"So! They laugh at my boner, will they?! I'll show them! I'll show them how many boners the Joker can make!"

Bonecrusher finds beauty in rubble-strewn wastelands and longs to transform pretty much any location he happens across into one. Moreover, he makes demolition into a wild performance art. He loves to show off his destructive talents for his fellow Decepticons. Deep down, his destruction is really a perfectionism that cannot tolerate anything that he views as flawed, which includes the Autobots. Megatron values the fear and destruction Bonecrusher creates as much as the resources harvested in his wake. Now if he could just refrain from destroying buildings the Decepticons actually need...

Bonecrusher combines with his fellow Constructicons to form Devastator.

Demolition is my business, and business is good.

Millions of years ago on Cybertron, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons built Megatron. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4 At the time Megatron was building his army, they had also constructed Crystal City and were friends with Omega Supreme. Megatron, wanting their constructicons skills on his side, reprogrammed them to serve him using the Robosmasher. The Secret of Omega Supreme

"How can he force you into a boner?"
"I don't know. But whatever it is, it isn't good, that's for sure!"

Megatron built Bonecrusher, who, with his fellow Constructicons, would attempt to deal with Teletraan I, only to be thwarted by the Dinobots. Bonecrusher would then reveal the Constructicons' ability to combine by forming Devastator, which was blasted by Optimus Prime into lava. Heavy Metal War Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons would later appear in New York City, bringing down the Empire State Building and then re-erecting it as a Cybertronian fortress.

Before a second Constructicon device could be used to destroy the powerless Autobots stuck in vehicle mode, they were rescued and Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons were defeated by the Transfixatron. The Autobot Run While trying to dig to the Earth's core, Bonecrusher got a dominator disk stuck on him so that when he helped form Devastator, the combiner was brought under Autobot control. After Devastator sealed the Decepticons in a tunnel and helped rebuild some of the Autobot base, Megatron then revealed he knew of the Autobot plan to take control of the Constructicons, and deactivated the disks. After a fight for control, Bonecrusher, as Devastator, goes berserk. After a joint Autobot/Decepticon effort, Devastator was brought under Decepticon control and helped to save the day. The Core

"And I'm worried about the boner he's readying for you!"

Bonecrusher, led by Scrapper, convinced Hoist and Grapple that they wanted to aid the two Autobots in a construction project to build a solar tower. (It went poorly at first, and Bonecrusher offering to offline the two Autobots did not help.) While building the tower, they explained to Megatron (at gunpoint) that they were still loyal to him, and once the tower was built, they would turn it over to him. Once the tower is complete, they did just that. ...Then he and the other Constructicons, as Devastator, wrecked it. The Master Builders He was later owned by the Autobots.

"You committed a boner, Joker!"

Present at the Battle of Autobot City, Bonecrusher helped to breach the Autobot defenses as part of Devastator, who withstood an Autobot attack. After a second attack by the Dinobots, Bonecrusher fled aboard Astrotrain with the other Decepticons. When the Triple-Changer requested that his passengers jettison some weight, it was Bonecrusher who suggested a "survival of the fittest" approach to determine who should be thrown out of the shuttle. As the battle over who should lead the Decepticons, Rumble and Frenzy prevented Devastator from proving his superiority. Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons made it back to Cybertron and were present for Starscream's coronation as Decepticon leader. After a fanfare and the death of Starscream at the hands (or cannon) of Galvatron, Bonecrusher and his fellow surviving Decepticons joined in the hunt for the Autobot Matrix of Leadership.

Bonecrusher’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series "Transformers: The Animated Movie" and the storybook "Transformers the Movie."

Scramble City

When the Decepticons learned of the Scramble City project being secretly assembled by the Autobots, Megatron sent his henchmen to interfere with their work. The Constructicons joined Starscream and his flying partners in an attack on the Autobots. Optimus Prime and a task force of Autobots held their position until Bonecrusher and the Constructicons inevitably joined forces into Devastator. The Aerialbots gave Devastator a good whippin', though, and the Decepticons retreated. Scramble City: Mobilization

Bonecrusher and the Constructicons were stationed on Earth in 2011, under the command of Sixshot. They attempted to prevent Ultra Magnus from sending reinforcements to Cybertron to help the Autobots fend off Galvatron's siege on Vector Sigma. Bonecrusher and his squad were ganging up on the Trainbots until Metroplex arrived and shooed them off with his superior firepower. Having failed to stop the Autobot reinforcements from departing, the Constructicons followed them to Cybertron. As Devastator, they tried to shoot Superion in the back, but Optimus Prime foiled their aim, making them hit Abominus instead.

Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons started constructing Trypticon on a small island paradise, destroying the flora and fauna in the process. When the Autobots found out, they sent Superion to put a stop to them, and the Constructicons responded by forming Devastator. Unfortunately, the newly activated Trypticon, who wanted the challenge of fighting Superion by himself, grabbed Devastator and threw him into the ocean. After all was said and done, the Autobots put Bonecrusher and the rest of the Constructicons to work, restoring the island to its former natural splendor. Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #6

The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers

In the year 2010, Bonecrusher participated in a Decepticon attack on the planet Feminia. He and his team merged into Devastator in order to battle alongside Bruticus and Menasor against their Autobot counterparts Superion, Defensor and Omega Supreme. The fight was fairly evenly matched until Galvatron called up his ace-in-the-hole, Predaking, whose power was unmatched by any of the Autobots... except for the Omnibots, who essentially tied Predaking's shoelaces together until he fell over, straight into Devastator and his chums, sending them all toppling to the ground and knocking them to bits.

