Fiction

[edit]

Animated cartoon continuity

[edit]

Crasher was an "oddly-misplaced Cybertronian". The seismic energy dischargers built into Blackout's feet were reverse-engineered from Crasher. Blackout's profile in The Complete AllSpark Almanac

Brain Problem Situation

[edit]

In Gargent 087.0 Kappa, Crasher was one of Cy-Kill's elite lieutenants. When six strange visitors were detected fighting Guardians, Cy-Kill, assuming the Guardians' enemies to be allies of his, dispatched Cop-Tur, Crasher, Fitor, Tank, and Geeper-Creeper to assist the strangers. The Renegades drove off the Guardians and brought the Autobots back to the Rogue Star, but the Autobots turned on the Renegades after discovering the Renegades' malicious nature.

Ask Vector Prime

[edit]

Multiversal observer Vector Prime believed that the existence of the Decepticon Fracture across multiple Tyran realities was the result of (a) Gargent Crasher dimension-hopping to Tyran and subsequently being duplicated across the cluster. Ask Vector Prime, 17 June 2015

Echoes and Fragments

[edit]
That's me in the corner
That's me behind - a - leg
Used for reformatting

Gong and Sideways combined two universes, creating a world where the Renegades were at war with the heroic Autobots. Under Cy-Kill's command, Crasher and several other Renegades stormed an Autobot shuttle and Crasher took an injured Ironhide prisoner. Reality changed again–in this new timeline, she served under Megatron. In the ensuing battle for Guardian City, she was one of the many Decepticons and Renegades fatally wounded in the fight, and became one of the many casualties jettisoned off Astrotrain. When Megatron bargained with Unicron, he reformatted her into Fracture. Echoes and Fragments

Renegade Rhetoric

[edit]

Crasher was one of Cy-Kill's most loyal lieutenants, and participated in nearly every one of his schemes. Notably, she refused to play Ruth in the Pirates of Penzance play, raced in the Alienapolis Five Million, Renegade Rhetoric (1), 15 October 2015 flirted with the amnesiac Leader-1, and found herself in a future where the Renegades had seemingly made peace with the Guardians. Renegade Rhetoric (2)

Later, she and Cop-Tur hacked a broadcast of Ask Vector Prime to broadcast information about the Convoy to Axiom Nexus. Ask Vector Prime, 16 January 2016

Go-Bots comic

[edit]

Crasher was one of several Go-Bots to go rogue and evade deactivation. She lived as an outlaw near Route 66, where she linked up with other rogues to form the Renegades. Crasher personally led a raid on a filling station, where she traumatized and injured an attendant. Later, she and the rest of Cy-Kill's Renegades subdued Leader-1 so Tank could access his military knowledge; afterwards, full-scale rebellion against humanity occurred. Go-Bots #1 With Cop-Tur, she captured the human loyalist Scooter, forcing him to lick her tire treads clean or be handed over to Psycho. Go-Bots #2

Over the years of Go-Bot war that followed, Crasher developed a love/hate rivalry with Turbo until the latter left Leader-1's service. The Renegade also developed into a key lieutenant to Cy-Kill and gave herself a darker color scheme. Crasher exchanged barbs with Turbo when the opposing factions faced off on Gobotron's organic core—in fact the abandoned and devolved Earth. While Leader-1, Turbo and their allies were busy fighting Zod, Cy-Kill and the Renegades took over the Command Center, capturing Scooter. Go-Bots #4

This resulted in Turbo mounting a rescue that saw the Go-Bot take out several Renegades in a brutal fashion, with Crasher opting to take cover instead of fighting. Disgusted with Cy-Kill's cruelty to captured humans, Turbo killed him and rescued Scooter. Crasher initially activated the Command Center's defenses to kill them before Turbo was finally able to persuade her to let the Go-Bots' war die with Leader-1 and Cy-Kill. The pair ended their rivalry and shook hands before returning to the surface of Gobotron together in the Command Center. Once there, they were saved by Road Ranger from Braxis's Vamps. As Road Ranger took charge of the remaining Go-Bots to lead them towards a new future, Crasher remarked on the irony of a new generation taking over just as they were making progress. Go-Bots #5

End of G1 Universe

[edit]

Crasher was a rumored visitor from the Multiverse TL EX-10 Crasher bio who likely went through the Multiverse Space Bridge to another world's Velocitron. There, she acted as a race queen for Speedia 500 races. Mystery of the Speedia 500

She had an unexplained feud with Shadowstrip TL EX-10 Crasher bio and took part in a race of the Speedia 500 to determine the leader of Velocitron. Crasher attempted to use her earthquake abilities to create a chasm that the other racers couldn't cross, but this plan didn't take into account fliers like Galaxy Shuttle, who went on to win the race.

