:''Bruticus is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[image:Bruticusg1guido.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Big, bad, battlin' dudicus.]]

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

He's also dumb as a sack of hammers. But as far Decepticon combiners go, [[Devastator|that's]] [[Menasor (G1)|not]] [[Abominus|a]] [[Predaking|problem]]. In fact, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] wishes that he had an army of Bruticuses, and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] is thankful that he doesn't.

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

The Combaticons formed Bruticus in a northern [[California]] railyard to battle the [[Protectobot]]s, who subsequently formed [[Defensor]]. The two soon battled to a standstill, as Bruticus' sonic stun gun proved no match for Defensor's force field, but the Decepticon eventually managed to topple his foe by smacking him around with an ''entire train''. Bruticus then noticed [[Blaster]], who claimed to have left the [[Autobot]]s, and seemingly killed [[Sammy|a child]] to prove it. Bruticus was so impressed that he didn't notice Blaster toppling a power line on him, blasting him into his component parts. {{storylink|Child's Play (comic issue)|Child's Play}}

Bruticus became active for the first time during a battle between [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream's]] rogue Decepticon brigade and Megatron's forces. Anticipating [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron's]] expected moves, he waited for his former leader to order the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s to merge into [[Devastator]]. Starscream then unleashed his surprise - he similarly ordered the Combaticons to form the mighty Bruticus. Though extremely low in intelligence, even by the standards of combined robots, he was also extremely powerful, easily defeating Devastator and sending the remaining Decepticons loyal to Megatron into retreat. Unfortunately, the [[Stunticon]]s arrived and formed [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], who launched an attack from behind, quickly subduing Bruticus. {{Storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

[[Image:Revenge_of_bruticus_2_threratenShockwave.jpg|left|thumb|135px|"Bruticus want be drawn proper!"]]

Starscream and the Combaticons were banished from [[Earth]] on an asteroid, and the group quickly had a falling-out. After Starscream left, the Combaticons attacked [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], easily defeating [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and his drones. Thirsting for revenge, the Combaticons reprogrammed the [[Space Bridge]] to pull Earth closer to the Sun, in the hopes of destroying it and every Transformer there. The Autobots and Decepticons tempoarily joined forces to retake Cybertron and prevent Earth's destruction, and with Starscream's help, they deactivated the Combaticons once they formed Bruticus through a failsafe device built into the treacherous giant's back. Optimus Prime and Megatron agreed that Bruticus must be destroyed, but the Decepticon leader fooled the Autobots by using Shockwave's holographic simulator to make it appear as though Bruticus was destroyed, when in reality the combiner was reprogrammed to be loyal only to Megatron. {{Storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}

[[Image:Revenge_of_bruticus_16_brains.jpg|right|thumb|135px|"See! Bruticus head not empty!"]]

Soon afterwards, during Megatron's latest scheme on Earth involving the theft of fighter aircraft using Middle-Eastern criminals, the Combaticons were called into service to defend Megatron's [[Giant Purple Griffin]], a large... thing that apparently pumped oil. Or something. Struggling against the [[Aerialbot]]s, the Combaticons formed Bruticus, yet were still knocked over when the Autobot planes twisted a tow cable around his legs. The Decepticon combiner was finally defeated when the Aerialbots ignited the nearby oil wells, causing a massive explosion that sent Megatron, [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and Bruticus flying away. {{Storylink|Aerial Assault}}

[[Image:Bruticus_punch_planebot.jpg|left|thumb|155px|"Bruticus punch [[Skydive_(G1)|planebot]] so hard, make artist draw all over cel!"]]

Later, Bruticus was walking down the street, minding his own business (i.e. attacking a human city) when BAM! Bruticus was destroyed in battle with [[Defensor]] (man, this guy can't seem to catch a break). Only Swindle survived, and he sold the remains of his comrades to various mercenaries and [[El Presidente|third-world dictator-types]], only to be forced to locate and rebuild the Combaticons by Megatron. The reformed Bruticus was then defeated when Megatron's disruptor cannon was overloaded by the human-built [[B.O.T. (robot)|B.O.T.]], once again sending the Decepticon flying into the sky. {{Storylink|B.O.T.}}

Although conspicuously absent during the [[Battle of Autobot City]]{{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie|TFTM}}, the Combaticons and their combined form were among [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s most commonly used troops in 2006 and onward.

It's interesting to note that Bruticus wasn't nearly as dumb in the animated series as his toy's bio said he was, which stated that he would likely do nothing if nobody gave him orders. In the animated series Bruticus was perfectly capable of acting on his own.

====Scramble City OVA====

[[Image:SCcelMenSupBrut.jpg|right|thumb|187px|Et tu, Bruticus?]]

