[[Image:Stunticons.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Unfortunately, this image lost the Clint Eastwood reference to [[A Fistful of Energon|the poncho]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
In envy of the Autobots&#039; vehicular modes, Megatron stole various human vehicles and customized them so he could have his own car team, the Stunticons. Before they were given [[Spark|life]], he brought them out for a test drive via remote control, forcing them to flip, somersault, fly off the road, drive up cliffs and bash through forests without a scratch. The Stunticons having satisfied Megatron&#039;s idea of normalcy, he headed to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to get Cybernetic personalities for them. On activation, they swore loyalty to Megatron... or at least agreed to do what he told them to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their first mission was to steal the [[Superfuel|superfuel]] from the humans. As they smashed up the superfuel facility, the human guards immediately assumed that they were Autobots, since the Decepticons could not possibly [[Constructicon (G1)|transform]] [[Astrotrain (G1)|into]] [[Blitzwing (G1)|land vehicles]]. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}} Whilst the Autobots were marooned on Cybertron, the Decepticons returned to [[Earth]] with the newly awakened Stunticons who began wreaking havoc and damaging the Autobots&#039; good name by attacking the US military base containing the experimental rocket fuel. Eventually, the Autobots returned with the newly built [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] whose combined form [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] defeated the Stunticon combiner Menasor... with a little help from [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite this defeat, the Stunticons were the key component in Megatron&#039;s elaborate scheme to hold a [[Europa 2000|fake charity race]] from Paris to Istanbul so he could steal US driver [[Auggie Cahnay (G1)|Auggie Cahnay]]&#039;s car which would be melted down to house the powerful [[Pearl of Bahoudin]]. One by one, the Stunticons disabled the Autobot participants assigned to protect Cahnay, but the downfall of Megatron&#039;s plan came when he ordered the Stunticons to stop going after the remaining Autobots. Menasor was eventually defeated by the Autobots and Cahnay. {{storylink|Trans-Europe Express}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Megatron was infected with [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]] after a trip to the lost Autobot colony of [[Antilla]], the Stunticons were assigned to capture the Autobot scientist [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], who had developed the powerful anti-corrosion [[Corrostop]]. After Megatron cured himself and infected the Autobots with the disease, Menasor attacked the Statue of Liberty in [[New York City]] with the ancient [[Lightning Bug]] heat ray, intent on stopping the Autobots from matter-duplicating more Corrostop from the layer they sprayed on the statue. Superion defeated Menasor and destroyed the Lightning Bug. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] was banished for yet another failed coup, he returned with a powerful new Decepticon team called the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], who were able to outfight Autobot and Decepticon alike. Needing a trump card, Megatron attempted to call on the Stunticons to help, but they refused as the rebellious Decepticons were busy having a demolition derby with various human-owned cars. However, the Stunticons belatedly arrived after the Combaticons&#039; combined form of [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] defeated [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and forced Megatron to acknowledge Starscream as the new Decepticon leader. Realizing that Starscream would not stop at Megatron, the Stunticons merged into Menasor and disabled Bruticus in one mighty punch. {{storylink|Starscream&#039;s Brigade}}&lt;br /&gt;

At some point in Cybertron&#039;s recent history, the Stunticons were deemed psychotic and too dangerous to function in society, and as a result were placed into perpetual stasis lock inside of a prison facility.

