Berserker is a character introduced in the Transformers: The Last Knight movie. Berserker was a member of the Decepticons, and initially was going to be part of Megatron's crew for the film. His chest has been painted on with a red "X" shape, and his shoulder spikes have much more red as well.
Personality & Character[]
Berserker is a seething ball of destructive energy, his lust for violence constant and irrepressible. Anyone and anything that gets in his way is torn to shreds, leading his allies and enemies alike to give him as wide a berth as possible.
By some miracle, the humans captured him and he's been constantly struggling against his restraints, spitting out the most graphic threats imaginable, which have led to stronger restraints, which make Berserker even more angry...and the cycle continues. Naturally, Megatron wants this maniac back in his ranks, but he knows it's a tall order.
History[]
According to T.R.F. files, Berserker is one of the most dangerous decepticons to ever walk the earth. This decepticon was responsible for the disappearance and murder of several people in a small Michigan town, this decepticon was reported by a family of farmers who spotted a metal creature near the farm fields, and knowing what happened in Chicago these They were alarmed so they decided to speak to the TRF to investigate, Commander Santos, Colonel William Lennox and them team went after Berserker's tracks which led them to a cave where the decepticon took refuge, when entering the cave they found that a lot of corpses of both humans and autobots, both of which were sucked out of their bodily fluids. When Santos, Lennox and them team were attacked by the Decepticon Berseker, they noticed that his nature was wild and that around his body he had marks which were from the blood of his victims. When Berserker was captured, he was transferred to a maximum security prison where he was in the custody of the TRF.
Berserker was among the Decepticons in T.R.F.'s custody. When T.R.F. was negotiating with Megatron, Megatron requested Berserker be one of the Decepticons released from custody to be part of his "crew". T.R.F. declined, claiming Berserker was far too dangerous to be released, so Megatron settled on Onslaught instead. The Last Knight
It is unknown if the U.S. government destroyed Berserker after saving the world by the Autobots like all other Decepticons in prison.
Toys[]
Deluxe Class[]
Released in 2017, he comes with two clubs which are identical to Crankcase's weapons. His alt mode is a Chevrolet Suburban. His shoulder blades are on ball joints, while his feet can snap into position, giving him a crouched stance while his hip can fold up with his legs, all in all to help with his transformation scheme. This toy is also what some people may call a shellformer. Berserker comes with two spiky clubs, which closely resemble the ones that Crankcase and Crowbar used in Transformers: Dark of the Moon; Berserker never uses these weapons in the film.

Notes & Trivia[]
- The Berserker shares a surprisingly identical appearance with Crankcase, much like his real design. This mold is completely unique to Berserker's toy, as Crankcase even in later toylines did not receive a repainted version.
