Crazybolt (RID)

Crazybolt is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Don't stalk with your mouth full.

Crazybolt subscribes to a simple philosophy: speed. Everything in life should be about going as fast as you can and nothing should be slowing you down. On Velocitron, this philosophy would allow Crazybolt to fit right in. But on planets such as Cybertron and Earth, there are too many obstacles in the form of cities, natural terrain, and people. And to Crazybolt, there is only one solution to dealing with all obstacles impeding his speed: destroying them with his fiery breath and burning exhaust.

His Mini-Con partner is the ever-loyal Slicedice, who is as dedicated to Crazybolt as his master is to speed. He is also associated with the Cyclones Hammer and Ransack.

If anyone tells me to lick my eyeballs...they're dead!

An ex-drag racer, Crazybolt and Slicedice were arrested after Crazybolt leveled Steel City, claiming that the buildings impeded his mobility. He was placed in a stasis pod and sent away aboard the Alchemor, only to be freed when the ship crashed on Earth. The duo continued their high-octane rampage across Earth's highways, although Bumblebee's team eventually tracked them down. The two fled; Crazybolt used a smokescreen to send Strongarm onto an overpass, distracting her while they made good their escape.

After some more driving, Crazybolt and Slicedice discovered a nature reserve. Slicedice, offended by the sign, goaded his partner into burning down the sign... and the entire forest, viewing it as an insult to their desire for unimpeded speed. Although Bumblebee and Grimlock grappled with the Decepticons, they were unable to subdue either before the flames forced them to break off. The Decepticon duo took advantage of the fire and fled the scene. Suspended

That's a...spicy meat-a ball!

The pair later met up with Scorponok in a disused drive-in, awaiting a meeting with Steeljaw. The surly Scorponok was swiftly irritated by their tardiness and their need for speed, not helped by Steeljaw's absence... and not realizing that Steeljaw had set them up to get attacked by the Autobots (who he'd set up to get attacked by Scorponok as a distraction for his own ends). Though eager to hit the pavement, Crazybolt was afraid enough of Scorponok to try and end the fight quickly, so he blasted Bumblebee with a burst of flame-breath. But the Autobot used Slicedice as an impromptu shield, and quickly got the upper hand on Crazybolt... but Scorponok had gotten the upper claw on Grimlock, forcing Bumblebee to back off. Bumblebee then used a little flim-flam to distract and confuse the Decepticons, setting them up for him and Grimlock to take them down. Crazybolt and the others were promptly locked away in stasis pods. Misdirection

Crazybolt's stasis pod was later taken back to Cybertron by Optimus Prime, Windblade and Ratchet. Decepticon Island (Part 2)

Robots in Disguise (2015)

(Hasbro Version Pictured)

(TakaraTomy Version Pictured)

• Crazybolt and Decepticon Hammer (Deployer, 2016)

• TakaraTomy name: Crazybolt with Micron Ransack
• TakaraTomy ID Number: TAV47
• TakaraTomy release date: May 28, 2016
• Accessories: "Hammer" Mini-Con and armor sprue (Hasbro only), "Ransack" Mini-Con and armor sprue (TakaraTomy only)

Part of the third and final wave of Robots in Disguise Deployers (and the only new toy in the wave), Crazybolt transforms from a horned lizard robot beast into a monstrous muscle car of probably-made-up model. As a Deployer figure, Crazybolt is designed to launch Cyclone-style Mini-Cons from his huge gaping maw/vehicle rear. This launcher will not work if the small "safety" trigger on his underside is not pushed in, either by setting him on a flat surface in vehicle mode, posing him low enough to the ground in robot mode, or by doing so manually in either mode.

In an undocumented feature, he has the is the ability to attach Mini-Cons to the rectangular tabs on each of his shoulders.

The Hasbro release of Crazybolt includes a white-and-red redeco of the Mini-Con Hammer (though the box-art showed Hammer in the show-like red-and-blue deco from a Mini-Con 4-pack).

Due to retailers in the United States discontinuing the Deployers assortment, the wave with Crazybolt was never released at brick and mortar retail in the US, and was only stocked by US-based online retailers following a massive delay. The set did see a release in various other markets more or less on schedule, though, such as...

...the TakaraTomy version, released in the fifteenth wave of Adventure product, which features a much more extensive and more show-accurate paint scheme (but still a little bit off). Instead of Hammer, he includes a slightly retooled and redecoed version of Ransack.

Despite his primary partner being a Decepticon-aligned torpedo in the show, Crazybolt's toy is incapable of interacting with said variety of Mini-Cons.
