<p>Tatantyler: Added a potential theory</p> <hr /> <div>{{Quotation|'''Cave Johnson'''|That is not a panel. That's a crusher. We sell them too.}}<br /> [[File:Crusher.png|right|200px|thumb|A Crusher in ''Portal 2''.]]<br /> <br /> The '''Crusher''' was first introduced in [[Portal 2]], and is a derivative of [[Aperture Science]]'s [[Panels|Panel]] technology. Crushers are an environmental hazard present in several test environments. If the player makes contact with a Crusher, they will be forced into the nearest hard surface and killed instantly. Crushers appear as large grey panels with a number of steel spikes firmly attached to them. <br /> <br /> Crushers become more frequent during the final parts of the game {{spoiler|(particularly in [[List of Portal 2 chambers#Chapter_9|Chapter 9]]: The Part Where He Kills You)}}, and also appear frequently in [[Co-op]] mode.<br /> <br /> == Function ==<br /> Any object, including the player, will be perforated instantly upon contact with a Crusher. When active, a loud crunching noise is emitted in order to warn the player that they are approaching a Crusher, thereby allowing the player to avoid them.<br /> <br /> In Co-op mode, if the player comes in contact with a Crusher while floating in an [[Excursion Funnel]], the damage caused will be periodic until the player moves away or dies.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> *Crushers were originally intended to appear in [[Portal]], but were removed in the early stages of game development due to the additional complexity they added to test chambers.{{cite}}<br /> *Crushers appear in [[Portal: The Flash version]], a 2D flash game released prior to Portal. Later, they appeared in the [[Portal: The Flash Version MapPack]] modification, and were eventually introduced into [[Portal: Still Alive]].<br /> *Crushers originally lacked spikes and were ordinary steel plates {{spoiler| before [[Wheatley]] modified them, believing that there was something [[Media:Wheatley bw a4 spike smash01.wav|missing]]}}. This contradicts the [[Panels (video)|Panels video]] however, as a spiked crusher is clearly visible in the last part of the video, and [[Cave Johnson]] states that they can be purchased from Aperture Science.<br /> * This may be due to the fact that Wheatley jury-rigged the panels, and so felt that womething was &quot;missing&quot;.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Mechanics]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{MechanicsNav}}<br /> [[Category:Mechanics]]</div>
