Bonecrusher is a member of the Constructicons. He is brawler by nature and specialises in demolitions work. He would enjoy the extra potential for destruction as Devastator if it didn't mean sharing the same mindspace as his fellow Constructicons. He transforms into a bulldozer, and forms Devastator's left arm.
[edit] Transformers: Generation 2
Bonecrusher was re-released as a recolor in both orange and yellow for Generation 2.

Bonecrusher's stasis pod was among those who were launched into orbit around prehistoric Earth in the series pilot.
[edit] IDW Publishing
Bonecrusher was features among the Maximals from the Axalon in IDW Publishing's Beast Wars: The Gathering series. The time line seems to be set before his Dreamwave appearance, as Dinobot's transmetal II clone had not been created yet.
Originally his protoform was recovered by Magmatron's Predacons and infected with a Predacon shell program. Unbeknownst to Magmatron, his technical expert Razorbeast was a Maximal double-agent and had managed to modify the program so a significant number of those infected emerged as Maximals. After activation B'Boom, Bonecrusher, Optimus Minor, Ramulus, Snarl and Wolfang joined up lead by Razorbeast.
After the defeat of Magmatron's Predacons the united group of Maximals awaited rescue from Cybertron.
[edit] Dreamwave Productions
Bonecrusher would appear in the Dreamwave Productions' Transformers Summer Special. After Megatron's capture, Rattrap remembered the time when he was under attack by Dinobot's transmetal II clone while testing some digging equipment. His appeals to what was left of his former friend's personality proving ineffectual, he was astonished to be saved by the Maximals Bonecrusher, Optimus Minor and Wolfang. Although Rattrap was happy to discover new Maximals, the three oddly refused to go with him back to Maximal base.
[edit] Transformers: Armada
Bonecrusher was the name of a Mini-Con that transformed into a black missile truck. He was part of the Land Military Team. Bonecrusher was re-colored and re-released as Scattor, a member of the Night Attack Team
[edit] 2007 film
Bonecrusher, as he will appear in the upcoming film, will have this vehicle mode based on the Buffalo armored vehicle currently in service with the United States Military. The sighting of a large armored vehicle with an art design with the words "Bonecrusher" painted on the side confirms this.[1]
Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman described him as being very subservient to Megatron but he hates all the other Decepticons, and if someone attempts to befriend him, he will have nothing to do with them.