Wings Universe

Wings Universe is based on the Generation 1 cartoon, but deviates from it in cosmetic ways and continuity points.

Nine million years ago, Bonecrusher was a member of the construction team that built Crystal City. It was during this project that he and his fellow Constructicons were introduced to Omega Supreme. Hauler's Wings of Honor profile The Constructicons rose to prominence thanks to their immense architectural skills, and formed their own faction under the leadership of Hook. They were forced to align themselves with the Decepticons in order to maintain access to Kaon's smelting pools, which granted him access to the raw building material they needed to continue their work. Unhappy with this arrangement, seven renegade Constructicons went underground, building Megatron in an attempt to take power for themselves. Unfortunately for them, Megatron turned on them and formed his own group of Decepticons, eventually brainwashing Bonecrusher and the others into his service with the Robo-Smasher. Devastator's Wings of Honor profile Among their first acts as Decepticons, the Constructicons destroyed Crystal City. Hauler's Wings of Honor profile

Bonecrusher was part of Hook's team when Megatron ordered the creation of Devastator. Battle Lines, Part 5 During the third Cybertronian war, the Constructicons were ambushed at Elevation Recostalus by a group of Autobots including Hauler and Erector, who disabled them before they could form Devastator. The group remained offline until 1984, when Megatron rebuilt them on Earth. Transformers I.Q. last issue review

"It is well that I am ready to trick him into his boner!"

Shortly after assuming control of the Decepticons, Shockwave raided a Blackrock Aerospace Assembly Plant in order to co-opt its construction facilities for his own purposes. Using the purloined power of his prisoner, Optimus Prime, Shockwave fed energy from the Creation Matrix into the brain modules of his new creations — Bonecrusher and the Constructicons. Their first mission was to work with Soundwave and convert a human radio-telescope into a broadcasting antenna for contacting their homeworld of Cybertron. The Constructicons paused at a local truck stop to salvage the trucks and other machinery to use as raw materials in their project, earning them the wrath of the mighty Bomber Bill, trucker extraordinaire. At the site of the radio-telescope, the Constructicons began their work: Bonecrusher contributed to the DE-struction part of the project, smashing the trucks into pieces so that his more artistically inclined partners could re-engineer them as necessary. As Bomber Bill arrived with a cavalry of Autobots, Soundwave instructed the Constructicons to combine into the mighty Devastator and crush the opposition. Devastator's limited processing ability kept him from efficiently targeting multiple opponents, however, giving Bomber Bill and Huffer a chance to damage the antenna. Soundwave and the Constructicons were forced into a retreat. The Next Best Thing to Being There!

Bonecrusher and his comrades spent the next several months working on their gestalt coordination, refining Devastator to act as a smooth (if slow) killing machine. Their next mission was to capture the human known as Buster Witwicky, who had come to Shockwave's attention. They found him attending a demolition derby in Oregon, and Bonecrusher quickly remarked that "this looks like my sort'a place!" Their kidnapping attempt was interrupted by Buster's human friends, Ironhide and the Autobots. Faced with the enemy, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons combined into Devastator once more, and fought off the Autobots while Soundwave performed a mind-scan on Buster. After uncovering some valuable information, Soundwave called off the attack, and the Constructicons returned to base. Devastation Derby!

"Gotham City will rue the day it mentioned the word boner!"

The next Decepticon base of operations was a coal strip mine in the Powder River Basin of eastern Wyoming, chosen rather ad hoc when Megatron raided the location and then began squatting there after driving off the Autobots and American military. Shockwave summoned the Constructicons to fortify their position more strategically, and the Decepticon engineers installed a ring of defensive weapons and barriers around the rim of the basin. They also lent their strength as Devastator to the defenses, and drove off an Autobot strike unit soon after arriving in Wyoming. Command Performances!

Bonecrusher and the Constructicons remained available for the Decepticon cause. On one occasion, they battled the Dinobots alongside Megatron and Soundwave. Bonecrusher and Long Haul double-teamed Sludge, and eventually brought him down with sheer firepower. As he was celebrating his victory, however, Bonecrusher was blindsided by the mechanoid known as Centurion, and sent flying. The tide of battle turned when Soundwave destroyed the footage Meadows and her colleagues had already collected, and threatened to destroy the humans if they ever dug into the Decepticons' affairs again. Their mission accomplished, Bonecrusher and his teammates abandoned their skirmish with the Dinobots. In the National Interest

The Constructicons were sent into frigid Yukon territory to work on a secret project. They were discovered by Jazz and Hoist, only for the two Autobots to accidentally betray their presence with an accidental weapons discharge. The Constructicons chased down the interlopers, blasting at them through a nearby forest. During the chase, they merged into Devastator in an attempt to overtake the pair. While in this form, they were duped into blasting a hydro-electric dam. Realizing what was coming, the Constructicons only had time enough to separate before the concrete structure collapsed, unleashing a torrent of water. The Constructicons were submerged in the flood, allowing the Autobots to escape. The Mission

On another occasion, the future Decepticon known as Galvatron forced Bonecrusher and the Constructicons into building a massive energy cannon for his plans. Target: 2006

Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons were called upon to defend the Decepticons' base in the Florida Keys from a joint attack by G.I. Joe, Cobra, and the Autobots. Forming Devastator once again, they brawled with Superion until a blast from Superion's rifle caused a malfunction in Devastator's coupling links and he broke up into his components. ...All Fall Down!

