Logical and psychopathic.]]<br /> '''Strafe''' is a really nice guy, one of the kindest, gentlest mechanoids you could ever hope to meet, and he's a crack shot with his heat-ray rifle, too. It's said that Strafe can burn a hole in a screw head (size not specified) from two miles away. Too bad he can't tighten up the loose screws in his own cranial module, though. He's got a case of nerves that could very well cause [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] to fear for his job security, and when startled he tends to SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT FIRE FIRE BANG BANG BANG KILL KILL KILL IT DEAD DEAD DEAD without stopping to aim or analyze the threat, and doesn't quit until he's shot down or runs out of heat-ray charges. Sometimes, though, all is quiet... too quiet... and he doesn't like that, either. SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT FIRE FIRE BANG BANG KILL KILL KILL...<br /> <br /> He can combine with the other [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] to form [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], and seems to make a rather calm limb. Sometimes he's a [[Targetmaster]], in which case his partner is [[Rocketbot]].<br /> <br /> {{bigquote|I mean, we got us some fast action! Hard action! Action hard and fast! Action to get the old pumps pumpin'! Action to — HUH? — YAHOOOO!|Strafe, always excitable|&quot;[[Money Is Everything]]&quot;}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Marvel Comics continuity===<br /> {{noteukonly}}<br /> Strafe was part of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]'s group of Autobots on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}} When Fortress Maximus decided to leave the war and head to [[Nebulos]], Strafe and the other Technobots agreed to follow him on his quest for peace, which would have done the high-strung fellow a world of good. Alas, the Decepticons followed the Autobots to Nebulos and brought the war with them. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}} In the Nebulan resort city of [[Splendora]], Strafe and the Technobots fought [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] as the combined [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}} Though Abominus and its component [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] were defeated, Splendora lay in ruins. The Autobots and Decepticons ultimately left Nebulos for [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}<br /> <br /> Strafe fell bravely (and rather instantly) in the defense of [[Buenos Aires]] against the [[Underbase]]-powered [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Dark Star}}<br /> <br /> ====Marvel UK future timelines====<br /> ''In 2008, Strafe and several Autobots under the command of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] responded to a mysterious call for help on Cybertron. Astonishingly, the call came from the Decepticons. Even more astonishing, it was genuine. Strafe and the Autobots joined forces with their Decepticon counterparts in driving a marauding crew of [[Quintesson|Quintessons]] off the planet. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}''<br /> <br /> ''After [[Time Wars]] rebooted future history, Strafe was next seen stationed at [[Autobot City]] in 2009. When the Autobot shuttle from Cybertron crashed down instead of landing safely, Strafe flew out to help alongside [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] and [[Afterburner (G1)|Afterburner]]. {{storylink|Shadow of Evil}} What they found was Autobot commander [[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus Prime]], aglow with evil and possessed by the living malice of [[Unicron]] that had infected the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] a year earlier. Strafe was apparently killed in the resulting conflict before Rodimus regained control of his actions. {{storylink|White Fire}}''<br /> <br /> ''In another future, the last Decepticon was destroyed by [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]] in 2510. However, the Autobots soon came to blows over a misunderstanding, and war broke out again almost as soon as it ended. Strafe and the Technobots formed a new faction under Ultra Magnus against the Wreckers. {{storylink|Peace}}''<br /> <br /> ===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===<br /> ====''The Transformers'' cartoon====<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Steve Bulen]] (English), [[Kōji Totani]] (Japanese), [[Ulrich Bernsdorff]] (German, ''Grimlocks New Brain''), [[Reinhard Brock]] (German, ''Money is Everything''), [[Hans-Rainer Müller]] (German, ''The Rebirth, Part 1'')<br /> <br /> Strafe was created, like the other Technobots, by the temporarily super-intelligent [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}} Less than a week later, he and the other Technobots were sent to Earth to learn how to interact with [[human]]s, where they encountered the unscrupulous trader [[Dirk Manus]] and his business partners, the [[Quintesson]]s. {{storylink|Money Is Everything}}<br /> <br /> Along with the other Technobots, Strafe attempted to drive away the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] away from [[Mark Morgan|Dr. Morgan]]'s lab, but was unsuccessful in preventing them from retrieving a heat-resistant alloy. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}<br /> <br /> Strafe was at Autobot City with his fellow Technobots and the [[Throttlebot]]s, talking about what a glorious day it was, and about how every day had been a glorious one ever since they ended the threat of the Decepticons once and for all, and the days would continue to be glorious as long as... okay, you know what's coming. