Demolecularization gun
Whenever Skullcruncher isn't stuffing his face with hapless Autobots, he's zapping them with his demolecularization gun (or "softening-up" gun as he calls it, since "demolecularization" is waaay too big a word for him). One shot from this gun makes even the toughest of Autobot hides as soft as rubber, making them easier for him to scarf down. All he has to do is to remember to chew.
Fiction

[edit]In robot mode, Skullcruncher carried a tissue demolecularization gun that gave an opponent's metal skin the consistency of rubber, which made it easier to chew when he transformed to alligator mode. Skullcruncher's Universe profile
Dreamwave Generation One continuity
[edit]In robot mode Skullcruncher wielded a serrated sword and a tissue demolecularization gun that made metal surfaces soft and weak. He preferred to eat his Autobot victims after shooting them with this gun, as it made them easier to digest. Skullcruncher's More than Meets the Eye profile
