:''Onslaught is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)| War for Cybertron]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

The [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticon]]s are a fairly unruly mob, and it takes a strict leader to keep them in check. Thankfully, '''Onslaught''' fills that roll nicely. Precision, strategy, and cunning are his watchwords, and they'll be necessary to reign in his troops. Submitting himself to [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]'s [[combiner]] experiments, he became the core of the dangerously unstable gestalt form known as [[Bruticus (Prime)|Bruticus]].

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

Like the other unlockable characters, he can replace any of the other Decepticons in the campaign mode.}}

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

Onslaught now forms the torso and head of Bruticus along with the other Combaticons.

==Toys==
===Generations===
[[Image:Generationstoy-Onslaught.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Decepticon Bruticus''' (multi-pack, 2012)
: This [[San Diego Comic-Con 2012]] [[exclusive]] pack contains all five Combaticons. Although the general vibe of the set is game-accurate colors, Onslaught is actually substantially ''less'' accurate as an individual, sacrificing his own colors to better serve as Bruticus' head and torso.

: This toy was "redecoed" into its own mass-release deco, below, as well as into a ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]''-styled [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]]. It was later [[retool]]ed into [[Impactor (Prime)|Impactor]].

[[Image:Generationstoy-RetailOnslaught.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Onslaught''' (Deluxe, 2012)
: Onslaught transforms from a blue and green Cybertronic truck to a robot. He combines with his fellow Combaticons to form the torso of [[Bruticus (Prime)|Bruticus]]. His vehicle's roof-mounted cannon can be held in robot mode, plug into the back of Bruticus, or combine with the weapons of the other Combaticons to form a giant Sonic Cannon.

==Notes==

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

68.227.34.9: /* Missing characters */

I think we should put some sources for the character roster. I could get started on it, if that's necessary. I hadn't heard about Metroplex being in it, only from rumors that Matt Tieger said it somewhere. --[[User:Kaymac192|Kaymac192]] 17:07, 26 October 2011 (EDT)
::It's in this month's Game Informer.[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.196|192.249.47.196]] 17:17, 26 October 2011 (EDT)
:::Ah. Well, I'll try to get started on the sourcing, and any help would be appreciated. :D --[[User:Kaymac192|Kaymac192]] 17:30, 26 October 2011 (EDT)

== Blast-Off ==

About 1:10 in to the trailer to the top right corner of Megatron there in a Decepticon that looks like a space shuttle does that confirmed
blast-off--[[User:Wwelord|Wwelord]] 16:20, 17 December 2011 (EST)
:: There are so many Blast Offs across the fiction (including a goshdarn tank!) that we have no way of knowing who or what it really is. (Astrotrain, Sky Lynx, etc). [[User:Tom Servo the Great|Tom Servo the Great]] 16:23, 17 December 2011 (EST)
You dont have to be rude I was just asking a question and by the way why would it be Sky Lynx.--[[User:Wwelord|Wwelord]] 16:32, 17 December 2011 (EST)
:: How was I rude? And it's just as possible that it ''could'' be Sky Lynx. [[User:Tom Servo the Great|Tom Servo the Great]] 16:40, 17 December 2011 (EST)
Name one Autobot in WFC/FOC with purple lightings Sky Lynx is an AUTOBOT with RED lightings and that shuttle was shown at lest 5 sec bruticus was formed and that shuttles design can be seen on his left arm--[[User:Wwelord|Wwelord]] 16:48, 17 December 2011 (EST)
:: OK, OK. I was just trying to make a point. No need to start capslockjawing on me. Anyways, the thing is is that we don't know it's Blast Off for sure, because we've had no official confirmation on it. [[User:Tom Servo the Great|Tom Servo the Great]] 16:57, 17 December 2011 (EST)
Thank you thats all I wanted to know.--[[User:Wwelord|Wwelord]] 17:01, 17 December 2011 (EST)

== Yay! ==

You guys are great for getting everything organized. :) Also, where was it mentioned that Arcee would be in the game? I'm removing it until we can get some sourcing. I'm also pretty sure Matt Tieger said there would be no females. --[[User:Kaymac192|Kaymac192]] 12:02, 29 December 2011 (EST)

== Dinobots - FOC or Prime disambiguation ==

The Dinobots were mentioned in Grimlock's Hall of Fame bio, so their existence predates Fall of Cybertron - there's a link to "Dinobot (Prime)" on the [[Lightning Strike Coalition]]. Is that mention enough to override the FOC parenthetical or should we amend the LSC link? --[[User:Abates|abates]] 21:26, 26 January 2012 (EST)

== Jazz voice ==

I think [[John DiMaggio]] was confirmed to voice Jazz in Fall of Cybertron.
Plus we heard his voice a while back, it sounds a lot like him.

--[[User:Diamondmatter|Diamondmatter]] 09:23, 5 May 2012 (EDT)

== PC ==

Attention, the facebook page of Fall Of Cybertron has officially announced that Fall Of Cybertron would be on PC, and be released at the same dates as the other two platforms.
--[[User:SnipinScientist|SnipinScientist]] 1 June 2012
WARPATH
I'm just happy that my favorite character warpath is in the game. AND can somebody update the pape and give it new info!?!?!

== Part of FOC voice cast revealed ==

Here's the link: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2012/06/13/transformers-fall-of-cybertron-voice-cast-revealed.aspx

Steve Blum is voicing Shockwave, Swindle, and Sharpshot

In addition to Jazz, Troy Baker is voicing Jetfire and Kickback

In addition to Cliffjumper, Nolan North is voicing Brawl and Bruticus

In addition to Megatron and Ratchet, Fred Tatasciore is voicing Metroplex

Isaac Singleton is voicing Soundwave
:Thanks, I've added the new ones. --[[User:NCZ|NCZ]] 22:34, 13 June 2012 (EDT)

You forgot to add Swindle's and Brawl's voice actors

== Funny reference ==
At one part of a preview, Kickback gets a door knocked on top of him and Snarl comes out and murmurs "excuse me" at him, referring to the old movie. lobythelegend 22:10, 30 June 2012 (EDT)

== Missing characters ==

I noticed that Silverbolt and Sideswipe are missing from the character list even though Silverbolt was in the first gameplay video and Sideswipe has his chassis in multiplayer.

We've also seen Hound's chassis in multiplayer, but I don't think it's enough to add them to characters.

Well, Silverbolt was in campaign gameplay so we should at least add him.

I think we should add Quake to the Decepticon list. During a Comic-Con demo, you saw his name alongside Warpath, Megatron, Perceptor, and the like on an MP customization screen of armor presets.
