- Crankstart is a Decepticon from the live-action film series continuity family.
Crankstart just wants to have fun. Mind you, his idea of "fun" is basically "endanger the lives of any humans that might be in the remote vicinity". And if any Autobots get in the way... well, that's all the more fun, isn't it?
That overconfidence will undoubtedly get him in deep, deep trouble some day.
Fiction
Packaging bio
Crankstart found a remote beach in eastern Africa[1] to hide from the Autobots. This turned out to be pretty boring, so he would sometimes fire off a missile at passing human sea vessels to pass the time. Unbeknownst to him, Sea Spray and Breacher burst right out of the water and were hot on his tail.
Titan Magazines
Crankstart, Brimstone, and Trenchmouth were having a hell of a time in Salt Lake City, Utah: with the Autobot's popularity wrecked, they got to do some wrecking of their own and PARRRRR-TAY! He led the trio, eagerly touting the possibility for destruction and how more things would come to them if they waited; to prove his point, the local police turned up and he was able to have fun wiping them out. They drove off to have fun in Nevada too...
...when the Autobots hit. Crankstart mocked their strike as being feeble and pulling their punches... when Bumblebee drove through him. Shadow War
Toys
Transformers (2010)
- Crankstart (Scout Class, 2010)
- Crankstart is a redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Dune Runner, transforming into a vehicle based on the Sector Seven dune buggies seen in the first film, the same vehicle also used as the basis for the Movie toyline's Landmine. The twin gatling guns mounted on his roof/shoulders have multi-jointed armatures for different firing positions.
- This mold was also used to make Revenge of the Fallen Beachcomber and 2010 Transformers Rollbar.
Notes
- The abbreviated bio for Breacher from his multilingual packaging for the European market refers to Crankstart as Crankshaft.