Sometime later, after Ratbat assumed command of the Decepticons, he had the Constructicons raid a building site in downtown Atlanta, Georgia for raw materials such as girders. Toy Soldiers! Later, when the Decepticons staged an all-out attack on the Autobots of the Ark and Steelhaven, who had landed on the moon to settle a personal dispute. While the majority of the Decepticon forces kept the Autobots busy with mayhem and carnage, Bonecrusher led the Constructicons in a raid on the Ark itself, recovering the deactivated bodies of several of their fellow Decepticons, captured months earlier while battling Omega Supreme. Totaled!

Movie future timeline
Starscream constructicons the planet-eater.jpg

When Megatron launched an all-out offensive against Autobot City in the year 2005, Bonecrusher was among the troops who besieged the outpost. He and the other Constructicons combined into Devastator at Megatron's command to breach Autobot City's outer defenses. When the Decepticons were eventually forced to retreat inside Astrotrain, the Constructicons were relatively unscathed from the battle. As such, they voted that all injured Transformers be jettisoned when Astrotrain complained he didn't have the energy necessary to carry them all back to Cybertron. The Planet-Eater!

Marvel Generation 2 comic

Bonecrusher was with the Decepticons when Bludgeon led an assault on the planet Earth, in an attempt to draw out Optimus Prime, and so naturally he fell back under Megatron's control when the old Decepticon commander took over. He was witness to Megatron beating Optimus Prime near death to pilfer the Creation Matrix's energies from the Autobot. Grimlock then arrived with reinforcements to rescue his commander, and the Decepticons retreated rather than risk their means of bringing a new Decepticon army to life. The Gathering Darkness

When the interdimensional interloper Landquake came to be their captive, the Decepticons discovered that their prisoner was emitting an energy wavelength similar to a power source detected in South America. Megatron led a team to investigate, Bonecrusher among them. Crossing Over, Part 2 Upon their arrival, Megatron had the Constructicons form Devastator to stave off the inevitable Autobot interference. Crossing Over: Part 3 The combiner was broken apart by Grimlock, and despite their attempts to simply dogpile their opponent, the Constructicons were bested by the Dinobot. Grimlock pitched Bonecrusher through the air, sending him crashing into Megatron while he clashed against Optimus. Crossing Over: Part 5 Megatron swatted Bonecrusher away to continue his duel with his old foe, but was eventually forced to call for a retreat of his troops. Crossing Over: Part 6

Bonecrusher was stationed in Megatron's throne room when the Decepticon leader was met, and then attacked by, Bug Bite. The visitor took control of Bonecrusher's mind with a modified cerebro-shell, but the device was disabled by an Autobot jamming device. What followed was an all-out brawl between the Autobots, the Decepticons loyal to Megatron, and those loyal to Bludgeon that Bug Bite had brought along. Bonecrusher did not fare too well in his fight against Dreadwind, but the intruders were forced back nonetheless. Games of Deception

Galvatron Attacks

Marvel Storybooks continuity

Under the guise of the Global Corporation, Bonecrusher and his fellow Constructicons created sophisticated buildings all around the world. Within each building, however, was hidden a mechanism that would trap underground all within the structure. When the scheme was put into motion and the Autobots responded with an attack, Bonecrusher and his fellow Constructicons merged to become The Devastator. Though in this form, the Constructicons were able to overpower the Autobots, that changed when the Dinobots arrived. After Swoop had butchered the rest of the Constructicons, Bonecrusher was fused into a helpless mess with Long Haul by Grapple's welder rifle. Battle for Earth

Constructicons-ASW.jpeg

As Devastator, Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons stumbled upon Sunstreaker admiring his reflection in the wilderness, and managed to capture the vain Autobot. The group revealed their individual components to their prisoner once he was safely locked up within Decepticon headquarters. They rejoined forces to combat an Autobot rescue party that attempted to storm Decepticon base, and captured Slag, Sludge and Sideswipe as well, putting them in Sunstreaker's cell. Pleased with the development, Megatron informed Hook that he would be charged in rebuilding the captured Autobots as Decepticons. Bonecrusher interjected, hoping to be the one to be allowed to destroy the Autobots prior to their reconstruction. The two Constructicons began to squabble, prompting Megatron to break up the fight by promising them each an Autobot to destroy. The opportunity never came, however, as the Constructicons were once more prompted to combine into Devastator to contemplate an Autobot peace offering; a life-sized statue of the gestalt! The peace offering turned out to be an Autobot ruse, and reinforcement burst forth from within the statue. The Autobots forced Devastator to break up into his component pieces by thoroughly dividing his attention, and so Bonecrusher joined the fight against the Autobots as an individual. The Decepticons ultimately lost the battle to the Autobots. The Autobots' Secret Weapon

Shockwave led the Constructicons in an attack on a human village, intent on razing the town and building a fuel plant in its place. The Constructicons, blindly loyal to Shockwave, obeyed all his orders as he dispensed them. Little did they know, the Decepticons were being spied upon from orbit by the Autobot Cosmos. Cosmos relayed what was happening to his teammates, who rolled into action to put an end to the Decepticons' plot. Bonecrusher was attacked by Snarl, who sent him tumbling down a pit with a swift blow of his thagomizer. The rest of Bonecrusher's allies were soon made to join him in the pit, and the Decepticons had quick-drying cement poured over them to keep them in place, and out of further trouble. The Autobot Spy in the Sky

When the Decepticons learned that the Autobots had long ago lost a large shipment of Energon cubes at the Ark's original crash site, Galvatron ordered them to head to Mt. St. Hillary to uncover it. There, Bonecrusher and Scrapper used their alternate modes to dig up the site. As usual, Bonecrusher wound up buried in his own rubble. When the Autobots inevitably showed themselves, Bonecrusher joined the other Decepticons in fighting them. The brawl ended when Starscream scarfed down all of the Energon, and proceeded to pick a fight with Galvatron. The Lost Treasure of Cybertron

The following summarizes one or more multipath adventures. Details vary depending on the paths taken in-story. See the book's page for information on alternate paths.

