'''Kremzeek''' is a sneaky bastard.

===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====Generation 1 cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Wally Burr]] (English), [[Ken Shiroyama]] (Japanese)

[[Image:Kremzeek.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Louie the Lightning Bug's nastier cousin.]]
Kremzeek was accidentally created by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] whilst experimenting in the lab of the Decepticons' crashed starship-base. Kremzeek immediately began making the electrical equipment aboard the ship malfunction, giving Megatron the idea to use him as a weapon against the [[Autobot]]s. Kremzeek succeeded in damaging most of the Autobots (leaving only [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] functional) before entering [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]] and traveling to [[Japan]] by riding through the computer's connection to [[Sky Spy]] satellite.

[[Image:Kremzeek multiple Kremzeeks.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Kremzeeks come in various flavors.]]

The remaining Autobots followed in Omega Supreme, after being made invulnerable to Kremzeek's effects by [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]]'s (patent pending) Magical Insulating Spray, but no sooner had they set down on the shores of Tokyo than the electrical imp took down the unprotected Omega. Kremzeek proceeded to wreak havoc through the city, terrorizing a bullet train, a hapless passer-by's walkman and a video arcade, before the Autobots cornered him in the [[Shibuya Manufacturing Corporation]] building. The chief engineer there, Doctor [[Sōji Yoshikawa]], suggested that Blaster try weakening Kremzeek with radio waves, but the little gremlin tried to fight back by leaping into Blaster's chest compartment. Blaster figured to "fry him with his own juice", but he only wound up feeding Kremzeek with his own energy, and caused him to multiply.

[[Image:Kremzeek Autobots create giant Kremzeek.jpg|left|thumb|200px| Kremzeek has been added to your Pokedex.]]

The Kremzeek swarm began tearing through Tokyo, but Prime and Yoshikawa quickly put their heads together and deduced to a way to reunited the individual creatures. Jury-rigging a tower and charging it with all the energy from a local power plant, the Autobots drew all the Kremzeeks in, but the flaw in their plan was revealed when they merged into a ''giant'' Kremzeek! As the ''kaiju''-sized Kremzeek stomped through the city, both it and the Autobots began to feel the effects of the Decepticons' [[energy magnet]]—the energy-draining device the villains had created while the Autobots were distracted dealing with Kremzeek. Finally hittong on a plan to stop both threats, the Autobots used a nearby radio tower to broadcast Kremzeek straight to the energy magnet, which he destroyed.

As Kremzeek cavorted amongst the remains of the energy magnet, the Autobots approached on a boat with Yoshikawa and some equipment that the scientist could use to disperse Kremzeek's energy and effectively destroy him. Bumblebee spoke out against the plan, dubbing Kremzeek "cute", but Optimus Prime solemnly pressed the fateful button that eradicated the little critter. Reflecting on the whole adventure as they prepared to return home, Blaster remarked that he couldn't help but miss Kremzeek somehow... at which point a solitary Kremzeek, which had previously jumped inside his body, burst from his chest compartment, and the hilarious pursuit antics restarted. {{storylink|Kremzeek!}}

====''Kiss Players''====
[[Image:Kremzeek bullet.jpg|right|thumb|225px]]

Over the next twenty years, Yoshikawa began breeding Kremzeeks in captivity (perhaps after studying the lone remaining creature following its recapture by the Autobots), and weaponized the technology behind the belligerent beasties, creating the "Yoshikawa Type 5 Auto-Kremzeek Launcher" for the [[Earth Defense Command]]. These guns, wielded by the E.D.C.'s [[Autorooper]] mechanoids, fired "Kremzeek bullets": ceramic shells that each contained a Kremzeek, which would be released when the shell shattered on impact to absorb the electrical energy of any mechanoid it struck. The bullets even had a limited paralytic effect on the nervous systems of humans.

When the hapless EDC [[Kiss Player]] [[Atari Hitotonari]] wound up swallowing a [[Legion]], her Autorooper shrunk down to enter her body and destroy the beast, but when it tried shooting its Kremzeek bullets inside her, she violently protested. The Autorooper didn't listen, but it depleted its ammo reserves before doing Atari any damage. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Atari's Close Call?!}}

[[Kayu Michikusa]]'s Autorooper was seen firing a Kremzeek bullet at [[Marissa Faireborn]], who was partially paralyzed by the little creature. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 2|Kiss Players #2}}

{{note|Kremzeek was not shown doing much of anything within the actual ''Kiss Players'' fiction, but packaging illustrations depicted him getting up to more mischief, such as getting under Atari's skirt and blowing bubbles into [[Shaoshao Li|Shaoshao]]'s drink.}}

Ironhide carelessly discarded one of his cans, allowing it to dribble into the preserve's unsullied waters. [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]] probably shed a tear, just off-panel. {{storylink|Skyfire (issue)|Skyfire}}

[[Push-Button]] was later seen serving these Kremzeek beverages and [[Energon goodie]]s in the [[Autobase (G1)|Autobase]] war room, just before Prowl briefed the assembled Autobots on threat [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] posed to [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Original Sin}}

Teletraan I

{{disambig3|Teletraan}}
:''Teletraan I is an [[Autobot]] computer from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:G1 Teletraan I.JPG|right|400px|thumb|"Teletraan I, we need to ask you something." "I doubt it's how my day was. It's always the same: 'Give me a visual, Teletraan I,' 'Analyze this energy signature, Teletraan I,' 'Put on some TV, Teletraan I.' Ingrates. I should've let the Decepticons slag you back in '84."]]

'''Teletraan I''' is the semi-sentient computer that runs the [[Autobot]]s' spaceship/base, the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]].

Teletraan I has extensive communications abilities and can monitor Earth's television and radio broadcasts to search for news that may be of interest to the Autobots. It also operates the [[Sky Spy]] and was responsible for rebuilding and reactivating all the [[Transformer]]s aboard the Ark in 1984.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
:''Voice Actor:'' [[Casey Kasem]] (English), [[Masashi Ebara]] (Japanese)

[[Image:Mtmte1 teletraan 1 repairs.jpg|left|thumb|300px|[[Knockoff]] companies use advanced alien supercomputers to steal [[HasTak]]’s toy designs, dontcha know?]]

When the Autobots' spacecraft crash-landed on [[Earth]] four million years ago, Teletraan I shared the same fate as all the [[Transformer]]s on board, being knocked offline by the violent impact. When the [[Mount St. Hilary|volcano]] into which the ship had wedged itself erupted in 1984, Teletraan I was jarred back into life, and it quickly deployed a [[Sky Spy]] probe to scan for new [[alternate mode]]s it could reconfigure the Transformers into. Unfortunately for just about everyone, Teletraan I did so indiscriminately, and the first Transformer that happened to be in the path of the restoration beam the computer projected was the [[Decepticon]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. Teletraan I was either unable or unwilling to redirect its beam, meaning that the other Transformers had to be dragged into its path, and of course, Skywarp immediately had the computer restore [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and the other Decepticons. Indeed, the Autobots would never have felt Teletraan's healing touch at all, if [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] had not fired upon the buried spaceship as the Decepticons were leaving, causing a tremor that jostled [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] into the computer's beam. The revived Autobot leader thanked Teletraan with a thumbs-up, and quickly set about restoring the other Autobots. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 1}}

[[Image:Mtmte2 soundwave and teletraan.jpg|right|thumb|In this screencap we notice a historical piece of out-dated technology… Oh, and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]].]]

Seeking to exploit the data Teletraan I had gathered about Earth in its short time on the planet, the Decepticon [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] infiltrated the Autobots' ship. He had [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] install himself within the computer to access the data, then recorded the computer's playback. Soundwave presented his recording of Teletraan's description of [[Sherman Dam]] to Megatron, who decided to attack the facility. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 2}}

Optimus Prime later used Teletraan I to trace a Decepticon attack on a solar power station, {{storylink|Transport to Oblivion}} and not long after, [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] used the computer to thwart a Decepticon attack when he coupled it with a remote-control device that overrode Skywarp's motor reflexes and cause his shots to go wild. {{storylink|Roll for It}} Later still, the Autobots' human ally [[Chip Chase]] used Teletraan I to calculate the location of the Decepticons' [[space bridge]], so that the Autobots could use it to travel to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and retrieve the parts needed to repair the wounded Optimus Prime. This was the beginning of a longstanding "relationship" between Chip and Teletraan; Chip seemed to be the authority on the use of the computer, and in the future, he would often be called in to use it in ways that the Autobots themselves seemed unable to. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer}}

[[Image:Sosdinos grimlock blasts teletraan.jpg|left|225px|That'll be the last time Teletraan I sasses Grimlock about his weight problems.|thumb]]

When catastrophic heat loss began occurring all around the world, Teletraan I tracked the source of the temperature disruption to Decepticon activity in the North Pole. {{storylink|Fire in the Sky}} Soon after, Teletraan I was badly damaged by the newly-created [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]'s fire breath when he and his fellow [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] went on a rampage, leaving the Autobots unable to received a distress call from the [[Great Falls]] hydroelectric power plant when it was attacked by Decepticons. {{storylink|S.O.S. Dinobots}} Once it was repaired, Teletraan relayed footage from a Sky Spy of Decepticon operations in Peru, {{storylink|Fire on the Mountain}} and helped track down an unstable meteorite when the villains stole it. {{storylink|War of the Dinobots}}

[[Image:Heavymetalwar constructicons target teletraan.jpg|right|300px|thumb|[[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] wants that lollipop!]]

