Crankstart

Crankstart is a Decepticon from the 2010 Transformers toyline.

Not Armada Wheeljack, we swear.

Crankstart found a remote beach in Africa to hide from the Autobots. This turned out to be pretty boring, so he would sometimes fire off a missile at a passing human sea vessel to pass the time. Unbeknownst to him, Sea Spray and Breacher were hot on his tail.

• Crankstart (Scout Class, 2010)

Crankstart is a redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Dune Runner, transforming in a vehicle based on the Sector Seven dune buggies seen in the first film, the same vehicle also used as the basis for the Movie toyline's Landmine. The twin gatling guns mounted on his roof/shoulders have multi-jointed armatures for different firing positions.

This mold was also used to make Revenge of the Fallen Beachcomber.
