'''Jolt''' has a tendency towards mischief making. Like any prankster, he's pretty impulsive, and if trouble rears its head, you can bet Jolt is going to try to be in the middle of it. (Though he more often ends behind it, mostly out of focus, as luck would turn out.) Luckily, he's got the fighting ability to make sure his head stays on his shoulders, utilizing electric whips in battle.

He loves to act crazy in battle: it disorients and confuses the Decepticons, drawing them in close so he can whip 'em!

When the Autobots mobilized in response to a sudden surge in [[Decepticon]] activity, Jolt rolled into action at the head of the pack, but he was not among the Autobot team who fended off [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] after the two Decepticons killed [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in a forest brawl. Jolt reunited with the other Autobots before they headed back to the [[NEST]] base on [[Diego Garcia]], but the team was scarcely given any time to mourn Prime's passing; as soon as they returned, they were accosted by military forces under the command of [[Theodore Galloway]]. The emotionally brittle Autobots did not take this show of force well, and charged their weapons; Jolt began emitting bright sparks of electricity in anticipation of a fight, but things soon calmed down as Galloway announced that NEST was being disbanded by [[President of the United States|presidential]] order.

[[Image:Jolt-ROTFcombiningPrimeandJetfire.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"By your powers combined, I am...well, I'm nobody, actually."]]

Jolt later accompanied the Autobots and their human allies to [[Egypt]], for a climactic [[Operation: Firestorm|battle]] against [[The Fallen]]'s [[Decepticon]]s. He is seen shooting at Decepticons behind Sideswipe. During the course of the battle, [[Sam Witwicky]] used the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to bring Optimus Prime back to life, at which point the aged [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] volunteered to sacrifice himself, so that Optimus could use his parts to give himself a power boost. Following Ratchet's directions, Jolt used his electric whips to link Prime up with Jetfire's remains, generating an electromagnetic field that levitated and bonded the necessary parts to Prime's body, giving him a powerful new flight-capable form which he then used to destroy The Fallen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

===Titan Magazines ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics===

[[Image:Titan2-9 Jolt bringiton.jpg‎|left|thumb|300px|"I will execute hostages ''every hour'' until I have guarantees of more screentime. Don't test me!"]]

Some time after the defeat of the Fallen, while the Autobots were still in the process of rounding up the Decepticons scattered across Earth, Jolt was part of a unit sent to Beverley Hills, Los Angles, to apprehend [[Reverb (ROTF)|Reverb]]. The Autobots attempted to subtly divert Reverb away from human traffic to minimize collateral damage, but the rambunctious Jolt jumped the gun and began pursuing the motorcycle Decepticon through the City of Angels. Tearing across pavements and parks with no regard for the humans in his way, Jolt attempted to stop Reverb with his electro-whips, but instead wound up striking a power pole and blowing every electrical system in the immediate vicinity. Thankfully, Reverb was captured by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], but Jolt's carelessness landed the Autobots in a lot of trouble with [[Theodore Galloway]]. Optimus Prime stressed the importance of treading carefully to Jolt, who promised to be "the soul of discretion".

Unfortunately, two days later, discretion was nowhere to be seen when Jolt went hog-wild in the middle of [[Las Vegas]], battling the martial artist Decepticon [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]]. With one of his electro-whips severed by the Bludgeon's sword, Jolt was sent crashing through a casino wall, but what stung more were the Decepticons' taunts that everything would have been fine if he had not been so overzealous and allowed him to leave the city before attacking. Bludgeon then turned his attention to the casino's patrons, but a repentant Jolt threw himself in the path of the blast meant for them. As Bludgeon loomed over him, preparing to strike with his sword, Jolt seized the blade and used his powers to channel the entire output of Las Vegas's electric grid straight into the skeletal samurai. Although Bludgeon was defeated by the monumental shock, the city was left blacked out by Jolt's stunt, and Optimus Prime was reluctantly forced to confine him to base. Jolt accepted his punishment, but as he walked back into headquarters, he overheard a transmission came through from a NEST squad in the field, announcing they were under Decepticon attack... and Jolt gritted his teeth for action... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}}

[[Image:Titan2-11 joltisarmless.jpg‎|right|thumb|180px|]]

He later underwent further training alongside [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] and [[Rollbar (ROTF)|Rollbar]], and undertook a survival exercise in [[Death Valley]], [[California]]. He noted to Dune Runner that Bumblebee had found a pretty horrible place to train. He followed Rollbar's lead to a deserted ghost town and happily used his powers to track down the recharge pack the Autobots had hidden there. However, he also found...[[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]]! His left arm was torn off, and though he ordered Rollbar to focus on Dead End and not him, the monster Decepticon still tore through the other cadets. Realising they were running on empty, a desperate Jolt used every bit of power in the recharge pack to charge up an electro-whip and knock Dead End out before he could kill the others.

