Skullcruncher

Few characters make an entrance quite like Skullcruncher, who crashed onto the scene in Marvel's The Transformers: Headmasters #3 in 1987 — right in the thick of that wild Copper Age era when the Transformers mythos was expanding in bold, imaginative directions. A product of Bob Budiansky and Frank Springer's collaboration, this Decepticon presence shares some seriously heavy company, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Scorponok, Weirdwolf, and Hardhead across the Headmasters limited series and the main Transformers title. His catalog footprint is small but choice — a tight, memorable corner of a beloved chapter in Transformers comics history that any serious fan of the Marvel run will want to track down.
