Bonecrusher (Movie)

The name or term Bonecrusher refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Bonecrusher (disambiguation).

Bonecrusher is a Decepticon from the live-action movie continuity family.

He was a sk8ter boi, she said see ya later boy. Conveniently enough, Bonecrusher really hates that song

Bonecrusher is a Transformer that can be described with one word: Hate. While other Decepticons get by on greed, ambition, or just their fondness for dispensing chaos, Bonecrusher is fueled by sheer, unrelenting hate. He hates everyone and everything, be they Autobot, Decepticon, or anything in-between—he even hates himself, revolted by his misshapen, hunchbacked robot mode, which he considers a reflection of all the ugliness and malice inside himself. The only thing Bonecrusher has respect for is Megatron and Blackout's hate for other Autobots. This full force of this vicious cycle of hatred finds release in explosive frenzied bursts of psychotic brutality, as Bonecrusher takes out the full force of his bitterness and self-loathing on anyone who looks at him sideways. He hates that. He also hates Megatron, but would hate being terminated (literally) by the Decepticon leader more, so, he sticks around.

On Cybertron, Bonecrusher was actually quite a skilled tactician—dedicated to the art of war, a fast thinker who could plough into battle while others were still mapping out strategy, and, most importantly in Megatron's eyes, a masterfully dirty fighter. However, Bonecrusher's skills left him consigned to a supervisory position and kept him off the battlefield, which, of course, he hated. Naturally, this only helped to increase his already epic levels of frustration and misery at his lot in life, until he became what he is today. So intensely pent-up that he is willing to take on an opponent of any size (The bigger the better!), Bonecrusher wouldn't hesitate to confront Optimus Prime head on (or off), if he could. Bonecrusher somehow came back and severely injures Arcee in Revenege of the Fallen and was killed again by Ironhide.

"Let it die. And you with it."

―Bonecrusher to Barricade about Cybertron's death

Hungarian name: Csonttörő

Chinese name (Taiwan): Hǔei-mìeh Chě (毀滅者, "Annihilator" or "Devastator"... uh-oh...)

Fiction

Ghosts of Yesterday

Bonecrusher was aboard the crew of the Nemesis, led by Starscream, who were searching for Megatron, who was lost thousands of years ago, along with the All Spark. He hated the Nemesis, but would hate trying to walk home more. He also hated the All Spark, but Megatron wanted it, so he decided not to complain. Finally, he hated Starscream, but all the other Decepticons do as well, making it something he has in common with his fellow Decepticons.

When Starscream left to go destroy an alien vessel, Bonecrusher eagerly joined Blackout's plan to attack the Ark against Starscream's orders, as there was nothing else to attack. Bypassing Optimus Prime, he headed straight for the Ark. However, Jazz and Ironhide were waiting, and unleashed hell upon him. He hated that. When Blackout ordered a withdrawal, Bonecrusher reluctantly complied. He hates retreating.

Shortly afterwards, Barricade picked Bonecrusher to lead another assault on the Ark. His only response to the command was a growl, but he dislikes being in charge, as his only strategy in combat is to violently charge the enemy and rip them apart with his bare hands. Everyone else uses their stupid guns, and Bonecrusher is a terrible shot. After Blackout had his exhaust port handed to him for challenging Starscream, Bonecrusher had to drag him back to the Nemesis. Bonecrusher would have preferred to leave him to rot. During the subsequent fight, Bonecrusher has to fight Ironhide, and managed to dent his armor. However, Bonecrusher does demand answers from Starscream when Blackout demands information on why the Decepticon leader wanted to destroy the alien ship, cause damn it, even Bonecrusher needs reasons to kill (well, not really, he was just getting fed up with Starscream). Bonecrusher was forced to drag Starscream back to the Nemesis when he was injured by the alien ship. He hates being a courier. Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday

Titan Magazines

Bonecrusher is known and has horrified Autobots for never giving up. He almost killed Jazz once and pursued him and his comrade Clocker for ages - because Bonecrusher DESPISES nice-looking shiny robots (or nice-looking anythings) and deliberately destroys them. As he says, "I figure, why should they look so nice... when I look like this!", showing he hates even himself. Clocker covered Jazz's retreat and embaressed himself by trying to fight Bonecrusher, who laughed at this and wripped him to shreds. Transformers Comic issue 6

