Bonecrusher (Universe Ultra)

Bonecrusher is a Decepticon from 2001 Robots in Disguise continuity family (via the 2003 Universe toyline).

He'll crush your bones. For serious.

Bonecrusher is one of four Decepticons who combine into the mighty Devastator. Bonecrusher forms the chest and head of the massive destruction machine. As the shortest and weakest member of the team, he hates anything taller than himself. That includes, and is not limited to, his fellow Constructicons, his leader, and even Devastator (of which he forms the central component).

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

In Viron 704.31 Epsilon, Bonecrusher was created when Build Boy was reformatted by Megazarak's Robo-Smasher. The team was ego-wiped and implanted with shell programs drawn from old Predacon personality components. On the eve of an important battle, members of both sides of the war, including the Constructicons, were snatched away by Unicron to participate in the Universe War. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/30

Universe (2003)

• Bonecrusher & Scavenger (Ultra Class 2-pack, 2006)

• Accessories: Grill-blaster
• Known designers: Marcelo Matere (packaging artist)

A redeco of Robots in Disguise Wedge, Bonecrusher transforms into a bulldozer. His vehicle-mode grill/pistons disconnects to form a very wide double-barreled blaster. He forms the main torso of Constructicon Devastator, using the grill-blaster as a crotch-plate.

This set was originally slated to be available as part of the Universe line's general retail Ultra assortment, but the sudden discontinuation of Universe as a general retail line resulted in a large amount of already produced sets taking up space in one of Hasbro's warehouses. Hasbro eventually struck a deal with Target, who agreed to pick up this set as an exclusive, along with the two other canceled Universe Ultra two-packs of Hightower/Long Haul and Overbite/Repugnus.
