Movie plot
Crowbar, Hatchet and Crankcase are among the Decepticons hidden on the Moon in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. When the Autobots investigate the crashed ship on the moon containing Sentinel Prime the three Decepticons secretly return with the Autobots. Once on Earth they take on the disguise of earth vehicles. Crowbar is killed by Ironhide.

According to Boom Tron, "The Dreads (Crankcase, Crowbar, and Hatchet) seem to be the Decepticon’s answer to the Wreckers, except the movies manage to mess it up even more. While the Wreckers had voices (well, two of them did), the Dreads might as well have been named the Generics. Nothing they did separated them from the countless other nameless Decepticons that appeared throughout the film....Unfortunately, Crowbar and Hatchet weren’t named after anybody, so there’s nothing to compare them to. Well that’s not true. There’s dozens of Decepticons they could have been based on!"
