| This article is about the Beast Wars Neo Predacon. For the Robots in Disguise Decepticon, see Crazybolt (RID). |
- Crazybolt is a Predacon from the Beast Wars Neo portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
A criminal celebrity if there ever was one, Crazybolt (クレイジーボルト Kureijīboruto) was renowned as Cybertron's number one escape-artist. Cunning, resourceful, and oh-so-devious, there wasn't a prison in the galaxy that could hold him for so much as a cycle. Formerly a master thief, Crazybolt felt that the spoils of war would prove more rewarding in the long run, so he willingly enlisted in Magmatron's Predacon army.
Well, that was a big mistake. Crazybolt has tried every dastardly and dishonest trick in the book to advance through the ranks, and without any success to speak of. His reputation having preceded his enlistment, his fellow Predacons are well aware of his slippery nature and consider him an untrustworthy, underhanded con-man.

Crazybolt was part of a group of rampaging Cybertronians during the Angolmois-induced riots on Cybertron. The Ascending #4
Beast Wars: Uprising
Crazybolt was a Predacon junior engineer aboard the starship Dinosaur. When a distress signal from a prison ship was detected on LGC-8803, he was tapped to join an away team to investigate the planet. Their shuttle was damaged before landing thanks to the Destructons, prompting a conflict with the Second-Born Intellects. Crazybolt and his crew met up with Trans-Mutate and Rampage, the prisoners who survived the first ship's crash, and they learned about Lord Imperious Delirious's plans. Crazybolt fought against the Destructons until Imperious was seemingly beaten.
Having learned about the Grand Uprising back home, Crazybolt and several other protoformers from the Dinosaur chose to return and fight in the Resistance. Crazybolt and helm specialist Bazooka had also forged a close bond during their struggles on the planet, and soon became Conjunx Endura. Intersectionality
Although they joined the Resistance as a unit under Magmatron, Crazybolt and his crewmates still remained somewhat independent. When an alien threat was uncovered by their ally Rampage, the unit abandoned the Resistance's goals to eliminate the so-called Antares Eight. Afterwards, Crazybolt and Bazooka joined their lose mix of proto-formers and Builders as an independent unit known as the Ex-Bots, separate from the Resistance and fighting to preserve the peace in contested Proximax, looking after the civilian population in times of war. Cultural Appropriation
When the Vehicon Apocalypse threatened to overwhelm the planet, the Ex-Bots joined the surviving armies in advancing on the Grand Mal. Bazooka and the Constructicons had renovated a lobotomized Sweep as the Ex-Bots' Ex-Jet, allowing them easy access to the battleground. During the final conflict at the Grand Mal, Bazooka and Crazybolt were manning the Ex-Jet, taking shots at the floating fortress. They determined the Mal's force field was energy resistant, but weak against ballistic projectiles and solid firepower. Bazooka came up with a suicide ploy to ram the Ex-Jet itself into the Grand Mal's intakes, but refused to take Crazybolt with him. He shoved his conjunx out of the ship and successfully crashed into the Grand Mal, severely damaging its force field.
In the aftermath of battle, Crazybolt mourned the loss of Bazooka with Magmatron and Snapper. Derailment