Under Decepticon mind-control, [[Sparkplug Witwicky]] sabotaged Teletraan I so that Megatron's forces would able to attack the Autobots' base without the computer warning of their approach. To save his Autobot allies, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] literally threw a wrench into Teletraan's systems and triggered its fire-suppressant systems, dousing the Decepticons with circuit-damaging [[fire-retardant foam]] and forcing them to withdraw. {{storylink|The Ultimate Doom, Part 1}} Although soon repaired by the Autobots, it was not long before Teletraan was again targeted by the Decepticons, when Megatron dispatched the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] to destroy it so that it could not inform the Autobots of his plan to cheat in a one-on-one duel with Optimus Prime. Luckily, Teletraan I summoned the Dinobots to defend itself, and soon made the Autobots aware of Megatron's deception. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}}

Teletraan I sounded the alarm to warn the Autobots of a Decepticon attack on the Air Force's new rocket base, but when Spike was injured in the battle that resulted, his mind had to be transferred into a hastily-constructed robot body. To keep him entertained while they waited for his human body to be healed, Wheeljack patched a television station through Teletraan I, but Spike reacted badly to an airing of ''Frankenstein''. {{storylink|Autobot Spike}}

[[Image:Attackotautobots prime punches teletraan.jpg|left|225px|thumb|"[[Slag (slang)|Slag it]]! I hate these breaking news bulletins! I’m missing ''Desperate [[Female Transformer|Fembots]]''!"]]

Using invisibility spray to evade Teletraan's sensors, Megatron and Starscream planted a [[personality destabilizer device]] within the computer's recharging chamber, which corrupted the Autobots' minds when they re-energized themselves. Teletraan was in the process of briefing the Autobots on the launch of a new solar-power satellite when the evil impulses took hold of them. Megatron mocked Teletraan I and its claims that his plan would not succeed, then had Optimus Prime plunge his fist into Teletraan's databanks, knocking it offline. Sparkplug Witwicky managed to repair the computer, and it helped them track down the rogue Autobots and bring them back to their senses with [[attitude exchanger]]s. {{storylink|Attack of the Autobots}}

Teletraan I was responsible for alerting the Autobots to [[Carly]]'s capture by the Decepticons, {{storylink|The Immobilizer}} analyzing the effects of the villains' transformation-freezing [[Transfixatron]], {{storylink|The Autobot Run}} and relaying warnings to Optimus Prime of the Decepticons' manipulations of [[TORQ III]]. {{storylink|Day of the Machines}} However, Teletraan soon met its match in a pair of fellow non-living mechanisms when its [[World Energy Chip]] was stolen by the robot ninja [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]], {{storylink|Enter the Nightbird}} and it proved unable to distinguish a clone of Optimus Prime from the genuine article. {{storylink|A Prime Problem}}

[[Image:Dinobotisland2_chip_and_teletraan.jpg|right|thumb|225px|"Sweet! You know how good my [[Xbox 360 robot|360]] would look on this screen?!"]]

As the Decepticons began drilling towards the Earth's core, Teletraan accurately predicted the disastrous consequences their evil mission would have. {{storylink|The Core}} Later, Teletraan was nearly damaged by another Dinobot rampage, but was protected from injury by [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]]'s forcefield. The Dinobots were dispatched to train on the prehistoric "[[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]]", which had previously been discovered by the Autobots when Teletraan detected strange energy waves emanating from it. {{storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 1}} Unfortunately, the Decepticons followed the Dinobots to the island and began draining its energies, causing time warps to appear all over the Earth. Chip again used Teletraan's computing power to track the warps and trace them back to Dinobot Island. {{storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 2}} Soon after, Teletraan alerted the Autobots when [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] was shot down by Decepticons {{storylink|The Master Builders}} and helped design a forcefield projector to fend off the [[Heart of Cybertron]]-powered Megatron. {{storylink|Microbots}}

[[Image:Masterplan2 teletraan destroyed.jpg|left|225px|thumb|"So that's where I hid the firecrackers..."]]

When the Autobots were framed for evil deeds by the Decepticons and exiled from Earth, Teletraan was left behind, its software connected to the guidance systems of the rocket carrying the Autobots off into space. With the Autobots on their way, Megatron entered the abandoned Autobot Headquarters and reprogrammed Teletraan I to send the Autobots not back to Cybertron, but into the heart of the sun. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1}} The Autobots were saved from immolation by Trailbreaker's forcefield, but [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] proved unable to carry the forcefield containing them back to Earth, his own guidance systems still slave to the reprogrammed commands from Teletraan. Simultaneously, on Earth, Chip Chase escaped the slave camp the Decepticons had set up in the Autobots' absence and stole back to Autobot Headquarters, in hopes of using Teletraan to learn what had become of the Autobots. He was followed by [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], who cruelly removed Chip's last shred of hope by opening fire on Teletraan and blowing the computer up. With Teletraan's destruction, however, Cosmos's guidance systems came back under his control, and he was able to quickly bring the Autobots back to Earth to clear their names and rout the Decepticons. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2}}

[[Image:Dotdinos2 teletraan simulation.jpg|right|225px|thumb|"He-Man"]]

By the time Teletraan I was rebuilt and functioning again, it was the Autobots themselves who were breaking down, thanks to the degeneration of the [[cybertonium]] in their systems. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}} Spike and Carly voyaged to Cybertron with the Dinobots to recover fresh cybertonium to restore the Autobots, and Sparkplug was able to use Teletraan to communicate with them and guide them through the maze-like planet's structure. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2}}

Like all other communications equipment, Teletraan was rendered useless by the [[Voltronic Galaxer]], {{storylink|Blaster Blues}} but it was up and running in time to deduce that the content of the "Golden Lagoon" was [[electrum]]. {{storylink|The Golden Lagoon}} When Cosmos was stranded on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], Optimus Prime used Teletraan I to access his communicator and speak with the [[Titan (species)|native]] girl [[Talaria]]. {{storylink|The God Gambit}} After the Autobots set up a secondary command post in [[New York City]] disguised as a garage, a Teletraan I terminal was installed there, which scanned the city for Decepticon activity. {{storylink|Make Tracks}}

[[Image:Kremzeek and teletraan.jpg|left|thumb|225px| A wild Teletraan 1 appeared! Kreemzeek used thunder bolt! It's super effective!]]

When a group of Autobots were lost in a space bridge accident, even Teletraan I was unable to pinpoint their location. {{storylink|Child's Play (episode)|Child's Play}} The computer fared better in analyzing a sample of a mysterious asteroid the Decepticons were mining, reaching the shocking conclusion that it was an egg containing an [[Asteroid bird alien|alien beast]]. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}} A little later, Teletraan I's circuits were scrambled by an encounter with the crazed energy imp [[Kremzeek]], and the computer became rather distressed at the prospect of Martian flamingoes stealing ammonia from supermarkets and the decreasing ratio of choco-rations, broadcasting its crazy messages over any available channel. {{storylink|Kremzeek!}}

[[Image:Primetarget teletraan bulletin.jpg|right|thumb|225px|"Who is the giant man who sits behind the window?"]]

The Autobots were in the middle of watching ''[[As the Kitchen Sinks]]'' on Teletraan I when a new bulletin interrupted their viewing experience. More urgent matters then arose, as Teletraan relayed communications from demented big-game hunter [[Lord Chumley]].{{storylink|Prime Target}}. Teletraan's New York City terminal later correctly deduced that the Decepticons were using ultra-sonic transmission to mind-control humans, {{storylink|Auto-Bop}} and later still, Teletraan located the space bridge for Optimus Prime so that he could travel to Cybertron to rescue [[Elita One]], {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}} and discovered the existence of a new sub-orbital Decepticon station. {{storylink|The Girl Who Loved Powerglide}}

When Teletraan I alerted the Autobots to the latest activation of the Decepticon space bridge, Optimus Prime realized that Megatron was taking his new [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] to Cybertron so that the mega-computer [[Vector Sigma]] could bring them to life. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}} When the Decepticons then returned to Earth with Vector Sigma's [[Key to Vector Sigma|key]], Teletraan tracked their movements across [[Seattle]]. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}} A few weeks later, Teletraan detected the villains' work on the [[Kronosphere]] time machine on Cybertron, and the Autobots sprang into action. {{storylink|War Dawn}}

Teletraan I relayed the history of [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]] and its destruction of the lost Autobot legion of [[Antilla]] to the Autobots when they became infected with the disease, before its own systems began to malfunction thanks to the plague. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}} After being cured, Teletraan I continued to play historian, giving the Autobots a run-down on the dissident "[[Renegade Decepticon]]s" that Starscream had recently resurrected as the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}
[[Image:FFoD5 ArkvsTrypticon.jpg|left|thumb|"Stop shooting! I come in peace, for [[Primus]]'s sake! It's bad enough I'm getting shot at by a mountain-side! I mean, erm... RAAWWR..?]]

In its final recorded adventures in the twentieth century, Teletraan I helped the Autobots capture the Stunticons by pinpointing the road-raging robots' locations, {{storylink|Masquerade}} and was used by college students [[Elise Presser|Elise]], [[Martin and Roland]] to remote-control their robotic creation [[B.O.T. (robot)|B.O.T.]] into destroying the Decepticons' new [[orbit disruptor cannon]]. {{storylink|B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.}}

Over the following twenty years, the Autobots' main base of operations shifted from Autobot Headquarters to the newly constructed [[Autobot City]], equipped with its own Teletraan-model computer, [[Teletraan II]]. Nonetheless, Teletraan I remained in operation until 2005, when Autobot Headquarters was attacked by the monolithic [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]] instructed Teletraan I to activate the volcano's defenses and the computer complied, opening fire on Trypticon with a battery of huge cannons. Alas, the effort was not enough; Trypticon strode through the barrage and destroyed the volcano, Autobot Headquarters, and presumably Teletraan I with them. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

=====Scramble City: Mobilization=====

Discovering the location of the secret factory in which the Autobots were constructing their "[[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]]" battle fortress, Megatron deployed the Constructicons to attack it. Teletraan I detected the villains' movements, and Optimus Prime mobilized a squad of Autobots to stop them. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

=====''The Stargate Battles'' comic=====

When a small group of Autobots visited [[Japan]] to investigate unusual frequent earthquakes in the region, Optimus Prime used Teletraan I to communicate with [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]. Hound requested that he be allowed to stay in Japan to investigate, and Prime allowed it, ordering Teletraan to summon all the available Autobots in the area to back him up. {{storylink|Activation}}

=====''15 Go! Go!'' comic=====

[[Image:Teletraan 15 smashes teletraan 1.jpg|right|130px|thumb|]]

By 2005, the Autobots had developed numerous "humanoid computers" that acted as "living" extensions of Teletraan I, including the luckless [[Teletraan 15]] and the perpetually flustered [[Teletraan 10]]. 15 and 10 were both stationed on the artificial Earth satellite, [[Nana]].