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}<br /> <br /> ====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====<br /> {{note|For the purposes of this continuity, ignore the last paragraph.}}<br /> <br /> In 2011, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] staged a major attack on Cybertron. Strafe and the Technobots joined the Dinobots on the front lines of defense. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} As [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] began his search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] on Earth, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] gathered Strafe and the Technobots to prevent the Decepticons from hampering his quest. When Hot Rod finally located the Matrix, Galvatron confronted him with the Decepticon [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] and Terrorcons, but the Technobots arrived to help even the odds. Scattershot ordered them to form Computron, and the mighty giant occupied the Decepticons so that Hot Rod could make a break for the [[Space Bridge]]. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}<br /> <br /> Later, Galvatron launched [[Metamorphose]], a metal-twisting meteorite, and the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] were its first victims. Strafe and the Technobots were sent out to recover their damaged comrades for repairs, but they were intercepted by the Terrorcons. The fighting escalated with new arrivals on both sides, as the Decepticons tried to keep their foes occupied until the meteorite reached [[Athenia]], destroying the Autobots completely. The [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]] eventually arrived to carry the Headmasters into space to confront the meteorite, and so Strafe and the Technobots formed Computron and covered their retreat. {{storylink|Approach of the Demon Meteorite}}<br /> <br /> When [[buridanka|a giant carnivorous plant]] took root in [[San Francisco]], Ultra Magnus sent Strafe and the Technobots to deal with the incident. The plant proved to be extraordinarily resilient, however, and it was also guarded by the Decepticons. The Technobots were distracted by combat with the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], first as individuals and later combined as Computron and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}} After the Trainbots ran into trouble on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], Strafe and his team were on the way to help when [[Sixshot]] and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] intervened. The Earthbound Decepticons succeeded in occupying the Technobots so that they couldn't make it to Mars. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}}<br /> <br /> Strafe and the Technobots were part of a strike team that flew to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to disrupt Scorponok's gathering of Decepticons. They immediately formed Computron upon entering the battle. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}} Strafe's regiment later helped load the Trainbots with energon supplies for the destitute planet [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]]. They were attacked by the greedy Decepticons and fought back both as the mighty Computron and as individuals, using the Trainbots' large vehicle modes as a shield. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}<br /> <br /> The Technobots accompanied Fortress on his quest to prevent the Decepticons from stealing energy elsewhere in the galaxy. During this extended mission, Strafe and his teammates formed Computron to battle [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] on the planet [[Paradise]]. {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}}<br /> <br /> After returning to Earth, Strafe and the Technobots reassociated with Ultra Magnus at Autobot City on Earth. They were sent to [[Miami]] to counter a Decepticon attack, and battled Abominus as Computron. Unfortunately, the attack was a ruse to draw them away from Autobot City, and they were unable to stop [[Sixshot]]'s assassination of Ultra Magnus. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} The Decepticon attacks continued even after Magnus's death, as Sixshot launched five separate strikes at once around the world. Strafe and the Technobots were dispatched as Computron to one of the many battle sites. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} When the Decepticons seemingly abandoned Earth, Strafe and the Technobots assisted Spike in rebuilding the planet after the enemy's departure. On one occasion, they located Sixshot's old command base. By combining into Computron, the Technobots helped Defensor and Raiden obliterate the base, wiping out all trace of the Decepticons' presence. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}<br /> <br /> As part of Computron, Strafe participated in the Autobots final battle with Scorponok's Decepticons at the North Pole. He lent his energies to the Headmasters' [[Head Formation]] to revitalize Fortress Maximus at the critical moment. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}<br /> <br /> ====''Gentei! Gentei!''====<br /> When Grimlock created the Technobots, he didn't build them from scratch: In actuality, he reconstructed a number of dead bodies he found within Unicron's head, former victims of the planet-eater. In the midst of a battle with the Decepticons, Strafe took the full brunt of an attack from the villains, triggering the inexplicable transformation of his body back into its original form, a body whose design Unicron had evidently mimicked when he created [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. This baffling reconfiguration merely invigorated Strafe, who gained hugely increased flight speed and a new [[Targetmaster]] partner, [[Rocketbot]]. {{storylink|#genteitoy|Strafe's ''Gentei! Gentei!'' toy bio}}<br /> <br /> ===IDW comics continuity===<br /> [[Image:Stormbringer1 Jetfire Strafe.jpg|left|300px|thumb|&quot;Oooh... Strafe feels much damage coming on.