'''Onslaught''' is a Decepticon formerly from the [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticon]] caste. Submitting himself to [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]'s [[combiner]] experiments, he became the core of the dangerously unstable gestalt form known as [[Bruticus (Prime)|Bruticus Maximus]].

==Fiction==
===''Exodus''===
Onslaught was put into [[stasis lock]] under [[Crystal City]] with the rest of Bruticus Maximus when Shockwave's combination experiment proved unsuccessful. After [[Devastator (WFC)|Devastator]] destroyed Crystal City, Bruticus was revived and sent to [[Kalis]]. But the Autobots won, with [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] taking down the giant. Sideswipe boasted he tore off Bruticus's head, which was formed by Onslaught. Bruticus was later repaired and deployed at [[Praxus]] and spearheaded the [[Nova Cronum]] massacre. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

{{Note|Onslaught is an unlockable character for the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|Nintendo DS version]] of ''War for Cybertron'' (Decepticon version), unlocked by finding a disc in the mission "Reactivating the Energon Bridge" (requires Heavy and Light class characters). Like the other unlockable characters, he can replace any of the other Decepticons in the campaign mode.}}

Onslaught defended the [[Dark Energon]] injection machines. Wielding a large hammer, he introduced himself to his foes with a simple, "Get ready for an ONSLAUGHT!", but was eventually defeated by the Autobots.

==Notes==

* At one point, ''Exodus'' calls Onslaught a Constructicon, but this seems likely to be an error as the Combaticon name is used later.
* Onslaught is usable in both the Autobot and Decepticon versions of the ''War for Cybertron'' games for the DS. Used only for multiplayer, bonus missions and Arena mode in the Autobot version and used in Multiplayer, Arena mode, and campaign in the Decepticon version.
* A glitch causes Onslaught (or rather [[Leader (WFC)|Leader]] class characters using his "Tactical Rig" model) to be immune to the [[Scout (WFC)|Scout]]'s Mark target ability in competitive multiplayer.

'''Perceptor''' is a dedicated astronomer and physicist, and he is not interested at all in the mystical or supernatural. There's a paradox named after him, presumably one he theorized. Distant and antisocial, Perceptor speaks with a bluntness befitting a scientist.

==Fiction==
===''Prime'' cartoon===
Perceptor was mentioned during one of [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]]'s ramblings, saying that the [[Synthetic Energon]] formula disproved Perceptor's paradox. {{storylink|T.M.I.}}

===''Exiles''===

After passing through the unstable [[Space Bridge]], Perceptor and the Autobots aboard the Ark found themselves in the vicinity of a Cybertronian colony world called [[Velocitron]]. They located it in part thanks to a mysterious starmap projected outwards from Optimus Prime's chest by the Matrix itself. As a scientist, Perceptor had difficulty with the concept of a mythical artifact guiding their movements, but Velocitron proved to be real enough. He was part of Optimus Prime's initial landing team, who made contact with the planet's rulers, [[Override (Prime)|Override]] and [[Ransack (Prime)|Ransack]]. It was a time of great stress between Velocitron's rulers, and the Autobots' arrival from mythical Cybertron only exacerbated the situation. The planet's sun was unstable, and the speed-oriented engineers of the world had little scientific background in astronomy. Perceptor assisted the Velocitronians with their studies of the star, and successfully reactivated the planet's Space Bridge, reopening the world to interstellar travel.

The next leg of their journey through the Space Bridge brought the Autobots to fabled [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]], a world composed entirely of space junk. Sabotage brought down the Ark shortly after their arrival, and Optimus Prime tasked Perceptor with getting things up and running again. He also performed an exploratory check on Junkion's four Space Bridge nexii, and determined that one was indeed still in working order. (The one indicated by the Matrix, but of course Perceptor made his own observations first.) Perceptor's work proved valuable, and the Ark was able to regain flight even amidst the arrival of the ''Nemesis'' and the chaos created by the unearthed [[Requiem Blaster (Prime)|Requiem Blaster]]. After the battle over Junkion ended, Perceptor updated Optimus Prime on the status of the planet and the ships involved in the skirmish. The Ark then set a new course for the Allspark itself. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}
