In weapon form, he can be wielded by any other figure with 5 mm post-holes. His gun barrel also ends in a 5 mm hole, making him compatible with certain Fire Blast effects.

- Known designers: Koki Yamada (TakaraTomy)
- Part of the first wave of "Beast Combiners" two-packs, this version of Skullcruncher transforms from robotic crocodile to a set of armor for compatible figures via partial autotransformation. His tail detaches to become a hand-held weapon and his upper skull detaches to become a shield. His lower jaw houses a cannon, which can be rotated forward in combined robot mode.
- He was only available packed in with Optimus Primal, and his armor mode features a new robot-mode head designed as a merger between Primal's head and Skullcruncher's beast styling. However, he is compatible with any other "main" figure in the Beast Combiner assortment, not just Primal.
Notes
- Skullcruncher is labelled as a Decepticon on the packaging of both his toys, but the instructions for the Beast Combiners release designates him as a Maximal instead.
