- Sparkcrusher is a Decepticon from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film continuity family.
The powerful Sparkcrusher hides amongst Earth's vehicles as a futuristic space tank, covered in nigh-impenetrable armor, and armed with a deadly cannon. Unfortunately, he's all power and no brains.
Because, you know, if he were smart, he'd have chosen to transform into an Abrams or something.