In an alternate reality where the Decepticons won, Bonecrusher was surprisingly still alive and is the head of security at the Decepticon's All Spark holding facility. Although he's happy that he has his arm and head reattached, he is melancholy for having this job, as he's just a glorified drone director, and not able to kill anything himself. Thus, when he learned that Ironhide and Ratchet were trying to get into the facility, he decided to let the two Autobot infiltrators in, just so he could personally confront and destroyed them. So he might not like his job. { Hint.} Transformers Comic issue 11 His fists hated on Ironhide's face before Ratchet stepped in, tearing the Decepticon up with offensive weaponry. Arcee's team arrived to take out the Swindles, leaving Ironhide and Ratchet free to bash up Bonecrusher Transformers Comic issue 12; you'd think he'd hate this and want it to stop, but when the Autobots got pinned down by Payload drone fire, Bonecrusher tore apart his own troops to reach and kill the Autobots. He fought Ironhide again and this time lost, and may have been blown up with the All Spark. (He hates this ambiguity} Transformers Comic issue 13 He then crawled from the base, vowing to massacre the Autobots.

Transformers Movie Prequel

Bonecrusher's pre-Earth body. Bonecrusher hates retro-designs.

Bonecrusher was a member of Starscream's unit that was keeping Optimus Prime's reinforcements out of Tyger Pax. When Brawl arrived with news of Megatron and the All Spark, Bonecrusher insisted that they move on as they had already killed all the Autobots in the area. He then demanded that Brawl take them to Megatron or he would kill them all. Witnessing the launch of the All Spark, Barricade commented that Cybertron would die, but Bonecrusher replied that they should let it die, and that Barricade should join it in death. After Starscream and Blackout settled their differences, the group headed after Megatron.

The Decepticons made planetfall on Earth in Afghanistan, quickly attracting the attention of a nearby US military base, which sent out an armoured personnel carrier to investigate. Bonecrusher declared his satisfaction in finally having something to kill, but this chance was snatched away when Wreckage scanned the vehicle and destroyed it. He hated when that happened. He swore to rip Wreckage in half with his hands, but decided to later just blow his cover. Hitting the US airbase, Bonecrusher easily killed the humans [ which he loved to do] before scanning a Buffalo M.P.C.V [mine-clearance vehicle]. Bonecrusher hated the notion of "disguise", but hated standing out more. It evened out. After scanning, he complained that there weren't enough lifeforms to kill. Planetfall

Transformers The Game

Voice actor: Daniel Riordan

Note: Bonecrusher only appears in the Decepticon campaign of the game, and as a non-playable character t'boot on the console. It's just as well, though. He would've hated being playable.

Bonecrusher hates that stupid hasbro cant make him tall.

While hiding in a military base, Bonecrusher came under attack by the humans twice, and required assistance from Starscream to escape which sucked because he could easily have destroyed the humans and their pitiful machines. He hates needing help from people, especially from people he hates. He is another one of those guys who mysteriously disappeared at one point or another in the Decepticon campaign.

He is playable on the PSP multiplay version of the game. COOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!

Bonecrusher hates not knowing what his fate was in the game, and to that end, not being playable in the main console games.

Voice actor: Jimmie Wood (English)

Megatron and Frenzy get all those lines and all I got is a slaggin' three words. I hate that.

Bonecrusher was hiding out in the motor pool of a military base when he received a communique from Starscream ordering the Decepticons to to mobilize and converge on the location of the All Spark. His core lit up with anticipation, as the words rushed through his ears. Leaving the base, he reported that he was "rolling" out. Sometime after this, he rendezvoused with Barricade and Devastator, and the three Decepticons headed off together to intercept the Autobots and their human allies who had the All Spark in their possession.

This is the best look you're ever going to get at Bonecrusher's face (of HATE). You have been warned.

Devastator wandered off somewhere, so Bonecrusher and Barricade continued their pursuit on the freeway. Barricade activated his sirens to clear the traffic and allow them more maneuvering room. Unsatisfied with Barricade's less conspicuous method, and since he despised waiting in rush-hour traffic, Bonecrusher, with his strength, used his mine-scoop to flip cars out of his way (He kinda enjoyed that). Surprisingly, the Autobots didn't find this out of the ordinary,[{Retards}, he thought,] and only reacted when ladiesman217 recognized Barricade and warned the Autobots. Optimus Prime, Ironhide, and Ratchet aligned to block the Decepticons from Bumblebee, who had the All Spark and the fleshlings.

[[Image:Big_fight.jpg|left|thumb|Bonecrusher loves to watch things burn. It's one of his specialties. After Barricade pulled over to the side of the road, Bonecrusher converted while still moving and skated towards the Autobots.Ahh,Prime he thought. I'll grind you to dust. Optimus Prime transformed and slid into position to block his path. Seeing the Autobot he really hated (and that's saying a lot), Bonecrusher smashed through a bus (it irked him), and brutally football style tackled Optimus Prime, shoving him off an overpass, tumbling and falling off the edge, dragging the Autobot leader down with him.