&quot;]]<br /> Strafe and the other Technobots crew the Autobot vessel ''[[Calabi-Yau]]'', under the command of [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]. Strafe was nervous about landing on the burnt out surface of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], but accompanied Jetfire, [[Scattershot (G1)|Scattershot]] and [[Lightspeed (G1 Technobot)|Lightspeed]] on a reconnaissance mission. Just as they were about to leave, they were captured by [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s group of Decepticon. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 1|Stormbringer #1}} Strafe survived the techno-cannibalization being performed by the mad cultists and helped uncover the key to defeating the revenant [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}<br /> <br /> S-Strafe had a n-noticeable s-stutter. <br /> <br /> Sometime later, in the aftermath of [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]]'s attack on [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], the Technobots and the crew of the ''[[Ark-27]]'' arrived to take the [[Pretender Monster|combiners]] into custody. {{Storylink|Spotlight: Optimus Prime}} They brought them to the [[Garrus-9]] facility, where they tried to reform the Decepticons and rid them of their &quot;group consciousness&quot;. Before the Technobots could make much progress, the Monstructor components were stolen during a Decepticon attack. {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}}<br /> <br /> As the threat of the [[Expansion]] came to light, Strafe and the Technobots used Bludgeon's [[Pretender]] technology to make shells to protect Autobots from the hazards of the [[Dead Universe]].{{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}} Using the ''[[Nightbird (ship)|Nightbird]]'', they then saved the crew of the ''[[Mirror-Manifold]]'' and gave them the shells. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Generation 1===<br /> [[Image:G1Strafe toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Only a Technobot could get this much firepower from a pair of Cheetos.]]<br /> *'''Strafe''' (Technobot, 1987)<br /> **''Team ID number:'' '''TK3'''<br /> **''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-87'''<br /> **''Accessories:'' &quot;Heat Ray Rifle&quot;, 2 &quot;Light-Pulse Blasters&quot;<br /> <br /> : Strafe transforms into a Cybertronic &quot;rocket plane&quot; (according to his instructions) with twin front-mounted &quot;light-pulse blasters&quot;.

Onslaught is ROARING! He is one metamorphin' DUDICUS!'']]<br /> '''Onslaught''' is what you'd call the &quot;hands-off&quot; type. He doesn't enjoy getting his mitts dirty, but instead prefers the thrill of designing battle plans, strategies, and tactics, and then watching his [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] soldiers carry them out. While he typically crafts his strategies to exclude his direct involvement, Onslaught is no coward. When required, he will engage in battle with strength, cunning and earthquaking fury. This darker, more brutish side of Onslaught might lead some [[Decepticon]]s into thinking he has a secret blood-lust stashed away in his circuits. But truth be told, he's really just ticked off that his plans didn't work out the way they were supposed to.<br /> <br /> Onslaught can combine with his fellow Combaticons to form [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], who is considerably dumber than Onslaught.<br /> <br /> After his conversion to [[Power Core Combination]] technology, he took the code name '''Combatmaster'''.<br /> <br /> {{quote|I beg your pardon?!

Next time, Vortex, ''chew'' your food!&quot;]]<br /> Onslaught was one of the five [[renegade Decepticon]]s liberated by [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] in the Air Commander's latest attempt to unseat [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. As an element of their imprisonment, they had been reduced to mere [[personality component]]s, so Starscream installed them into abandoned [[World War II]] military vehicles. The transplant caused the vehicles to immediately reconfigure themselves: Onslaught in particular went from being a [[wikipedia:Half-track|half-track]] troop carrier to being a flatbed missile-truck, before turning into a robot. Starscream called them &quot;Combaticons&quot; and announced their names as they transformed, but they didn't recognize him. Nor did they feel particularly indebted to him for their release; in the end, Starscream only guaranteed their loyalty though having given them bodies bereft of [[energy absorber]]s, so they would be dependent upon him to refuel.<br /> <br /> Onslaught and his fellow Combaticons agreed to work with Starscream to overthrow Megatron on the promise of being given the vital components. Onslaught worked in capturing two [[Autobot]]s, though he got into an argument with [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] over who was responsible for the act. Later, while recharging at a power station, Starscream's brigade was confronted by the Decepticons under Megatron's command. Anticipating that [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] might come into play, Starscream ordered Onslaught and the other Combaticons to merge into the dim-witted [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. The Combaticon combiner managed to soundly defeat Devastator, but was in turn defeated by a surprise attack by [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. For their treachery, Megatron banished Onslaught, his comrades and Starscream in space on a desolate asteroid. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}} <br /> <br /> [[Image:Revenge of bruticus 4 changing course.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Megatron felt quite foolish once Onslaught showed him the one loose wire preventing his [[Victory (G1)|space cruiser]] from flying again.]]<br /> <br /> After a falling out with Starscream, Onslaught became the mastermind of [[Operation Revenge]] and helped defeat [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s forces on Cybertron. He also used his external backpack and altered the Space Bridge to send Earth into the sun. It didn't work as he was defeated by the allied Decepticons and Autobots. Then Megatron had the Combaticons, including Onslaught, reprogrammed to serve him. Poor guy, can't seem to get a break. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:AerialAssault Onslaughtattacks.jpg|left|200px|thumb|In Soviet Russia, [[Aerialbot (G1)|skeet]] shoots back!]]<br /> <br /> After that little lobotomy, the Combaticons were deployed to Earth's Middle East to assist in Megatron's scheme to steal military jets, rebuild them into cars, drive them out of the owners' nations, and then rebuild them back into drone jets in friendly territory. Yeah. Onslaught and the other Combaticons attacked the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] when they snooped around, managing to force [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]] to crash into a cave (YAY!). Later, Onslaught and the ground-based Combaticons formed an anti-aircraft screen against an Aerialbot attack on [[Giant Purple Griffin|the Fortress]], then merged into Bruticus, but was rather quickly defeated by [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] before being blown away by the exploding oil wells. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}}<br /> <br /> Back in the [[United States of America|United States]], Onslaught led the Combaticons in driving down the road of a random city for no apparent reason until they were confronted by [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. Though the Combaticons formed Bruticus, they were blown to pieces by a single shot from the Autobot, with [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] being the only survivor. Swindle later sold the parts of his comrades, but was forced to buy them back for Megatron's next Crazy Scheme. The Combaticons formed Bruticus to operate the orbital disruptor cannon, but was shot by the cannon itself when [[B.O.T. (robot)|B.O.T.]] tampered with it. {{storylink|B.O.T.

Onslaught warned first [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and then the [[Quintesson]]s that the Decepticons would no longer be powerful enough to attack the Autobots directly, but he joined most of the other Decepticons in their attack on the Autobots anyway. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} Much later, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] sent Onslaught, [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] and [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]] to assassinate the Decepticon exile [[Octane]]. Onslaught attempted to hold his troops until the proper moment presented itself, but Octane was still able to seek cover before their laser fire could terminate him. The traitor's Autobot partner, [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]], then used his eponymous ability to blind and disorient the Combaticons long enough for the two [[Triple Changer]]s to escape. {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost}}<br /> <br /> Onslaught's next mission was to lead the Combaticons in an attack on an Autobot shuttle waiting to deliver [[human]]s to a peace conference. He had a complicated and cunning strategy of misdirecting the Autobots by dressing up like Bruticus and having Swindle painted like [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], but the Autobots were unfazed by the confusion. The Combaticons succeeded in busting up the shuttle a little before being driven away by the Autobots. {{storylink|Surprise Party}} As part of Bruticus, Onslaught watched the Decepticon assault on [[Paradron]], {{storylink|Fight or Flee}} and was infected by the [[Hate Plague]], along with the rest of the galaxy. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}<br /> <br /> During the battle for the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]], Onslaught led his Combaticons in the crafting of a giant planetary rocket engine that would be used to propel Cybertron into orbit around Earth. This engine was fueled by the reprocessed body parts of defeated Autobots. Gross. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ====''Fight!

While this could be inferred from the US comic, it was not explicitly stated. What makes things even more confusing is Onslaught's reaction to the death of Mindset in the Generation 2 comic.

Starscream ordered them to defeat the magnificent Autobot [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] as a means to train themselves for greater battles. Unfortunately, the Combaticons did not fare well when the crafty Autobot split into his two forms, with Onslaught nearly crushed by the Lynx's right paw as he was issuing orders. After Starscream deactivated Sky Lynx, Onslaught berated his team as buffoons for not paying attention to his battle plan.<br /> <br /> This was the least of their troubles, however, as [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] showed up as soon after Sky Lynx shut down.

They were the storming squad which participated in the ground assault raid of the [[Garrus-9]] penal facility, successfully blasting their way through Autobot resistance and capturing [[Pretender Monster|the &quot;gestalt&quot; transformers]].

