Crossrock - Ganseki Chōjin - 'Proud rock knight'
Gobots Packaging 'Crackpot's name describes his personality-slightly goofy. The other warriors give him a hard time about his crazy notions but Crackpot can think of good ideas that save them from a jam. His magnetic pulse ray* 'attracts' bad rocks and turns them into magnetic rock heaps!'
* It's likely the marketing department mixed up Boulder and Crackpot's weapons as Boulder is described as having a sword. Crackpot is also not shown as having a weapon on the Rock Lords cardback. See Sticks 'n Stones extra notes for more weapon error details.
Japanese Packaging Practical Translation 'He is the decendant of a rock royal family and as a child received strict education as a knight. He has an almost recklessly strong sense of justice that does not rest. His weapon, the sacred Rock Saint Sword was handed down in the royal family from generation to generation. It emits a god-given aura from those who wielded it before which can pacify evil energy.'
Robo Machine Packaging (shared by all Series 1 and 2 figures and Saberstone and Spearhead) 'Rock Life has evolved upon the planet 'Quartex' in the form of rock "beings", each with their own unique abilities. Conflict exists between the forces of good and evil ROCK LORDS. But just like GOBOTS, good does not always prevail, sometime the evil side wins!'
