Explanation of the conversion:
History: A former soldier in the Maximal army, Rockbuster chose to leave to fight the Predacon threat on his own.
He was formerly teamed with Big Convoy and the two were considered an unstoppable duo. He is one of Big Convoy’s best
friends and they look up to each other as equals. He is a wandering warrior who fights whatever Predacon menace he
encounters and does do with deadly efficiency. While he chooses a life of solitude he periodically looks in on his old pal
Big Convoy to see how he’s doing.
After the defeat of Megatron II the planet Cybertron was left reformatted into a techno-organic world.
On the reformatted techno-organic Cybertron Cheetor, Rattrap, Silverbolt III and Blackarachnia were interviewed by the
Autobot reporter Rook. They then welcomed the Autobots
Roulette, Shadowstriker, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker back to Cybertron. Buzzsaw III, Quickstrike II and
Rockbuster were also present. The returning Autobots along with Blackarachnia and Silverbolt
III were then abducted via teleportation beams and taken to Unicron. Tap-Out, Megatron IV, Brawn, Grimlock and Snarl III were also abducted from various timelines.
Silverbolt III, Blackarachnia, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were forcibly reformatted by Unicron. Taken captive by Razorclaw
IV, Reptilion, Obsidian III, Tankor II and Striker, the Autobots were forced to fight one another. They witnessed
Smokescreen III kill Smokescreen, whose spark was absorbed by Unicron. Sensing the need for a champion Primus and Alpha
Trion brought Optimus Primal back to life (Transformers: Universe #1).
Trivia: The toy of Rockbuster is similar to that of Razorclaw II. Rockbuster
was sold by himself, or packaged with Hydra.
Powers: Rockbuster is highly energu efficient, strong, tough, smart and fast. Rockbuster transforms into a mighty
crab with a virtually impenetrable shell. His "Claw Buster" attack fires an unstoppable missile while his
"Claw Crusher" attack can snap any armor to pieces no matter how tough or durable it may be.
Weaknesses: Rockbuster’s life of solitude has left him with no back up or allies. He fights alone and if he dies,
he dies alone. He cannot fly. High energon fields
can adversely effect Rockbuster if he stays in robot form for too long. His animal form is protected from high energon
levels.