He was among the deactivated captives retrieved by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]'s team as they searched for more allies for their quest to get off the planet. {{storylink|A Rude Awakening}} When Swindle unleashed Menasor on the Autobots and the combiner was defeated, Onslaught was one of the Decepticons who managed to slip away. {{storylink|Earthworks}}<br /> <br /> After reuniting with Brawl and Vortex, Onslaught was hired by [[North Korea]]n leader [[Kim Jong Du]] to lead an attack on [[South Korea]], destroying a South Korean military outpost at the de-militarized zone in the process. He was surprised by a shot from a tank, but Brawl and Vortex quickly joined in and wiped out the human forces. This attack was directly responsible for the [[President of the United States]] declaring any country working with Cybertronians was considered in possession of weapons of mass destruction. {{storylink|International Incident Part 1: &quot;The Land Ironclads&quot;}} None of the Combaticons much enjoyed working for humans, but unfortunately these humans knew more about the production of [[energon]] than they did. Onslaught assured the others he was formulating a better plan, but it was clear that they needed Swindle for these situations. As the Combaticons argued amongst themselves, the Autobots and [[Skywatch]] performed a surprise attack on them. Onslaught and the others were overwhelmed at first, but soon turned the tide after noting that the Autobots were forced to stay in their vehicle modes and that their only air support was a [[Jetfire (G1)|scientist]]. They took out two Autobots and fled back to North Korea without suffering much damage. {{storylink|International Incident Part 2: &quot;Ranks of Bronze&quot;}}<br /> <br /> As Onslaught toasted to their victory in North Korea, the Autobots returned and resumed their assault, having dealt with their transformation issue. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] began wrestling with Onslaught while also telling him that helping the humans with their infighting would only lead to chaos. Onslaught was unimpressed by his words, since the Autobots had their own human &quot;masters&quot; in Skywatch, but found himself defeated when rebellious Decepticon [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] bombed him. {{storylink|International Incident Part 3: &quot;Hawk Among the Sparrows&quot;}} As the battle got close to the [[China|Chinese]] border, the combatants found that the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] had allied themselves with the Chinese government just like the Combaticons had with North Korea. The Predacons were willing to let them off with a warning, but as they turned to leave, Onslaught decided to shake things up by shooting [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]] in the back. Mistaking this for an Autobot attack, the Predacons attacked Optimus Prime and the others, while Onslaught presumably giggled to himself. The battle ended when [[Russia]] attempted to nuke everyone present: Onslaught confirmed this via radio contact with the North Koreans. In the end, the Combaticons were set free as the Autobots didn't have the resources to keep them as prisoners, but their alliance with Kim Jong Du ended with a boom as Thundercracker bombed North Korea's energon factories. {{storylink|International Incident Part 4: &quot;All My Sins Remembered&quot;}}<br /> <br /> {{--}}<br /> ===''Wings Universe''===<br /> In the early days of the war, Onslaught was a top Autobot cadet at [[Omnihelix Academy]], specializing in battle strategy and tactics. His skill was impressive that he was elected a field leader for the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Autobot Elite Guard]] straight out of the Academy, acting as head of the experimental new Special Ops Team, the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 33|Onslaught's ''Wings of Honor'' profile}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:EliteGuardCombaticons TheComingStorm2.jpg|left|thumb|300px|]]<br /> <br /> Onslaught and the Combaticons were assembled by [[Magnum]] and [[Sentinel Major]] to take out the various [[Decepticon Warlord|leaders]] of the new Decepticon faction, in the hopes of ending the war quickly. At Elite Guard headquarters they were introduced to one of the other recently minted units, [[Metalhawk]] and his Strike Team. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 2}}<br /> <br /> After a short exchange, Onslaught and Metalhawk brought their teams before [[Big Bang]] for their first mission together. It was a rather pedestrian assignment, lending military-grade explosives and know-how to a civilian archeological dig. The mission was primarily designed to smooth some ruffled feathers in the High Council about the Elite Guard in general. <br /> <br /> Upon arrival in [[Median]], however, events became a bit more serious. The dig had uncovered Cybertronian construction facilities that indicated an inherent dichotomy in Transformer design. Onslaught personally scoffed at the scientists' theory that this dichotomy could explain and excuse the warlike nature of the Decepticon rebels, but the more pressing find was the second part of their discovery: a spark of unprecedented power called the [[Heart of the Dragon]], allegedly housing the essence of a Transformer whose power levels went off the scale. Decepticon rogues