They were available in 1986 and 1987.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The smaller Stunticons, like their Aerialbot counterparts, share a general transformation scheme involving pulling out the back of the vehicle to form legs, and flipping the hood out of the way to reveal the robot head. Dead End and Breakdown share an additional step, requiring rotating their legs at the knees and pushing the legs back in so they aren&#039;t incredibly tall and skinny. All four feature shoulder articulation and not much else. Each comes with a small pistol for the robot mode, and a &#039;&#039;huge&#039;&#039; double-barreled cannon which plugs into the back of the vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The four smaller cars are fairly close in [[Scale|scale]], but Motormaster throws the whole equation off. He&#039;s a tiny truck compared to his teammates, a point which becomes doubly obvious alongside the much-larger truck form of the original Optimus Prime toy, his supposed arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Stunticons are &#039;&#039;slightly&#039;&#039; less prone to being produced as [[Knockoff|knockoffs]] than the other Scramble City teams. Inexplicably, three members of the group (Motormaster, Breakdown and Drag Strip) are frequently packaged by bootleggers with two members of the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].  Drag Strip was named &amp;quot;Brain Man&amp;quot; in at least one such set.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; Stunticons were originally planned to be released alongside the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], and [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]]. Both the Stunticons and Protectobots were dropped from the lineup, but both came very far along in development before then. In fact, &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; Stunticon and Protectobot limbs have surfaced over the years in what appears to be finished packaging. (Motormaster and [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] have never appeared in finished packaging, but unpainted prototypes have surfaced.) However, these are still exceedingly rare pieces, and all told it is believed that less than a dozen of each team member were produced, with one exception: Breakdown, who was available in relatively small numbers (about 300 pieces) as a [[BotCon 1994]] [[exclusive]].&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; Stunticons were originally planned to be released alongside the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], and [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]]. Both the Stunticons and Protectobots were dropped from the lineup, but both came very far along in development before then. In fact, &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; Stunticon and Protectobot limbs have surfaced over the years in what appears to be finished packaging. (Motormaster and [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] have never appeared in finished packaging, but unpainted prototypes have surfaced.) However, these are still exceedingly rare pieces, and all told it is believed that less than a dozen of each team member were produced, with one exception: Breakdown, who was available in relatively small numbers (about 300 pieces) as a [[BotCon 1994]] [[exclusive]].&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;The Combaticons are a [[Decepticon]] [[subgroup]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Combaticons&#039;&#039;&#039; are a unit of fierce Decepticon soldiers, operating with (mostly) military precision under the watchful eye of the tactically brilliant Onslaught. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Combaticons consist of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The tactician [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] (leader)&lt;br /&gt;
*The violent [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]]&lt;br /&gt;
*The egotistical [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]]&lt;br /&gt;
*The con man [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]&lt;br /&gt;

They combine to form [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===American cartoon continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Starscreams brigade 5 letsgo.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Dad&#039;s Army]]&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] was banished from the Decepticons for Yet Another Failed Coup Against [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], he was deposited on the island of [[Guadalcanal]], the site of one of the major battles between the [[United States of America]] and [[Japan|Imperial Japan]] during World War II. There he found and rebuilt several abandoned US military vehicles to pass the time. After he finished, he decided that if Megatron can have a Decepticon army, then so can he!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After bluffing his way past [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] to use the [[space bridge]], he travelled to a detention center on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and liberated the [[Personality component|personality components]] of several [[Renegade Decepticon|Decepticon political prisoners]] before destroying the rest. Back on [[Earth]], Starscream installed the sparks into the rusting military vehicles and ordered them to transform.