Thus began Bonecrusher's hatred of Prime's Keyblade.

When they landed, he sucker-punched Optimus Prime,[ Take that he "roars"] who then hits Bonecrusher so hard one of the Decepticon's optics popped free from its socket (he liked that eye... well, no, he didn't; he just hated not having it more.) The two played a little cat-and-mouse along the overpasses. After Prime jumped down to ground level, Bonecrusher swung his claw wildly at the Autobot leader, all the while screaming incoherently.Die! HUUAAH! AHH! This gave Optimus the opportunity he needed to get his sword ready... which the Autobot leader used to cleave Bonecrusher's right arm and run through the Decepticon's neck, nearly severing it. Optimus then wrenched Bonecrusher's head from its neck and tossed it aside, making his chances of doing just about anything zero.

Legends Class toys

• Autobot Jazz vs. Bonecrusher (Legends multi-pack, 2007)

Sure Bonecrusher is smaller, that just means his hate is extra-concentrated.

As part of the AllSpark Battles refresh of the Movie toyline, a Legends-class Jazz with altered paint applications is repacked in a Versus two-pack with an all-new Legends class figure of Bonecrusher. In Europe and New Zealand, he was packaged individually. This figure features a rotatable claw on the right side of the vehicle and has four rolling wheels instead of six(the last two wheels don't spin like the spare tyres, Bonecrusher really hates that). Bonecrusher also hates being packed in with an Autobot.

• Bonecrusher (Legends, 2008)

An individually packaged release of the Legends class toy, released in Europe and New Zealand.

Deluxe Class toys

• Bonecrusher (Deluxe, 2007)

Japanese ID Number: MD-09

[[Image:moviebonecrushertoy.jpg|left|thumb|The name's doomed to be nothing but bulldozers or buffaloes. And he hates that.]]

Bonecrusher transforms into a Buffalo mine-protected vehicle, with an articulated "mine-fork" good for removing mines, cars, other Transformers, or unsuspecting buildings from his path. The fork can change from its packaged "Grabber claw" configuration into a more fork/shovel like configuration, a fact not stated on the instructions. He has six rolling wheels in this mode, and two sculpted, non-functional spare wheels.

In robot mode he has elements resembling both his 2005 design and the final design used in the movie, though a major deviation to both designs is that the entire front shell halves of the vehicle mode are mounted upon his arms. His arms have limited articulation due to this kibble, but can extend out into really long arms. His legs fare better, with ball jointed hips, swivel knees and ankles, but his hips can often detach from the codpiece holding them together. The mine-fork splits to form a grabber-claw, which can snap onto victims with a geared slider Automorph mechanism. He is surprisingly okay with these little tools of death. As a side-note, his head pops off very easily; allowing you to recreate his big moment from the movie.

He is named "Bonescrusher" on the Canadian cross-sell. Guess how Bonecrusher feels about that little mispelling.

• Deluxe three-pack (Costco exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

This Costco exclusive three-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe Class Bonecrusher together with equally unchanged Deluxe Class Decepticon Brawl and Autobot Jazz toys. It also comes with a nifty poster depicting all three toys in a standoff scene. Not so nifty is that the box accidentally places Brawl and Bonecrusher's bios underneath each other.

• Jungle Bonecrusher (Deluxe, 2008)

The living definition of a Mean Green Fighting Machine. Bonecrusher, oddly enough, likes cliches.

Finally, the big guy gets a redeco, in deep forest green and olive green, as part of the "All Spark Power" refresh line. It's not easy being green, and he hates that. He also hates redecos, slavish or not. He also hates quality control, and fans who complain that the claw arm now has a habit of popping off with little force, while the original did not. Bonecrusher hates this. Reviewer Benson Yee pointed out that this interferes with the automorph trick, as the arm can now pop off while sliding that lever. It's ovbious by now how he feels about Ben Yee, swivel joints, quality control, cars addicted to JaAm, sore shoulders (& possibly his own shoulders as well), ball joints, JaAm, etc... He at Least has his dignity and respect, and is a heck of a lot cooler, colorwise, of course, and still rocks.

Attacktix

• Transformers Tournament Set (2007)

So many people to crush, so little time. (Bonecrusher hates having little time to crush)

Available exclusively in this set, this Attacktix playing piece of Bonecrusher is funnily enough one of the most accurate pieces of merchandise he has. The set also includes unique playing pieces of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee. Bonecrusher hates the fact that everybody else has guns, and he has to use a claw.

