Crazybolt (BW)

Crazybolt is a Predacon from the Beast Wars Neo portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Maybe I'm craaaazy(bolt)...

Crazybolt was Cybertron's number one escape-artist and a master thief. Once he realized that the spoils of war were much more rewarding, he joined the Predacons. Unfortunately this hasn't worked out as well as he might have hoped. He's tried every dishonest criminal trick he knows to advance himself in the Predacon army with little success. His fellow Predacons are quite aware of his history and reputation, and consider him an untrustworthy, prattling con-man. He is teamed along with the dunce Hardhead and acts as his commander. Crazybolt can slip in and out of even the tightest areas and his escape tricks baffle even the wisest of Maximals. He's also the first to slip away from battle if things start to go bad.

Crazybolt is a redeco of the Beast Wars Basic mold Iguanus, transforming into a generic frilled lizard. He transforms from beast to robot with a spring-loaded one-step transformation. His tail separates to form a (non-firing) hand-held blaster.
