I guess you can say he has a... hate-boner! (Beats drum and cymbal)
Get it? Yeah? Hehehehehe... Yeah.
Good afternoon, everyone. This is The Joker once again with another Decepticon to discuss. I really have to admit: this big guy has a really interesting personality which I’m afraid Michael Bay failed to develop and utilize. Bonecrusher has always been one of my favorite Decepticons of all time. Here below is an interesting bio about him. Take a look:
Bonecrusher, known as the Claw of Megatron, is a Transformer that can be described with one word: Hate. While other Decepticons get by on greed, ambition, or just their fondness for dispensing chaos, Bonecrusher is fueled by sheer, unrelenting hate. He hates everyone and everything, be they Autobot, Decepticon, or anything in-between—he even hates himself, revolted by his misshapen, hunchbacked robot mode, which he considers a reflection of all the ugliness and malice inside himself. The full force of this vicious cycle of hatred finds release in explosive frenzied bursts of psychotic brutality, as Bonecrusher takes out the full force of his bitterness and self-loathing on anyone who looks at him sideways. He hates that. He also hates Megatron, but would hate being terminated by the Decepticon leader more, so he sticks around.
Why is this so important? Because here, we see that Bonecrusher is full of hatred and anger. He even despises his own looks which he believes reflects his own ugliness inside. That is just... wow! Deep! Can you imagine him looking at himself at his own mirrors on his shoulders and just says, “I fucking hate myself. Ughhh, disgusting piece of scrap metal!” I actually feel bad for him. It makes me wonder why he became like this. Why was he so hateful to others? Why is he that miserable? 
On the other hand, he is a very skilled tactician and fighter. You see that in the first Transformers movie (2007) where he was brave enough to fight Optimus Prime himself! He even said a line to him: “Oh, I hate you!” right before Optimus slashed his arm off. Keep in mind also that on Cybertron, he was appointed as supervisor over the battle strategies. Of course, he hated that since it prevented him from actively participating in battle. Makes sense since he loves going into war.
So all in all, he is a very interesting character that deserves more love than what he gets. I DEMAND a spin-off movie of Bonecrusher!! I would pay to see that!!
Anyway, doesn’t he remind you of some people who just don’t want to see the better side of life, and who are just so hateful and spiteful to others? Have you ever met such people? I have when I was a kid... Listen, folks, here is an important lesson that we all need to remember: if you ever feel yourself being so angry and hateful for what you are or what you have done in your life that was bad, think about the better solutions such as calming yourself, think positive things about yourself, forgive yourself, and make plans on how to be a better person.
Whoa, whoa, did I just make a Decepticon a relatable character? Wow! I’m that fascinated with him, am I?
Anyway, what are your thoughts on Bonecrusher? Do you like him or not like him?
Peace.
Interesting fact: Bonecrusher is one of the names of the Original 6 Constructicons.

Yes, he is. What are your thoughts on this guy?

I'd want him among my men. By the way, I take it last night's trial run was a success.
Oh, look. Yet another Bayverse Transformer who apparently has a much more interesting personality than his/her G1 counterpart. Too bad we never got to see it on the big screen and most likely never will.
Thanks, Bay. Thanks a lot!
By the way, here's the official description of G1 Bonecrusher:
Rubble-strewn wasteland is his idea of beautiful landscape. His wild ways create fear and terror. As vehicle, at 30 mph exerts 800,000 psi... has short-range concussion bomb launcher. As robot, carries laser pistol.

Thank you for the description, Mr. King.
Also, yes, it’s a real shame we never saw Bony’s potential properly executed in the films. It’s all about... EXPLOSIONS!!

And a few other things:
- Racial stereotypes
- Sexual humor
- Objectification of women
- Glorification of the US military
- Government conspiracy subplots
Am I missing anything?

I also Agree on ALL of them to be TOO MUCH, Very SCREWED UP, and More. But, I disagree on One thing. What is WRONG with The USA military being Badass!!??

Normally, nothing is wrong with that. However, in an alien invasion movie where two factions of giant alien robots fight each other to the death on Earth, humanity is supposed to be desperate enough to decide to trust the good faction and help them defeat the evil faction. If the movie shows that the US military is perfectly capable of handling the Decepticons on their own, then the presence of the Autobots is completely meaningless.

Oh, that make sense. Plus, the other Nations like Canada, Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany, Japen, Africa, Australia, North and South Korea, etc. Didn't help much. But, then again the Movies are MOSTLY Set in America, so. 🤷🤷
But, I really LOVE the Autobot's and want them to do MOST of the Work and Action. And have US/Humanity as the Support and Backup. 👌👍
BUT, MY MAIN PROBLEM WITH THE MOVIES, THAT I REALLY HATE IS MOTHER FRICKIN BAD HUMANS!!!!!!!!!! I mean are they F***** STUPID??!! THEIR TOTALLY XENOPHOBIC IDIOTS!!!!!!! I mean WORKING with the Decepticons!!!!!!!! Megatron and his Decepticons tried to MOTHER FRICKIN KILL YOU ALL MANY TIMES!!!!!!!! (Speaking to the Bad Humans). Shawn Berger (G1), Silas and MECH (Prime), Cemetery Wind, that Senator Guy in the Second Movie, and sometimes TRF ( Bay Live Action Movies).
WHAT WERE THE WRITERS THINKING!!!!!!!!!!!

The answer is simple. They weren't thinking at all.
