An automotive crashbox damper member ( ) has a sequenced pre-collapse surface ( ) providing sequential energy absorbing compression such that at application of longitudinal ( ) force, longitudinal compression initially occurs at the pre-collapse surface ( ), prior to compression of the remainder ( ) of the crashbox damper member ( ). In one embodiment, the pre-collapse surface ( ) is a mounting surface ( ) beveled ( ) in roof-like fashion to a frontmost leading edge ( ) over the end ( ) of the crashbox damper member ( ). In another embodiment, the pre-collapse surface ( ) is a mounting surface ( ) formed as an arched cap ( ) in the form of a spherical segment over the end ( ) of the crashbox damper member ( ).
