  • Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2006)
As noted, the Wave Crusher is a jetski/trailer combination that came with the Classics version of Bumblebee. The jet ski portion cannot be removed, however, as it forms the central axles that the trailer part uses to transform into winged jet pack-mode.
This mold was used to make Bug Bite's Tidal Wave pack.

For Cliffjumper, the Wave Crusher was redecoed into a red carrier and silver jet ski with some blue detailing.

[edit]