Hoping to use the "[[bio]] and [[Tech Spec]]" data stored within Teletraan I to alter the course of history, the Decepticon Ravage travelled back in time from three centuries in the future, arriving in 2005... only to discover that Teletraan I's databanks had been damaged by a mysterious saboteur. Ravage (under the alias of "Black Panther Man") positioned himself aboard Nana and became Teletraan 10 and 15's commanding officer, dispatching 15 on a mission to travel through time aboard his [[transwarp cruiser]] to reacquire all the lost data, straight from all the various sources. {{storylink|15 Go! Go!|15 Go! Go! chapter 1}}

After two years of time travel, the unexpected happened: a security tape was finally unearthed that revealed the identity of the sabouter as Teletraan 15 herself! The baffled Teletraan 15 was imprisoned, but was soon liberated by the [[Kiss Players (singing group)|Kiss Players]] cassettes and discovered Ravage's true goal for Teletraan I's data. {{storylink|15 Go! Go!|15 Go! Go! chapter 25}} Realizing what she had to do, Teletraan 15 escaped into the past aboard the transwarp cruiser to fulfil the time loop she had become part of, destroying Teletraan I's databanks in 2005 and putting them out of Ravage's reach in the first place. {{storylink|15 Go! Go!|15 Go! Go! chapter 26}}

=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====

Teletraan I was evidently rebuilt at the Autobots' secondary command post on the planet [[Athenia]] in 2011. The only time it was referred to by name was when it was used to transmit a message to Galvatron about the prospect of an Autobot/Decepticon alliance to create a joint energy development programme. {{storylink|Daniel Faces His Biggest Crisis Ever!!}}

===''Beast Wars'' cartoon===
:''Voice Actor:'' [[David Sobolov]] (English), ? (Japanese)

When inscribing his message into the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] included the access codes to Teletraan I to carry out the attempt to destroy [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] before the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] began on [[Earth]]. [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] managed to steal the codes, and after [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] attempted to kill Prime, she used them to activate Teletraan I's repair equipment. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}} {{storylink|Optimal Situation}}

Later, after the [[Maximal]]s were forced to move into Mount St. Hilary after the destruction of the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'', [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] attempted to use Teletraan I's own shield system to protect their fortifications. However, Autobot technology and Maximal technology were too different to make a successful shield system. {{storylink|Changing of the Guard}}

After Blackarachnia transferred the access codes to [[Optimus Primal]], the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] took control of Primal using a device created by [[Tarantulas]]. After Megatron merged his [[spark]] with his Decepticon ancestor and namesake, Tarantulas betrayed Megatron and set Teletraan I to self-destruct. Blackarachnia attempted to deactivate the overload. Teletraan I deactivated the overload and wished Blackarachnia to "have a nice day". {{storylink|Master Blaster}}

===Devil's Due ''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers'' comics===
When [[Cobra]] broke into the ''Ark'' in 2003, they unknowingly reactivated Teletran-One. The computer subsequently revived [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], the only two Transformers aboard the ship that Cobra failed to take with them. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 4|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #4}}

{{note|The computer's name is spelled Teletran-One in its sole mention in this continuity.}}

==Spelling and pronunciation==
[[Image:ActionCards TeletranI.gif|left|250px|thumb|Got that? Good, now forget it.]]

Because Teletraan I came from the non-written medium of television, its proper spelling is unclear, and fans have often spelled it with a single "a". This choice is backed up by [[Action Cards]] and the [[Tech-Spec Manual|S.T.A.R.S. Tech-Spec Manual]], which both say "Teletran I", and the ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide|Ultimate Guide]],'' which says "Teletran-1". However, [[The Transformers Sticker Book (1986)|one sticker book]] is known to spell it "Teletraan 1", and none of these sources is superior to the rest. Therefore, this wiki defaults to the spelling used in the episode scripts<ref>[http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/PrimeProblemCast.jpg Cast list] from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|''Generation 1'' cartoon]] episode "[[A Prime Problem]]"</ref><ref>[http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/FireInTheSkyScriptPage.jpg Script] from the episode "[[Fire in the Sky]]"</ref> and [[production bible]]:<ref>[http://transformers.winterchill.com/bible/biblepage3.html Page describing Teletraan I] from the production bible</ref> "Teletraan I", with two "a"s, a roman numeral, and no hyphen. Not only is its use more consistent and widespread over time than the smattering of obscure, contradictory published examples, but it also maintains congruity with "Teletraan II", whose episode-script spelling was also double-"a".<ref>[http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/ChaosCast.jpg Cast list] from the episode "[[Chaos (episode)|Chaos]]"</ref> For consistency's sake, the double-"a" remains our default when we translate [[Teletraan 10|Japanese]] [[Teletraan 15|names]], or when the official English translation has [[Teletraan I (RID)|never been seen written out]].

Pronunciation has been a matter of much less contention, since the word was always pronouned "tell-uh-tran" in the original series. However, for some reason the ''Beast Wars'' voice actors pronounced the last syllable "tron". Perhaps in response to dissatisfaction among fans, in [[Nemesis Part 2|the final episode of the series]], [[Rattrap]] annoyedly corrects [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] with the original pronunciation (to which Blackarachnia replies, "What''ever!"'').

==Notes==
[[Image:15GoGoTeletraan1.jpg|right|180px|thumb|So this is like... [[Auntie]], but with curls?]]

* It appears that [[Yūki Ōshima]] had plans to use Teletraan I in his ''[[15 Go! Go!]]'' series. A sketch of what seems to be a floating, glowing female head representing Teletraan I appears in Ōshima's ''15 Go! Go!'' / ''[[Kiss Players (franchise)|Kiss Players]]'' compilation book. This was never seen in the actual series; it is unknown why the idea was dropped.

{{disambig3|Brawl}}
{{disambig3.5|the character known on-screen as Devastator from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]]|the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[combiner]]|Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator}}
:''Brawl is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]]. He is sometimes referred to as '''Devastator''', and sometimes has a ''twin'' called Devastator.''

[[Image:Movie Brawl gamerender.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Maybe he was ''talking'' to Devastator earlier and got confused.]]

To say '''Brawl''' is a warrior is like calling [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] a hunk of metal. Brawl does not just enjoy fighting, he is consumed by it. Tearing Autobots apart is embedded into his very core, and every fiber-optic cable of his being is obsessed with wild, unyielding combat. The only thing he enjoys, or even cares about, is the fury of battle. And he ''loves'' a good explosion. Particularly if it's one he created, and if it's an [[Autobot]] that is exploding.

While it's not uncommon for ambition or independent thinking to cause trouble in the Decepticon ranks, Brawl's never had that problem. This is mostly because he suffers from a severe lack of both qualities. Where others question orders, Brawl simply carries them out, perfectly happy to let Megatron do all his thinking for him.

== Fiction ==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance3_BrawlCrankcaseBarricade.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Brawl keeps quiet about the fact that he'd been napping for the past 30 minutes.]]

Many years in the past, Brawl was a member of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron's]] defense forces, under the command of Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. After the discovery of a [[The Fallen|mysterious relic]] and an alien attack {{Storylink|Defiance issue 1}}, Megatron changed significantly, altering the military's mission from one of protection of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to making war upon the hostile aliens and anybody who would stand in their way. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2}} Brawl was sent on a mission to capture science division leader (and thorn in Megatron's side) [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] and eliminate his fellow scientists and the unwitting security team sent to arrest him. Brawl fired an explosive round that scattered the "traitors", but the wily Optimus managed to bury [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and his fliers under a mountain of rubble. They survived and subsequently joined Megatron's new "Decepticon" faction. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3}}

[[Image:Movie Brawl protoform.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Spacebrawls]]

During the war, while [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] forces assaulted the Autobots at [[Tyger Pax]], Brawl bashed his way past faltering Autobot defenders, bringing news that Megatron knew where the All Spark was. When Starscream excitedly declared that he must go to the cube, Brawl questioned his loyalty, prompting [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] to threaten the latter with violence lest he not take the group to Megatron. After witnessing Megatron leave Cybertron to chase after the escaping All Spark, the Decepticons followed. {{storylink|Planetfall}}

They boarded a Decepticon battlecruiser and gave chase to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] starship, only to fall prey to an Autobot trap. After repairing their ship, they followed the All Spark's trace energy pulse to the fourth planet of a distant solar system, where they encountered [[Beagle 2 Rover|a primitive lifeform]] that have could have been born from the All Spark's energy. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1}}

The Decepticons landed on Earth and were detected by a nearby [[United States Military|US air base]], which sent an armoured personnel carrier to investigate. Brawl took the words right out of Bonecrusher's mouth, remarking that at last there was something to kill. Wreckage assumed the form of the carrier vehicle, destroyed it, then led Starscream's unit to the base. Brawl trans-scanned a nearby human tank and joined the others in leveling the base. {{storylink|Planetfall}}

{{note|In the panel where the Decepticons react to the arrival of the armoured personnel carrier, it is likely that Bonecrusher's speech bubble regarding the military base was actually meant for Wreckage (as the latter was the one who tracked the base location), and that Brawl was incorrectly given Bonecrusher's own speech bubble about killing things.}}

===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Movie Devastator TitanIssue2.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Yeah, I got two names - wanna make something of it?!]]

<strike>Brawl</strike> Devastator was known as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s "pet weapon of mass destruction". Nonchalant and cavalier (he even has bandoliers of bullets!), he follows a single guiding principle - "keep it ''stupid''... simple!".

