- Krunix is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Krunix exists. He asks his fellow Decepticons to save some for him. Some... anything.
Fiction
Marvel The Transformers comics
Krunix appeared exclusively in the UK portion of the Marvel Comics continuity.
Krunix took part in the Decepticons raid on Fortress Maximus's base in the Manganese Mountains. He was concerned the transmission from Zarak could be a booby-trap before discovering it was an alien language.
Krunix was among the Decepticons that traveled to Nebulos, and was part of Scorponok's handpicked team that laid siege to Koraja. Broken Glass!
Beast Wars: Uprising
Toys
Generations
- Fracas & Scourge (Deluxe, 2016)
Titans Return Fracas was repurposed as the Beast Wars: Uprising version of Krunix.
- Packaged with Generations Titans Return Scourge, Fracas is a Titan Master, and can transform into a head compatible with Scourge or any other Deluxe-or-larger Titans Return figure. Fracas's robot mode is based on the original Nightstick toy (see below).
- Fracas features ball-joints in the neck and shoulders, with swivels in the hip and knees. This gives a deceptive amount of articulation and posability for a toy its size. The knees are double jointed, allowing them to bend backwards for a seated on kneeling position in addition to forming his head mode. The balljointed neck also allows for Scourge to move his head.
- In addition to forming his head, Fracas can also sit in Scourge's vehicle mode cockpit and in his double-barrelled gun. He also features peg holes in his feet which allow him to attach to a wide variety of Titans Return figures.
- Fracas's mold was used in Japan to make the small Headmaster stage of Legends Scourge.

Notes
- In Headmasters #2, Cyclonus is supposed to appear in a couple of scenes. However, artist Frank Springer accidentally drew a giant-sized version of Nightstick instead, which was then colored like Cyclonus. (The giant Nightstick is actually a giant Fracas, since the two Nebulans' character models got swapped... oy!) For the UK printing of the story, since audiences were already very familiar with Cyclonus from exclusive stories in that comic, the giant Nightstick was renamed "Krunix".
- In the Titan Transformers: Trial by Fire reprint, "Krunix" went back to being "Cyclonus", despite the reprint being a UK publication.