called the [[Stormtrooper (G1)|Stormtroopers]] had learned of the Heart, and were planning a raid on Median to steal it. <br /> <br /> As the rest of the Elite Guard did their best to fortify the dilapidated city, Onslaught and Metalhawk grilled [[Flip Sides (G1)|Flipsides]] and the other dig members about the Stormtroopers and any information they had. When the attack came, Onslaught's plan took down the Stormtroopers' advance assault, [[Roadgrabber]] and his exo-shell, by hiding a pit behind an obviously weak part in the defenses as a lure. The Decepticon leader [[Rage]] and his three lieutenants managed to sweep by Metalhawk, however, forcing Onslaught's secondary team to hunt them down. The Stormtroopers split-and-run tactics were enough to keep all the Elite Guard chasing their tails long enough for Rage to grab the Heart, however. [[Terror-Tread]] and [[Cement-Head]], two massive Decepticons held in reverse, then surprised and distracted the Elite Guard long enough for Rage and the others to escape. <br /> <br /> The Elite Guard chased the Stormtroopers back to their mobile base, the [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]]. Onslaught and the others managed to make their way inside, where they were confronted by [[Brimstone (G1)|Brimstone]], the reincarnated physical form of the Heart of the Dragon. Despite his small stature, Brimstone still had the ability to decouple molecules with his plasma breath, making him a formidable foe. Onslaught led the Elite Guard in a swift but strategic advance to the rear, giving [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]] time to rig all his explosives for one massive blast. Although Brimstone was still standing after the blast, his outer casing had been damaged enough to let his internal energies rage out of control, destroying the Metrotitan in one enormous blast.<br /> <br /> Back at Elite Guard headquarters, Onslaught and Metalhawk made their field reports to Magnum. Despite the unconventional nature of the mission in some regards, Magnum congratulated his men on a job well done. They were deployed again almost immediately for a mission to [[Praxium]]. {{storylink|Flames of Yesterday}}<br /> <br /> The Special Ops Team and Strike Team worked so well as a combined unit that Magnum kept them together for several weeks. Onslaught and Metalhawk became close comrades, as did their men, sharing stories about the different warlords they brought down, such as [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] and [[Blue Bacchus]]. Onslaught was aware that Metalhawk could be squeamish about some of the darker parts of warfare, though, and so he made sure [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] and [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] had privacy during their interrogations of a Decepticon prisoner of war.<br /> <br /> Onslaught coordinated their next strike against a Decepticon faction leader named [[Shadowcaster]]. Using explosives and fog grenades, the Elite Guard carried out Onslaught's battle plan, forcing Shadowcaster out in the open for the Combaticon leader to take out with a killshot. Despite the mission's success, Onslaught felt something was amiss. Shadowcaster hardly seemed the type to lead a parade, much less a Decepticon splinter cell. Smelling a larger party at work, Onslaught kept the Combaticons out in the field while Metalhawk and the Strike Team returned to base. Onslaught's instincts were right on target, but even they couldn't keep him and his team from being captured by Warlord [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] and his troops. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 3}}<br /> <br /> After being held for some time in a cell behind unbreakable Oan force bars, Onslaught and the Combaticons were inexplicably released by the polite and apologetic [[Falcon (G1)|Falcon]] and [[Vanquish (G1)|Vanquish]]. Although wary of their intentions, Onslaught agreed to follow the Decepticons to Deathsaurus's throne room for a meeting. The silver-tongued Decepticon Warlord then proceeded to sway the Combaticons to his side. He appealed to Onslaught's pride and vanity, innocently mocking how easily the Combaticons were captured by his forces and intimating that all their greatest successes had been alongside the Strike Team, not on their own. After putting Onslaught on the defensive, Deathsaurus proclaimed how ''he'' truly believed in Onslaught's gift for tactics, and was willing to support the Combaticons in a bid to seize power for themselves. After all, how better to prove their superiority and ensure peace on Cybertron than to eliminate the Elite Guard and establish themselves in the Guard's place? Onslaught and his men gave in to their darker impulses and agreed to work alongside Deathsaurus, receiving the upgrades he promised them as well. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 4}}<br /> <br /> Sometime later, the Combaticons launched their attack on Elite Guard headquarters accompanied by some of Deathsaurus's [[Seeker (body-type)|Skyraider-Seeker Brigade]]. Onslaught chose not to reveal their trump card until the Combaticons appeared surrounded and defeated by the Guard. He then initiated their combination into the massive [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], crushing their former commanding officer Sentinel Major in one mighty hand. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 5}} Bruticus killed most of the assembled Guard before [[Dion]] was able to blind the giant, forcing the Combaticons to disengage. Onslaught reacted to Metalhawk standing in their way by simply blowing a hole through his old comrade, and the Combaticons headed back to Deathsaurus's base for repairs, but not before Onslaught promised they'd be back to deal with the Council. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 6}}<br /> <br /> During repairs, Onslaught was stunned to learn that Deathsaurus had had it rigged so that the combination into Bruticus could be triggered at Deathsaurus's will. Protesting that it wasn't part of the deal, Onslaught was nonetheless forced to form the torso of Bruticus, though the blinded giant proved difficult for Deathsaurus's Constructicons to control. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 2}} The Combaticons subsequently defended the base against Magnum and the remains of the Elite Guard. Onslaught confirmed to Magnum that Deathsaurus hadn't tampered with the Combaticons' brain modules at all, and they'd turned of their own free will. As they fought the Guard, Onslaught taunted [[Thunder Clash]] while he was grappling with [[Landshark]], much to the latter Autobot's annoyance. Finally he ordered the Combaticons to merge, only them to be blasted mid-combination. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 3}}<br /> <br /> To Onslaught's dismay, the culprits were more survivors the massacre at Elite Guard HQ. He agreed with Brawl's sentiment that they should take the opportunity to end some more Autobots and started to give the command to attempt another merge, only to find that Blast Off was inconveniently missing. When Deathsaurus called a retreat, Onslaught briefly considered staying to find Blast Off, and his hesitation allowed [[Flak (G1)|Flak]] to belt him. He and his entire team were subsequently taken captive by the Autobots. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 4}}<br /> <br /> In the hands of the compromised [[Gyronian Sentry|Gyronian Sentry Team]], the Combaticons were whisked away to Deathsaurus's fortress, now under Megatron's control. Though Megatron gave them the option, none of them cared to help Deathsaurus, and they were imprisoned and their personality components subsequently interred in the Decepticon Detention Center. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''The Transformers'' (PS2)===<br /> {{Note|Onslaught is a non-playable character.

When the button on his rotating turret is pressed, electronic lights in his head and turret flash and one hears either machine gun fire or a siren sound, either of which are continuous if held down. Rolling the vehicle's middle left tire activates a third sound effect of him causing extensive property damage on something unfortunate enough to get caught under his wheels. A looped driving sound will then be continuously played until the tire stops rolling, when a final sound of the vehicle driving away/to a halt is played. He comes with a riot shield, which can either connect to a flip up tab on Onslaught's left arm in robot mode, or store on top of his turret in either mode. The small flap at the top of the shield is used to access the turret's button, either by pressing on the flap itself, or by flipping it open and pressing the button directly. A button on Onslaught's right arm spring-deploys an arm-mounted weapon. <br /> <br /> :The robot mode [[Kibble#.22Faux-parts.22|cheats]] somewhat, having a second tow-winch on his belt-buckle immediately below his vehicle hood, while the actual vehicle mode winch splits in two to form his shoulders ([[#Notes|see below]] for more on this). The [[stock photography]] also shows him as [[:Image:Onslaughtuniversetoy.jpg|having black cannons and hands, and being slightly mis-transformed]]. <br /> <br /> :The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] version of Onslaught was released in American ''Universe'' packaging as a USA Edition toy. He is redecoed to more closely resemble the colours of the original Onslaught toy and his appearance in the ''Generation 1'' cartoon. His sparkly metallic slate-blue is replaced with swirly metallic teal, the blue paint on his arms and crotch is replaced by a dark greenish-blue, and the silver and dark silver on the sides of his face are replaced by teal. He also has slightly more paint on his face, with his mouth-plate being painted silver.<br /> <br /> :The first waves of Onslaughts gave only very brief clips of sound when the button gimmick was activated. (The siren ended up sounding like a set car alarm.)

Amusingly, Barricade has a more Onslaught-accurate colour scheme than ''Universe'' Onslaught. He was only available with ''Universe'' Bruticus Maximus giftset, and when combined with the other Combaticons, Onslaught forms the torso. Almost every Onslaught also has a paint error on the right robot knee, in that there is no paint around the hole immediately below the knee, where there ''is'' paint on the left one. This error is also evident in the box photos for the individual robot mode, but not the combined mode, curiously.<br /> <br /> :As the Bruticus Maximus multi-pack was also released under the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' banner, this toy is identical to ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Onslaught (ROTF)|Onslaught]], including the paint error.