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reborn Combaticons were less than pleased with their &#039;new&#039;, primitive bodies, nor were they particularly thankful to Starscream for freeing them after millions of years of imprisonment. That is, until the former Decepticon Air Commander revealed that he had neglected to install [[energy absorber]] units into their bodies, so they would have no way of refueling. As he was the only one with the knowledge and expertise to install them, he demanded their allegiance in his aim to overthrow Megatron. The Combaticons agreed to obey Starscream, for now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Starscreams brigade 7 SSrideshoulder.jpg|right|155px|thumb|SQUAWK! Starscream wanna cracker!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Under Starscream&#039;s leadership, the Combaticons managed to capture several prisoners, then used their energy absorbers to recharge themselves at a power plant. Unfortunately, Megatron and the Decepticons attacked, while the Autobots rescued their comrades. The [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] formed [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], who was quickly defeated by the Combaticons&#039; much more powerful, but dull-witted combined form, Bruticus. Starscream ordered Bruticus to grab Megatron, forcing his former commander to acknowledge Starscream as the new leader of the Decepticons. Under duress, Megatron did so as the [[Stunticon|Stunticons]] watched nearby. The latter group, deciding that Starscream would be too dangerous as a leader, quickly formed [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and defeated Bruticus with a single attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Starscream and the Combaticons were banished from Earth on a small asteroid, left to wallow in their own misery and blame each other for their failures. {{storylink|Starscream&#039;s Brigade}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Revenge of bruticus 4 changing course.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Lads, we can get the scrambled channels now]]&lt;br /&gt;
Starscream and the Combaticons quickly had a falling-out. After Starscream left, the Combaticons attacked Cybertron, easily defeating [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and his [[Sentinel (G1)|drones]]. Thirsting for revenge, Onslaught 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 temporarily joined forces to retake Cybertron and prevent Earth&#039;s destruction, and with Starscream&#039;s help, they deactivated the Combaticons once they formed Bruticus through a failsafe device built into the treacherous giant&#039;s back. Optimus Prime and Megatron agreed that Bruticus must be destroyed, but the Decepticon leader fooled the Autobots by using Shockwave&#039;s [[holographic projector]] 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}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Revenge of bruticus 15 fakeblowup.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Care Bear Stare]]&lt;br /&gt;
Soon afterwards, during Megatron&#039;s latest scheme on Earth involving the theft of fighter aircraft using Middle-Eastern criminals, the Combaticons were called into service to defend Megatron&#039;s [[Giant Purple Griffin]], a large... thing that apparently pumped [[oil]]. Or something. Struggling against the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], the Combaticons formed Bruticus, yet were still knocked over when the Aerialbots 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]], Bruticus and gas prices flying away. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Bruticus punch planebot.jpg|left|155px|thumb|&amp;amp;quot;Bruticus punch planebot so hard, make artist draw all over cel!&amp;amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
While attacking a human city, Bruticus was destroyed in battle with [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] (man, this guy can&#039;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&#039;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. (episode)|B.O.T.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the great battle at [[Autobot City]], the Combaticons were among the battered Decepticon forces who withdrew to [[Chaar]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} Swindle was instrumental in negotiating an alliance with the [[Quintesson|Quintessons]]; {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}} the Combaticons later participated in a Quintesson-led assault on the Autobots on [[Goo]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A lone Blast Off later attacked a [[Skuxxoid]] who was using [[Death crystal|death crystals]] to blow stuff up in Decepticon territory, and forced the alien to tell him where he got the ammunition. When a group of Autobots tried to find the crystals as well, Blast Off attacked them alongside [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]]. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}} The Combaticons later failed to assassinate Decepticon exile [[Octane]] at [[Autobot City]], {{storylink|Starscream&#039;s Ghost}} then succeeded in shooting up a shuttle meant to take human delegates to an interstellar peace conference. {{storylink|Surprise Party}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During a Decepticon attack on the [[Netherlands]], Swindle infiltrated [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] and stole his [[transformation cog]], whilst Vortex was charged with guarding [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}} The Combaticons later participated in the assault on [[Paradron]], where they guarded the imprisoned Paradronians, among other things. {{storylink|Fight or Flee}} When the Earth was infected by the [[Hate Plague]], the Combaticons (Bruticus) were among those infected. Brawl was seen driving along the road and Vortex was attacked a civilian plane on a runway. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]&#039;s directions, the Combaticons constructed a giant planetary rocket engine that was used to propel Cybertron into orbit around Earth. They also dragged away the bodies of defeated Autobots to use as fuel for the engine. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;

