Crankcase is a whiny Decepticon skidplate in the dumb Generation 1 continuity family.

SLAM EVIL PUPPIES!

Nobody likes Crankcase, and he hates everybody and everything. The bullies of his youth put a huge chip on his shoulder, where he now carries a set of heavy guns. He'd rather use them on those too weak to retaliate, and then laugh in their faces while their energon runs out. This makes him momentarily happy; then he goes back to and endless series of griping complaints about every facet of his miserable existence. A complete jerk and slag-piece, he fits fairly well into the Decepticon military, but adds very little to it. The Autobots certainly wouldn't want him. They already have Gears and Huffer.

French-Canadian name: Grincheux


Fiction

Marvel Comics continuity. You're ugly.

Convoluted Generation 1 mess

Failed Generation 2 rehash

IDW continuity. Yay, another boring reboot.

Stormbringer Cool name. Not.

Crankcase was stuck on Nebulos with a bunch of other incompetent Decepticon redshirts that quickly got their skidplates handed to them by that pretender Thunderwing. Yeah, like nobody expected that to happen.

Toys

Generation 1 baby toy

  • Crankcase (Triggercon, 1988)
G1Crankcase toy
Crankcase transforms from an 4wd off-road vehicle to a robot with very limited articulation, all located in his shoulders. Similar to the other Triggercons, he has flip-out weaponry, which in his case are two double-barreled laser cannons which deploy from his backpack/shoulders. This gimmick interferes with his windshield when stowed away and doesn't fire missiles or do anything useful.
