The thirst-quencher.

Gatoraider (aka Gatorface) is Krok's partner in the "wholesale carnage" field. While Krok is out causing Autobots to stumble and fall with his earthquake powers, Gatoraider is always lurking nearby, eager to tear into anyone "fortunate" enough to have made it away from Krok's assault.

Is he in you?

A techno-suchus synthesis, Gatoraider originated from the sulfur bogs on the shores of the Rust Sea. He was "adopted" by Krok and served as team mascot for Serpentor's Team BravoAlpha, Krok's unit during the Machine Wars. Assaulting the Cybertron space bridge complex, they took out a number of Thundercracker, Prowl and Soundwave clones. Then when the team went after Jhiaxus himself, Gatoraider assisted by blowing open an old access tunnel that led to his command center and distracted Jhiaxus's guards while Krok took them out.

Krok's squad of Decepticons once faced the Wreckers, and Krok was the only survivor. Krok's squad of Decepticons included Gatoraider, so, uh, connect those dots.

Hunts down and slaughters what the sweat takes out.
  • Krok with Gatoraider (Action Master, 1990)
Part of the second series of individually-carded Action Masters sold in the seventh and final year of the original US Transformers toyline, Gatoraider is a mechanical alligator that transforms via spring-loaded mechanism into a "concussion cannon" Targetmaster mode that can be held by any Action Master figure. His barrel can be extended by attaching most normal Action Master rifles to the end.
He was only available packaged with his larger partner Krok.

Also transforms into some kind of flyswatter thing if you don't know what you're doing.
  • Krok (Deluxe, 2015)
Included with Figure Subscription Service 3.0 Krok, Timelines Gatoraider is a redeco of Prime Arms Micron Dai. He transforms from a robot cyclops crocodile into a hand-held rocket launcher of some sort. As an Arms Micron mold, he has a number of 5 mm post-holes along his body, letting him be combined with other Arms Microns to form bigger and crazier weapons.
He can be used as a component of the Dark Matter Calibur if you really want to.
The figure has a widespread minor misassembly with the end tip of its tail being upside-down. This can be easily fixed by simply popping off the tail tip and reattaching it the correct way.
