| This article is about the Decepticon Micromaster. For his heroic counterpart, see Stonecruncher (SG). |
- Stonecruncher is a Decepticon Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Stonecruncher is the frat boy of the Constructor Squad. He's loud and enthusiastic about all their missions, and always ready to bellow out, "Constructor Squad rules!" Rather than be annoyed by their bro-bot's attempts to cheer them up by suggesting energon-fueled mayhem, the rest of the team actually appreciate the effort. Despite his crude, party-boy exterior, Stonecruncher is actually a pretty good builder, though he could stand to pay attention to his surroundings when he's all fired up. Unlike many Decepticons, he displays fierce loyalty and protectiveness toward his squadmates, especially his quiet combiner partner, Excavator.[1]

Notes
[edit]- In the first Return of Convoy toy catalog, Grit/Knockout and Stonecruncher/Excavator's photos were incorrectly swapped between their two teams.

- In Dreamwave's More than Meets the Eye encyclopedia, Stonecruncher is depicted flipped left-to-right. (His combiner pin is on the wrong side.)
