A dark gray crusher with large white crushing things.
Role in the film[]
It is a car crusher used in the same junkyard as its partner, the Giant Magnet. As its name suggests, it is a large crushing machine designed for crushing cars. Since the Crusher needs the Giant Magnet to be able to accomplish this, it is likely that it and the Giant Magnet are both parts of the same body. Like the Giant Magnet, the Crusher shows no sympathy towards its victims and does not regret killing them. It also never speaks, but like Street Lamp and Traffic Signal, whereas most appliances and the Junkyard Cars can move, it cannot. Its only moving components are; the conveyor belt that brings victim cars to it and an upper-mandible piston which crushes them into cubes. It is unknown if the Crusher really is alive or not; however, it does have two eye-like shapes above its mouth. Interestingly, before crushing the first two cars, it stops moving until the car gets into its mouth, which implies that it truly is alive.
The Crusher was disabled by Toaster, who jammed himself between its gears to prevent it from crushing Rob, Kirby, Lampy, Blanky, and Radio, who were placed on the conveyor belt by the Magnet.
