When he enters a battlefield, he will not rest until anything and everything within sight is in smoldering ruins, including his own comrades. It will often take cries of protest from fellow Decepticons to &quot;point the ''other'' way, you idiot!&quot; to remind him to pick his targets more selectively. This, he claims, is just part of one of his unconventional &quot;battle techniques.&quot; <br /> <br /> Quake can become so caught up in the battle frenzy that his systems can overheat and shut him down. His endurance is second-to-none, however, and he has pulled through even the most seemingly final of defeats.<br /> <br /> His [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] partners are [[Tiptop]] and [[Heater]].<br /> <br /> {{bigquote|Fundamentally attracted to, and nostalgic for, violence.|[[Froid]]'s psychological assessment of Quake|&quot;[[The World In Your Eyes Part Three]]&quot;}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Marvel Comics continuity===<br /> ====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====<br /> {{noteukonly}}<br /> [[File:UK213 Quake Grinning.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1|This is easily the most awesome he's ever looked.]]<br /> ''Quake was one of the [[Triumvirate]]'s gladiators on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and took a full [[fusion cannon]] blast from [[Straxus (G1)|Megatron]] before the latter had the Triumvirate killed and assumed control of their territory.'' {{storylink|The Fall and Rise of the Decepticon Empire.}} ''He briefly went to [[Earth]], where a fight between him and [[Joyride (G1)|Joyride]] badly injured a [[human]].'' {{storylink|Dreadwing Down!}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Crankcase battletrap quake the void.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6|Quake, with fear.]]<br /> ''He was later sent by the [[Decepticon High Council]] to Earth alongside [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]], [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]], [[Windsweeper]] and [[Flamefeather (G1)|Flamefeather]] to bring back [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] after his failed bid for 'Con leadership. Thunderwing was unwilling to return, though, and when he punched out Ruckus, Quake made the mistake of shooting at him, for which he was grabbed by the barrel and used as a club to beat up the others.'' {{storylink|Rage!}} ''Afterwards, Thunderwing had his new team make a suicide attack on the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], but thankfully Ruckus convinced him that a good leader knows when to retreat.'' {{storylink|Assault on the Ark!}}<br /> <br /> On Cybertron, Quake became part of the Transformer race's united defense against [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} When the Chaos-Bringer arrived, Quake attacked Unicron's foot alongside the Autobots Joyride and [[Waverider]]. Their combined firepower was enough to make Unicron go &quot;Ouch&quot;, but a devastating optic beam scattered the attackers. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} Despite the blast, Quake survived Unicron's assault and was present when [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] expired after the war was over. {{storylink|Still Life!}} He also attended the summit meeting between the Autobots and Decepticons, as the two factions tried to maintain peace. Like many Decepticons, though, Quake had trouble with the concept. Getting along with Autobots like [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Wheeljack]] was tough enough, but he also treated their human &quot;[[Neo-Knights|comrades]]&quot; like so much luggage (though, to be fair, they ''were'' boxed up in a crate). {{storylink|Exodus!}} <br /> <br /> Few Decepticons had to have been happier than Quake when their new leader, [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], ended the alliance, stranding the Autobots on Cybertron while the Decepticons went marauding on the planet [[Klo]]. Quake relished in the devastation the Decepticons caused on that world. {{storylink|The Last Autobot?}} When the Autobots eventually arrived, they were ambushed and beaten almost to the last man. Quake joined a 'Con patrol hunting down the last five Autobots left alive, during which time he blasted [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] from behind. As he was not seen afterwards (yet Blaster ''was''—nice shot there, Quake), he probably didn't fare too well against [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] and the other ambushed Autobots. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}<br /> <br /> =====Trigger-Happy!=====<br /> Following a botched sting operation, [[Backstreet (G1)|Backstreet]] went on the run from his fellow Autobots, frightened over the consequences in store for him for his failure. Seeing an opportunity to turn one of Optimus's soldiers to his side, [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] had [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] and Quake accompany him in tracking down the wayward Autobot. They trailed Backstreet to an abandoned amusement park, where Megatron instructed his soldiers to wait at a distance while he made his recruitment pitch. Listening in, Quake became so engrossed that he failed to notice Optimus Prime barreling towards him. He wound up getting knocked aside by the Autobot leader, who proceeded to rescue his soldier and return him home. {{storylink|Trigger-Happy!