- In Of Predators and Prey: Part 2, Crabdozer defeated Heatblast and was defeated by Armodrillo, prompting her to switch into Slamworm.
- In Outbreak, Crabdozer appeared because of a malfunction with the Nemetrix and rammed into Khyber before he managed to subdue it. Later, Crabdozer reverted when Dr. Psychobos repaired and perfected the Nemetrix.
- In Malefactor, Crabdozer battled Heatblast and was defeated by Armodrillo, prompting her to switch into Slamworm.
- In A Fistful of Brains, one of the Panuncian's clones used its Nemetrix to transform into Crabdozer off-screen and appeared as a steed for Khyber.
