Fiction
Fun Publications Shattered Glass continuity
Gutcruncher was part of the Decepticon force battling the Autobots for control of the newly rediscovered Arch-Ayr fuel dump. He was about to be attacked by Rodimus and Arcee until Soundwave called in the Mayhem Suppression Squad. Though Dirge was able to disable Rodimus, Arcee was still able to fire her bow at Gutcruncher. Thundercracker was able to encase her in a bubble of silence, however. The inability to hear the voices in her head distracted her enough for Gutcruncher to knock her off her feet with a concussion blast.
Later, after the Dinobots' arrival, Gutcruncher was part of the discussion about possibly tracking down some of the Dinobots to reprogram them into troops. When Cliffjumper said he wasn't sure of the idea, on account of his own universe's Dinobots being stupid, disloyal, and untrustworthy, Gutcruncher snidely asked if Cliffjumper was sure the Autobots were really the good guys in his universe. Cliffjumper told him to "get torqued". Dungeons & Dinobots