In one possible scenario, the Constructicons were responsible for building the Decepticons’ command centre in the evil robots’ latest plot of taking over the Earth. They also were responsible for stocking Astrotrain with explosives and weapons before the Decepticon shuttle launched into space to further sabotage Earth's satellites.

In a different possible scenario, the Constructicons joined Galvatron on his campaign to retrieve an ancient cybertite sphere containing the secret of an ancient Autobot power-booster. Discovering that the sphere was within a sunken ship off the California coast, the Constructicons merged into Devastator in order to retrieve it. Autobot Alert!

Collection of the greatest boners of history.

Nine million years ago, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons helped Megatron create his world engine under Iacon, the means by which he would turn all of Cybertron into a mobile juggernaut, bringing his tyrannical message of "peace" to the galaxy at large. Construction was interrupted when Bonecrusher and Mixmaster came across Grimlock's commando unit spying on the Decepticons, however. The War Within #5 Grimlock personally disabled Bonecrusher while the rest of his unit, alongside Optimus Prime, managed to destroy the engine. The War Within #6

Later during the war, the Constructicons discovered a new means of transformation and combination, turning themselves into the awesome and terrifying Devastator. The technology was appropriated by the Autobots, and soon a half-dozen or so titanic combiners were in action on both sides. Their destructive potential proved to be too much for Cybertron's fragile mantle to handle, and so by the time of the Dark Ages the Crisis Intervention Accord set down new rules of warfare, prohibiting the combiner teams from operating together on any faction. They could remain an unaligned unit or join separate factions, but the risk of combiner warfare was too great. Unfortunately, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons eventually broke that agreement, allying themselves and Devastator with Ratbat's Ultracon faction. Escalation Their resulting battle with the unaligned Defensor devastated the Tagan Heights region of Cybertron, and very nearly triggered a chain reaction that would have destroyed the entire planet. Thankfully, the Devastator was defeated after the Protectobots electrocuted him, causing him to not only shut down, but also split into his component 'bots. Devastation

Although they were apparently not part of the original crew of the Nemesis, the Constructicons somehow became involved in the Autobot / Decepticon skirmish on Earth in the 1980s. Like the other Decepticons, they were captured and detained by the Autobots after roughly a decade of war, and would have been transported back to Cybertron if not for the sabotage of the Ark II. Bonecrusher and many other Decepticons were taken in by the human mercenary Lazarus, who attempted to reprogram their deactivated forms into remote-controlled weapons of mass destruction. He failed. Megatron regained control of his senses in 2002, and reawakened the Decepticons under Lazarus' dominion. Prime Directive #4 Combined as Devastator, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons caused significant damage to the city of San Francisco before being brought down by Optimus Prime himself. Prime Directive #5

After being repaired over the following months, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons were among the first Decepticons to swear fealty to Starscream after Megatron vanished in Tokyo in a flash of light. Merged as Devastator, they helped him declare his intentions in a desert battle with Sideswipe and the Air Force, and then moved on to Las Vegas. Starscream's plan was to convince Sin City's population to willingly accept him and the Decepticons as their new lords and masters. As part of the deception, he declared anyone not interested in his new order was free to leave the city, although the wily Decepticon cautioned that he could not protect them from anything they encountered beyond those limits. Bonecrusher was stationed at the city limits to terrorize anyone who attempted to flee, using cloaking technology and sleight-of-hand tricks to convince exiting motorists that the Constructicon was protecting them from some unseen but deadly force. Bonecrusher's tricks successfully convinced Paul and Janie Whitmore to turn back to Las Vegas, spreading word of the dangers they faced and the "aid" the Decepticon gave them.

When Grimlock, Prowl and Bumblebee invaded the city with a small military unit, the Constructicons came out to greet them. Bonecrusher was the first to battle Bumblebee and Prowl, and was infuriated when they made "left arm" jokes at his expense (apparently he's sensitive about being Devastator's southpaw). His cezium steel armor enabled Bonecrusher to stand up to the punishment both Autobots were dishing out, and the Constructicon was little more than dazed after Prowl expended his entire ammunition storage on Bonecrusher. Although he was eventually weakened by their combined assault, Bonecrusher held his own against both Autobots long enough for his fellow Constructicons to reach the site of the battle. Unfortunately for the Decepticons, Grimlock arrived just then as well. The Constructicons were forced to retreat before the Dinobot and his secret army of human-piloted assault helicopters. Bonecrusher's injuries were significant enough that Devastator's left arm appeared limp and nearly useless in another battle a few hours later. Hardwired