===Japanese cartoon continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers&#039;&#039; comic====&lt;br /&gt;
Bruticus arrived to help the [[Stunticon]]s fight [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] and [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] at a baseball stadium in [[Japan]]. He quickly defeated Defensor, injuring [[Hot Spot (G1)|his torso]] and preventing him from combining. In response, Superion disabled Brawl and Swindle using his [[electrostatic discharger rifle]], allowing [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] and [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] to steal their places as Bruticus&#039;s legs. Taking control of the giant&#039;s flight systems, the two Protectobots flew off with Bruticus as [[Kenji]] cheered at them to drop the Combaticons into the sea. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 5}} Onslaught later joined the Stunticons in a scheme to defame the Autobots by destroying factories around Japan whilst wearing Autobot [[insignia]]s. When confronted by the real Autobots, he &amp;quot;combined&amp;quot; with fellow [[Decepticon Trailer Brigade]] member [[Motormaster]], but they were defeated and sent packing by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 7}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Combaticons&#039; next mission was to hunt down [[Murdered puppy|an escaped dog]] that Megatron had experimented on, imbuing it with [[Decepticon super science]]. Brawl managed to fatally injure the animal, much to Onslaught&#039;s annoyance as they were supposed to capture it alive. The Autobot [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] soon arrived to put a halt to their activities, and the dog expressed its gratitude by using its experimental powers to energize Powerglide with [[Scramble Power]]. As Powerglide used the power to combine with his fellow [[Mini Vehicle|Minibots]], the Combaticons responded by forming Bruticus. He proved weaker than this new [[Minibot combiner]], however, as it used the &amp;quot;Minibot Warrior Spiral Attack&amp;quot; to drill straight through Bruticus&#039;s chest, defeating him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dog still died, though. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 8}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Scramble City&#039;&#039; OVA====&lt;br /&gt;
When the Stunticons were dispatched to hinder the Autobots from constructing [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]], they were attacked by the Aerialbots and did not fare too well. The Combaticons arrived to help, and together Bruticus and Menasor easily overpowered Superion. However, Scramble City itself soon arrived and blasted both combiners away. {{storylink|Scramble City}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers&#039;&#039; comic====&lt;br /&gt;
The Combaticons emerged as Bruticus alongside the other Decepticon super-warriors, ready to storm the Autobot energy tower on the planet [[Feminia]]. Galvatron and his men laughed off the presence of Superion, Defensor and [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]...but the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibot]]s? Carrying a length of thread?! Oh, the horror. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;The Great Transformer War&#039;&#039; comic====&lt;br /&gt;
The Combaticons and Stunticons were working out of Trypticon where the kidnapped scientist [[Doctor Dalton]] was being forced to work for Galvatron&#039;s evil ends. When the Aerialbots and Protectobots arrived to save the scientist, Onslaught and Motormaster combined with Trypticon in their deployment launcher modes. Hurtling their fellow Decepticons at Superion did such damage that the Aerialbots were forced to disassemble. Somehow, however, the remaining Protectobots managed to hold off both Bruticus and Menasor long enough for [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] to repair the Aerialbots, and for [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] to sneak past the Decepticons and retrieve Dalton. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;The Headmasters&#039;&#039; cartoon====&lt;br /&gt;
The Combaticons participated in an all-out Decepticon attack on Cybertron, {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} until [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] arrived and drove them away. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} Shortly afterwards, [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] set out to find the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and bring it to Optimus Prime, and the Combaticons were among the troops sent out to stop him. They were ambushed by the Protectobots, and defeated when Defensor buried Bruticus in a rockfall. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}} Not long after that, the Combaticons defended [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] against [[Blaster (G1)|Twincast]]&#039;s attempted infiltration, but failed when the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] arrived and distracted them. