She says it's not kosher!

The Junkion known as Crashbar may not be as big as his fellow Junkion bikes, but he can prove to be a big challenge to any Decepticon who comes across him. He's also particularly fast... to a fault, considering he'll often crash into lots of things in his path. Thankfully, being a Junkion, damage is temporary to him.<ref>Hasbro Pulse official description</ref>

Crashbar carries two gravity cannons, but also can use his exhaust pipes as clubs or his rear wheel as a sawblade when he'd rather get his hands dirty.

  • Crashbar (Deluxe Class, 2023)
Part of the second wave of Deluxes in Legacy: Evolution, Crashbar transforms into a motorcycle. His Evo-Fusion function is analogous to the Weaponizer gimmick from the War for Cybertron Trilogy toylines; his body splits apart to form armor and weapon enhancements for his allies. Unlike previous figures of this nature however, Crashbar does not transform via partsforming. When transforming into motorcycle mode, the arms need to snap into the clips in the middle of his shoulders, but don't always do so; it's best to do them one at a time and push down from the front of the arm rather than trying to squeeze them from the sides. Due to the asymmetrical nature of his transformation impacting his right-ankle articulation, he often can't help but stand lop-sided.
Crashbar comes with four different accessories, which can all be integrated into his motorcycle mode. Shown on package but not in his instructions, the rear wheel of his motorcycle mode can be detached and saw blades extended out of it for use as a shield/melee weapon. In an undocumented feature, his tailpipes can be plugged into the small slots on his shoulders by the tabs used to hold them in place in vehicle mode.
The instructions show the head being removed as part of his Evo-Fusion, even though it's on a ball joint, and thus hard to remove and replace, and can't be used for anything anyway. Just fold it away.
His instructions and packaging call out a combined mode using parts from Legacy: Evolution Scraphook, replacing the driver's side hood and rear with the front and back wheels of Crashbar. Alternately, Crashbar has specific tab-recesses on his left side that allows Scraphook's left-front portion to be attached as a sidecar. Axlegrease includes instruction for connecting her front end to the sides of Crashbar in vehicle mode as well. There are tabs on one side and slots on the other of both legs to allow multiple copies of his to connect side by side, which makes them more secure as the front and back end of other Junkion vehicles when paired.
Crashbar was later retooled with a new head into Legacy: United Road Pig.