He also has a &quot;Prime Mode&quot; where he becomes the torso of a super robot, capable of using any auto-transforming Power Core Combiner drone-machine molds for limbs.<br /> <br /> : He comes with four color-coordinated military vehicle drone-limbs, redecos of the [[Combaticon (PCC)|Combaticon]]s. Each one has a square socket for a Power Core Combiner connection; when attached via the blue plugs on a Commander figure, the vehicles automatically transform into a super-robot limb, and snaps back to vehicle mode when disconnected. Despite the universal connector, each drone can only form one limb type (but can be swapped from left to right):<br /> <br /> :* 1: '''Morser Drone''' [Missile Carrier Drone] — Arm (Combatmaster's right)<br /> :* 2: '''Panzer Drone''' [Tank Drone] — Arm (Combatmaster's left)<br /> :* 3: '''Kannonier Drone''' [APC Drone] — Leg (Combatmaster's right)<br /> :* 4: '''Spaher Drone''' [Armored Car Drone] — Leg (Combatmaster's left)<br /> <br /> : Combatmaster's mold was also used to make [[Steelshot]]. The drone-limb molds were also used to make components for two other Power Core Combiner teams: the Missile Carrier Drone and Armored Car Drone molds were used for the [[Destron (PCC)|Destrons]], while the APC Drone and Tank Drone molds were used for the [[Protectobot (PCC)|Protectobots]].<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Transformers===<br /> *'''Bruticus''' (2012)<br /> <br /> :Released exclusively in Hasbro's Asian markets, this redeco of the ''Energon'' Bruticus Maximus set has colours similar to the previous ''Universe'' (2008)/''Revenge of the Fallen'' release, but with a much greater emphasis on G1-accuracy. Onslaught's colour scheme is perhaps the most different from the previous release, being very similar to his Generation 1 toy in robot mode, but is almost completely grey when transformed into Bruticus' torso, to reflect the large grey chest plate on the original Bruticus toy. Additionally, Bruticus' hands/feet/weapons, which were previously cast in translucent coloured plastic are now opaque grey.<br /> <br /> {{comingsoontoy}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> [[Image:Onslaughtmodelsheetshood.jpg|right|160px|thumb|Onslaught's early, unused character model (left) is more toy-accurate, if you ignore a heck of a lot.]]<br /> * Onslaught's ability to combine with Metroplex is due to the fact that both were originally designed as part of the [[Diaclone]] line, where both were presumably part of the same faction. Neither were ever released under the Diaclone brand, as it had long since been overtaken by the Transformers.<br /> * Like the rest of the Combaticons, Onslaught had an earlier, unused [[character model]] which superficially resembles the toy, other than the head design. There are other problems, such as wheel placement, but it's possible the artist of the unused character model was working off crappy source material.<br /> [[Image:EuroClassicOnslaughtPurple.jpg|thumb|160px|]]<br /> * When the unused character model was redrawn into the final character model, it kept the odd wheel placement and gave Onslaught his toy's head, but did some bizarre things with his transformation. Like with many of the other Combaticons' final character models, such as Swindle's, his torso is the bumper, hood, and roof of the vehicle mode flattened out. Years later, Onslaught's Ultra class ''Universe'' toy attempted to replicate this transformation scheme.<br /> * The packaging of the 1990 European [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] release of the original Onslaught toy depicted Onslaught and the Combaticons in new color schemes—Onslaught himself was mainly purple—despite the fact that the actual toys looked identical to their original releases. While it may never be known for certain, it has been theorized that these colors originated from a packaging printing error rather than a legitimate attempt to [[redeco]] the Combaticons. <br /> [[Image:Universe Onslaught originalsculpt.jpg|right|160px|thumb|The dream is dead.]]<br /> * In the [[commercial]] advertising the Generation 2 Aerialbots and Combaticons, Onslaught is referred to as &quot;one metamorphin' dudicus&quot;. It is presently unknown what a dudicus ''is'', or what qualifications Onslaught has met to be the only known one.<br /> * As revealed on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' website,&lt;ref&gt;[http://replay.web.archive.org/20090121131445/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/universe/default.cfm?page=News/Item&amp;newsid=A795A47F-D56F-E112-48649ACADFB6ADDC Hasbro's preview of ''Universe'' Wave 1's toys]&lt;/ref&gt; ''Universe'' Ultra class Onslaught's original prototype featured a larger head that lacked a neck section, and the front section of his vehicle with a (non-functional) winch folded down to become his stomach and waist, as well as more cartoon-accurate sculpted detailing on his waist. However, on the final version of this mold, the winch remains on his shoulders while another winch is molded onto the battery cover as part of his waist.<br /> * In the Wings of Honor continuity the Combaticons are swayed to the Decepticon side by Deathsaurus appealing to their darker natures, represented by one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

He just made you parrot back what he did into the microphone.

Now, nobody was there 8 hours, but that was the allowed minimum. {{sic}} Until this guy came along and started directing Transformers, and all of a sudden, you were there 8 hours. And the way voice actors make their money is volume. As my friend [[Rob Paulsen]] is fond of saying, “Volume baby. Volume.” So even though you’re booked for four hours, if they know you’ve got a 2:00 and you’re in there at noon, they’ll get you out for 2:00 because they know you want to get on and make another session fee.