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:UltraMagnusDies Combaticons.jpg|right|200px|thumb|&amp;quot;All six Combaticons present and accou... Wait! Why are YOU with us?&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Combaticons were later part of &#039;&#039;another&#039;&#039; attack on Cybertron, during which they killed plenty of [[Generic|soldiers]] before getting into another fight with Defensor. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} They lost. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}} When the Decepticons planted a giant carnivorous plant in [[San Francisco]], the Combaticons and Stunticons were ordered to with attack any Autobots who arrived to kill it. When the Aerialbots and [[Trainbot|Trainbots]] did just that, Bruticus got into a energy-sword fight with [[Raiden]]. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}} Sixshot later sent the Combaticons, [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and [[Horrorcon|Horrorcons]] to attack an Autobot energy facility in [[Miami]], in order to lure Autobot troops away from [[Autobot City]]. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Combaticons were present when [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] held a speech about Galvatron&#039;s recent death and took control of the Decepticons. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}} Bruticus was later part of a small group of Decepticons who tried to lead Fortress Maximus away from the Decepticon base on [[Master (planet)|Master]]. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} He then stood by and laughed as [[Predaking]] sank the luxury liner &#039;&#039;[[Queen World]]&#039;&#039; in the Atlantic Ocean, before being stationed at one of Scorponok&#039;s [[Death Tower]]s in Canberra, [[Australia]]. He defended the tower against Defensor until it activated, at which point [[Wingspan]] and [[Pounce]] ordered him to withdraw. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bruticus participated in the final battle with the Autobots at the North Pole, and fought [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] alongside [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]]. As Scorponok&#039;s energy-absorbing satellite started tearing the Earth apart, Bruticus retreated into the atmosphere to watch the results alongside the rest of the Decepticon forces. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Super-God Masterforce&#039;&#039; manga====&lt;br /&gt;
Brawl and Blast Off participated in an attack on [[Athenia]] by forming the right limbs of [[Scramble 7]], a Decepticon combiner using various combiner team members in a supposedly &amp;quot;ideal&amp;quot; configuration. Despite being so great, however, Scramble 7 was defeated by [[Ginrai|Super Ginrai]], [[Lightfoot]] and [[Ranger]] thanks to their use of [[Chōkon Power]]. {{storylink|The Battle Begins!

Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violen Jiger]] gathered together the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]], upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets.  The Combaticons were of those summoned, but only in the form of Bruticus. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} {{storylink|Zone (manga)|Transformers: Zone}} {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}&lt;br /&gt;

====Generation 1====&lt;br /&gt;
{{noteukonly}}&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The Combaticons and their fellow [[Special Team|Special Teams]] were first conceived within [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]&#039;s mind shortly after the human had relinquished control of the [[Creation Matrix]] to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] was able to view this data remotely and prepare for their development. {{storylink|Second Generation!}}&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On their first mission on Earth, the Combaticons followed [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] to retrieve the human [[hydrothermocline]] plant. When they arrived, they faced [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] waiting for them. The Combaticons formed Bruticus and stared down [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] when a nearby human named [[Ethan Zachary]] suggested that they play a [[Multi-World|video game]] over the plant instead. Optimus Prime and Megatron both agreed, and the Combaticons were sent into the game to attack the Protectobots. However, they lost every battle due to not taking the &amp;quot;wildlife&amp;quot; AI into account. {{storylink|Afterdeath!}} After this, the Combaticons didn&#039;t do much but follow Megatron around, even when their mentally unstable leader heavily damaged Brawl for mouthing off. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Combaticons would later attack the [[Throttlebot|Throttlebots]] in a used car lot, only for the Protectobots and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] to interfere and force them to retreat. {{storylink|Used Autobots}} Shortly afterwards, the group decided to ambush the Protectobots on their way to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. This time, Bruticus claimed victory over Defensor by hitting him with a train, but was soon tricked and broken into his component parts by Blaster. After this, Blaster took control of Blast Off and flew into space, separating the shuttle from the other Combations. {{storylink|Child&#039;s Play (issue)|Child&#039;s Play}} Along with most of the Decepticon army, the Combaticons later ambushed the Autobots on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], only to be beaten back by Blaster and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|Totaled!}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Totalwar-combaticons.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Grrrrrr... fiesty!]]&lt;br /&gt;
