Crush-Bull is an Autobot Micromaster from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Crush bull and work into a fine paste. Add a dash of lemon.

Crush-Bull (クラッシュブル Kurashu Buru) is the leader of the Build Team. He's strong and deeply committed to following routine when on the job. Combine this with his deep-rooted emotional side, and he can be tricked a little too easily.

He also has an evil counterpart running around.

Fiction

Micromaster Collection

Crush-Bull was one of several Cyberdroids in stasis at the Autobot Micromasters' Earth base. During a particularly pitched battle with the Decepticon Sixwing in Berserker Mode, the capsules containing the Build Team took a shock, activating them. A little while later, Micromasters resembling the Build Team were spotted wrecking human construction sites. The Build Team soon confronted them in Sixbuilder mode... only for the impostors to do the same! The green Decepticon Sixbuilder announced that the two teams were actually halves of the original whole, and that he would rejoin with Sixbuilder only after all the other Autobots had been destroyed. Sixbuilder – Warrior of Misfortune!?

Later, after Sixtrain beat back the Decepticons at an excavation site by a dormant volcano, the Build Team began their own investigation, wondering what the Decepticons were digging up. When Raise discovered two pieces of metal, one of which bore a strange purple insignia, Crush-Bull's quick analysis revealed that both were Cybertronian in origin. Realizing something incredibly important was buried there, but not sure what, the Autobots begin to defend the site from Decepticon attacks. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!

The Autobots established a new headquarters, Metrobase, at the foot of Mount St. Hillary to protect the ruins from Decepticon attacks. During another excavation of the site, Joe, Crush-Bull and Convertor unearthed a strange pod from the ruins, which emitted a mysterious radiation that tore open a rift in space and time. The radiation knocked the Micromasters offline, so they didn't see the six shapes which emerged through the tear... The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!

The Micromaster Collection story was never actually concluded. However, as it has been established that its events take place as part of the normal Japanese Transformers timeline, it can be assumed that Sixbuilder and his evil half were eventually reformed into a whole being.

Operation Combination

Years later, Crush-Bull and the rest of the Six-team Micromasters joined Guard City and the Road Corps in defending Earth from the forces of the Decepticon Führer Scrash. Operation Combination

None of the combiner team individuals ever actually show up as individuals, only as components of the combined robot modes.

Toys

Operation: Combination

  • Sixbuilder (Micromaster, 1992)
    • Japanese ID nuber: TF-01
The original version of Crush-Bull was available only as part of a Sixbuilder gift set in Japan. Aside from the bulldozer mode, Crush-Bull can form the chest or back of any of the similar-build Six-Teams (Sixturbo, Sixbuilder or Sixwing), though his nominal placement is as Sixbuilder's back. The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.
This mold was also used to make Universe Micromaster Bonecrusher, and the evil half of Crush-Bull.


Micromaster Collection

The actual toy is in a shade of blue-green that is seemingly impossible to recreate in RGB. Hell, even getting this close took extensive retouching. You're welcome.
  • Crush-Bull (Micromaster, 2003)
    • Sixbuilder ID number: 1
    • Accessories: Sixbuilder legs
In 2003, the entire Sixbuilder team was re-released as the fourth wave of Micromaster Collection, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, the team was extensively redecoed; Crush-Bull went from light green to a deep aqua-green. All decals were also replaced with paint applications.

Notes

  • Crush-Bull's name could also be Romanized as "Crash-Bull".
  • Crush-Bull, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual bio information whatsoever until his Micromaster Collection release a decade after his original Operation Combination release.
