Bonecrusher (Energon)

The name or term "Bonecrusher" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Bonecrusher (disambiguation).

Bonecrusher is a Decepticon from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

He'll rake you to death with his rake.

Besides crushing bones, Bonecrusher enjoys candlelit dinners, long walks on the beach at sunset, and owns the entire series of Bob the Builder. Actually, none of that is true, and was just now generated by TFWiki.net's Random Personality Engine. However, if he had any character development at all, you can bet that would be him, all the way. Yup.

Bonecrusher was able to form a limb of Constructicon Maximus, until the Autobots relieved his team of its leader. After that he went on the dole, and went backpacking around the Speed Planet. Nope, that's a bunch of hogwash again. Drat.

Fiction

Energon cartoon

Shortly after awakening from their long slumber, Constructicon Maximus and Bruticus Maximus were ordered by Galvatron to pursue the fleeing Superion Maximus after the Autobot attempted to attack the Decepticon leader. Both combiners separated into their individual components and gave chase. They later pledged their allegiance to Galvatron, believe he was the future of Cybertron. Galvatron!

During a virtual training match between the Autobots and Decepticons, Bonecrusher and the other Constructicon team members fought alongside the Destruction Team against Storm Jet and his Air Team. Both sides combined and clashed, with Superion Maximus losing the battle. However, they were quickly defeated by Optimus Supreme in the next round. Distribution

Bonecrusher and the other Constructicon Team members eventually paid for their treachery during a final show down with the Air Team. Bruticus Maximus and Constructicon Maximus double teamed Superion Maximus, who held his own and destroyed Constructicon's spark before the Autobot was reduced to just Storm Jet. However, the ghost of Superion's brother appeared, destroying Blackout, giving Storm Jet the chance to procure Constructicons's dead limbs (including Bonecrusher) and recombined into Superion. Before Bruticus could recover, the Autobot pierced his spark, causing an explosion which engulfed them all. Spark

Bonecrusher was never referred to by name, nor was he ever presented as a sentient, individual being. Most of his appearances were as the left leg of Constructicon Maximus.

Toys

Energon

Dandelions, prepare to meet your maker!

• Bonecrusher (Basic, 2005)
  • Team ID number: C4
  • Accessories: Energon claw, Decepticon-type Energon star

Bonecrusher, identical in mold to his teammate Sledge, transforms into a wheeled front-end loader. He can also form a leg or arm to any Energon-series "Powerlinx Combiner" super robot, though his nominal placement is as the left leg of Constructicon Maximus. He comes with a mutant rake-thing loosely termed an energon weapon, and a blue "super energon" Decepticon-style energon star.

Also the transformation is very similar to transformers the movie or universe hardtop.

The official Hasbro photography shows him to have steel-gray "hubcaps", but the final released version uses metallic bronze instead.

This mold was also used to make Classics Bonecrusher and Scrapper.

• Buildron (Gift set, 2004)
  • Japanese ID number: EX-01

In Japan, Bonecrusher was only available as part of the complete Toys "R" Us exclusive "Buildron" set. He has some slight deco differences from his Hasbro counterpart; he uses a more orangey paint than the Hasbro Bonecrusher's yellow, and he has steel-gray "hubcaps" instead of bronze.

Trivia

• Bonecrusher/Sledge's transformation scheme was later used to make Cybertron Hardtop.
