Botch the Crab
For as long as this site has been online, Botch the Crab has been its official figurehead and mascot: a Decepticon by allegiance, a cassette by function, a crab by choice, and stalker of the shadows by necessity. Over the years, despite his snappish and reclusive ways, Botch has managed to inspire some fans to illustrate and even kitbash some tributes to him. (The ultimate goal is to one day get a small run of actual Botch toys produced by a third party.) Below is Botch's bio as well as many of those fantastic illustrations. Enjoy, and feel free to contribute!
