[edit]- Crunch (Micron Booster, 2004)
- Booster ID number: 11
- Super Link Crunch is a redeco of the Armada Adventure Mini-Con Team member Dune Runner, transforming into a "sand rail" dune buggy with top-mounted artillery cannon.

- Available only as part of the second Micron Booster assortment in Japan, Crunch came in a "blind-packed" box that prevented the buyer from knowing the contents of the box until it was opened. This assortment was sold primarily though convenience stores.
- This toy was repurposed as the Beast Wars: Uprising incarnation of Crunch. This mold is also used by Armada Ironhide and Kobushi.

Notes
[edit]- Most (non-headliner) Micron Boosters are named similarly to their base mold's original Takara names, usually a synonym or related word. "Crunch" doesn't seem to have a lot of relation to Dune Runner's Japanese name "Spike"... unless you treat them both as verbs, we suppose.
- In February 2026, Greg Sepelak revealed that Low-Road was proposed as a localized name for a Transformers Collectors' Club website bio which never came to fruition.[2]