He also looks physically similar to Brawl, who's some other guy. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3|#3's Mech Mail}}

Megatron threw him at the Autobots so he could reach the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]], and had armed him with a [[foldspace warhead]]. When the Autobots pointed out that at this range, the warhead would take him out as well, he replied "Eh. So?" and fired anyway. He loves a good explosion ''that much''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Prelude: Megatron}}

[[Image:Movie Devastator TitanIssue4.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Your gas comes out of where??]]

Devastator ended up warped to an uninhabited world covered with cities, and out of sheer boredom went around smashing a lot of it before he realized he should try getting off the planet. Yet every time he attempted to focus long enough to find a way to do so, he would be mysteriously and suddenly filled with a violent rage that would make him smash and blow up more stuff. Eventually he was able to concentrate long enough to find and scan a vehicle mode as well as lock onto an energy source he can use to replenish his fuel reserves to leave the planet.

The mysterious [[Flame (Movie)|Flame]], a power source that drove the planet's inhabitants to murder, tried to influence his mind towards rampaging until his fuel ran out; as he got nearer to it, it created apparitions of the other Decepticons that taunted him for his stupidity and attacked him. This failed to influence him as it would require Devastator to have introspection, or care about being stupid - instead, he simply carried on to the Flame, absorbed some of it, and left the planet. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4|Lost In Space 2: Devastator}}

{{note|The event below is unique to the Titan Magazines comics continuity.}}

A mere half-hour after Megatron's death and before his body was dumped in the sea, Devastator was resurrected by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] as a mindless zombie, a soulless monster that would only destroy. It's what he would've wanted. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 7|Starscream's Militia}}

{{notetitantlg}}
That other guy Brawl, who was much more wordier when he talked, tore up part of Baltimore as part of a Decepticon campaign to force America into getting rid of the Autobots. Piss off Brawl, we want Devastator! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}}
{{-}}

===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' prequel novel===
Brawl was oddly absent from events surrounding the ''[[Ghost 1]]'' discovery. Whether he was aboard the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]'' and otherwise indisposed or joined up with [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] at a later date is unknown. {{storylink|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

===''Transformers'' (2007) film===
[[Image:Decepticons highway.JPG|left|250px|thumb|Bra—um, I mean, Devastator does not care if this is suspicious. He will shoot anyone who objects.]]
Brawl (also named "Devastator" here) was lying in wait at a military depot when Starscream contacted the Decepticon infiltration team, informing them that the All Spark had been found and they were to move out. Devastator acknowledged that he was in transit and [[Roll out|rolled out]] of the depot. He met up with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] and hit the highway, though Devastator separated from the group before Barricade and Bonecrusher got on the freeway and met up with Autobot/human convoy.

Arriving at [[Mission City]] in the aftermath of Starscream's opening attack on the Autobots and their [[William Lennox|human]] [[Robert Epps|allies]], Devastator fired shells from his main gun, narrowly missing several targets before running over vehicles abandoned by human bystanders. As the American soldiers fanned out in search of cover, the Autobots charged Devastator. He focused his attacks on [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who was forced to somersault over his shells. This distraction allowed the Autobot Jazz to jump on top of Devastator and point his cannon away from the humans. Devastator managed to transform and throw the smaller Autobot off him, but not before Jazz destroyed his left side rocket launcher pod.

[[Image:Brawl Mission City.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Devast—um, I mean, Brawl says, "Surrender or perish!"]]
Damaged, but not down, Devastator fired two rockets from his remaining launcher, missing the heavily armed Autobot as he somersaulted over the missiles. Ironhide and Jazz managed to fire several shots at Devastator, disorienting him. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] followed up by using his buzzsaw to slice off Devastator's left arm. The humans then fired a volley of sabot rounds while Ratchet supported with suppressive fire, knocking Devastator to the ground. The only thing that saved him was the Autobots and humans' retreat at the arrival of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. Eventually, Ironhide and Ratchet disengaged from the battle as they left to protect [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]], who was escaping with the All Spark, while Jazz took on Megatron. Now with fewer targets to deal with, Devastator sprayed heavy [[machine gun]] fire at the remaining humans, whose leader remarked that the battle was not going well.

[[Image:Movie Brawl dies.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Ah, I'll just read the bullet with my name on it. THAT should settle the argument!]]
Devastator continued to pin down the soldiers until the damaged Autobot [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] suddenly attacked while on the back of of a tow truck driven by Ladiesman217's [[Mikaela Banes|female companion]]. Devastator tried to return fire, only for his machine gun, his last ranged weapon, to be destroyed by Bumblebee's [[plasma cannon]]. With the Autobot's return to battle being the deciding factor, the human soldiers rallied and fired more sabots, piercing Devastator's armor until a final shot from Bumblebee struck Devastator's spark and killed him. Devastator died as he lived: destroying things, for his chassis crashed into the building the human soldiers had taken refuge in.

Devastator's body was dumped into the deepest part of [[Laurentian Abyss]] along with his fellow Decepticons, in the hopes the intense pressure and cold will destroy whatever remained. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

Before arriving on Earth, Brawl seriously injured Jazz in a battle on a barren world in deep space. {{storylink|Jazz (Movie)#Premium|Premium Jazz bio}}

Not many can make Brawl laugh, but one person who can is Ratchet. Watching him run around a battlefield after Brawl has sent a crowd of foes flying, trying to save as many lives as possible {{m-}} that cracks Brawl right up! {{storylink|#Legends Class toys|Rescue Ratchet Vs Decepticon Brawl}} Following an infusion of AllSpark energy, Brawl found his cannons more powerful than ever. {{storylink|#AllSparkBrawl|AllSpark-enhanced Brawl}}

In the final battle, Brawl was ''not'' killed, but saturated with power from the AllSpark and freed from the influence of Megatron. He disappeared into the rugged land around the Hoover Dam. Making his way over the course of months to the most dangerous place on Earth (presumably the [[Middle East]]), he adapted his vehicle mode to the new environment, went to ground and hid from the Autobot patrols. Brawl now gains up energy from the blazing sun, and emerges only to satisfy his hunger for destruction by attacking and annihilating anything that comes across him. {{storylink|#Fast Action Battlers|Desert Blast Brawl}} {{storylink|#Leader Class toys|Deep Desert Brawl (2007)}}

===Beast Wars Diorama Story===

At some point, Brawl and multiple Autobots and Decepticons traversed dimensions and found themselves on a different [[Earth]], in the distant past. They crossed paths with new Transformer factions, the [[Maximal]]s and the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, who were engaged in a conflict called the [[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]. A battle broke out between the four factions. The Autobots and the Decepticons eventually returned to their home dimension, leaving the Maximals and Predacons behind to settle the Beast Wars. {{storylink|Beast Wars Diorama Story}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' toy bios===
The Autobots never found him, but he seethed with rage at hiding in defeat and having to wait for a new leader to emerge. Now Megatron is back from the dead, Brawl is ready to tear into the Autobots again! {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 2|Deep Desert Brawl (2009)}}

Brawl is one of the most experienced and cunning warriors to ever emerge from Cybertron's great war: a vicious, instinctive fighter, bred for victory. This stands in stark contrast to the tactical mind of Ironhide, the Autobot weapons-master. As they hunt each other through a desolate desert, they both know that only one of them will walk away from their inevitable battle. {{storylink|#Titanium Series 2|Deep Desert Brawl (Titanium)}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
In the aftermath of the battle in Mission City, [[Sector Seven]] hauled away Brawl's corpse along with the other Decepticon bodies. The clandestine human organisation brought the bodies to a secret facility in the Nevada desert, with the intention of getting every bit of information they can out of the dead Decepticons before they were forced to dump them into the sea. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1}} One month after the battle of Mission City, the Autobots helped Sector Seven escort Megatron, Brawl, and Blackout's bodies to [[San Diego]], where the [[United States Navy]] would transport them to the drop site at the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}}

===Transformers (2010) toy bios===
As Brawl advanced with a horde of his fellow Decepticon warriors towards an Autobot force entrenched among ancient ruins in a desert, he presumably had no idea that [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] was eyeballing him for a take-down. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 3|Desert Ruins Brawl}}

Brawl arrived in [[Mission City]] shortly after [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] took down [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and a pair of [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwings]] single-handedly. The Autobot's victory was short-lived... and so was the Autobot, as Brawl punctured Jazz's chest with his claw, extinguishing his [[spark]] whilst commenting on how he loved the way that Autobots died. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] arrived just in time to witness the killing, and fought through a horde of Decepticon units to destroy Brawl. Man Ironhide is obsessed. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)}}

====Decepticon campaign====


[[Image:Brawlmovie tank activision.jpg|right|180px|thumb|I have many, many guns; I can call myself whatever I want! From now on, you will all refer to me by the name...Betty.]]
Brawl, [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] and Starscream were hiding out in a human military installation in the desert when they received word that [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] had discovered the location of the AllSpark. When the three Decepticons mobilized, the two ground-based machines were assaulted by tanks designed to fire holding beams of electrical energy, forcing Starscream to back-and-forth babysit the two Decepticons as they tried to escape.

Brawl later stood by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's]] side in Washington D.C. after they had retrieved the All Spark from the destroyed Autobots and had decimated pretty much everything in their path. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)}}

{{note|Brawl was not a playable character in the console versions of the game.}}

===''Transformers: Autobots''===
As Optimus Prime attempted to rendez-vous with the other Autobots near Hoover Dam, Brawl blocked his only path — a hidden Air Force hangar tunneled into the canyon. He fought Prime with all his might, but the Autobot leader was too much for him. As Sector 7 tanks arrived, he converted to his vehicle mode, managing to con the tanks into his own reinforcements. In his tank mode, Prime could no longer damage him as much and had to resort to smashing the tanks into Brawl to damage him. In the end, Prime put him out of commission. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}

===''Transformers: Decepticons''===
Brawl first appears in Qatar, where, under the command of [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|a Create-A-Bot]], he is commanded to prevent a convoy from entering a nearby village (recognizable by moviegoers as the town where Lennox fought [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]) to prevent the humans from getting an upper hand over the [[N.B.E.|N.B.E.s]]. At the Hoover Dam, he is sent to capture a human tank, which he retrieves intact so as to interrogate the occupant human. Once the interrogation is done, the tank doesn't stay intact long, as he can be seen merrily destroying it while Create-A-Bot converses with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. Later, he faces off against [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] in a 1-on-1 street brawl involving an apparent grudge over a past encounter. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Decepticons}}

:Released as part of the ''AllSpark Battles'' line refresh alongside a repainted [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] in his Rescue Ratchet colors, this Legends class two-pack contains Brawl who transforms into a tiny tank and features limited articulation.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed to make ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Tankor (ROTF)|Tankor]].