After Bludgeon&#039;s defeat, Swindle took the returning Decepticon leader Megatron on a tour of the [[Warworld]] battleship he had inherited. {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness}} Soon after, Brawl and Blast Off were among the Decepticons preparing to charge into battle against the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]]. {{storylink|New Dawn}} Vortex was seen with various other Decepticons attacking the Cybertronians on [[Ethos]]. {{storylink|Escalation!}} As the alliance progressed, Onslaught was struck by empathic pains as his apparent spawn [[Mindset]] was consumed by the [[Swarm (G2)|Swarm]]. {{storylink|Swarm (issue)|Swarm}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the final battle at [[Earth]], all the Combaticons later attempted to defend the [[Warworld]] against a Cybertronian boarding party led by the treacherous Starscream. Despite Onslaught&#039;s emphatic orders of &amp;quot;maximum firepower&amp;quot;, they didn&#039;t do so well. {{storylink|Total War!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Young Corgi continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the fleshlings discovered a mysterious lost civilization buried underneath the ice, the Combaticons Brawl, Vortex and Blast Off joined [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] in seeking whatever treasures the hidden city might have. They were confronted by the Aerialbots named [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] and [[Slingshot]], and fought on the surface over the city. Little did they know that the [[city-dweller]]s were robots themselves, remotely storing and copying images of the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, imprinting themselves with the skills of warfare. They were only stopped by the unlikely duo of Ravage and [[Hot Rod]]. After the city-dwellers were defeated, the Autobots granted safe passage to their one-time Decepticon allies. Blast Off expanded to his maximum size to transport his fellow &#039;Cons back to Decepticon headquarters. {{storylink|Battle Beneath the Ice}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
The five soldiers who would one day become the Combaticons were early participants in the Decepticons&#039; war effort. While Onslaught and the others joined Shockwave in attacking [[Iacon]] and the High Council Pavilions being protected by the Autobots, Swindle chose to throw in with Starscream, helping him to disable [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] and assume temporary control over Megatron&#039;s planetary juggernaut project. {{storylink|The War Within}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At some later date, these five warriors were officially brought together as a combiner team, given the ability to form Bruticus. Like the other Combiners, they were banned from operating together on any given faction during the Dark Ages, by decree of the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]] to prevent any more devastation to the planet at the hands of the super-robot combiners.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Combaticons were still authorized to operate individually and separately among the various Decepticon factions. Given his previous efforts helping [[Motormaster]] and the [[Battlecharger|Battlechargers]] with Starscream&#039;s coup, Swindle may have joined them as a member of the [[Predacon (War Within)|Predacons]], although this was never stated. {{storylink|War Within: The Dark Ages|The War Within: The Dark Ages}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the modern era, the Combaticons had been declared war criminals by the united Cybertronian government under Shockwave and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]. The details of their crimes and why they were singled-out for imprisonment is unclear—Shockwave may have been intentionally eliminating [[Ratbat (G1)|potential rivals]] or [[Stunticon|loose cannons]], or may simply have allowed their imprisonment as a token showing of cooperation with the Autobot High Council. Once the Transformers from Earth were contacted, and uprisings began taking place on Cybertron, Starscream managed to worm his way into the detention facilities and recover the five stasis pods containing the Combaticons. He loaded them onto his stolen transport and brought them back to Earth with him and the rest of his hand-picked crew. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}&lt;br /&gt;

On Earth, Starscream reactivated the Combaticons as his personal &amp;quot;brigade&amp;quot;, scanning Earth military vehicles for their alternate modes. Using the Combaticons as shock troops, he made a two-staged assault on the Ark, and successfully took five of the seven remaining Autobots off-line. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}} Starscream and Bruticus&#039; efforts to complete their set were interrupted by the arrival of [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]], Starscream&#039;s crazed clone-brother, and Bruticus was damaged in the melee. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} After the battle with Sunstorm, Starscream attempted to train the Combaticons into better military shape, using the Autobot prisoner [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] as a &amp;quot;tackling dummy&amp;quot;. His training efforts were interrupted by the return of Megatron and his combiner team, the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. Even as Bruticus, the Combaticons quickly fell before the might of [[Predaking]]. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}&lt;br /&gt;

