Toga! Toga! Toga! Toga!

Stonecruncher is the frat boy of the Constructor Squad. He's loud and enthusiastic about all their missions, and always ready to bellow out, "Constructor Squad rules!" Rather than be annoyed by their bro-bot's attempts to cheer them up by suggesting energon-fueled mayhem, the rest of the team actually appreciate the effort. Despite his crude, party-boy exterior, Stonecruncher is actually a pretty good builder, though he could stand to pay attention to his surroundings when he's all fired up. Unlike many Decepticons, he displays fierce loyalty and protectiveness toward his squadmates, especially his quiet combiner partner, Excavator.

Toys

Generation 1

"Over?! Nothing is over until WE decide it is! Was it over when the Aerialbots combined into Defensor? Hell no!"

• Constructor Squad (Micromaster Combiner Squad, 1990)

Stonecruncher transforms into a yellow crane truck which is intended the front half of a bigger crane truck, which he forms with his combiner partner Excavator. He can, of course, be connected to any other Micromaster Combiner.

Stonecruncher was only available in a six-pack with his squad mates Excavator, Grit, Hammer, Knockout and Sledge.

This toy was sold in Japan without changes as the Autobot Stonecruncher. This mold was also used to make Retro.
