	: Part of the second wave of Deluxes in ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy: Evolution]]'', Crashbar transforms into a motorcycle. His [[Evo-Fusion]] function is analogous to the Weaponizer gimmick from the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)\|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 ~~motocycle~~ 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.		: Part of the second wave of Deluxes in ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy: Evolution]]'', Crashbar transforms into a motorcycle.

	: 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.		: Crashbar comes with four different accessories, which can all be integrated into his motorcycle 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#Toys\|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.		: His instructions and packaging call out a combined mode using parts from ''Legacy: Evolution'' [[Scraphook#Toys\|Scraphook]], replacing the driver's side hood and rear with the front and back wheels of Crashbar.

	:Part of the second wave of Deluxes in ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy: Evolution]]'', Crashbar transforms into a motorcycle. His [[Evo-Fusion]] function is analogous to the Weaponizer gimmick from the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)\|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 motocycle 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 assymetrical nature of his transformation impacting his right-ankle articulation, he often can't help but stand lop-sided.		: Part of the second wave of Deluxes in ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy: Evolution]]'', Crashbar transforms into a motorcycle.

	: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.		: Crashbar comes with four different accessories, which can all be integrated into his motorcycle mode.

	:His instructions and packaging call out a combined mode using parts from ''Legacy'' [[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.		: His instructions and packaging call out a combined mode using parts from ''Legacy'' [[Scraphook]], replacing the driver's side hood and rear with the front and back wheels of Crashbar.