Megatron eventually returned to Earth, but Bonecrusher and the Constructicons owed Starscream for reconstructing them, and so remained loyal to him when the Decepticons split into two factions. Of course, this only meant they were among the first to be captured by the Keepers when those aliens took over Las Vegas and turned Starscream into their puppet. Trapped behind an impenetrable force dome, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons attempted to batter their way out as Devastator using sheer brute force, until Skywarp offered a better idea. Reconverting into their separate modes, the Constructicons dug a tunnel out beneath the force field, enabling Starscream's faction to join the final battle against the Keepers. Acting as Devastator, they were too far away from Optimus Prime and his Matrix-induced force shield when the American nuclear assault was dropped on the Keepers, and were blasted into pieces. Annihilation

The nuclear blast left Devastator fused into his singular robot mode, leaving him unable to split back into Bonecrusher and his other components. Eventually, Devastator fell into the Void along with Omega Sentinel in the final conflict with the Keepers, and was left in stasis lock, drifting in the vacuum of space, after the Sentinel destroyed the Keepers' power source and shattered the Void back into real space-time. The starship Bounty, on a secret space mission from Earth, came across Devastator's remains and planned to tow him back to Earth. Fusion

The pieces of Bonecrusher and the Constructicons fell under the control of Earth Defense Command, and were held in their Roswell facility for study. Generation 1 #0

The ruthless terrorist organization known as Cobra dug dozens of Autobots and Decepticons out of their four-million-year resting place and began rebuilding them into a Cobra-controlled army. However, with Wheeljack and Bumblebee's help, the mind-controlled Transformers were awakened, including Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #3

While eager to get back at their former captors, the Constructicons were ordered by Soundwave to protect the SPS Satellite controls from the Autobots and G.I. Joes that were assaulting Cobra Island. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #4 Upon arriving at the frontlines, Bonecrusher merged with his team, and Devastator managed to kill Hound before he was overwhelmed by the attackers and had his Bonecrusher arm blown off at the shoulder.

The Beast Within

During an all-out Decepticon offensive against the Autobots, Bonecrusher and his fellow Constructicons Long Haul, Mixmaster and Hook ganged up on Sideswipe. He and his fellow Constructicons were blown away by an explosion. Then, Bonecrusher joined with the other Constructicons to form Devastator in order to combat The Beast, the Dinobots’ combined form.

After Ratbat and the Senate began discontinuing all manual labor opportunities on Cybertron, automating the work formerly performed by Cybertronians, Bonecrusher and his construction crew found themselves out of a job. Searching for new challenges, these "Constructicons" hooked up with Megatron and the underground pit-fighting ring in Kaon. Since the combat was illegal, the gladiators could not operate out of a single arena at a set location: too much risk of being raided. Instead, the Constructicons were commissioned to create a new arena before each fight at a randomly chosen location. Using a combination of demolition, material fabrication, and surgically skilled construction engineering, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons would convert any and all scrap available into into a new arena for the gladiators and crowd to occupy. Megatron Origin #2 They also worked behind the scenes at the arena, repairing and upgrading damaged fighters. Megatron Origin #3 When Megatron's insurrection began, Bonecrusher and Mixmaster headed into the streets of Kaon to kill any opposition. Megatron Origin #4

When Megatron joined forces with Orion Pax's troops to overthrow Zeta Prime, Bonecrusher participated in their combined assault on the Citadel. Overthrown After Megatron's betrayal of Orion, the Constructicons watched Orion, now Optimus Prime, broadcast a message asking the people of Cybertron to help him fight the Decepticons. Broadcast As the war began in earnest between the Autobots and Decepticons, the Constructicons remained loyal followers of Megatron. At one point they were stationed on Varas Centralus alongside Swindle and Sky-Byte, where they committed some atrocity that was enough to cause Sky-Byte to abandon the Decepticon cause. A Better Tomorrow

I will take the greatest boners of all time and turn them into crimes!

In the modern era, Bonecrusher and his fellow Constructicons were summoned to Earth to assist Megatron in the conquest of the wretched little mudball. Having recently gained the ability to combine, the Constructicons made short work of the Autobot unit stationed on Earth. All Hail Megatron #7 Afterwards, the Decepticons attacked New York City, where Bonecrusher got to murder lots of confused humans. All Hail Megatron #1 As part of Devastator, he also helped cut the city off from the rest of the world by wrecking the underground tunnels leading to it. All Hail Megatron #2 Once the city was conquered, Bonecrusher was the only Constructicon seen listening to Megatron's victory speech. All Hail Megatron #4 Along with the rest of the Constructicons, Bonecrusher allied himself with Starscream when he tried to take leadership of the Decepticons. As Devastator, the Constructicons attacked Megatron, but failed to kill him due to the arrival of human jets. All Hail Megatron #10 Devastator fought the humans until the Autobots suddenly returned to the planet, at which point he duked it out with Omega Supreme instead. All Hail Megatron #11 The Constructicons lost the battle when Omega Supreme blasted a big hole in Devastator's chest. All Hail Megatron #12

See this picture? It shows a big boner of the modern vintage.

Megatron would later use space bridge technology built into in his new body to summon Bonecrusher and the rest of the Decepticons to him on Cybertron. To battle the Autobots, Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons combined into Devastator, but were defeated since the combiner's right leg was paralyzed due to combining with a dead Scrapper. They were soon mind-controlled by D-Void (via Galvatron) into combining with Galvatron's Sweep army and forming a huge monster. Kings Following the blasting apart of the monstrosity by Megatron and D-Void's defeat, the weakened Decepticons, including Bonecrusher, were taken captive by the Autobots, who kept them under control by planting explosive I/D chips in their heads. The Autonomy Lesson

(thumbnail)
How do you like my boner crimes, eh?

