Autocrusher

Autocrusher is a Predacon Autoroller from the Beast Wars II portion of the Beast Era continuity family.

I'm sure there's some kind of saw pun out there, but screw it.

Autocrusher 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. Responsible for guarding Predacon installations, he’s a loud, brash soldier who relentlessly browbeats younger and less dedicated soldiers.

Beast Wars II

• Autocrusher (Auto-Roller, 1998)

Japanese ID number: D-18, VS-18

A redeco of Generation 2 Dirtbag, Autocrusher was available in Japan both individually and in a giftset with Powerhug. He turns into a payloader, and has a spring-activated spinning saw blade on his left arm, and a spring-loaded missile launcher in the right. He has an auto-transforming gimmick activated by rolling his rear wheels; roll forward to go to robot mode, and back to payloader. A switch on his back end separates the gears of the gimmick, allowing him to roll freely in either mode.

This mold was also intended to be used for "Sgt. Hound" in Generation 2, but that release was cancelled.

Trivia

• All of the Beast Wars II Autorollers have 2-D card art, rather than the CGI model art made for the entire rest of the line.
