Toys
Operation: Combination
- Sixbuilder (Micromaster Sixteam, 1992)
- The original version of Crush-Bull was available only as part of a Sixbuilder gift set in Japan. Aside from the bulldozer mode, Crush-Bull can form the chest or back of any of the similar-build Six-Teams (Sixturbo, Sixbuilder or Sixwing), though his nominal placement is as Sixbuilder's back. The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.
- Crush-Bull uses the same mold as the Universe Micromaster Bonecrusher, and the evil half of Crush-Bull.
Micromaster Collection
- Crush-Bull (Micromaster, 2003)
- Sixbuilder ID number: 1
- In 2003, the entire Sixbuilder team was re-released as part of the "Micromaster Collection", in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, the team was extensively redecoed; Crush-Bull went from light green to a deep aqua-green. All decals were also replaced with paint applications. He came packaged with the upper legs to the combined robot mode.
Trivia
- According to Hasbro designer Joe Kyde's design notes on Hasbro's Transformers website, Crush-Bull was the inspiration for the Walmart exclusive movie-verse Transformer Grindcore.