Proceed on your way to oblivion. This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

Merchandise

Robot Heroes

• Ironhide vs Bonecrusher (2007)

Bonecrusher is actually pretty glad that he doesn't come with sword-wielding RH Prime. Too bad he also hates Ironhide.

Bonecrusher comes packaged with the impressively-armed Ironhide. He is depicted lunging forward on his roller-skate feet, presumably to deliver an extremely enthusiastic hug. This figurine is notorious for not actually being able to stand up on its feet very well, usually requiring one of its hands to be used for balance. Also, he's got some kind of a sneering grin, making him look almost happy, even if it's an evil happy.

Bonecrusher really, REALLY hates his Robot Heroes toy.

Trivia

*Giant claw and Decepticon insignia not included with the real Buffalo.* Bonecrusher hates those disclaimers.

• The real Buffalo mine-sweeping vehicle hasn't in fact, such a huge claw. It is only 14 inches (35 cm) wide. The image that inspired Bonecrusher's design was actually a Photoshopped image put on the official Force Protection company's site to make it look more impressive[1]. A 10-foot-wide (3 m) appliance had to be fixed on Bonecrusher's arm for the movie. He hated that.[2]

• Force Protection really, really loves Bonecrusher and that he has picked their Buffalo as its alt mode. They are actually quite proud of it.[3] Bonecrusher is very proud about that.
• Bonecrusher from the Beast Wars series transforms into a buffalo. An interesting choice given that the vehicle he transforms into in the movie is called the "Buffalo" as well. Oh, he hates that too, especially because the BW guy is a Maximal, which are like the Autobots, which he hates a lot.

• Bonecrusher's toy was used as a prop for a CNN Headline News report demonstrating the real Buffalo vehicle's mine-sweeping arm.

• At various points during his fight with Optimus Prime, Bonecrusher emits some garbled roars that might be English, possibly "Argh!". However, there is little agreement among viewers as to what he might be saying, and indeed, whether he even said anything at all. The subtitles and closed captions for the film do not identify any dialogue, just labelling it as "roaring". Maybe it could just be that he hates speaking? Someone should really ask Jimmie Wood. (Bonecrusher hates that no one understands him.) Bonecrusher says, "Bloody, YEAH", right before getting beheaded. It is just hard to understand because of the music, other sound effects, etc. But he's still radical.
• Bonecrusher is Michael Bay's favorite character from the film, despite his limited screentime—so much so that Bay named his new dog after him. Although the Decepticons are generally cat people, Bonecrusher hates cats, so he is quite flattered. He still hates Bay for the small screen time he gets, though.
• Bonecrusher is never discussed or mentioned in the Transformers: The Movie Guide. He hates that. Then again, he hates kids reading about him, so it balances out.
• According to the DVD commentary, Bonecrusher's sequences were particularly difficult for ILM to do at first. The solution came from videotaping employees rollerblading at speed in the parking lot, and a pair of fighting experts going through the motions wanted for Bonecrusher and Prime, then using that footage as references. And Bonecrusher hates it when nobody knows how he fights.
• Apparently, since Bonecrusher is just a bit shorter than Optimus Prime, and Optimus Prime is (supposedly) just a bit taller than Starscream, Bonecrusher is the same size as Screamer...yet the picture above seems to contradict this. Wonder what he feels about nobody knowing his size? Actually, if Optimus is 60 some feet tall, Bonecrusher would have to be that same height, because on the movie, Bonecrusher easily and brutally tackles Optimus, so he's tall, and doesn't need a fork to catch up. HAHAHAHAHA!
• As seen in the "A Gathering Force" level of the game, if one destroys all the turrets holding Bonecrusher too fast, he will reach the final checkpoint before Brawl does. Unfortunately for him, the turrets can't take damage unless Brawl transforms first, so you can do nothing until Bonecrusher drops dead. Bonecrusher hates poor bug testing.
• Even though he is not brought back in Revenge of the Fallen, a Bonecrusher lookalike is seen during the Decepticon attack in Egypt. Bonecrusher hates clones.
• Apparently Frenzy can survive decapitation whereas Bonecrusher cannot. Noooooo, he can survive.
• Finally, Bonecrusher hates this page, especially all the hate jokes. And he hates you for laughing at it.
• No, he hates the previous adder above this addition. Anyway, he apparently has brothers, because another Bonecrusher is seen blowing Arcee apart{ YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!} in the Revenge of the Fallen movie with a cannon, and another is seen driving in M.P.C.V. mode to fight during the final battle in Egypt. He hates people stealing his image.
• What Bonecrusher REALLY hates is that the word 'hate' is used over seventy times on this page. Who wouldn't hate that?
