Fracture (RID)
| The name or term "Fracture" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Fracture (disambiguation). |
- Fracture is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
A bounty hunter by trade, Fracture has absolutely no scruples as far as what he'll do to bring in his quarry. No tactic too underhanded, no trick too dirty, and certainly no worries whatsoever about messily eliminating any competition for a bounty. Smug and self-assured, he's just in it for the monetary gain.
Naturally, this puts him at odds with rival bounty hunter Drift, who ends up taking many of the same jobs as Fracture, but for (ugh) honorable reasons. Fracture longs for the day he can finally put that nuisance in the scrapyard and just beat the crap out of bounties in peace.
He's backed up by his two Mini-Con partners, Airazor and Divebomb, who he can launch like missiles from his shoulders. They're most often deployed to provide distractions or mop up anyone who might get between Fracture and his prey.
Fiction
2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon
- Voice actor: Kevin Pollak (English), Anri Katsu (Japanese), Alessandro Zurla (Italian), Yasser Azzat (Arabic)
Fracture headed to Earth to pick up the bounty on Bumblebee, however Drift had had the same idea, and the pair tangled at a deserted ranch. Fracture managed to get Drift on the ropes until Bumblebee and his team joined the fight, forcing Fracture and his Mini-Cons to retreat. Using micro-drones to spy on the Autobots, Fracture was able to set a series of traps, enabling him to capture Grimlock, Strongarm, Sideswipe and Denny. He attempted to use them to bargain for Bumblebee, but instead ended up fighting Drift again. Though he again defeated Drift, Slipstream and Jetstorm hijacked his ship, freeing the hostages and forcing him to flee. Hunting Season
Now stranded on Earth, Fracture took on an Earth vehicle mode and joined forces with Steeljaw's gang. An encounter with Clampdown led the gang to confront the Autobots in a garbage dump, and an overconfident Fracture was defeated by Sideswipe. Steeljaw later managed to free the Decepticons from their cuffs and they returned to their hideout. Back at the base, Fracture expressed his doubts as to Clampdown's reliability, what with him snitching to the Autobots, but Steeljaw assured him that the crab-bot had been suitably... convinced that betraying them again would not be in his best interests. Sideways
Fracture took part in a plan to take over the Autobots' scrapyard. It was briefly successful, with the Autobots being kept out using a subsonic field, but once they got back in, Fracture tried to face them with the other Decepticons. He squared off against Drift successfully until Drift was joined by the other Autobots, who dispensed of the rest of the Decepticon team. Defeated, Fracture later had to flee back to the hideout with the other Decepticons. Lockout

Toys
Robots in Disguise (2015)
- Decepticon Fracture (One-Step Changer, 2015)
- Part of the third wave of Robots in Disguise One-Step Changers, Fracture transforms from robot to chopper in just 1 easy step: Pulling the front wheel and saddle up to complete his robot mode. Secondary stock photos (pictured from the right) shows his optics were painted blue instead of red.
- His scannable insignia is on the right side of his front wheel. The badge is not scannable in-package.
- The TakaraTomy release of One-Step Fracture (as the only toy of the 9th wave of Easy Dynamic Series) features additional paint applications. He also features a scan-badge, which is compatible to TakaraTomy's Transformers Chronicle app.
- Decepticon Fracture (Deployer, 2015)
- Japanese release date: 08-29-2015
- Japanese ID number: TAV24
- Accessories: Airazor Mini-Con (both Hasbro and TakaraTomy), Sandsting Mini-Con (TakaraTomy only)
- This Warrior-sized mold of Fracture transforms into a Cybertronian hoverbike. Low on articulation, Fracture is constructed around his "Deployer" gimmick, a large, built-in, spring-loaded launcher which hangs off his right-hand side and can launch any torpedo-type Robots in Disguise Mini-Con figure, including his packed-in partner, Airazor. In robot mode, pulling down on a lever on Fracture's back swings the launcher downward (whlie swinging his right arm up in a pointing move) to fire the loaded Mini-Con; in vehicle mode, it becomes his bike's sidecar, and the Mini-Con is launched by pressing a button on top of it. The launcher is designed with a "safety" switch for both modes; as a robot, his legs need to be pulled slightly apart, in vehicle mode, a button on its underside needs to be pressed in, generally accomplished by placing the toy on a flat surface. Although he is not designed to, he can also launch Cyclone Mini-Cons.
- Fracture includes tabs on his forearms design to hold Airazor's energy swords, and features a Mini-Con mounting port on his left elbow, where Airazor or any other Mini-Con can attach. His scannable insignia is on his on robot mode chest, easily scanned even in-package.
- The secondary stock photos features a different deco compared to the final product. Some of his parts are changed to a reddish purple, and his scannable insignia is slightly enlarged.
- The Japanese Adventure Series release of Fracture, sold under the name Micronshooter Fracture Set, features extensive paint applications and includes another Mini-Con... bizarrely, a redeco of Sandsting rather than the obvious choice of Divebomb. What the crap?
- Decepticon Fracture (Warrior Class, 2016)
- Accessories: Rifle
- Part of the fifth wave of Warrior Class figures, Fracture transforms into an Earth-mode chopper bike.

- Pieces: 247
- Kreons: Optimus Prime, Fracture, Airazor, Divebomb
- Accessories: Buildable rifle
- Kreon Fracture was available only as part of the "Optimus Prime Beast Blaster" set. His built-up rifle attaches to a small clip pegged onto his back. He also comes with a brick-built hoverbike based roughly on the character's in-show Cybertronian mode.
- You can get a more show-accurate Fracture by simply swapping his black helmet for Divebomb's purple helmet... which also makes Divebomb more show-accurate to boot.
- All of the 2015 Transformers Kre-O product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx stores, including this set.