Bonecrusher was in on Ratbat's plan to turn the tables on the Autobots. The World & Everything in It When Ratbat was then mysteriously found dead, the Decepticons suspected foul play. Regardless, Bonecrusher and some other Constructicons helped the Autobots dig out victims of a mysterious explosion on Cybertron's surface. Stick Together Bonecrusher later labored in a Decepticon factory before joining forces with Bombshell, who was being chased by Prowl. The Constructicons beat up Blurr and fought with Arcee until Prowl showed up, threatening to detonate their I/D chips. They just taunted him since Ratbat had disabled their chips, but Prowl used a secret passcode to override the disabling, killing all the Constructicons... Devisive

...or so it seemed. In fact, Bombshell was controlling Prowl using a cerebro-shell, and recovered the Constructicons to the Black Room, where they were fully repaired and rebuilt according to Megatron's plan to form a new, modular version of Devastator, with the still-controlled Prowl as the first head. Before the Dawn After Bombshell was killed by Arcee, Devastator shut down briefly, before going on an uncontrolled rampage when Prowl bonded with the Constructicons over their shared hatred of Spike Witwicky. This lasted until Ironhide managed to break through to Prowl, meaning he wrestled enough control to cause Devastator to tear off his own head, spontaneously un-combining the gestalt. Shortly afterwards, Megatron attempted to reform the combiner, this time with himself as its head, but the well-timed activation of a stasis field secretly built into the Decepticon leader's spark casing by the late Wheeljack stopped the process in its tracks. Prowl then attempted to arrest the Constructicons, but a revolt from the "NAIL"s and an opportunistic power-grab by Starscream led to the Autobot and Decepticon armies both being thrown out of Iacon instead. Plan for Everything

Impressed by the terrible things they'd seen in Prowl's mind during their combination, the Constructicons joined up with the Autobots in the wilderness and had a brief scuffle with the Dinobots before they explained themselves and were accepted into the Autobot camp. After another scuffle, this time with Arcee, the team put their differences aside to go drinking the Dinobots. Second Exodus

When the Necrotitan attacked Iacon with a "death wave", the Constructicons were victims of the attack. They were cured from its effects when the newly arrivedMetroplex killed the undead Titan. Finis Temporis Bonecrusher and the others continued to follow their new idol Prowl around, praising him at every opportunity and cheering him on during a fight with Chromedome. The Becoming When Cybertron was invaded by Shockwave's army of Ammonites, the Constructicons talked Prowl into willingly forming Devastator and fighting Monstructor. Black Planet They were victorious, and went on to witness Megatron defect to the Autobots. ...And the Damage Done

Prowl, who had finally realized the advantages of having a combiner on his side, brought the Constructicons with him to Earth when Optimus Prime went in search of Alpha Trion. The Constructicons saved the Ark-7 from burrowing human missiles, and formed Devastator to fight the Decepticons under Galvatron's command. Detonation Boulevard After the battle they returned to the Ark-7 alongside the Autobots. The Mind Bomb

Bonecrusher was present when Prowl launched an attack on the Marshall Islands, using stealth paint to launch a sneak attack on the Earth Defense Command base on the island. I Dream of Wires They later stood by Prowl as he spied on Optimus Prime's secret meeting with Alpha Trion. The Crucible

When the Autobots began hunting for the Enigma of Combination, Prowl and the Constructicons went in search of Spike Witwicky. Signals, Calls, and Marches Their search took them to Tokyo, where they secured their asset but ran afoul of Galvatron. Vs. Feigning a truce with their mutual nemesis, the team stormed the Onyx facility by forming Devastator. Devastator ultimately went berserk due to his loathing of Spike and ruined the mission, allowing Scoop to abscond with the Enigma. The team was forced to retreat to the Ark-7. The Obliterati

After Prowl learned that Optimus Prime had helped Starscream form a permanent alliance with Caminus, the team hijacked the ship's new spacebridge to travel to Cybertron The Possible Light, where they formed Devastator. Superion and Defensor ultimately brought down Devastator, and the Constructicons were sent to a secret prison - Starscream wasn't done with them yet. Mistakes and Mayhem Seeking a new edge, Starscream drafted Scoop into the team, knowing that Scoop's fanaticism would force Devastator to obey his orders. You, Me, and the Universe Ultimately, however, Devastator wound up losing control. After Optimus Maximus and his fellow combiners felled the giant, Bonecrusher was re-imprisoned with the other Constructicons. All That Remains

Although the individual Constructicons were still considered criminals, Starscream made allowances for releasing his own loyal combiner when necessary. The Constructicons reformed Devastator at Starscream's command to thwart a group of Decepticons commandeering the space bridge, Once Upon a Time on Earth and to siege the colony ship Carcer when Elita-One refused to transform her Titan in defense of Cybertron from Sentinel Prime's zombie fleet. Desperate Measures

Following the impeachment and arrest of Starscream, the Constructicons received pardons, and later watched from a nearby rooftop as Onyx Prime and Liege Maximo arrived on Cybertron and joined Optimus and his retinue for a meeting in the Spire. Though the other Constructicons initially laughed off off Scoop's renewed faith in his "Chosen One," who had seemingly foreseen this series of events, Another Mine the team wound up forming Devastator to break an indignant Starscream out of prison. The Ground

With Onyx Prime unmasked as none other than Shockwave, the Constructicons wound up battling against Victorion on Starscream's orders. The Hallowing Though they were initially able to withstand her gravity powers, Endless Forever this was soon revealed to be the work of Liege Maximo, using supplies of Ore-4 to buffer them against Victorion's attacks. When Arcee destroyed this ore, Victorion was able to unleash a devastating gravitational onslaught which fatally crushed Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons. Unforgivable

Hearts of Steel

The Elder Gods have a boner for Ironhide.