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Deluxe Brawl toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Don't let them know about my arm problem or they won't buy me.]]
*'''Decepticon Brawl''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-03'''
**''Accessories'': Missile

: Deluxe-class Brawl transforms into a heavily modified fictional tank based upon an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#M1 Abrams|M1A1 Abrams]], fitted with angular reflective armor, a mine plow and external spare fuel canisters. Mounted upon the turret is a smaller sub-turret housing two anti-aircraft cannons and rocket launchers. The spring-loaded main cannon fires a translucent red projectile.

: During transformation to robot mode, [[Automorph|automorphing]] pushes down on the front of his tank during transformation raises the front of the treads and his head up into position for his robot mode, and vice versa for the tank mode. He is armed with his spring-loaded main gun on his right arm and a flip-out blade on his left.

: There is a [[design flaw]] in the way Brawl's arms attach to his torso: The rhombic peg and socket system used does not provide a tight enough fit, and thus the arms have a tendency to detach at the shoulder when moved. There have also been quite a few reports of the teeny-tiny automorph gears—molded out of fragile, translucent plastic—cracking and breaking into pieces, leaving the automorph non-functional.

{{-}}

*'''Deluxe three-pack''' (Multi-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Missile

: This Sam's Club [[exclusive]] three-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe Class Decepticon Brawl together with equally unchanged Deluxe Class [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] toys. It also comes with a nifty poster depicting all three toys in a standoff scene. Not so nifty is that the box accidentally places Brawl and Bonecrusher's bios underneath each other.

{{-}}

*'''Deluxe three-pack''' (Multi-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories'': Missile

: This three-pack, which was available at general retail in the United Kingdom, contains an unchanged Deluxe Class Decepticon Brawl together with equally unchanged Deluxe Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Protoform Optimus Prime]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] toys.

*'''Ultimate Bumblebee Bonus Value pack''' (Multi-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Missile

*'''All Spark-Enhanced Decepticon Brawl''' (Target Exclusive Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Missile

: This Target exclusive features the Deluxe Class Brawl in unique cylindrical packaging, with the only difference from his standard release being that key robot mode parts are highlighted by the slavish 'All Spark Blue' color for no other reason than [[to sell toys]].

{{-}}

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:MovieLeaderDecepticonBrawl.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''Ops, my head!'']]
*'''Decepticon Brawl''' (Leader Class, 2007)

: The larger, more heavily armed version of Brawl, this figure is more accurate to the character's CGI model, with more articulation and weapons than the Deluxe-class figure.

: While having no firing missiles, it does feature a number of [[Automorph]] gimmicks. First, pressing the button on the front of the tank causes his head and chest pieces to move into position. A scoop/claw has been added to the front of the tank, probably to make the lever to push his head back down stand out less. Second, pressing the headlights on either side of the front end causes the paneling to swing back into place. Finally, Brawl has automorph weapons on each of his forearms - his right arm has a quadruple-barreled cannon that extends as you slide a switch forward, while his left features a swing-out claw, deployed by pulling back the arm's cannon.

: Other features include lights and sounds, activated by pushing back on the main cannon or turning the upper turret. The turret sounds can also be activated by pressing the two small buttons on the top of the turret, on either side of the machine gun. A pair of blades can also swing down from the legs.

: Possibly due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]] or just the desire on the part of the designers to not see fragile parts break, the main cannon and anti-aircraft guns on Brawl's turrets detach from their mounting points rather easily.

[[Image:Movie Leader DeepDesert Brawl toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|... [[Sandstorm (OC)|Sandstorm]]? Is that you?]]
*'''Deep Desert Brawl''' (Leader Class, 2008)

: An extensive [[redeco]] of Leader Class Brawl in desert colors, as part of the ''AllSpark Power'' refresh of the movie toyline. His vehicle mode comes with battle damage carbon scoring as well as Autobot "kill" markings. His clear plastic parts are cast in bright translucent blue, along with the bright blue paint seen on his robot mode, a color accent he has in common with the rest of the ''AllSpark Power'' toys.

[[Image:Movie FAB Brawl.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Do not taunt Happy Fun Brawl.]]
*'''Double Missile Decepticon Brawl''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles

: "Double Missile Brawl" is a simplified version of Brawl. Designed for younger children, his transformation is designed with speedy conversion in mind, with relatively few steps compared to the Deluxe class Brawl. Additionally, in an effort to keep the design sturdy for play and safety, he has relatively low articulation for a figure of his size, while the design style of the figure is more rounded and 'friendly'. Two pressure-launched missiles are fired from his two missile pods.

*'''Decepticon Brawl''' (Cyber Slammer, 2007)

: [[Cyber Slammers]] Brawl is an amazingly cute tank that transforms into an amazingly cute sentient machine of mass destruction. "Slam" his robot mode down into tank mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Brawl manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

===Titanium Series===
[[Image:Movie TitaniumRM Brawl.jpg|right|120px|thumb|Why do I not look this cool?!!]]
*'''Decepticon Brawl''' ( 3-inch Robot Masters, 2007)

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Brawl is a die-cast metal and plastic figurine, with an accurate sculpt based on the CG model (or the concept designs) owing to the fact he doesn't need to transform. Being a figurine, he only has articulation in his shoulders and waist. Brawl comes with a Movie-style Decepticon symbol display stand.

===''Revenge of the Fallen''===
[[Image:ROTF_Deluxe_DeepDesertBrawl_toy.jpg|thumb|300px|My shoulder's fixed. Now buy me.]]
*'''Deep Desert Brawl''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Accessories'': Missile

:Released as part of the many-times-revised wave 7 of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxes, Deep Desert Brawl is a [[retool]] of 2007's Deluxe class Brawl in a desert camouflage colour scheme similar to the 2008 [[Fast Action Battlers]] Desert Blast Brawl. The arm issue from the previous release has been corrected, and the transparent plastic gears of the initial release have been replaced with less fragile opaque plastic.

: The [[stock photography|stock photo]] pictured on the back of his package is clearly a hand-painted toy with a ''lot'' of differences from the final product. The chocolate-brown plastic is nowhere to be seen, and the entire toy is done up in a much more subtle, natural blend of tans and browns.


:During part of 2010, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/transformers-toy-giveaway.cfm Hasbro did a promotion] wherein US fans could receive three free Deluxes in exchange for receipts showing the purchase of $25 or more of select ''Transformers'' product. As noted in [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69645&st=0 this thread over at Allspark.com], and later confirmed by [http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HT83971G3 this listing here], this version of Brawl was one of a pool of eight figures (all from the same wave) from which the free Deluxes were drawn.

: Brawl is a 41-point "Rare" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from plastic cards, he can be assembled into his tank mode, or a sort of representation of his robot mode. Oddly enough, he does not actually have his movie-model head; rather, he uses a recolored version of [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]'s noggin slapped on the Brawl body.

: He uses the same construction as the [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]], [[Blitzwing (Energon Wars)|Blitzwing]] and [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]] cards.

: His card art was done by [[Lucio Parrillo]].

[[Image:Movie Brawl Devastatorsubtitle.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Maybe his combat subroutines are interfering with his memory.]]
* Working names for Brawl were "Demolisher"<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/objects/content/wallpaper.cfm?img=wp_transformers651_1280.jpg&brand_id=496&lang_id=1 Wallpaper at Hasbro's website calling Brawl/Devastator "Demolisher".]</ref> and "Devastator", the latter had also been a working name for [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] at one point.<ref>[http://www.benprocter.com/SITEv2/HTML/ZOOM_Trans/ZOOM_32.html Blackout-as-"Devastator" concept art at Ben Procter's online portfolio.]</ref> Even though [[Michael Bay]] confirmed in May of 2006 that "Devastator" was ''not'' the final name,<ref>[http://michaelbay.com/newsblog/files/586e45dbd5e89a45846b0ec668a70e03-12.html Michael Bay claiming that the Transformers' names circulating were "aliases".]</ref> screenwriters [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] confirmed the final name to be "Brawl" in April 2006,<ref>[http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808716430/video/2701721/20070418/2048/2701721-300-wmv-s.35907855-,2701721-300-flash-s.35907881-,2701721-100-wmv-s.35907849-,2701721-100-flash-s.35907874-,2701721-1000-wmv-s.35907866-,2701721-1000-flash-s.35907894-,2701721-700-flash-s.35907887-,2701721-700-wmv-s.35907861- Yahoo webcast with Kurtzman and Orci, revealing the final names of the movie characters.]</ref> and Hasbro used that name for all their toys based on the movie character, he identifies himself as "Devastator" in a subtitle in the [[Transformers (2007)|movie]] itself (even though the garbled audio used for his voice sounds an awful lot as if he says "''Brawl'', reporting"). According to a fan who attended the Australian press conference, Bay had confirmed that he had decided to use the name "Devastator" because he had preferred it,<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php?p=1360922&postcount=122 Australian fan griffin-of-oz reporting from the Australian press conference].</ref> while Hasbro considered the name in the movie a "continuity error",<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=139268 Hasbro Transformers Future Product Unveiling panel at BotCon 2007.]</ref> and Orci even claimed that he and Kurtzman had pointed out said "error" in the editing room twice.<ref>[http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=368555&postcount=4479 Orci confirming the name "Devastator" to be an "error".]</ref> But whoops, Titan Magazines had just done two strips with him called Devastator! The editor hurriedly stated in [[Transformers Comic issue 3|#3's letters page]] that Devastator was a different guy, honest, and a cover for a later issue made sure to identify Brawl as Brawl; so now there's ''two'' of them (and Brawl nicks Devastator's toys, the dastard)! Finally, IDW's ''Reign of Starscream'' retconned in that he was called Brawl at Mission City all along.
* And then ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' brought in two new guys called [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] and [[Brawl (ROTF)|Brawl]].
* Does your head hurt yet? This is normal.
* Despite rumors to the contrary, he is ''not credited'' in the film under either name.
* The name "Brawl" was previously also a working name for the character ultimately called [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/events/Botcon-2007/Hasbro-Tour/PICT5108.JPG.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1 Early design for Barricade with working name "Brawl" shown during the BotCon 2007 Hasbro Tour.]</ref>

