"Look out below, geronimo!"

Crackotage is a member of the Cheat Commandos. He is a jet pilot (he's that guy that flies that plane) and possibly a master locksmith. His name implies that his main roles are sabotage and infiltration. He saved Gunhaver, Silent Rip, Fightgar, and Firebert from exhaustion when they were in the secret desert by dropping Cheat Commandos...O's from his plane.

He speaks in rhyming couplets (all ending with a four-syllable laugh), in what is almost certainly a parody of Roadblock from the cartoon version of G.I. Joe (of which "Cheat Commandos" is a parody), and Blaster from the original Transformers cartoon, who also did this. It's worth noting, however, that rather than actually sounding a lot like Roadblock, Crackotage's voice is very similar to that of Jazz from "Transformers" (voiced by Scatman Crothers), who didn't speak in rhyme, yet this too seems intentional, given the label on his toy packaging, "listens to jazz". Another "Transformers" reference could be how his airplane resembles Starscream. He pretty much lost the ability to speak in couplets in Commandos in the Classroom.