With his fellow Decepticons, Bonecrusher fell under the thrall of an Elder God in 1888. When Ironhide went to investigate the possessed town of Port Cenotaph, Bonecrusher confronted him and pulled the Autobot over to the Elder God's control. Infestation 2: The Transformers #1 He soon defended the town against an international fleet. The Autobots arrived to deal with the Elder God and Wheeljack, noting that this was where Bonecrusher had been all along, cut him in half. Infestation 2: The Transformers #2

"Strange Visitors" establishes that events identical to those of Hearts of Steel and Infestation 2 occur in the 2005 IDW continuity; however, they happened to Maximal explorers brainwashed by Shockwave into believing they were the Autobots and Decepticons of the Great War.

Tricking the Autobots into thinking they were friendly construction vehicles, Bonecrusher and his teammates wreaked havoc on the Autobot base construction site before merging into Devastator for the killing blow. Unfortunately the Autobots found that Devastator's giant feeties were highly vulnerable to tickling, and the Constructicons were defeated and forced to endure grave tickling training at the hands of Megatron.

Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons formed Devastator to attack the G.I. Joe starship Defiant, successfully destroying one of its two modules. Devastator was blown back into his components when Wild Bill rammed the other module straight into him. Targetmasters Bonecrusher later participated in the Decepticon/Cobra attack on Metroplex. Everybody Hates Metroplex

Beast Wars: Uprising

Half of the original Constructicon team survived the Great War, including Bone Crusher. Hot Rod helped reform the team in the days after the Armistice, creating a 2/3rds Autobot roster and convincing the Constructicon to undergo Micromaster downsizing, losing social hierarchy among the Builders but retaining their mobility in the energon-depleted era. Micro-Aggressions Cultural Appropriation

During the Grand Uprising, Bone Crusher and the Constructicons served the Builders against the Resistance. They ran a prisoner transport through Proximax to Iacon when they were attacked by Resistance fighters. The prisoner, Snapper, escaped, but Bone Crusher's team found themselves in a prolonged battle with the Resistance which lasted over a day. They retreated to the Sights & Sounds casino for defense. Meanwhile, one of their members—Buckethead—had formed an alliance with Snapper and a motley crew of other bots to deal with the alien threat of the Antares Eight. Buckethead and Rampage of the Resistance eventually reached both sides and got them to join forces against the Renegade invaders.

At the trans-hyperwave caster the Renegades seized, Bone Crusher and the Constructicons joined Buckethead's "Ex-Bots" in attacking the invaders. The Constructicons formed Devastator, fighting the Monster Renegade combiner Monsterous. After the fight, all Cybertronians retired to Sights & Sounds for a summit. The Ex-Bots ultimately convinced Bone Crusher and the Constructicons to leave the Builders and act as part of an independent faction to protect the innocents of Proximax and defend the city from the horrors of war. Cultural Appropriation

The Constructicons and the Ex-Bots prevented Tarantulas from using a Robo-Smasher to brainwash all the people of Proximax. They also recovered the Autobot-turned-Maximal Grimlock from his control. As the Vehicon Apocalypse began, the Ex-Bots chose to get involved with the other armies of the proto-races. Bone Crusher and the Constructicons salvaged a lobotomized Sweep and retrofitted and detailed it as the team's new Ex-Jet.

On the march to Nova Cronum, the Constructicons formed Devastator to wade through the hordes of Vehicons. At the Grand Mal itself, Devastator joined forces with the Maximal combiner Magnaboss. Their combined assault weakened the Grand Mal's force field enough for Lord Imperious Delirious to take note of them, and fire the massive optic ray at the combiners. Devastator pushed Magnaboss out of the way. Magnaboss lost an arm, a fifth of his gestalt mind, but Devastator suffered worse. Half his components were damaged beyond repair, and Bone Crusher was among the casualties. Derailment

Win If You Dare

Starscream press-ganged Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons into excavating a fallen cybertonium meteorite. After taking a beating from Grimlock, the team formed Devastator in order to grab a fragment of the meteor before the substance went critical, but the explosion knocked the combiner apart. The six Constructicons promptly made an embarrassing retreat aboard Astrotrain, bickering with Starscream all the while. Transformers: Bumblebee - Go For the Gold

Mazinger Z versus Transformers

After Meatron allied with Doctor Hell, the Constructicons joined in the attack on the Photon Power Laboratory in an alternate-universe Japan. The team then formed Devastator to take on Kōji Kabuto inside the Mazinger Z, and although Devastator's raw strength nearly overpowered the heroic super robot, Mazinger's rocket punch ultimately knocked Devastator back into his components.

