'''Rabbicrater''' commands [[Zone City]]'s lunar base, also serving as the Rocket Base's pilot.  Rabbicrater often acts as the voice of reason (or caution, or sanity) when his commander [[Moon Radar]] goes rushing headlong into battle- with limited success. You might think this would make him a stick-in-the-mud like [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], but he and Moonradar enjoy a playful, competitive friendship.

==Fiction==
===Zone OVA, manga and story pages===

Rabbicrater ran into Moon Radar on the highway while his commander was shuttling the refugee [[Cain]] around Zone and engaged in some friendly road-jockeying with him.

When the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] attacked Zone, Rabbicrater lamented that the [[Powered Master|Powered Masters]] weren't back from searching for [[Victory Saber]] yet. Moon Radar ignored him and went about mounting a defense.

When the Demon Generals departed with Zone's store of [[Energon Z]], Rabbicrater piloted Rocket Base, ferrying Moon Radar's crack strike force (and Cain) to Earth. He reminded Moon Radar that they needed to find out ''what'' the Decepticons wanted the Energon Z for. Moon Radar ignored him and went about mounting an offense.

During the battle with the Generals, Rabbicrater stayed with Cain and their new human friend [[Akira Serikawa|Akira]] to chaperone them. Cain ignored him and went about mounting Akira.  {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}} {{storylink|Zone (manga)|Transformers: Zone}}

Later, [[Metrotitan]] and the [[Metrosquad were sent forth to destroy the Lunar Zone Base commanded by Rabbicrater. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|Zone Part 7}} Metrotitan attacks without mercy, destroying [[Galaxy Shuttle]].  Rabbicrater scoops up Cain, Akira and [[Emusa]] in his vehicle mode and shuttles them to safety while [[Sonic Bomber]] deals with the Metrosquad.  Eventually, [[Dai Atlas]] shows up to battle Metrotitan. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|Zone Part 8}}

Metrotitan uses his Freeze Beam Gun to first freeze Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber in their tracks, and then upon the Lunar Zone Base, freezing Rabbicrater and everyone else.  All hope seemed lost until [[Road Fire]] arrived and defeated Metrotitan, unfreezing Rabbicrater and the other Autobots. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|Zone Part 9}}
