Crankcase (G1)
From MediaWiki
- Crankcase is a whiny skidplate in the stupid Geewun continuity family.
Nobody likes Crankcase, and he hates everybody and everything. The bullies of his youth put a huge chip on his shoulder, where he now carries a set of heavy guns. He'd rather use them on those too weak to retaliate, and then laugh in their faces while their energon runs out. This makes him momentarily happy; then he goes back to and endless series of griping complaints about every facet of his miserable existence. A complete jerk and slag-piece, he fits fairly well into the Decepticon military, but adds very little to it. The Autobots certainly wouldn't want him. They already have Gears and Huffer.
French-Canadian name: Grincheux
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity. You're all nerds.
Toys
- Crankcase (Triggercon, 1988)
- Crankcase transforms from an ugly 4wd off-road vehicle to a stupid, unposeable robot with boring colors. Similar to all the other moronic Triggercons, he has cheesy flip-out weaponry; a useless pair of cannons that ruin his windshield when stowed away and do nothing cool when deployed; Playskool garbage.