* According to Picture Vehicle Coordinator [[Steve Mann]], the filming prop of Brawl was a redress of a tank prop made for another movie.<ref>[http://enewsi.com/news.php?catid=190&itemid=11213 Picture Vehicle Coordinator Steve Mann confirming Brawl/Devastator to be a redressed tank prop from another movie.]</ref> Specifically, it was the "stealth tank" seen in the film ''xXx: State of the Union''. Notable changes include the addition of missile launchers on the sides of the secondary turret and a mine plow on the front end of the tank.
* Jazz's move of racing-transforming-boarding Brawl is not completely unlike the scene in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' where [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] does the same thing with [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]. The DVD's special features confirm this was the inspiration.
* Brawl is the most heavily armed Transformer in the movie, followed by [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]. Unfortunately for him, he has no chance to unleash his full armament, as many of his weapons are broken before he can use them. For example, Jazz kicks off the four-tube missile launcher on his left shoulder, and Ratchet slices off his left arm at the elbow, blades and all. Don't you just hate wasted potential?

{{disambig3.5|the character known on-screen as Devastator from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]]|the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[combiner]]|Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator}}
:''Brawl is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]]. He is sometimes referred to as '''Devastator''', and sometimes has a ''twin'' called Devastator.''

[[Image:Movie Brawl gamerender.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Maybe he was ''talking'' to Devastator earlier and got confused.]]

To say '''Brawl''' is a warrior is like calling [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] a hunk of metal. Brawl does not just enjoy fighting, he is consumed by it. Tearing Autobots apart is embedded into his very core, and every fiber-optic cable of his being is obsessed with wild, unyielding combat. The only thing he enjoys, or even cares about, is the fury of battle. And he ''loves'' a good explosion. Particularly if it's one he created, and if it's an [[Autobot]] that is exploding.

While it's not uncommon for ambition or independent thinking to cause trouble in the Decepticon ranks, Brawl's never had that problem. This is mostly because he suffers from a severe lack of both qualities. Where others question orders, Brawl simply carries them out, perfectly happy to let Megatron do all his thinking for him.

== Fiction ==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance3_BrawlCrankcaseBarricade.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Brawl keeps quiet about the fact that he'd been napping for the past 30 minutes.]]

Many years in the past, Brawl was a member of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron's]] defense forces, under the command of Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. After the discovery of a [[The Fallen|mysterious relic]] and an alien attack {{Storylink|Defiance issue 1}}, Megatron changed significantly, altering the military's mission from one of protection of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to making war upon the hostile aliens and anybody who would stand in their way. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2}} Brawl was sent on a mission to capture science division leader (and thorn in Megatron's side) [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] and eliminate his fellow scientists and the unwitting security team sent to arrest him. Brawl fired an explosive round that scattered the "traitors", but the wily Optimus managed to bury [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and his fliers under a mountain of rubble. They survived and subsequently joined Megatron's new "Decepticon" faction. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3}}

[[Image:Movie Brawl protoform.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Spacebrawls]]

During the war, while [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] forces assaulted the Autobots at [[Tyger Pax]], Brawl bashed his way past faltering Autobot defenders, bringing news that Megatron knew where the All Spark was. When Starscream excitedly declared that he must go to the cube, Brawl questioned his loyalty, prompting [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] to threaten the latter with violence lest he not take the group to Megatron. After witnessing Megatron leave Cybertron to chase after the escaping All Spark, the Decepticons followed. {{storylink|Planetfall}}

They boarded a Decepticon battlecruiser and gave chase to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] starship, only to fall prey to an Autobot trap. After repairing their ship, they followed the All Spark's trace energy pulse to the fourth planet of a distant solar system, where they encountered [[Beagle 2 Rover|a primitive lifeform]] that have could have been born from the All Spark's energy. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1}}

The Decepticons landed on Earth and were detected by a nearby [[United States Military|US air base]], which sent an armoured personnel carrier to investigate. Brawl took the words right out of Bonecrusher's mouth, remarking that at last there was something to kill. Wreckage assumed the form of the carrier vehicle, destroyed it, then led Starscream's unit to the base. Brawl trans-scanned a nearby human tank and joined the others in leveling the base. {{storylink|Planetfall}}

{{note|In the panel where the Decepticons react to the arrival of the armoured personnel carrier, it is likely that Bonecrusher's speech bubble regarding the military base was actually meant for Wreckage (as the latter was the one who tracked the base location), and that Brawl was incorrectly given Bonecrusher's own speech bubble about killing things.}}

===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Movie Devastator TitanIssue2.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Yeah, I got two names - wanna make something of it?!]]

<strike>Brawl</strike> Devastator was known as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s "pet weapon of mass destruction". Nonchalant and cavalier (he even has bandoliers of bullets!), he follows a single guiding principle - "keep it ''stupid''... simple!".

He also looks physically similar to Brawl, who's some other guy. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3|#3's Mech Mail}}

Megatron threw him at the Autobots so he could reach the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]], and had armed him with a [[foldspace warhead]]. When the Autobots pointed out that at this range, the warhead would take him out as well, he replied "Eh. So?" and fired anyway. He loves a good explosion ''that much''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Prelude: Megatron}}

[[Image:Movie Devastator TitanIssue4.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Your gas comes out of where??]]

Devastator ended up warped to an uninhabited world covered with cities, and out of sheer boredom went around smashing a lot of it before he realized he should try getting off the planet. Yet every time he attempted to focus long enough to find a way to do so, he would be mysteriously and suddenly filled with a violent rage that would make him smash and blow up more stuff. Eventually he was able to concentrate long enough to find and scan a vehicle mode as well as lock onto an energy source he can use to replenish his fuel reserves to leave the planet.

The mysterious [[Flame (Movie)|Flame]], a power source that drove the planet's inhabitants to murder, tried to influence his mind towards rampaging until his fuel ran out; as he got nearer to it, it created apparitions of the other Decepticons that taunted him for his stupidity and attacked him. This failed to influence him as it would require Devastator to have introspection, or care about being stupid - instead, he simply carried on to the Flame, absorbed some of it, and left the planet. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4|Lost In Space 2: Devastator}}

{{note|The event below is unique to the Titan Magazines comics continuity.}}

A mere half-hour after Megatron's death and before his body was dumped in the sea, Devastator was resurrected by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] as a mindless zombie, a soulless monster that would only destroy. It's what he would've wanted. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 7|Starscream's Militia}}

{{notetitantlg}}
That other guy Brawl, who was much more wordier when he talked, tore up part of Baltimore as part of a Decepticon campaign to force America into getting rid of the Autobots. Piss off Brawl, we want Devastator! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}}
{{-}}

===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' prequel novel===
Brawl was oddly absent from events surrounding the ''[[Ghost 1]]'' discovery. Whether he was aboard the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]'' and otherwise indisposed or joined up with [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] at a later date is unknown. {{storylink|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

===''Transformers'' (2007) film===
[[Image:Decepticons highway.JPG|left|250px|thumb|Bra—um, I mean, Devastator does not care if this is suspicious. He will shoot anyone who objects.]]
Brawl (also named "Devastator" here) was lying in wait at a military depot when Starscream contacted the Decepticon infiltration team, informing them that the All Spark had been found and they were to move out. Devastator acknowledged that he was in transit and [[Roll out|rolled out]] of the depot. He met up with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] and hit the highway, though Devastator separated from the group before Barricade and Bonecrusher got on the freeway and met up with Autobot/human convoy.

Arriving at [[Mission City]] in the aftermath of Starscream's opening attack on the Autobots and their [[William Lennox|human]] [[Robert Epps|allies]], Devastator fired shells from his main gun, narrowly missing several targets before running over vehicles abandoned by human bystanders. As the American soldiers fanned out in search of cover, the Autobots charged Devastator. He focused his attacks on [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who was forced to somersault over his shells. This distraction allowed the Autobot Jazz to jump on top of Devastator and point his cannon away from the humans. Devastator managed to transform and throw the smaller Autobot off him, but not before Jazz destroyed his left side rocket launcher pod.

[[Image:Brawl Mission City.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Devast—um, I mean, Brawl says, "Surrender or perish!"]]
Damaged, but not down, Devastator fired two rockets from his remaining launcher, missing the heavily armed Autobot as he somersaulted over the missiles. Ironhide and Jazz managed to fire several shots at Devastator, disorienting him. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] followed up by using his buzzsaw to slice off Devastator's left arm. The humans then fired a volley of sabot rounds while Ratchet supported with suppressive fire, knocking Devastator to the ground. The only thing that saved him was the Autobots and humans' retreat at the arrival of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. Eventually, Ironhide and Ratchet disengaged from the battle as they left to protect [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]], who was escaping with the All Spark, while Jazz took on Megatron. Now with fewer targets to deal with, Devastator sprayed heavy [[machine gun]] fire at the remaining humans, whose leader remarked that the battle was not going well.

[[Image:Movie Brawl dies.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Ah, I'll just read the bullet with my name on it. THAT should settle the argument!]]
Devastator continued to pin down the soldiers until the damaged Autobot [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] suddenly attacked while on the back of of a tow truck driven by Ladiesman217's [[Mikaela Banes|female companion]]. Devastator tried to return fire, only for his machine gun, his last ranged weapon, to be destroyed by Bumblebee's [[plasma cannon]]. With the Autobot's return to battle being the deciding factor, the human soldiers rallied and fired more sabots, piercing Devastator's armor until a final shot from Bumblebee struck Devastator's spark and killed him. Devastator died as he lived: destroying things, for his chassis crashed into the building the human soldiers had taken refuge in.