At Rollbar's urging, the cadets took the Decepticon back to [[Diego Garcia]] for medical treatment. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] told Jolt and the others that this act of mercy showed they had what it takes to be real Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.11|Spare Parts!}}

[[Image:Titan2-12 joltwait.jpg‎|left|thumb|220px|Check out this acting! With all this practice, I'm ''bound'' to get a role in Dark of the Moon! ...right?]]

Following this, they spent some time under [[Springer (ROTF)|Springer]], a famed veteran of whom they were in awe. He taught them ''always'' to do the unexpected. Jolt, to the shock of the other cadets, spoke up during training to say they'd done ''enough'' exercises and they'd like to have a go at real combat. Springer agreed, and Jolt blew off the other cadet's claims of Springer having a rep as a monster by noticing that he was just a true soldier. A few days later, in [[Texas]], they got that combat op: Springer distracted [[Tankor (ROTF)|Tankor]] while the cadets snuck round to free hostages. However, Jolt spotted [[Dirge (ROTF)|Dirge]] coming in to get the drop on the commander and decided to leave his mission to get involved in the fight. Using his electro-whips, he redirected Tankor's fire into Dirge and saved the day! Springer was pissed that Jolt had disobeyed orders, but Jolt flippantly said that hey, he'd just been doing the unexpected, like he'd been taught. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

Jolt and his crew would be called in to [[CFB Comox|NEST Ops Vancouver]] to search for the missing [[Stratosphere]]; they knew he may have died, but Jolt said they had to look anyway. It turned out he was doing fine on his own and had just saved the day before they arrived, with was a bit embarrassing for Jolt {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Jolt was part of an Autobot team sent to a ruined petrochemical plant in [[Florida]] to investigate the appearance of several unknown [[spark]] traces. However, before they could reach their goal, they were attacked by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]. The ensuing battle didn't take long, as the Decepticon soon retreated, but it was enough of a distraction for Jolt and the others for the owners of the spark traces to get away. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1}}

Later, back at the [[NEST]] base, Jolt was cited by [[Theodore Galloway]] as an example of [[William Lennox|Lennox]] not following protocols and alerting him to new recruits. It seemed Galloway, like most everyone else, never noticed Jolt had been around since before the rise of the Fallen. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 2}}

Jolt and his fellow cadets, [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]] and [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]], joined Bumblebee on a mission to transport the captured Soundwave to a secure location. They were shot down en route by Soundwave's minions. Jolt was thrown for a loop by [[Beastbox (ROTF)|Beastbox]], and Bumblebee made the command decision to free Soundwave and let the Decepticons escape rather than risk further casualties after the recent death of [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]]. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 3}}

Jolt was later part of the attack force sieging [[Carter Newell]]'s mobile base at Crater Lake. His team was assaulted by a group of Cybertronians Newell had assumed control over using an artificial [[Allspark]]. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5}} During the fight, Jolt's team was joined by [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to rescue Bumblebee from the automatons. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6}}

Later, Jolt learned that Bumblebee was defending [[Sam Witwicky]] from a Decepticon attack all alone, and was eager to get out there to help him. To his disappointment, Optimus Prime instead ordered him, Knock Out and Dune Runner to remain on [[Diego Garcia]] and keep an eye on the captive [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] along with a number of confused Autobot refugees liberated from Carter Newell's control. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2}} Jolt took to guarding Fearswoop, but while he was making himself busy telling the prisoner off and reading comic books, the corpse of Knock Out suddenly crashed through a wall, courtesy of [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]. He prepared to take the intruder on with his electric whips, but Shockwave was unimpressed and shot him down. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3}} Jolt desperately tried to contact Optimus Prime for help, but his message failed to get through and he was killed by Shockwave. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' toy bios===
When Jolt goes too long without expending his built-up electricity, he gains the ability to charge his body with static, shooting lightning everywhere. {{storylink|#Fast Action Battlers|Spark Blast Jolt}}

===Transformers (2010) toy bios===
Jolt had trained more as a healer than as a warrior, and when he found himself entrenched against a horde of advancing Decepticons in a desert battle, he decided that, with caution and luck, he might be able to take down [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]. {{storylink|#Legends Class toys 2|Desert Ruins Brawl}}

Later on, Jolt faced off [[Decepticon]] courier [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]]. He had no idea how he ended up having to deal with such a powerful hulk of a beast, but as long as he was there, he couldn't just back down. Heck, considering [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s by his side this time, the fight's almost even. His plan of confusion and distraction should mess with the reckless Payload's headlong charges long enough for him to tame the bullheaded Decepticon with his stunning electro-whips, after which he and Ratchet could go in and take him down. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 2|Electrostatic Jolt}}

