- Crashbar is an Autobot-allied Junkion Weaponizer from the Legacy portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Junkion known as Crashbar may not be as big as his fellow Junkion bikes, but he can prove to be a big challenge to any Decepticon who comes across him. He's also particularly fast... to a fault, considering he'll often crash into lots of things in his path. Thankfully, being a Junkion, damage is temporary to him. [1]
Toys
Legacy
- Crashbar (Deluxe Class, 2023)
- Accessories: 2 exhaust pipes/cannons, 2 blasters, back tire
- Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro), Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy), Marcelo Matere[2] and Dan Khanna[3] (concept art)[4]
- Part of the second wave of Deluxes in Legacy: Evolution, Crashbar transforms into a motorcycle. His Evo-Fusion function is analogous to the Weaponizer gimmick from the War for Cybertron Trilogy toylines; his body splits apart to form armor and weapon enhancements for his allies. Unlike previous figures of this nature however, Crashbar does not transform via partsforming.
- Crashbar comes with five different accessories, which can all be integrated into his motorcycle mode.
Notes
- Crashbar shares facial hair with his designer, Mark Maher.
- Both Dan Khanna and Marcelo Matere did concept sketches for the toy that would become Crashbar. Khanna's contribution was a drawing of HAZMAT, suggesting it was possible at some point in production this toy could have become him instead.
