- Autocrasher is a Predacon Autoroller from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Autocrasher is one of the oldest soldiers you'll find in the entire Predacon army. Like many old-timers he often goes on at length about how things were done "in his cycle" and is full of seemingly endless tales of old battles fought alongside long dead robots. He doesn’t question why he fights for the Predacons and Galvatron; it’s his duty to do so, so he does it to the best of his ability. He believes such obedience and dedication are the key to a return of the era of Decepticon glory. Responsible for guarding Predacon installations, he’s a loud, brash soldier who relentlessly browbeats younger and less dedicated soldiers.
