Behold, the triple crusher cannon!

On the rare occasions when Nautilator isn't lost or slowly rusting to death, he carries a triple crusher cannon (which sounds too cool to belong to Nautilator, really) into battle.

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

[edit]

The triple crusher cannon generated bands of energon, which wrapped around a target and tightened until it had been crushed into scrap. Nautilator could wield this weapon in lobster mode, mount it on his mouth, convert to weapons mode and use it in a stationary position, or use it in robot mode. In weapons mode, he could also (somehow) convert the triple crusher cannon into a torpedo cannon. Nautilator's Universe profile

Nautilator's triple crusher cannon fired bands of energon that encircled a target and tightened until it was destroyed. Nautilator's More than Meets the Eye profile

Animated continuity

[edit]

Swindle sold Lugnut a triple crusher cannon from Talos Four for use against Blitzwing during their feud, which was used to turn Blitzwing into a very compact ball.

  • Accessories: triple crusher cannon, left & right lobster claws, tripod rifle, connector, weapon stand base
The Transformers Nautilator came with a grey triple crusher cannon, as identified in his instructions and packaging bio, which can mount onto a 5 mm post-hole in Nautilator's lobster mode's mouth to form a kind of awkward "attack monster" mode, or be held in robot mode. He can also combine with it to form a third Targetmaster mode described as a "heat-seeking torpedo cannon".
This toy was concurrently sold in Takara's Super-God Masterforce line as Lobclaw. It was reissued as part of the Transformers (2010) toyline in a Decepticon Piranacon multi-pack.
