'''Bruticus''' is the combined form of the [[Combaticon]] team. A terrifying sight on the battlefield, Bruticus is among the strongest of all Transformers. He can pulverize a suspension bridge with one 14,000 psi punch. He can lift up to 500,000 pounds. His armor is impervious to most artillery and radiation.

He's also dumb as a sack of hammers.

Bruticus is comprised of:
*[[Onslaught]] (leader)
*[[Brawl]]
*[[Blast Off]]
*[[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]
*[[Vortex]]

[[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] had an ace up his proverbial sleeve when [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] ordered the [[Constructicon]]s to form [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], Starscream similarly ordered the Combaticons to form the mighty Bruticus. Though extremely low in intelligence, even by the standards of combined robots, he was also extremely powerful, easily defeating Devastator and sending the remaining Decepticons loyal to Megatron into retreat. Unfortunately, the [[Stunticon]]s arrived and formed [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], who launched an attack from behind, quickly subduing Bruticus.

Later, when the [[Aerialbots]] discovered Megatron's latest (and dumbest) plan, involving plane parts rebuilt into ugly cars rebuilt into drone jets by Middle Eastern criminals and a [[Giant Purple Griffin]], [[Superion]] gave [[Bruticus]] a good thrashing.

While attacking a human city, Bruticus was destroyed in battle with [[Defensor]] (man, this guy can't seem to catch a break). Only Swindle survived, and he sold the remains of his comrades to various mercenaries and [[El Presidente|third-world dictator-types]], only to be forced to locate and rebuild the Combaticons by Megatron later on.

Although conspicuously absent during the Battle of Autobot City, the Combaticons and their combined form were among [[Galvatron]]'s most commonly used troops in 2006 and onward.

''(Bruticus is referred to as one of the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]]. This terminology, coupled with the presence of the previously deceased [[Black Zarak]] in their ranks and [[Violen Jygar]]'s supernatural origins, could mean that Bruticus died previously to Zone and was likewise brought back to life. However, this is unconfirmed, meaning that Violen Jygar may have simply recruited the still-living Bruticus to be a General.)''

Bruticus was selected by [[Violen Jygar]] as one of his 9 Decepticon Demon-Generals and rebuilt with more powerful armor and weaponry. However, he did jack squat with it, as he was not present at any of the battles the other generals participated in.

''Despite having an animation model, Bruticus does not appear in the single'' Zone ''OVA episode - not even the intro.''

Bruticus was selected by [[Violen Jygar]] as one of his 9 Decepticon Demon-Generals and rebuilt with more powerful armor and weaponry. With [[Abominus]], [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], and [[Overlord]], he attacked [[planet Z]] in order to steal its powerful [[Energon Z]]. Though attacked by four [[Micromaster]] battle stations, they managed to swipe it and then flee into space. The four then seemed to head to Earth, but were subsequently not seen again.

: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-69'''
[[Image:Bruticus_toy.jpg|left|thumb|130px|"Rargh... many transform Bruticus wrong... and blame Bruticus design..."]]

: Bruticus is formed from all five Combaticon toys. The four smaller Combaticons attach via sockets in Onslaught's shoulders and the bottom of his feet. Fists and feet pads attach onto the four limbs, and Bruticus is completed with a large chest plate and a helmet covering Onslaught's head. He wields Onslaught's rifle in battle. As with all [[Scramble City]]-style [[combiner]] teams, his limbs can be rearranged into any slot of one's choosing.

: In most markets, only the individual Combaticons were released, and the giftset was only avalible in Japan and Italy.

: This mold was redecoed and later retooled to make ''[[Operation Combination]]'' [[Battle Gaia]]. ''[[Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Ruination]] and ''[[Universe]]'' Ruination.

* The [[Action Master Elite]] [[Turbo Master]] was most likely originally designed as Bruticus.

: ''Generation 2'' Bruticus is a [[redeco]] of the original Bruticus toy, or more accurately, a redeco of the entire Combaticon team. Functionally, he is identical to the original toy, though composed of his entire team's crazy bright colours, in case Bruticus ever needed to perform recon with [[Megatron_(G1)|G2 Megatron]] Earth's many day-glo jungles.

: During ''Generation 2'', only the individual Combaticons were released.
