This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
Crabhit (クラブヒット Kurabuhitto), or Crat (クラット Kuratto) for short, is one of the many Beastformers who joined the insurgent army under Alligatron raised by Galvatron in order to aid his Decepticons in conquering the formerly-peaceful planet Beast. A quick-tempered perfectionist, he hates crooked and imperfect things and gets very heated about what he likes and dislikes. Capable of fighting both on land and underwater with his razor-sharp Crat Scissors, he made his name fighting as a Decepticon underwater attack soldier during the war. Crabhit holds the rank of Emperor of Sunatoria, under King Giader, and was born in Crab City. His main weakness is being slow, which he makes up for in battle by pairing up with Giader.
Toys
Beastformers
- Crabhit (Beastformer, 1987)
- Beast ID number: 28
- Accessories: Claw-axe
- Part of the first series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Crabhit is a pink anthropomorphic crab in brown robotic armor. His left arm ends in a crab-claw. The rubsign on his chest reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water or Wood.
- The Hasbro Battle Beasts release of the figure more commonly came in orange, but pink samples have been found as well. It is uncertain if Crabhit was released in the Takara line in orange.
- He was re-released in the subsequent second and third series; while the toy proper was not changed, the packaging and packed-in bio card was. The Series 1 release comes in a generic purple-grid "Destron Beastformer" box, with a purple-grid bio card with a painted character image on the front, though there was a random chance of his card being replaced by the rare "Holography Mirror" card. Series 2 came in a green-grid generic "DestronBeastformer" box, with the bio card putting the painted image on a jungle backdrop. Series 3's box was unchanged, but the bio card replaced the painted image with a simpler line-art image, first used in Hasbro's Battle Beasts cast poster. In the green-box releases, depending on the "Pack" he came in, there was a chance of his bio card being replaced with a rare "Secret Photo", "Bewitching Serpent Seal", or "VS Holography Mirror" card.
Beastformers
- Crabhit (Beastformer, 1988)
- Beast ID number: 28
- Accessories: "Crat Scissors" MVP Weapon
- Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, Crabhit was given a straight re-release with new packaging and a new, more filled-out bio card with corrected coloring. This new card also gave his weapon, now branded an "MVP Weapon", the name "Crat Scissors" (クラットシザース Kuratto Shizāsu).
- The initial early releases of this series had the chance for any Beastformer to have the rare Burstsun symbol; we'll probably never know if Crabhit was ever actually one of them. Later in the run, the "mood ring" styled rubsigns were replaced with new rubsigns that revealed full-color Fire/Wood/Water images on black backdrops. (These rubsign variants also happened at the same time in the Hasbro Battle Beast version of the line.)
- Crabhit (Gashapon/candy-toy Beastformer, 1988)
- Meiji ID number: 12
- Accessories: "Musasabeamer" weapon
- A small, super-deformed, articulation-free version of Crabhit was produced by Meiji, and sold both as a gashapon capsule prize and as a candy toy with "chocoballs". The candy toy version came with a bio/data card with its own role-playing rules, using the old Transformers-era painted character art.
- This stumpy lil fellow could be found in red, blue or green plastic, representing the Fire, Water and Wood elements (even though he still had a rubsign). All of the Meji Beastformers comes with a different Beastformer's weapon attached to their shoulder by a snippable sprue. Crabhit came with Flying Attacker's "Musasabeamer" weapon, while Bluehorse came with Crabhit's "Crat Scissors".
