Sparkcrusher

Sparkcrusher is a Decepticon from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film continuity family.

My name basically means "soul smoosher."

The powerful Sparkcrusher hides amongst Earth's vehicles as a futuristic space tank, covered in nigh-impenetrable armor, and armed with a deadly cannon. Unfortunately, he's all power and no brains.

Because, you know, if he were smart, he'd have chosen to transform into an Abrams or something.

Toys

Revenge of the Fallen

Sparkcrusher is a redeco of Universe Legends Warpath, transforming into a Cybertronian H-tank with an elevating gun barrel. He was available in the Target-exclusive "Straightaway Shootout" 5-pack together with Mudflap, Ironhide, Runamuck, and Swerve.

In Canada, the set was released as a Zellers exclusive.

Notes

• Sparkcrusher is a pretty blatant homage to the Action Master Gutcruncher. Whether his name changed due to trademark issues or a supposed "softening" of what the original name evokes is unknown.
• He's the only guy in his set that isn't based on a licensed vehicle, despite the whole "hiding on Earth" theme.
• Seriously, he has an intelligence rating of 2.
