Crasher is the name of several fictional characters in the Gobots

from the Transformers universes
. She is inspired by the Gobots character Crasher. She is sometimes called "Decepticon Fracture" for trademark purposes. Though not part of the live-action Transformers film, Fracture is featured as part of the toy line and associated comics.
Dedicated to Megatron and the Decepticon cause, Fracture is a dangerous enemy. She is totally fearless, and probably a little bit crazy, as she dives directly into any battle, regardless of the odds. Although she carries a powerful negative energy blaster, she prefers to use the seismic energy dischargers on her feet to smash the surrounding earth to pieces. Any battlefield on which she walks shudders with the force of her steps.
Fracture is among the Decepticons who arrive on Earth under the direction of Soundwave in Transformers: Alliance #3. She arrives in Italy
and assumed the form for a Formula One
race car. In issue #4 Fracture is hunted down by Ironhide
and human members of N.E.S.T., who chase her until Ironhide can run her off a cliff, killing her.
Note: In the IDW comics Fracture was given a more alien styling to make her fit in more with the movie style, rather than resembling her toy.
Fracture appears in issue #17 of the Titan Transformers Magazine, in a story called "Return to Cybertron: Part 1." She is part of the "New Decepticons" on Cybertron led by Stockade

. She is part of the Mayhem Suppression Squad called in by Soundwave to defend the Arch-Ayr fuel dump from an Autobot attack. She later became part of the crew of the Nemesis.
In Do Over the Nemesis launches after the Ark. After a brief battle the Nemesis is shot down and crashes on Earth, with the crew escaping in stasis pods. Although not directly depicted, Crasher is a member of the crew of the Nemesis.
Crasher appears in Eye In the Sky where Cliffjumper recovers her pod and reactivates her. Cliffjumper, Crasher, Frenzy, Heatwave, Ravage and Soundwave are sent on a mission to Burpleson Air Force Base to stop the Autobots from controlling the GODS defense system.
