Crazybolt (RID)

This article is about the Robots in Disguise Decepticon. For the Beast Wars Neo Predacon, see Crazybolt (BWN).

Crazybolt is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Don't stalk with your mouth full.

Crazybolt subscribes to a simple philosophy: speed. Everything in life should be about going as fast as you can and nothing should be slowing you down. On Velocitron, this philosophy would allow Crazybolt to fit right in. But on planets such as Cybertron and Earth, there are too many obstacles in the form of cities, natural terrain, and people. And to Crazybolt, there is only one solution to dealing with all obstacles impeding his speed: destroying them with his fiery breath and burning exhaust.

His Mini-Con partner is the ever-loyal Slicedice, who is as dedicated to Crazybolt as his master is to speed. He is also associated with Hammer.

Fiction

If anyone tells me to lick my eyeballs...they're dead!

An ex-drag racer, Crazybolt and Slicedice were arrested after Crazybolt leveled Steel City, claiming that the buildings impeded his mobility. He was placed in a stasis pod and sent away aboard the Alchemor, only to be freed when the ship crashed on Earth. The duo continued their high-octane rampage across Earth's highways, although Bumblebee's team eventually tracked them down. The two fled; Crazybolt used a smokescreen to send Strongarm onto an overpass, distracting her while they made good their escape.

I feel the need...the need for speed!

After some more driving, Crazybolt and Slicedice discovered a nature reserve. Slicedice, offended by the sign, goaded his partner into burning down the sign... and the entire forest, viewing it as an insult to their desire for unimpeded speed. Although Bumblebee and Grimlock grappled with the Decepticons, they were unable to subdue either before the flames forced them to break off. The Decepticon duo took advantage of the fire and fled the scene. Suspended

That's a...spicy meat-a ball!

The pair met up with Scorponok in a disused drive-in, though the other Decepticon was swiftly irritated by their tardiness and their need for speed. They were about to come to blows when Bumblebee and Grimlock attacked. Aiming to end the fight quickly, Crazybolt blasted Bumblebee with flame, but was forced to stop when the Autobot used Slicedice as an impromptu shield. Bumblebee and Grimlock were able to overcome the Decepticons, and as a result Crazybolt and his companion were safely locked away in a stasis pod. Misdirection