Shortly after his death, a grave was made for him. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1}}

====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:ROTFtoy-JoltLegends.jpg|right|thumb|300px|A toy proportionate to my screentime!]]
*'''Jolt''' (Legends, 2009)

:Part of the sixth wave of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Legends Class]] figures, Jolt transforms into a blue [[Wikipedia:Chevrolet Volt|Chevrolet Volt]]. Tiny whips are molded onto his arms, making him one of the few Legends toys to feature weaponry.
{{-}}

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF_Deluxe_Jolt_toy.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]] would approve of this alt-mode.]]
*'''Jolt''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-19'''

:Deluxe class Jolt transforms into a blue Chevrolet Volt with translucent blue plastic windows. His alt-mode is very conspicuously split where his arms and legs separate during transformation. In robot mode, he has light blue "electro whips" in each arm which are deployed by turning a small knob on his wrist. His head features blue [[Light-piping|light-piping]] for his eyes, but there is a gray protrusion behind his head which completely prevents light passage. This protrusion also prevents his ball-jointed head from turning other than in the slightest of angles. Turning his waist activates his [[Mech Alive]] feature, which consists of moving gears inside his translucent upper chest (it is really hard to see). Jolt also has swiveling knees, but sadly, the kibble blocks it off just like the head.

:Sadly, out of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys released as of late summer 2009, Jolt has lost the most paint applications of anyone, losing nearly all blue paint detailing on his chest and all red detailing present in the promotional photos. This leaves his robot mode looking rather plain.

:The picture to the right shows Jolt's feet mistransformed—at least according to the instructions, which show that the two halves of his alt mode's back bumper forming his toes should be turned inward 90 degrees. Which depiction is the actual mistransformation is debatable, as the "official" transformation makes the left toe piece stand a couple millimeters higher than the right one due to the presence of a joining peg. The large pieces of kibble on his back should also be rotated and fitted into his shoulders.

:In a twist of ''awesome'' irony, he is a Movie Autobot who has the classic Autobot [[faction symbol]] on his chest.

: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], Jolt was one of a pool of eight figures (all from the same wave) from which the free Deluxes were drawn, with several people having noted receiving him.

====Fast Action Battlers====

*'''Electro Whip Jolt''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)

:Electro Whip Jolt transforms into a slightly squashed [[Wikipedia:Chevrolet Volt|Chevrolet Volt]] with an unfortunate transformation parts separation line going right across his windshield. Jolt's robot mode transformation is reminiscent of Transformers car toys from previous generations, where the sides of the car are his arms and the rear his feet. Jolt's arms each contain a spring loaded "electro whip" that shoots out of them when a blue tab is depressed. Moving either of his arms up, then releasing it will cause it to swing back down, simulating a whipping motion.

{{-}}

*'''Spark Blast Jolt''' (Fast Action Battler, 2010)
[[Image:ROTFtoy-JoltSparkBlast.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Now with more toys than appearances in the film!]]
: Spark Blast Jolt is a [[redeco]] of Electro Whip Jolt in mostly white with blue electricity deco on his doors. This is supposed to represent Jolt when he is in battle for a long time and charges with electricity. The [[bio]] also says he is all about electricity. Weird.

:This toy did not see mass retail release in the United States, but is confirmed to have come out in Europe (or at least Germany).

*'''Desert Ruins Brawl''' (Walmart exclusive multi-pack, 2010)

:This [[Walmart]] exclusive multi-pack includes a redeco of Legends class Jolt in light gray and blue with bright green detailing, with some bright green flame decals on the sides and hood of the vehicle. He comes with a redeco of Deluxe class [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] in yellow, brown and gray. Taken together, they may be the least appealingly-colored set of toys in years.

*'''Electrostatic Jolt''' (Deluxe, 2010)

*'''Jolt''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA14'''
**''Accessories:'' [[MechTech]] Blaster/Hand Cannon
:A new mold, this version of Jolt transforms into a black and grayish-blue Chevy Volt, with Allspark blue-colored decals, as well as the black on the roof and hood being textured to resemble carbon-fiber panels. His robot mode is now much more accurate, with his chest and feet deformed and collapsed, more slender limbs, claw "hands" with three digits each, and his back kibble forming his distinctive "wings". Despite all of this, his head is ''still'' based off of his more common, shrimpy design instead of his CG design.

:Replacing his electro-whips, he comes with a MechTech blaster that turns into a hand cannon when the scope is pulled. This weapon can either be plugged on two "concealed" holes on his roof in vehicle mode, or on his wrists and underneath his forearms in robot mode. It can also be pegged on the hole on his back in robot mode. As with all other MechTech Deluxe weapons, the converted weapon cannot lock into place.