Devastator's body was dumped into the deepest part of [[Laurentian Abyss]] along with his fellow Decepticons, in the hopes the intense pressure and cold will destroy whatever remained. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

Before arriving on Earth, Brawl seriously injured Jazz in a battle on a barren world in deep space. {{storylink|Jazz (Movie)#Premium|Premium Jazz bio}}

Not many can make Brawl laugh, but one person who can is Ratchet. Watching him run around a battlefield after Brawl has sent a crowd of foes flying, trying to save as many lives as possible {{m-}} that cracks Brawl right up! {{storylink|#Legends Class toys|Rescue Ratchet Vs Decepticon Brawl}} Following an infusion of AllSpark energy, Brawl found his cannons more powerful than ever. {{storylink|#AllSparkBrawl|AllSpark-enhanced Brawl}}

In the final battle, Brawl was ''not'' killed, but saturated with power from the AllSpark and freed from the influence of Megatron. He disappeared into the rugged land around the Hoover Dam. Making his way over the course of months to the most dangerous place on Earth (presumably the [[Middle East]]), he adapted his vehicle mode to the new environment, went to ground and hid from the Autobot patrols. Brawl now gains up energy from the blazing sun, and emerges only to satisfy his hunger for destruction by attacking and annihilating anything that comes across him. {{storylink|#Fast Action Battlers|Desert Blast Brawl}} {{storylink|#Leader Class toys|Deep Desert Brawl (2007)}}

===Beast Wars Diorama Story===

At some point, Brawl and multiple Autobots and Decepticons traversed dimensions and found themselves on a different [[Earth]], in the distant past. They crossed paths with new Transformer factions, the [[Maximal]]s and the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, who were engaged in a conflict called the [[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]. A battle broke out between the four factions. The Autobots and the Decepticons eventually returned to their home dimension, leaving the Maximals and Predacons behind to settle the Beast Wars. {{storylink|Beast Wars Diorama Story}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' toy bios===
The Autobots never found him, but he seethed with rage at hiding in defeat and having to wait for a new leader to emerge. Now Megatron is back from the dead, Brawl is ready to tear into the Autobots again! {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 2|Deep Desert Brawl (2009)}}

Brawl is one of the most experienced and cunning warriors to ever emerge from Cybertron's great war: a vicious, instinctive fighter, bred for victory. This stands in stark contrast to the tactical mind of Ironhide, the Autobot weapons-master. As they hunt each other through a desolate desert, they both know that only one of them will walk away from their inevitable battle. {{storylink|#Titanium Series 2|Deep Desert Brawl (Titanium)}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
In the aftermath of the battle in Mission City, [[Sector Seven]] hauled away Brawl's corpse along with the other Decepticon bodies. The clandestine human organisation brought the bodies to a secret facility in the Nevada desert, with the intention of getting every bit of information they can out of the dead Decepticons before they were forced to dump them into the sea. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1}} One month after the battle of Mission City, the Autobots helped Sector Seven escort Megatron, Brawl, and Blackout's bodies to [[San Diego]], where the [[United States Navy]] would transport them to the drop site at the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}}

===Transformers (2010) toy bios===
As Brawl advanced with a horde of his fellow Decepticon warriors towards an Autobot force entrenched among ancient ruins in a desert, he presumably had no idea that [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] was eyeballing him for a take-down. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 3|Desert Ruins Brawl}}

The Autobot's victory was short-lived... and so was the Autobot, as Brawl punctured Jazz's chest with his claw, extinguishing his [[spark]] whilst commenting on how he loved the way that Autobots died. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] arrived just in time to witness the killing, and fought through a horde of Decepticon units to destroy Brawl. Man Ironhide is obsessed. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)}}

Brawl, [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] and Starscream were hiding out in a human military installation in the desert when they received word that [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] had discovered the location of the AllSpark. When the three Decepticons mobilized, the two ground-based machines were assaulted by tanks designed to fire holding beams of electrical energy, forcing Starscream to back-and-forth babysit the two Decepticons as they tried to escape.

Brawl later stood by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's]] side in Washington D.C. after they had retrieved the All Spark from the destroyed Autobots and had decimated pretty much everything in their path. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)}}

{{note|Brawl was not a playable character in the console versions of the game.}}

===''Transformers: Autobots''===
As Optimus Prime attempted to rendez-vous with the other Autobots near Hoover Dam, Brawl blocked his only path — a hidden Air Force hangar tunneled into the canyon. He fought Prime with all his might, but the Autobot leader was too much for him. As Sector 7 tanks arrived, he converted to his vehicle mode, managing to con the tanks into his own reinforcements. In his tank mode, Prime could no longer damage him as much and had to resort to smashing the tanks into Brawl to damage him. In the end, Prime put him out of commission. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}

===''Transformers: Decepticons''===
Brawl first appears in Qatar, where, under the command of [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|a Create-A-Bot]], he is commanded to prevent a convoy from entering a nearby village (recognizable by moviegoers as the town where Lennox fought [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]) to prevent the humans from getting an upper hand over the [[N.B.E.|N.B.E.s]]. At the Hoover Dam, he is sent to capture a human tank, which he retrieves intact so as to interrogate the occupant human. Once the interrogation is done, the tank doesn't stay intact long, as he can be seen merrily destroying it while Create-A-Bot converses with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. Later, he faces off against [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] in a 1-on-1 street brawl involving an apparent grudge over a past encounter. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Decepticons}}

He is armed with his spring-loaded main gun on his right arm and a flip-out blade on his left.

: There is a [[design flaw]] in the way Brawl's arms attach to his torso: The rhombic peg and socket system used does not provide a tight enough fit, and thus the arms have a tendency to detach at the shoulder when moved. There have also been quite a few reports of the teeny-tiny automorph gears—molded out of fragile, translucent plastic—cracking and breaking into pieces, leaving the automorph non-functional.

*'''Deluxe three-pack''' (Multi-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Missile

: This Sam's Club [[exclusive]] three-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe Class Decepticon Brawl together with equally unchanged Deluxe Class [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] toys. It also comes with a nifty poster depicting all three toys in a standoff scene. Not so nifty is that the box accidentally places Brawl and Bonecrusher's bios underneath each other.

*'''Deluxe three-pack''' (Multi-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories'': Missile

: This three-pack, which was available at general retail in the United Kingdom, contains an unchanged Deluxe Class Decepticon Brawl together with equally unchanged Deluxe Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Protoform Optimus Prime]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] toys.

*'''Ultimate Bumblebee Bonus Value pack''' (Multi-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Missile

: A Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] special pack of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Ultimate Bumblebee]] with Deluxe Class Decepticon Brawl and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] as bonus figures. None of the three toys are changed from their respective original releases.

*'''All Spark-Enhanced Decepticon Brawl''' (Target Exclusive Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Missile

: This Target exclusive features the Deluxe Class Brawl in unique cylindrical packaging, with the only difference from his standard release being that key robot mode parts are highlighted by the slavish 'All Spark Blue' color for no other reason than [[to sell toys]].

{{-}}

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:MovieLeaderDecepticonBrawl.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''Ops, my head!'']]
*'''Decepticon Brawl''' (Leader Class, 2007)

: The larger, more heavily armed version of Brawl, this figure is more accurate to the character's CGI model, with more articulation and weapons than the Deluxe-class figure.

: While having no firing missiles, it does feature a number of [[Automorph]] gimmicks. First, pressing the button on the front of the tank causes his head and chest pieces to move into position. A scoop/claw has been added to the front of the tank, probably to make the lever to push his head back down stand out less. Second, pressing the headlights on either side of the front end causes the paneling to swing back into place. Finally, Brawl has automorph weapons on each of his forearms - his right arm has a quadruple-barreled cannon that extends as you slide a switch forward, while his left features a swing-out claw, deployed by pulling back the arm's cannon.

: Other features include lights and sounds, activated by pushing back on the main cannon or turning the upper turret. The turret sounds can also be activated by pressing the two small buttons on the top of the turret, on either side of the machine gun. A pair of blades can also swing down from the legs.

: Possibly due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]] or just the desire on the part of the designers to not see fragile parts break, the main cannon and anti-aircraft guns on Brawl's turrets detach from their mounting points rather easily.

{{-}}

[[Image:Movie Leader DeepDesert Brawl toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|... [[Sandstorm (OC)|Sandstorm]]? Is that you?]]
*'''Deep Desert Brawl''' (Leader Class, 2008)

: An extensive [[redeco]] of Leader Class Brawl in desert colors, as part of the ''AllSpark Power'' refresh of the movie toyline. His vehicle mode comes with battle damage carbon scoring as well as Autobot "kill" markings. His clear plastic parts are cast in bright translucent blue, along with the bright blue paint seen on his robot mode, a color accent he has in common with the rest of the ''AllSpark Power'' toys.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB Brawl.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Do not taunt Happy Fun Brawl.]]
*'''Double Missile Decepticon Brawl''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles

: "Double Missile Brawl" is a simplified version of Brawl. Designed for younger children, his transformation is designed with speedy conversion in mind, with relatively few steps compared to the Deluxe class Brawl. Additionally, in an effort to keep the design sturdy for play and safety, he has relatively low articulation for a figure of his size, while the design style of the figure is more rounded and 'friendly'. Two pressure-launched missiles are fired from his two missile pods.

[[Image:Movie2007 DesertBlastBrawl.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Olé!.]]
*'''Desert Blast Brawl''' (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles

: A [[redeco]] of Fast Action Battlers Brawl in desert colors. All of the previous gimmicks are retained.