In 1986, the Autobots and their human allies worked dilligently on their "Scramble City" project, a giant mobile fortress. Several Decepticons under the command of Starscream were dispatched to attack the secret construction site, but were defeated by the Aerialbots. Due to Starcream's failure to stop the Aerialbots, the Stunticons were quickly sent in, and soon in the battle formed Menasor. Menasor managed to corrupt Superion's formation by shooting one of ''his own'' limbs onto his opponent, rendering Superion vulnerable. However, he was soon stopped, and Superion regained his balance. Eventually, the Combaticons came in to help Menasor (though not willingly), forming Bruticus. The two tag-teamed against Superion, but were both stopped when [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City itself]] was brought into battle to end the conflict. {{Storylink|Scramble City}}

Bruticus was selected by [[Violen Jygar]] as one of his 9 Decepticon Demon-Generals, given the rank of Flame General and rebuilt with more powerful armor and weaponry. However, he did jack squat with it; while he joined [[Abominus]], [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] on a raid for [[Energon Z]] on planet [[Zone (planet)|Zone]], he did not engage in battle at any time, though he was seen leaving with his comrades when the battle was over. {{storylink|Enter the new Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
[[Image:G1_Bruticus_Sunstorm_damage.jpg|right|thumb|180px|"Bruticus suntan lotion no work!"]]

Mighty Bruticus created from members of [[Combaticon]]s. But then [[Optimus Prime (G1)|truckbot]] and [[Megatron (G1)|bossbot]] go away, thought killed, though not by Bruticus. Robots make [[Crisis Intervention Accords|deal]] which make Combaticons not work together. Bruticus not like deal, but components agree, forcing Bruticus to go to sleep...

[[Starscream (G1)|Starbot]] later take components to [[Earth|fleshie world]]. Components attack [[Ark (G1)|Autobot base]], and form Bruticus, but Autobots blow up base. Starbot yell at Bruticus, but not Bruticus fault. Soon, Bruticus components damaged in battle by [[Sunstorm (G1)|Burning bot]], Starbot order components to form mighty Bruticus! Bruticus try to smash Burning bot, but Burning bot too fast. ARGH! Burning bot burn Bruticus' face! Bruticus go to sleep...

[[Image:DWBruticus.jpg|left|thumb|200px|"Give purse to BRUTICUS!"]]

Components training by fighting [[Sky Lynx (G1)|egobot]] when [[Predaking|strangebot]] interrupt. Components recongize danger, and form Mighty Bruticus! Strangebot attack Bruticus! Bruticus ANGRY! Bruticus try to stop strangebot guns, but strangebot use foot-gun to hurt Bruticus!

[[Starscream (G1)|Coward Starbot]] fly away like [[Starscream (G1)|coward]]. Strangebot, open wings like birdbot and chase, but Bruticus stop birdbot. Bruticus want birdbot to DIE! No! Stupid gun, broken! Birdbot hurt Bruticus again, and Bruticus go to sleep...

Bruticus want to appear again, but [[Dreamwave|company]] close down because [[Pat Lee|fleshie]] bad with money. Bruticus hate fleshie! Bruticus not want to go to sleep forever!

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:Bruticus_toy.jpg|right|thumb|130px|"Rargh... many transform Bruticus wrong... and blame Bruticus design..."]]

*'''Bruticus''' (Multi-pack, 1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-69'''

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

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

: This mold was redecoed and later retooled to make ''[[Operation Combination]]'' [[Battle Gaia]], and ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]''/''[[Universe]]'' [[Ruination]].

{{-}}
===Generation 2===
*'''Bruticus''' (1994)

[[Image:G2bruticus.jpg|left|thumb|130px|"Bruticus feel...pretty?"]]

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

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

{{-}}
==Trivia==
* Much like the individual Combaticons who form him, Bruticus's animation model has a design difference from the toy. In his case, the chest plate is drawn to look like it is formed from [[Blast Off]]...who is already forming Bruticus's arm.
* Several attributes of [[Action Master Elite]] [[Turbo Master]], including his face and chest plate, suggest that he was originally intended to be Bruticus.
* Even though Bruticus sort of saw an [[Action Master]] release in the form of [[Turbo Master]], according to [[Transformers Generations]] at one point a non-transforming version of Action Master Bruticus was planned, which would have looked significantly different from [[Turbo Master]].
* Bruticus is the "Scramble City" robot with the largest number of redecoes, even without counting the differences between the ''Car Robots'' and ''Robots in Disguise'' versions of Valdigus/Ruination.

Wreckage (Movie)

{{disambig3|Wreckage}}

:''Wreckage is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|live-action movie]] [[continuity family]].''