Toys

[edit]

Transformers (2007)

[edit]
This mold makes for an astonishingly good fembot.
  • Decepticon Fracture (Deluxe Class, 2008)
  • Accessories: "Negative-energy blaster"
  • Known designers: Joe Kyde (deco artist){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
The 2007 movie Fracture toy was repurposed as the "Cataclysm" incarnation of Crasher.
A Walmart exclusive redeco of Classics Mirage, Transformers Fracture transforms into a closed-canopy Formula racer concept car. The front aerofoil detaches to become a (non-firing) handheld weapon. The original light-piping features of the mold have been disabled by the paint applications on the figure's eyes.
She is extensively painted to resemble the GoBots character Crasher, right down to the pink face and black "domino mask" she sported in the GoBots cartoon. The tampographed Decepticon insignia on the figure features the original design, rather than the slightly streamlined look of the movie faction insignia, owing to the original intent to have her be a Classics version of Crasher. Her car's deco is inspired by the real world [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Midland M16|{{#if:||Midland M16}}]].<ref>"DECEPTICON FRACTURE was inspired by the female Gobot Crasher, but the name was changed to DECEPTICON FRACTURE when Crasher was unavailable for use. This deco scheme was one of several ideas for the Classic Series MIRAGE mold, and emerged as the most popular with the team. Her vehicle mode deco is based on a real Russian F1 race car color scheme."—Hasbro.com (Archive), "News from BotCon: New Wal-Mart Exclusive Movie Deluxe Figures", 2008/04/28</ref>
This toy also doubles as "Generation 1" Crasher in My Little Pony/Transformers: Friendship in Disguise! issue #4. This mold was also used to make the 2008 Universe version of Drag Strip.
Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be warned, there is a very convincing-looking knockoff that's been making the rounds since at least 2010.

Legacy

[edit]
This is illegal, you know.
  • Decepticon Crasher (Deluxe Class, 2022)
  • TakaraTomy ID number: TL EX-10
  • TakaraTomy release date: November ??, 2023
  • Accessories: Cannon, shoulder-mounted launcher, missile
  • Known designers: Sam Smith (Hasbro){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection "Decepticon Crasher" is a redeco of the Kingdom version of Mirage, transforming into a generic "Formula 1" style race car. While her body is the Kingdom Mirage, she uses the original-toy-inspired head of the Siege Holo Mirage toy. Similarly, her deco hybridizes elements of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon model for Crasher and the 2008 Fracture figure (above). She retains the same accessories.
In both modes, she has a number of 5 mm post-holes and 3 mm pegs for use with the "C.O.M.B.A.T. System" for attaching accessories and blast effects.
Notably, despite originating as a GoBots character, the character doesn't display "GoBots Universe" terminology on the packaging, likely due to the weird ownership situation regarding the franchise. Instead, the product description refers to Crasher as having a "G2-inspired design" and that the toy is "inspired by the character's appearance in the Transformers comics."
The Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection was exclusive to Walmart in the US, (albeit in very limited quantities, so good luck) with Hasbro Pulse receiving limited quantities of the figure. Later in 2023, American collectors were likely to see her in the biggest quantities in Ross stores. The series was a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive in Japan, and a K-Mart store exclusive in New Zealand.

By popular demand, the Legacy Crasher figure above was later reissued at standard retail as part of the second wave of Age of the Primes Deluxe Class figures, notably two waves and over half a year after the final wave of Legacy reissued a number of other hard-to-get figures. Outside of the new packaging, which notably uses new art of Crasher and her alt-mode to better fit in with the line's packaging design, this release remains unchanged from the original.