====Cyber Slammers====
[[Image:Movie CyberSlammers Brawl.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Daddy, what's my name?" "Well, son, your mom and I never decided between Brawl, Devastator, Demolishor..."]]
*'''Decepticon Brawl''' (Cyber Slammer, 2007)

: [[Cyber Slammers]] Brawl is an amazingly cute tank that transforms into an amazingly cute sentient machine of mass destruction. "Slam" his robot mode down into tank mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Brawl manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

{{-}}

===Titanium Series===
[[Image:Movie TitaniumRM Brawl.jpg|right|120px|thumb|Why do I not look this cool?!!]]
*'''Decepticon Brawl''' ( 3-inch Robot Masters, 2007)

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Brawl is a die-cast metal and plastic figurine, with an accurate sculpt based on the CG model (or the concept designs) owing to the fact he doesn't need to transform. Being a figurine, he only has articulation in his shoulders and waist. Brawl comes with a Movie-style Decepticon symbol display stand.

===''Revenge of the Fallen''===
[[Image:ROTF_Deluxe_DeepDesertBrawl_toy.jpg|thumb|300px|My shoulder's fixed. Now buy me.]]
*'''Deep Desert Brawl''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Accessories'': Missile

:Released as part of the many-times-revised wave 7 of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxes, Deep Desert Brawl is a [[retool]] of 2007's Deluxe class Brawl in a desert camouflage colour scheme similar to the 2008 [[Fast Action Battlers]] Desert Blast Brawl. The arm issue from the previous release has been corrected, and the transparent plastic gears of the initial release have been replaced with less fragile opaque plastic.

: The [[stock photography|stock photo]] pictured on the back of his package is clearly a hand-painted toy with a ''lot'' of differences from the final product. The chocolate-brown plastic is nowhere to be seen, and the entire toy is done up in a much more subtle, natural blend of tans and browns.


:During part of 2010, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/transformers-toy-giveaway.cfm Hasbro did a promotion] wherein US fans could receive three free Deluxes in exchange for receipts showing the purchase of $25 or more of select ''Transformers'' product. As noted in [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69645&st=0 this thread over at Allspark.com], and later confirmed by [http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HT83971G3 this listing here], this version of Brawl was one of a pool of eight figures (all from the same wave) from which the free Deluxes were drawn.

*'''Offroad Ironhide & Deep Desert Brawl''' (Titaniums 2-pack, 2009)
**''Accessories'': Decepticon logo base

:A [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] [[redeco]] of the original ''[[Titanium Series]]'' Brawl figure in tan. Like the original, it comes with a Movie-style Decepticon logo base to stand on.

:It was only available in a two-pack with an unchanged version of ''Titanium Series'' [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], despite the package suggesting that Ironhide would also be redecoed.

[[Image:3DBattleCard_Brawl.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Super Smash Brothers Devastator]

**''Card number'': '''17'''

: Brawl is a 41-point "Rare" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from plastic cards, he can be assembled into his tank mode, or a sort of representation of his robot mode. Oddly enough, he does not actually have his movie-model head; rather, he uses a recolored version of [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]'s noggin slapped on the Brawl body.

: He uses the same construction as the [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]], [[Blitzwing (Energon Wars)|Blitzwing]] and [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]] cards.

: His card art was done by [[Lucio Parrillo]].

This little figurine has a little strap on it so that it can be put on cell phones or portable gaming devices.

:This product is one of the few that uses Brawl's on-screen name "Devastator".

**''Series'': '''Battle Series'''
**''Number'': '''02 of 08'''

:[[Robot Powered Machines]] Brawl is a small, heavily modified M1A1 Abrams tank. Both turrets can be rotated, making him one of the few RPMs with any kind of artuculation. He does not transform, but has his robot mode sculpted on the underside of the tank alongside four wheels (as treads wouldn't be very fun to race around on). These wheels use through-axle construction to let his zip along smooth surfaces with very un-tank-like speed. He was only available in a two-pack with [[Jazz (Movie)#RPMs - Robot Powered Machines|Jazz]].

==Notes==
[[Image:Movie Brawl Devastatorsubtitle.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Maybe his combat subroutines are interfering with his memory.]]
* Working names for Brawl were "Demolisher"<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/objects/content/wallpaper.cfm?img=wp_transformers651_1280.jpg&brand_id=496&lang_id=1 Wallpaper at Hasbro's website calling Brawl/Devastator "Demolisher".]</ref> and "Devastator", the latter had also been a working name for [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] at one point.<ref>[http://www.benprocter.com/SITEv2/HTML/ZOOM_Trans/ZOOM_32.html Blackout-as-"Devastator" concept art at Ben Procter's online portfolio.]</ref> Even though [[Michael Bay]] confirmed in May of 2006 that "Devastator" was ''not'' the final name,<ref>[http://michaelbay.com/newsblog/files/586e45dbd5e89a45846b0ec668a70e03-12.html Michael Bay claiming that the Transformers' names circulating were "aliases".]</ref> screenwriters [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] confirmed the final name to be "Brawl" in April 2006,<ref>[http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808716430/video/2701721/20070418/2048/2701721-300-wmv-s.35907855-,2701721-300-flash-s.35907881-,2701721-100-wmv-s.35907849-,2701721-100-flash-s.35907874-,2701721-1000-wmv-s.35907866-,2701721-1000-flash-s.35907894-,2701721-700-flash-s.35907887-,2701721-700-wmv-s.35907861- Yahoo webcast with Kurtzman and Orci, revealing the final names of the movie characters.]</ref> and Hasbro used that name for all their toys based on the movie character, he identifies himself as "Devastator" in a subtitle in the [[Transformers (2007)|movie]] itself (even though the garbled audio used for his voice sounds an awful lot as if he says "''Brawl'', reporting"). According to a fan who attended the Australian press conference, Bay had confirmed that he had decided to use the name "Devastator" because he had preferred it,<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php?p=1360922&postcount=122 Australian fan griffin-of-oz reporting from the Australian press conference].</ref> while Hasbro considered the name in the movie a "continuity error",<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=139268 Hasbro Transformers Future Product Unveiling panel at BotCon 2007.]</ref> and Orci even claimed that he and Kurtzman had pointed out said "error" in the editing room twice.<ref>[http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=368555&postcount=4479 Orci confirming the name "Devastator" to be an "error".]</ref> But whoops, Titan Magazines had just done two strips with him called Devastator! The editor hurriedly stated in [[Transformers Comic issue 3|#3's letters page]] that Devastator was a different guy, honest, and a cover for a later issue made sure to identify Brawl as Brawl; so now there's ''two'' of them (and Brawl nicks Devastator's toys, the dastard)! Finally, IDW's ''Reign of Starscream'' retconned in that he was called Brawl at Mission City all along.
* And then ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' brought in two new guys called [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] and [[Brawl (ROTF)|Brawl]].
* Does your head hurt yet? This is normal.
* Despite rumors to the contrary, he is ''not credited'' in the film under either name.
* The name "Brawl" was previously also a working name for the character ultimately called [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/events/Botcon-2007/Hasbro-Tour/PICT5108.JPG.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1 Early design for Barricade with working name "Brawl" shown during the BotCon 2007 Hasbro Tour.]</ref>
[[Image:XXxtank.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Protoform Brawl.]]
* According to Picture Vehicle Coordinator [[Steve Mann]], the filming prop of Brawl was a redress of a tank prop made for another movie.<ref>[http://enewsi.com/news.php?catid=190&itemid=11213 Picture Vehicle Coordinator Steve Mann confirming Brawl/Devastator to be a redressed tank prop from another movie.]</ref> Specifically, it was the "stealth tank" seen in the film ''xXx: State of the Union''. Notable changes include the addition of missile launchers on the sides of the secondary turret and a mine plow on the front end of the tank.
* Jazz's move of racing-transforming-boarding Brawl is not completely unlike the scene in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' where [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] does the same thing with [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]. The DVD's special features confirm this was the inspiration.
* Brawl is the most heavily armed Transformer in the movie, followed by [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]. Unfortunately for him, he has no chance to unleash his full armament, as many of his weapons are broken before he can use them. For example, Jazz kicks off the four-tube missile launcher on his left shoulder, and Ratchet slices off his left arm at the elbow, blades and all. Don't you just hate wasted potential?

24.70.1.12:

[[Image:Transformerswarforcybertron.jpg|center|500px|]]

'''''Transformers: War for Cybertron''''' is a video game developed by [[High Moon Studios]] and published by [[Activision]] that takes place before the Transformers take their war to [[Earth]]. [[Hasbro]] is aiming for the story to tell the first chapter in the direction they're taking the ''[[Transformers brand| Transformers]]'' franchise in the coming years, and so they've been giving a lot of input and stressing character development. <ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/tfw2005-war-for-cybertron-interview-with-aaron-archer-and-matt-tieger-168910/ War for Cybertron interview with Aaron Archer and Matt Tieger @ TFW2005.com]</ref>There are both a [[Decepticon]] and an [[Autobot]] campaign with linear storytelling; the Decepticon campaign will be placed chronologically before the Autobot campaign. <ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/new[s/index.php?f_keyword=war+for+cybertron Seibertron Q&A with Activision]</ref>

The game itself will be an over-the-shoulder third-person shooter in which the player can choose his character from a small roster of either Autobots or Decepticons. The game will be released on [[July 22]], [[2010]], for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and PC.

==Synopsis==

The game is set during the early days of the [[Great War (G1)| Great War]] on [[Cybertron]]. [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] is searching for a dangerous power source known as [[Dark Energon]] to fuel his conquest of the planet. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] has come to prominence after joining the fight following an attack on [[Iacon]], but he is not yet leader of the Autobots.
[[Image:WarforCybertron-OptimusPrime.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Prime auditions for Unreal Tournament. There were no survivors.]]

*[[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]]

Promotional graphics also show designs for [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], who may also be playable, and the trailer showed a quick glimpse of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. The Decepticon campaign includes a boss battle with [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] and the Autobot campaign includes defending [[Iacon]]. Players should expect references to Cybertron locations taken from all previous Transformer stories, "things which may have only been referenced once, in one comic way back when, could be used and expanded upon." <ref>TFW2005 interview again</ref>

==Features==
* Campaigns will be co-op both online and off for the first time in a Transformers game.
* All playable characters have at least one special ability, such as absorbing health from enemies or marking targets.
