Crustacion

Crustacion is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer: superstition ain't the way.

One of Cybertron's most wanted criminals, Crustacion would probably be the greatest thief if it weren't for his single-minded obsessiveness getting in the way. It's not just his rabid focus on protecting his loot, which sometimes reaches the point of ignoring more pressing problems. He is also incredibly superstitious, believing that luck is the overriding factor that guides his successes and failures. Thus he tends to stumble along moment-to-moment with little forethought or reflection, not noticing incredibly simple mistakes that can snowball into colossal problems, like which way he's holding his map.

It's probably a good thing that he's got ample prawn brawn to compensate for his lack of brain: his strength lets him go toe-to-toe with Dinobots, and his built-in optic blasters allows him to take potshots at his pursuers from afar.

Very superstitious, the devil's on his way.

Notes

• Crustacion reuses Ped's character model, giving him a different head.
• The synopsis for "Defrosted" released through TV listings services referred to Crustacion as Prong, presumably an early working name for the character.