{{bigthumb|Wreckage movie.jpg|200px|Wreckage appeared in several online games. Not the most impressive resume, but it's a living.}}

Cold, distant, quiet. '''Wreckage''' is the counterpart to the hot-wired [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]. Deliberate and methodical in his attacks, he enjoys watching his foe squirm in agony as his twin swords cut deep below their armor. Circuits popping and vital processors sizzling to uselessness are the music he longs to make, and none of the Decepticons can argue with his taste for making Autobots suffer.

==Fiction==
===Transformers Movie Prequel (Target)===

[[Image:Movie_Wreckage_Traitor.jpg|thumb|left|125px|Stop eviscerating yourself, stop eviscerating yourself!]]

Wreckage was one of several Decepticons under the command of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] during the battle of [[Tyger Pax]]. He was finishing off an [[Autobot]] with his sword when [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] arrived with news that [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] knew where the [[All Spark]] was located. After witnessing the sucessful Autobot launch of the All Spark and Megatron's subsequent pursuit of it, Wreckage left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] with Starscream's group in search of their leader.

[[Image:Movie_Wreckage_EMPblast.jpg|thumb|right|Wreckage's name is unfortunately appropriate.]]

Arriving on [[Earth]] many years later in Afghanistan, Wreckage scanned and destroyed a human military carrier vehicle sent to investigate their planetfall. He was able to trace the location of the Bargam US airbase and jam their communications to prevent them from calling for help. Under Starscream's orders, Wreckage led the group to attack, initially confusing the soldiers with his vehicle mode. Whilst observing [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] slaughter human soldiers the latter had tricked, Wreckage was hit with a localized electromagnetic pulse and disabled. Barricade was ordered by Starscream to leave their comrade behind, because he would either recover eventually, or if not, then it didn't matter. {{Storylink|Transformers Movie Prequel (Target) Volume 2}}

Wreckage's fate remains unknown.

==="Flight of the Bumblebee" online game===
Wreckage was one of a group of Decepticons who trapped Bumblebee in a canyon. He stood around on a rocky butte, walking back and forth and waiting for Bumblebee to drive up to him. When the impudent Autobot dropped in (nearly landing on poor Wreckage's head), Wreckage immediately opened fire, blasting Bumblebee over and over and over and over and over. Unfortunately, Bumblebee had the idea to shoot back, blasting Wreckage right out of the picture with just one shot. {{storylink|Flight of the Bumblebee}}

== Toys ==
*'''Wreckage''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MD-10'''
**''Accessories'': 2 spring-loaded blades

[[Image:Wreckage_movietoy.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Alas, poor Wreckage. They hardly drew ye.]]

: Wreckage transforms into an [[wikipedia:Stryker|M1126 Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle]] in urban or arctic camo, armed with a M2 .50 cal machine gun and two other machine guns mounted extending out of the troop compartment. Unusually for a transformer with a military vehicle alternate mode, Wreckage does not feature ''significant'' embellishments to his design, even though he is not a licensed toy. However, his white plastic obscures much of his sculpted detailing.

:His [[Automorph]]ing feature is activated during transformation by swinging his machine gun down, pushing it against a translucent red panel, which simultaneously raises his shoulders, lowers his torso, raises his head and extends his stomach-mounted cannon all in one movement.

:Wreckage's robot mode is more traditionally Transformers-styled compared to most of the other Movie line toys. As with most mainline Movie toys, he features an excellent range of articulation. The smaller machine gun weapons feature flip-out energy blades that can be held in his hands, mounted under his forearms or on any of the wheels. They can also connect together to form an undocumented but certainly intended double-bladed weapon; mounting this on his forearm wheels gives him an awesome spinning blade weapon.

: There is a minor issue on Wreckage where moving his arms down or towards his back at the shoulder will activate his Automorphing feature and begin to fold the torso back into its vehicle mode position. The best way to avoid this is to hold the grey gun plugging into his back in position while moving his arms.

===Merchandise===
*'''Wreckage''' (3D Battle Card, 2007)

: A 35-point "Uncommon" card, Wreckage is assembled form punch-out parts of two cards, which can be fit together to make either a robot or a tank. Since he uses the same parts layout as [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]], his central cannon is considerably oversized when compared to his toy.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Movie_Wreckage_Stykerconcept1.jpg|thumb|right|150px| Tall, dark, and bloodthirsty.]]

*As revealed at [[BotCon 2007]]'s [[Hasbro]] tour, Wreckage is the toy company's elaboration of a design for a Transformer abandoned early in the Movie's development. It had no name and was thus labeled 'Stryker', the name of its vehicle mode.
*It was also revealed in at [[BotCon 2008]]'s Designer panel that the reason Wreckage's head doesn't match "Stryker"'s concept art was because [[Takara]] couldn't make out the detail from the design sketches that were sent to them. [[Aaron Archer]] drew a new head in five minutes, before catching a plane to Tokyo.

* This "Stryker" concept art was later used as a Decepticon piece in the ''[[Transformers Risk]]'' game.
