Crankstart is a Decepticon from the Kre-O continuity family.

What was that? Did you hear that? Someone's out to get me! I can't see ‘em, but I know they're there. A lot of the other Kreons call me paranoid. They think I'm off my brick. But you'd be paranoid too if you knew someone was out there hunting you!!!

Toys

Kre-O

• Crankstart (Micro-Changer, 2012)
  • Kit number: A1010
  • Bag number: 214510

Part of a six-figure "preview" wave of Micro-Changer Kreons, Crankstart is a blindpacked bagged mini-figure. He comes with extra parts which help him form a dunebuggy (sorta).

He uses the Hound helmet, Battleship series torso armor, Optimus Prime smokestacks and wheels, and the Bumblebee pistol.

Notes

• Crankstart's CG model shows him without his torso armor and "windshield" pieces.
• Crankstart's helmet was originally designed for a Kreon based on Hound, which had been shown off at several events, but to this date, no actual Hound Kreon has been released or even officially announced.
