel Comics]]' ''[[Headmasters (comic)|Headmasters]]'' limited series, the Autobot and Decepticon Headmasters are shown having different head designs than the ones their Nebulan partners would later turn into. These designs were seemingly never used in any other piece of ''Transformers'' media. The [[Character model|models]] for most of them, however, turned up in the excellent ''[[Transformers Generations]]'' guidebook.
* Skullcruncher did not transform into an alligator mode in his IDW appearance, but rather a wheeled tank. Also, he probably had not binary bonded with anyone.

[[Image:Pounce-G1-Boxart.jpg|right|275px|thumb|At your Lincoln-Mercury dealer!]]
'''Pounce''' is the Decepticon equivalent of [[Repugnus (G1)|Repugnus]] (though the difference between the two is fairly microscopic). He does the dirty jobs that even the other Decepticons find repugnant. And as far as he's concerned, the dirtier the better. Anti-social, vicious, nasty, wily, silent, deadly and merciless are all appropriate descriptors for Pounce. What few realize is that much of Pounce's success at his job stems from the carefully cultivated reputation he's created for himself.

Pounce is the clone brother of [[Wingspan]].

Pounce and Wingspan snuck into Autobot City to retrieve the Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber. [[Punch (G1)|Counterpunch]] tried to warn them that his Autobot counterpart was not only nearby, but REAL nearby, but they didn't listen. Despite showing an obliviousness usually reserved for Lois Lane, the Clones beat Punch when he showed up and returned the Key to [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] so that his unit could infiltrate the Plasma Energy Chamber itself. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

One might quickly dismiss '''Wingspan''' as the weaker of the two Clone brothers, and at first glance that may seem true. After all, [[Pounce]] is an elite counter-intelligence agent feared by comrade and foe alike, whereas Wingspan is a rather lowly data processor. In truth, though, Wingspan is just as ruthless and driven as his brother, but merely focuses his efforts on a single goal: knowledge. Wingspan doesn't care if he's surfing the cortex or tearing open an Autobot's chest to stimulate his victim's vocal processor manually, so long as he gets some new information out of it.

'''Jackknife''' is a member of the [[Aerial Extermination Mini-Con Team]], and a personal attendant to [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]]. Like an inordinately vicious magpie, he'll swipe anything that catches his eye, and he doesn't care if he has to beat the owner to an [[Energon (fuel)|Energon]]-spewing pulp to get it. This puts him at odds with the stealthy [[Maverick]], but Jackknife either doesn't notice or ''care'' how his teammate feels, so long as he gets his swag. <ref>[http://www.transformersclub.com/ Official Transformers Collectors' Club site] members' section, Micro-Sized Online!

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MM-17'''

: Jackknife/Jack is a [[redeco]] of the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]] member [[Runway]], transforming into a Boeing Sonic Cruiser concept jet plane. He also forms the tip to the [[Vorpal Saber]] sword, which can be held by any other Transformer that has 5mm fist-holes. This toy is largely identical to the [[Hasbro]] "Air Assault" version of Runway, but uses transparent plastic with a hint of purple instead of the Hasbro version's opaque off-white. He came with his partners [[Maverick]] and [[Skull Buster]].

: This mold was also [[Retool|retooled]] to make ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Wreckage (Energon)|Wreckage]], [[Beacon]], and ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Sunstorm (Mini-Con)|Sunstorm]].

*'''Rampage & Hawk w/ Air Assault Micron''' (Multi-pack, 2003)

'''Wreckage''' is a powerful Mini-Con who combines with his teammates to form an even more powerful weapon: the legendary [[Energon Saber]]. He and his teammates spent years embedded in [[Energon (Energon)|energon]] deposits which apparently gifted them with the ability to form a blade composed primarily of the powerful element. Like his teammates, he considers being an individual important but has a high regard for teamwork as well. Some believe this team may hold the key to the ultimate defeat of [[Unicron]].
