I still see him on HA on base defense but always use Grimlock and never have an issue..is he still worth the rank?

    Like Motormaster, he belongs to the last generation of tough bots who fade through time. He was scary on a HA when the only viable counter was Mv1 (remember how Kabam sold Mv1 at a ridiculous price?). Then Grimlock and zoo team arrive to snuff him out within seconds. Then nano-jack and Robotronous arrive to dethrone him as a defender.

    Offensive side, his main output (along with his sig) and evade-control rely on taking hits, which is unacceptable in more of the cases.

    He is now useless as base defender but still do well as an attacker

    Yeah his days as a top defender are over because of beasts bots. I enjoy playing with him just wish he had some better synergys.

    No way. Bonecrusher is still the king of warriors. I believe he is better than scorponok. He is still annoying on base and does well in missions

    Well at times but GRIMLOCK and MV1 OPTIMUS sure defeat him

    Yeah, he is annoying but it's pretty easy to win against him. As the title of king of warrior, i choose drift over him

    Bc is destroyer for my team. I love him. Granted he could do better but hes a beast for me. Those damn bleeds man..... Having a high sig for him is useful

    BC was my first R4 bot, and as an individual he's still great. But I can't justify him being a first choice warrior anymore as the others have much better synergies, especially with the bots I use. Bludgeon is my current top warrior.

    He was my first maxed out 4-star bot (I currently have three maxed out 4-stars... all duped and forged), and I still use him in Missions and Raids, but my maxed duped 4-star Tantrum can crush any BC w/ HA in raids, thanks to his Frenzy. Duped Grimlock, duped Primal, and MV1 Prime also are excellent matchups against the king of bleed.

    Well, his heavy bleed is still quite reliable, and special bleeds are still a nightmares.

    Motormaster has found a new lease of life as an unexpected TECH KILLER for me.
    4* R4 MM easily BEATS 1500pi HIGHER 5* Rhinox, Wheeljack, etc.
    Oh, AND 5* BONECRUSHER. Just AVOID those SP2s and go all aggro!

    @DrShotgun stop being such a MEANIE.
    I don't even have a 4* Boney!
    I've maxed out 3* Bonecrusher to 1680pi!
    WHAT CAN 4* BONEY ACHIEVE?!?

    I have a duped 4-Star Bonecrusher at Rank 3 Lvl 30. I use him mostly for my base defense (with Harm Accel) and he absolutely slaughters.... but as long as they don't have a Primal, Mv1, Grimlock, or Tantrum with them.

    Brawlers really make Bonecrusher look like a joke, but I don't think that makes him irrelevant. After all, Brawlers are designed to counter Warriors. He's still great against the other classes and he''s still pretty good when you fight with him.

    Bonecrusher is way better than drift. Bleeds more and stronger bleeds

    If your thinking of ranking bonecrusher for base defense, then I have one word of advice: don’t.

    If your actually going to play as him then by all means take him up. Imo he went from the top warrior to a mid-tier warrior.

    Boney was my second warrior, I keep a minimal upgraded 3 star of Boney for arena fights.

    I won't say Boney is irrelevant, he just won't be my go to warrior bot.

    Bone has been on my mind for a sidekick for MvMegatron because of the stun synergy...20 charges stun the opponent ..and a critical with a charge of 20 hits pretty hard for a freebie.
    As for base defense...nah. too many other options.

    Yes bonecrusher is now a weak link on base defense so what? Lol his offensive side is still badazz and now he's a part of my raid team