:Additionally, flipping out a tab in each of his arms reveals some small [[C joint]]-compatible bars.

:Interestingly, the stock photography on his packaging depicts his black parts as smooth and untextured, instead of the carbon-fiber texture on the final toy.

*Jolt was a last-minute addition to the film during the four-month rush to get a script done after the Writers Guild strike. The writers had to convince Bay that Jolt would feel like a true member of the main Autobot roster. <ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/180451-welcome-mr-roberto-orci-you-may-ask-him-questions-190.html#post3231606 Roberto Orci discusses Jolt's inclusion in the film]. </ref> Ultimately, this wasn't what you could call a success: Jolt only appeared in robot mode in three scenes of the movie, and the character has no lines whatsoever. He even abruptly disappears from the Autobot vehicle mode group shot where he appears for the first time. Jolt ''does'' get a name shout-out, which is something, at least, but that doesn't change the fact that he was so disposable to the plot that he didn't appear in any of the tie-in comics, books or video games until ''seven months'' after the film had come out.

*Furthermore, none of Jolt's toy and comic book appearances were accurate to his CG model. Closer inspection of his head reveals the final design was far less shrimpy than the concept art Hasbro used.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/287152-jolt-cgi-2.html#post5212602 TFW2005 post of shots from the film, the special features and a fan retool of the Deluxe toy.]</ref>

*During production of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', [[TakaraTomy]] were informed that Jolt had been dropped from the movie, so product development on him was halted. However, when they saw a photo of Jolt on the set of ''Revenge'', they realised that contrary to what they had been told, he ''was'' still in the movie, and hurriedly went back to work on his toys!<ref>TakaraTomy designer interview in ''Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 3'' [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/281700-takaratomy-staff-interview-rotf-human-alliance-gravity-bots-more.html Translated interview on ''Revenge of the Fallen'' work from ''Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 3'' on TFW2005.com]</ref>

*Concept art and an image of Jolt's [[Industrial Light & Magic]] CG model (seen from an awkward angle on a computer screen) were depicted on the [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)/home video|''Revenge of the Fallen'' 2-Disc DVD and Blu-Ray]] special features.

*Although Jolt never speaks in the movie, Variety had reported, and it was believed for awhile, that [[Anthony Anderson]] was to voice the late-joining Autobot.<ref>http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117940483.html?categoryid=31&cs=1</ref>

*One of the Volt vehicles used as Jolt in the movie is on display at the [[wikipedia:Test_Track|Test Track]] attraction at [[wikipedia:Epcot|Epcot]].

*Some scenes of Jolt in vehicle mode in Jordan were shot, but never appeared. Come on!

*On August 2nd, 2010, Nelson Lauren, the webmaster of Michael Bay's official website, declared on the message boards of [http://www.tfw2005.com TFW2005] that there will be "no Jolt" for ''[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]''.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/316853-big-red-autobot-fire-truck-tf3-30.html#post5064356 Nelson's post on TFW2005.com]</ref> Hence, in IDW's ''Dark of the Moon'' prequel, Jolt goes bye-bye. Although ''Dark of the Moon'' toys were made of him, but this [[Blackout (Movie)|is]] [[Jazz (Movie)|normal]] for the movie toylines.

{{factions|decepticonfilm}}
{{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.

{{quote|See, me, I go by one guiding principle—keep it ''stupid''... simple!|Brawl's outlook on life|''[[Transformers Comic issue 4|Transformers]]''}}

===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 Force]], under the command of Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], and was among those who rooted out and eliminated "malcontents" who protested against the dual rule of the Defense Force and [[Science Division]]. During one such mission in [[Tyger Pax]], the malcontents surrendered, but their pleas were ignored as Brawl ripped one them in half with his bare hands. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} 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 (Movie)|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 (Movie)|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 <i>where??</i>]]

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}}

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}}

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'' 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.]]
Devastator 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}}

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}}

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)}}

===''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|300px|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 but a different version of him fixes the problem by replacing the red transparent plastic gears with solid red plastic gears.
{{-}}

*'''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)

*'''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 in "Allspark Blue" 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|300px|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|300px|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|150px|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.

*'''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.

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).

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 ''[[Wikipedia:xXx: State of the Union|xXx: State of the Union]]''. The tank prop from ''xXx'' was allegedly based on a used truck chassis that was shortened and equipped with a Freightliner diesel truck engine, "stealth" panels to give the tank its unique look, treads from another piece of heavy equipment and a double turret that could counter-rotate. Since this information comes from an IMDB trivia note, take it with a grain of salt.<ref name="imdb">[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0329774/trivia?tr0775998 IMDB trivia note on the construction of the "stealth tank" from ''xXx: State of the Union''.]</ref> Notable changes for ''Transformers'' 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?
