Skullcruncher
From Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki
- Skullcruncher is a Decepticon Headmaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Skullcruncher is both slow on his feet and slow on his wits. He has a nasty habit of grinding his teeth before attacking his foes, making a noise so loud and obnoxious it tips the enemy Autobots off to his whereabouts instantly. Because of this personality defect, few Decepticons wish to be partnered anywhere near him.
What Skullcruncher does do efficiently is eat. While he thinks they taste rather yucky, Skullcruncher will gleefully scarf down as many Autobots as he can during battle, often ceasing to fight until he's finished chewing his meal. He wouldn't want to choke or anything.
Skullcruncher is binary-bonded to the Nebulon Grax.

- Skullcruncher transforms into a green and pink robotic crocodile, at least according to his packaging, his head implies he's actually an aligator. Skullcruncher includes one of the most bizarre alt-mode cockpits among the Headmasters for his partner Grax, a small molded seat at the back of his alt-mode mouth below the large canopy that serves as this mode's eyes, his entire upper jaw serving as the hatch to access it.
