Buffalo MPV Decepticon

This article is about a character or concept which lacks any official name or designation. For more information, see Help:Nameless.

This article is about the nameless Decepticon in Revenge of the Fallen and the nameless Constructicon in Tales of the Fallen. For the Decepticon in the 2007 Transformers movie that looks like him, see Bonecrusher (Movie).

The Buffalo MPV title refers to both a Decepticon and a Constructicon from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

Does he hate this? Who knows.

Buffalo mine-protected vehicle Decepticons are Decepticons or Constructicons that transform into tan Buffalo mine-clearing vehicles used by the military.

Fiction

Revenge of the Fallen film

Before Operation: Firestorm, thirteen Decepticon reinforcements from the Nemesis rained down outside the pyramids. One of these was a mine-protected vehicle Decepticon, and during the fight against NEST forces in the Egyptian town it engaged Ironhide and Arcee in a brief firefight. This Decepticon was presumably destroyed during the United States Air Force's airstrike on ground targets. Revenge of the Fallen

Titan Magazines

The following is in letters page continuity.

When questioned who the Buffalo MPV was in Egypt, Ironhide said the Decepticon was a "Bonecrusher imposter". He's not sure quite who the guy is, but believes the two Decepticons look similar because they scanned the same disguise. And if you can't trust Ironhide, who can you trust? #13's Law and Disorder

• Bonecrusher (Deluxe, 2007)
  • Takara ID Number: MD-09

Bonecrusher transforms into a Buffalo mine-protected vehicle, with an articulated "mine-fork" for removing mines or cars or robots or unsuspecting buildings from his path. Although the fork is packaged with its sets of tines opposing one another, they can be rotated into a more appropriate side-by-side vehicle mode configuration, which the instructions fail to call out. He has six rolling wheels in this mode, and two sculpted, non-functional spare wheels.

His robot mode is, like most of the movie toys, based on pre-final design work, explaining his extremely long extensible arms as seen on some concept art. The mine-fork splits to form a grabber-claw, which can snap onto victims with a geared slider Automorph mechanism. His hips can often detach from the codpiece holding them together.

He is extremely short compared to many contemporary Deluxes.

He is named "Bonescrusher" on the Canadian cross-sell. Guess how Bonecrusher feels about that little misspelling.

Notes

• It is possible the character from Revenge of the Fallen is actually Bonecrusher from the first film. While Bonecrusher was decapitated by Optimus Prime, his chassis was not among those that were disposed of in the Laurentian Abyss. Bonecrusher's toy bios also claim he survived and is alive and well on Earth. Even Transformers: Forged to Fight lists Bonecrusher himself as "Revenge of the Fallen Bonecrusher", potentially indicating the two are the same.
  • Of course, it is also very likely the same case that Blackout and Grindor share; two separate Transformers who share the same body-type. If that's the case, then Bonecrusher must hate look-alikes.
