Well you just proved my point.
Cybertronians dont have bones. They may have a skeletal form but it isnt made of Bone so why would they come up with a name like Bonecrusher?
It was a name designed to sound intimidating on Earth (though werent the Constructicons made there?) and since he was a heavy construction vehicle it fit.
Well, they may not be made of "bone" persay, but they do have skeletons,,and besides what we're seeing is the translations of their Cybertronian names. Basically the rough English equivalent to what their names mean in their language.
As for their origins. No, the Constructicons were not built on Earth. The cartoon had two completely contrsdictory origins for them one with them created on Earth and another with them being former friends of Omega Supreme back on Cybetron. The comics have always had them coming from Cybertron. They even appear in War Within with Cybertronian forms and alt modes.
