- Rabbicrater is an Autobot Micromaster from the Zone portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Rabbicrater (ラビクレーター Rabikurētā) commands Zone City's lunar base, also serving as the Rocket Base's pilot. Rabbicrater often acts as the voice of reason (or caution, or sanity) when his commander Moonradar goes rushing headlong into battle- with limited success. You might think this would make him a stick-in-the-mud like Prowl, but he and Moonradar enjoy a playful, competitive friendship.
Fiction
Zone cartoon, manga, and story pages
- Voice actor: Tsutomu Kashiwakura (Japan)
Rabbicrater ran into Moonradar on the highway while his commander was shuttling the refugee Cain around Zone and engaged in some friendly road-jockeying with him.
When the Nine Great Demon Generals attacked Zone, Rabbicrater lamented that the Powered Masters weren't back from searching for Victory Saber yet. Moonradar ignored him and went about mounting a defense.
When the Demon Generals departed with Zone's store of Energon Z, Rabbicrater piloted Rocket Base, ferrying Moonradar's crack strike force (and Cain) to Earth. He reminded Moonradar that they needed to find out what the Decepticons wanted the Energon Z for. Moonradar ignored him and went about mounting an offense.
During the battle with the Generals, Rabbicrater stayed with Cain and their new human friend Akira to chaperone them. Cain ignored him and went about mounting Akira. Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas! Transformers: Zone
Later, Metrotitan and the Metrosquad were sent forth to destroy the Lunar Zone Base commanded by Rabbicrater. Zone Part 7 Metrotitan attacked without mercy, destroying Galaxy Shuttle. Rabbicrater scooped up Cain, Akira and Emusa in his vehicle mode and shuttled them to safety while Sonic Bomber dealt with the Metrosquad. Eventually, Dai Atlas showed up to battle Metrotitan. Zone Part 8
Metrotitan used his Freeze Beam Gun to first freeze Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber in their tracks, and then upon the Lunar Zone Base, freezing Rabbicrater and everyone else. All hope seemed lost until Road Fire arrived and defeated Metrotitan, unfreezing Rabbicrater and the other Autobots. Zone Part 9