===Devil&#039;s Due &#039;&#039;G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers&#039;&#039; comics===&lt;br /&gt;
The Combaticons were among the Decepticons under control of &amp;quot;the Son of Megatron&amp;quot;, [[Serpent O.R.]]. Onslaught tried to protect his leader from a vengeful Optimus Prime while Brawl, Vortex and Blast Off were seen fighting against a combined Autobot-[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] army. Swindle, however, was nowhere to be found. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===IDW comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] was one of the worst violators of the [[Tyrest Accord]], constantly selling Transformers technology to alien races, and had gone AWOL from the Decepticons, hunted by both sides of the war. {{storylink|Spotlight: Ultra Magnus}} The other four remained Combaticons, and were a dangerous tactical unit capable of taking on and beating superior numbers (even ones backed up by [[Arcee (G1)|total loonies]]). Under orders from [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzaitron]], they successfully raided the [[Garrus-9]] Autobot prison and abducted [[Pretender Monster|the six newest inmates]], the gestalt Transformers. {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon afterwards, the Combaticons were among the only survivors of an attack by the [[Dead Universe]] Transformers, who activated the gestalt combined form, [[Monstructor]], inside Banzaitron&#039;s base. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}} After a deal was negotiated between Arcee and Banzaitron; the Combaticons, remaining DSS members and the crazed Autobot fought Monstructor on [[Rotan]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|Due to the truncated nature of the &#039;&#039;[[Revelation (IDW)|Revelation]]&#039;&#039; miniseries, the outcome of this battle is unknown. However, as [[Devastator (G1)| Devastator]] is seen on Earth one year later in &#039;&#039;[[All Hail Megatron]]&#039;&#039; , it is safe to assume that Monstructor was captured and the gestalt technology had been refined during the time period in &#039;&#039;[[Maximum Dinobots]]&#039;&#039; }}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:As a [[Scramble City]] [[combiner]] team, the Combaticon team includes four small toys, sold carded at the $5 price point, and one large leader toy, sold boxed for $12 or so and including all the combiner [[kibble]]. They were available as part of the 1986 and 1987 assortments. In most markets, the Combaticons were only sold as individuals; the combined [[giftset]] was only available in Japan and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like their counterparts, the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], the four small Combaticons feature unique transformation schemes.  All have attachable weapons for their vehicle modes.  Posability varies from figure to figure; Brawl and Swindle have knee and &amp;quot;elbow&amp;quot; joints (their shoulder joints are halfway down their arms), but their legs are conjoined at the knees.  Blast Off and Vortex feature an early use of [[Ball joint|ball joints]] in their shoulders, giving them near-universal range of motion, but are otherwise similarly limited.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like the other three original Scramble City teams, the small limbs can attach to [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]&#039;s robot mode, while the leader can be used to make an additional ramp/platform for Metroplex or [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Combaticon molds have been frequently redecoed (and slightly retooled) over the years; they have been used to make &#039;&#039;[[Operation Combination (toyline)|Operation Combination]]&#039;&#039; [[Battle Gaia]], &#039;&#039;[[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; [[Ruination (RID)|Ruination]], and &#039;&#039;[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; Ruination. They are also a favorite for [[Knockoff|bootleg]] toy manufacturers to copy, sometimes sold with bizarre new names like [[Onslaught (G1)|Tugging Gun]], [[Swindle (G1)|Copter]], [[Blast Off (G1)|Secpmdary]], [[Onslaught (G1)|Steel Generals]], and [[Blast Off (G1)|Secondary Brain]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: The &#039;&#039;[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; Combaticons are [[redeco]]s of the &#039;&#039;[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]&#039;&#039; [[Destruction Team]]. In this incarnation, Swindle is a helicopter and Blast Off is a tank, while their combined formed is known as Bruticus Maximus for [[trademark]] reasons. They were only available as a Bruticus Maximus multi-pack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Combaticons are identical to the &#039;&#039;[[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; [[Combaticon (ROTF)|Combaticons]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:G1OddCombat.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Floro Dery does odd things.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Before the Combaticons were animated, there were apparently two different character model sheets made up for them. The ones we know use the toy heads, but bodies that, for whatever reason, have little resemblance to the actual vehicles or robot modes of the actual Combaticon figures. Another one appears to be based heavily on the toys...  but with new heads. These went unused in any media.&lt;br /&gt;
