Bonecrusher (BW)
- Bonecrusher is a Maximal from the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Stubborn and strong, Bonecrusher loves to battle Predacons. Despite the urging of his commanders, he cannot overcome his urge to engage the enemy violently. His personality has two settings—calm and crazed—and he knows just one strategy: CHARGE! Thankfully, his beast head and horns are super-reinforced to withstand any impact. It's a trait he puts to good use plowing through absolutely anything in his way. He's been known to charge through forest, rock, defensive emplacements, enemies, bunkers, more rock, more forest, more enemies, more rock, and so on...sometimes ending up nearly 30 miles behind enemy lines! Understandably, he tends to be held in reserve for last-ditch efforts, but when given reign, one of his unstoppable charges can easily turn the tide of a battle.

Fiction
Dreamwave Summer Special
In an untold tale from the original Beast Wars, Rattrap was on the run from Dinobot 2 when three unfamiliar Maximals -- Bonecrusher, Optimus Minor and Wolfang -- came to his rescue and pulped the evil clone. They asked Rattrap to keep their existence a secret, for there was something of grave importance other than the Beast Wars that required their attention. Dreamwave Summer Special

Bonecrusher was one of the protoforms jettisoned by the Axalon on prehistoric Earth. He was activated and put in chronal phase by Razorbeast at Magmatron's request, but was protected from Magmatron's Predacon shell-program by Razorbeast's viral code. He was one of the first Maximals to hear Razorbeast's signal.
Razorbeast's small group split up to search for Ravage's transwarp cruiser. Razorbeast, Snarl, Bonecrusher, and B'Boom were attacked by Magmatron, who was also looking for the cruiser. They escaped and met up with the other group, who had located the cruiser, and taken its damaged signal amplifier. To find spare parts to fix it, Bonecrusher and a few other Maximals journeyed to the Ark. Bonecrusher returned, bearing spare parts, and Snarl proceeded to fix the amplifier.
As the Maximals prepared to send a signal back to Cybertron, the Predacons attacked. Bonecrusher rushed out to face the enemy, but he was vastly outnumbered. As if on cue, the rest of the wayward Maximals, also protected by Razorbeast's viral code, arrived on scene. In the ensuing battle, Bonecrusher bashed Scavenger in the face. The Maximals won, and waited for a response to their distress call. The Gathering

- Bonecrusher transforms into a grey and black organic bison. In both beast and robot modes, pulling back on his beast-mode tail causes his robot-mode head to launch forward in a headbutt attack. This attack also launches a spring-loaded missile from his mouth at the end of his lunge.
