Crowbar

Character Background

Crowbar is a member of the "Dreads," a trio of Decepticon infiltrators featured in the 2011 film Transformers: Dark of the Moon. This specific Legion Class figure was released as part of the Target-exclusive "Ultimate Gift Set" 5-pack, which bundled him alongside Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Autobot Jazz, and Mirage.

Key Features:

• Mold Reuse: This figure is a black and silver redeco of the 2009 Revenge of the Fallen Legends Class Sideways mold.
• Scale: Part of the Legion Class (formerly Legends Class), standing approximately 3 inches tall.
• Simple Engineering: Features a basic transformation sequence designed for quick conversion and pocket-sized play.

Alt Modes and Real-World Inspiration

• Robot Mode: A humanoid robot mode that utilizes the car's front end as the torso, though it lacks the character's signature "dreadlocks" seen in the film due to the reuse of the Sideways head sculpt.
• Sports Car Mode: Based on an unlicensed Audi R8 (circa 2008). While the character appeared as a Chevrolet Suburban in the movie, this toy represents him as a high-performance sports car to fit the existing mold.

Collectibility

Collectors often view this figure as a curiosity because it is "screen-inaccurate," using a sports car mold for a character that was a large SUV in the film. It is primarily sought after by completionists looking to finish the "Ultimate Gift Set" or those who enjoy the sleek aesthetic of the Sideways mold in a Decepticon-appropriate black paint scheme. While the figure is durable, collectors should be aware that the ball joints in the shoulders and hips can become loose with frequent transformation, and the silver paint on the front grille is prone to chipping if handled roughly.