2019 IDW continuity

First appearance: Galaxies #1

Bonecrusher was forged at or around the end of the War of the Threefold Spark. An era of rebuilding and renewal, Bonecrusher came together with five other newly forged 'bots to form the Constructicons and help shape the Cybertron to come. They were recruited by the visionary architect Termagax to help build in the ruins of Iacon. Eager to make a name for themselves, the team promptly clashed with Termagax's conservative second-in-command Wheeljack—for while Wheeljack sought to merely rebuild Iacon, Termagax saw the potential for something bigger and better to take its place. While excavating in Rivets Field, the team inadvertently discovered the Enigma of Combination. Urged on by Termagax, Bonecrusher and his team agreed to expose themselves to the energies of the artifact, transforming themselves into a new combiner: raw power which Termagax hoped to harness and reshape into the ultimate building tool. Constructicons Rising, Part 1

Despite this new strength and power, Bonecrusher and his team struggled to master their combination, fighting against a seventh, destructive personality that surfaced whenever the team combined... and whose love of indiscriminate destruction jeopardized their reconstruction efforts. Finally, however, Termagax encouraged the team to work with this anger, rather than against it, and harness the powerful emotion to unite them in their shared purpose of rebuilding Iacon. Although the team would eventually complete their goal of turning the ravaged cityscape into a beautiful metropolis, they would not enjoy the fruits of their labor for long—Wheeljack brought his concerns to the attention of Nominus Prime, and the Prime arranged matters so that the team would be reassigned to the distant colony of Mayalx to oversee the construction of a new energon refinery. Constructicons Rising, Part 3 There, the Constructicons labored for many years, deliberately kept under-fueled and tired so they couldn't combine, while they grew increasingly resentful of the world that had abandoned them while reminiscing about their glory days. Constructicons Rising, Part 1

With their future on Cybertron uncertain, Scrapper eventually came to believe that the team's future lay elsewhere and began training his teammates in the ways of combat, holding regular sparring sessions in an improvised gladiatorial arena. Bonecrusher was a bruiser used to train the less martially inclined, like Long Haul and Scavenger. However, Scrapper's mentor had shown him the path of Security Operations, and Scrapper showed he could outthink Bonecrusher in combat instead of outmuscling him. During one particular session, the team was interrupted by the Insecticon Bombshell, who, after a brief misunderstanding, told them his story: like the Constructicons, Nominus Prime had also banished the Insecticons for fear of their unique matter-eating abilities. Knowing that the team could be of use to The Rise, Bombshell manipulated the team into unknowingly aiding the cause, encouraging them to recapture their glory days. Constructicons Rising, Part 2

After some deliberation, the six builders agreed to help the Insecticons, and after filling up on Bombshell's provided energon cubes the team combined for the first time since their banishment—but instead of uniting based on their shared urge to create, the Constructicons combined to destroy Mayalx and everything it represented to them, a spiteful, destructive rampage that ended with every 'bot in the colony slaughtered and the statue of Nominus Prime toppled. Unaware that the Insecticons had deliberately goaded them into such wanton slaughter so that the energon they processed from the many remains could be secretly shipped back to Cybertron to fuel the rise, Scrapper told his team that, for the first time in their lives, they were finally free to do and build whatever they wanted. Constructicons Rising, Part 4

Eventually, Shockwave called the Constructicons back to Cybertron and the Rise. When they arrived, however, Shockwave's former superior Exarchon had laid claim to the Rise and their bases. The Threefold Spark was eager to take a new body as powerful as Devastator, and tried to usurp the combiner. Together, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons were strong enough to prevent Exarchon from possessing their collective spark or sparks, though the effort forced them apart and left them out of action. War's End Part Four With Exarchon soon destroyed, the Rise were fully absorbed into the Decepticons, and Shockwave provided the Constructicons to Megatron's cause. Bonecrusher and the others were happy to be home, and to be wanted as Devastator. They saw themselves as heroes destined to end the war, and were happy to oppose the legacy of Nominus Prime. Fate of Cybertron

My Little Pony/Transformers

The Constructicons launched a sneak attack on the crashed Ark while most of the Autobots and Decepticons were stranded in Equestria. Grimlock did his best to fight the team, but was unable to match their power when they merged into Devastator. Fortunately, Spike was able to jury-rig the Ark's engines so that they fired in Devastator's face, knocking him back into his component robots. Inspiring

Transformers/Back to the Future

In a Decepticon-ruled 2015, Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons were investigating Scrapper's prone body and quickly reached the conclusion that their would-be collaborator Biff Tannen was the culprit. As Biff fled, Mixmaster ordered Bonecrusher to take him out; as Bonecrusher prepared to flatten the human with his bulldozer blade, Doc Brown hit the Decepticon with his Alpha-wave ionic nullifier and knocked him offline. Transformers/Back to the Future #3

Energon Universe

Bonecrusher was one of many Decepticons lying inactive onboard the Ark after it crash landed on Earth. Due to a shortage of resources it'd be some time before he and his fellow Constructicons could be revived. Starscream did eventually get the resources to do so and revived the sextet. He was then waiting with the other Constructicons to counter the Autobots counterattack, catching the Autobots by surprise, Starscream ordered them to combine into Devastator. Transformers #5

Optimus Prime would eventually throw Devastator off a cliff, separating him into his various components, Bonecrusher landing back first into the ground, they then proceeded to retreat with Starscream in tow.Transformers #6 Retreating to a volcanic area, Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons were present for the fight between Starscream and Soundwave over leadership over the Decepticons. He and the other Decepticons cheered Soundwave's name to honor him after he won. Transformers #7

  • At several points in the storyboards for City of Steel Bonecrusher is called 'Buildo'. This appears to stem from a misreading of the series bible, where his profile has 'Buldo' (an abbreviation for bulldozer) writtern next to it.
