'''Crush-Bull''' (クラッシュブル ''Kurasshu Buru'') is the leader of the [[Sixbuilder|Build Team]]. He's strong and deeply committed to following routine when on the job. Combine this with his deep-rooted emotional side, and he can be tricked a little too easily.

He also has an [[Bonecrusher (Micromaster)|evil counterpart]] running around.

===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''Micromaster''====
[[Image:Sixbuilders.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]
Crush-Bull was one of several [[Cyberdroid]]s in stasis at the Autobot Micromasters' [[Earth]] base. During a particularly pitched battle with the [[Decepticon]] [[Sixwing]] in Berserker Mode, the capsules containing the Build Team took a shock, activating them. A little while later, Micromasters resembling the Build Team were spotted wrecking [[human]] construction sites. The Build Team soon confronted them in [[Sixbuilder]] mode... only for the impostors to do the same! The green [[Decepticon Sixbuilder]] announced that the two teams were actually halves of the original whole, and that he would rejoin with Sixbuilder only after all the other Autobots had been destroyed. {{storylink|Sixbuilder the Ill-Fated Warrior!?}}

Later, after [[Sixtrain]] beat back the Decepticons at an excavation site by [[Mount St. Hilary|a dormant volcano]], the Build Team began their own investigation, wondering what the Decepticons were digging up. When [[Raise]] discovered two pieces of metal, one of which bore a [[Predacon (BW)|strange purple insignia]], Crush-Bull's quick analysis revealed that both were Cybertronian in origin. Realizing something incredibly important was buried there, but not sure what, the Autobots begin to defend the site from Decepticon attacks. {{storylink|Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!}}

The Autobots established a new headquarters, [[Metrobase]], at the foot of Mount St. Hillary to protect the ruins from Decepticon attacks. During another excavation of the site, [[Joe (G1)|Joe]], Crush-Bull, and [[Converter]] unearthed a strange pod from the ruins, which emitted a mysterious radiation that tore open a rift in space and time. The radiation knocked the Micromasters offline, so they didn't see the [[Multiforce|six shapes]] which emerged through the tear... {{storylink|The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!}}

====''Operation Combination''====
Years later, Crush-Bull and the rest of the Six-team Micromasters joined [[Guard City]] and the [[Road Corps]] in defending Earth from the forces of the Decepticon High Regent [[Scrash (G1)|Scrash]]. {{storylink|Fight!

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
Crush Bull and her teammate [[Gran Arm]] were lost after the deaths of their Micromaster squadmates. They found sanctuary with [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]], a minister at the [[First Church of Primus]] in [[Dodecahex]]. For years, they served as his attendants and became as close as family. When the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]] came to Dodecahex, the Micromasters got the congregation to safety while Sunstorm sacrificed himself to cover their escape. {{Storylink|Derailment}}

:*''ID number:'' '''TF-01'''

: Released in the eighth and final year of the original Takara ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' line under the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1992 (Operation Combination)|Operation Combination]]'' banner, Crush-Bull transforms into a bulldozer of indeterminate model. He can also form the chest or back of any of the similar-build Six-Teams ([[Sixturbo#Toys|Sixturbo]] and [[Sixwing#Toys|Sixwing]]), though his nominal placement is as [[Sixbuilder#Toys|Sixbulder]]'s back.

: He was only available as part of a complete Sixbuilder gift set, packed with his teammates [[Digger#Toys|Digger]], [[Gran Arm#Toys|Gran Arm]], [[Iron Lift#Toys|Iron Lift]], [[Mixing#Toys|Mixing]], and [[Treader#Toys|Treader]].

: The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find, due to their final-year release well after ''Transformers'' had faded from relevance in Japan, and thus command some hefty prices even with the molds' later re-releases.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Micromaster [[Bonecrusher (Universe Micromaster)|Bonecrusher]] and the [[Bonecrusher (Micromaster)|evil half of Crush-Bull]].

: In 2003, the entire Sixbuilder team was re-released as the fourth wave of ''[[The Transformers: Micromaster]]'', in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, the team was extensively [[redeco]]ed; Crush-Bull went from light green to a deep aqua-green. Instead of stickers, he was instead covered with a whole new set of [[Paint operation|paint applications]].

: On top of this, two out of every twelve toys in the shipping/display case were in mostly-bright-green decos, as part of the [[Decepticon Sixbuilder#Toys|Destron Sixbuilder]] [[chase figure]]. The [[Bonecrusher (Micromaster)|evil half of Crush-Bull]] came in the same box and with the same packaging as the normal version.

==Notes==
* Crush-Bull's name could also be [[Japanese language|romanized]] as "Crash-Bull".
* Crush-Bull, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual [[bio]] information whatsoever until his ''Micromaster'' release a decade after his original ''Operation Combination'' release.
* According to Hasbro designer [[Joe Kyde]]'s [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=News/Item&amp;newsID=5716B133-D56F-E112-46403859800D7A16 design notes on Hasbro's Transformers website], the original Crush-Bull was the inspiration for the [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] [[live-action film series|movie-verse]] Transformer [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]].