}}<br /> <br /> ====''Transformers Comic-Magazin''====<br /> Quake was present when Megatron made peaceful gestures to Humanity in [[New York City]]; and the Decepticons gave a &quot;statue&quot; of [[Snaptrap (G1)|Snaptrap]] as a gift to the city. Unsurprisingly, once Humanity was off-guard, the Decepticons struck, and the Autobots barely stopped them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 4#Transformers in Action: The Troy Principle|The Troy Principle}} Those events were recorded on a videotape that was later found and watched by Autobots on Cybertron after a [[City of Fear!|nuclear disaster]] in [[Kalis]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 21|In Memory of Earth}}<br /> <br /> The characteristics of Quake and the other &quot;Small Targetmaster Decepticons&quot; were reviewed by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]] in a simulation watched by [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 15|Memories of Bumblebee}}<br /> <br /> ====Another Time &amp; Place====<br /> Quake was among the Decepticon warriors who attacked [[Hydrus Four]] with Bludgeon, assuming control of the [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] production facility in the hopes of reviving Megatron. They captured the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] easily enough and Quake guarded them, prodding them with an [[electro mace]] whether they stepped out of line or not, but a full Autobot task force soon followed and the Decepticons were overwhelmed and defeated. {{storylink|Another Time &amp; Place}}<br /> <br /> ====Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic====<br /> [[File:Quakeg1.jpg|upright=1|thumb|&quot;No, no, hit the ones with the red faces painted on them! The purple faces are your friends!&quot;]]<br /> Miraculously alive and well, Quake was serving on the bridge of the new [[Warworld]] Bludgeon had constructed for raiding other ships in space and stocking up on resources. {{storylink|Primal Fear!|Old Evils}} He was one of countless Decepticons under Bludgeon's command when they fought the Autobots over ownership of a cache of weapons on an unnamed barren world. The Decepticons were easily overpowering the Autobots, but Bludgeon ordered a retreat when the gigantic, [[Guardian (G2)|monstrous creature]] that guarded their quarry warned them away. {{storylink|Ghosts}} Quake was later part of a raiding party which landed on Earth, and enjoyed spreading chaos and destruction among the humans. {{storylink|Devices and Desires! (Marvel)|Tales of Earth Part One}} Like most of Bludgeon's Decepticons, however, he was quickly cowed when Megatron returned and killed Bludgeon, forcing the Decepticons back under his command. {{storylink|The Power and the Glory|Tales of Earth Part Two}}<br /> <br /> During a [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian]] attack on the Warworld, Quake was destroyed. Again. {{storylink|New Dawn}}<br /> <br /> ===3H comics===<br /> [[File:Quakevehicon.jpg|thumb|left|Rule 193 of villainy: Don't taunt the tiny kitty.]]<br /> With the emergence of the [[Wreckers]], [[Mutant (BW)|Mutants]], and [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobots]] on Vehicon-controlled [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] needed more [[Vehicon General]]s to counter the insurgents. He picked the sparks of Quake and [[Blastcharge (BM)|Blastcharge]], who served Megatron's [[Megatron (G1)|namesake]] well, and put them in new Vehicon bodies and gave them [[Blastcharge's drones|experimental]] [[Quake's drones|drones]] to command.<br /> <br /> Quake and Blastcharge followed [[Primal Prime]]'s group to the lair of the recluse spider [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], but got there too late to catch up with the main force. Blastcharge shot [[Fractyl]], who had stayed behind to talk to Arcee. Quake rumbled that the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] was only worth five points for being &quot;a half-pint loser&quot; rather than the ten Blastcharge claimed, leaving two drones to clean up the mess as they went to hunt down the other Wreckers.<br /> <br /> The two arrived at the Wreckers' destination, a shuttle hangar, right in the middle of a battle between the small force and a horde of drones led by [[Spy Streak]]. Quake was not impressed with many of the Maximals' small size, and chose to taunt the relatively tiny [[Tigatron]]. This was a mistake. Tigatron opened his chest, and with the awesome elemental powers of the [[Vok]], Quake was destroyed. (Anybody else sensing a trend here?) {{storylink|Departure}}<br /> <br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===<br /> In the early days of Optimus Prime's reign as Prime, Quake participated in the Decepticon assault on the [[Decagon]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 4|The War Within #4}}<br /> <br /> Quake became a member of [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s faction of [[Ultracon]]s during the Dark Ages. He was present at the near-signing of the tri-faction peace treaty, and engaged the [[Predacon (War Within)|Predacons]] in battle alongside many other Autobots and Decepticons after the bombing. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath}}<br /> <br /> ===2005 IDW continuity===<br /> {{first|[[Stormbringer issue 4|''Stormbringer'' #4]]}}<br /> [[File:AllHisEngines Quakedies.jpg|upright=1|thumb|Quake died. Must be a Tuesday.]]<br /> Quake served with [[Headstrong (G1)|Headstrong]]'s ground troops on board the Decepticon starship ''[[Thanatos]]'', under the overall command of [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]]. They joined the Autobot [[Wreckers]] in confronting [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] on Cybertron. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}<br /> <br /> After the fall of [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]], what remained of the Decepticon hierarchy retreated to a burnt-out husk of a planet. Quake and Razorclaw were among the nearly 100 Decepticons present, possibly having arrived with the rest of the crew of the ''Thanatos''. As the mood in the camp descended into cannibalistic survivalism, Quake turned against the Decepticon leaders and attempted to assassinate [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]. His efforts failed thanks to the &quot;[[cerebro-shell]]&quot; unit [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] constructed; Starscream shouted at him to die, and he did. {{storylink|All His Engines}}<br /> <br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===2019 IDW continuity===<br /> {{first|[[The World In Your Eyes Part Three|''Transformers'' #3]]}}<br /> <br /> [[File:TheWorldInYourEyesPartThree-ThreefoldSparkWar.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.55]]<br /> <br /> Quake served under [[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]] during the [[War of the Threefold Spark]]. {{storylink|Escape Part Three}} He helped rescue a wounded [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] in the final battle of the war. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part One}} A berserker by nature, Quake developed an addiction to violence during the war and proved unable to readjust to peacetime. Although [[Froid]] tried to treat him, the psychiatrist was unable to curb his appetite for destruction and eventually wrote him off as one of his four substantial failures, though Froid also held the opinion that limiting Quake's access to his only legitimate medium of self-expression was a poor decision. By the era just before the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], Quake still hadn't reintegrated into society, and his warlike personality led him into [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s burgeoning [[Decepticon|Ascenticon]] movement. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Three}}<br /> <br /> At some point, Quake posed in a group photo with many Cybertronians, including [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]]. {{storylink|Open Comms}}<br /> <br /> [[File:TheWorldInYourEyesPart5-Quake.jpg|thumb|200px|Thank you, [[Brian Ruckley|Ruckley]], for letting me actually do something!]]<br /> Secretly, however, Quake was ''also'' part of [[The Rise]], the radical splinter cell led by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and deliberately cultivated by Megatron to effect change in Cybertronian society. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Five}} Following a staged attack on one of Megatron's Ascenticon rallies just after [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]]'s murder, supposedly at the hands of the Ascenticons, Quake was one of the four initial Ascenticons recruited into Megatron's new [[Ascenticon Guard]]—a development that caused no small amount of concern for the Autobots, who were already aware of Quake's notorious reputation. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Three}}<br /> <br /> Eventually, the Ascenticon sympathizer [[Barricade (IDW)|Barricade]] learned the whereabouts of a [[Voin]] trader who had supposedly been privy to Brainstorm's killing, and passed this information along to [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]; once Soundwave relayed the news to Shockwave, he sent Quake to Iacon's [[Xeno-Quarter]] to silence the loose end before [[Security Operations]] got to the Voin first. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Five}} Quake easily killed his target, but then spied [[Rubble]], who had followed the Voin out of curiosity. Quake assumed that the newborn was a spy, chased him through the Xeno-Quarter, and easily killed him. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Five}}<br /> <br /> As a result of his reckless behavior, Shockwave had Quake kept on a tight leash for some time, hidden away in a secret Rise bunker with [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] under [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]'s supervision. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Swindle's|Swindle's}} Once the news came that they had to up stakes and relocate their hidden base, Quake and some other &quot;problematic&quot; members of The Rise were loaded aboard [[Roughstuff]]'s trailer for the move until a sudden ground quake upended their transport. To make matters worse, the sociopathic [[Triggerhappy (G1)|Triggerhappy]] then shot Roughstuff for no reason, leaving the group stranded in the wilderness. They were inadvertently discovered by a team of geologists, who recognized the wanted Quake and called in Security. [[Firestar (G1)|Novastar]]'s quick-response strike team soon arrived to save the geologists from the Risers, with Quake transforming to tank mode and shooting down [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] in the ensuing melee. He then fell for [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]]'s decoy tactics and wound up ensnared in a paralyzing net by Novastar. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Tremors|Tremors}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Prisoners BumblebeeQuake.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|left|Still his meatiest role to date.]]<br /> Sixshot's arrival changed the tide of battle and Quake was freed by Frenzy and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]]. However, Quake soon found himself attacked by the massive [[Leviathan (G1)|Leviathan]], who picked him up and smashed him into the ground. He managed to shoot out her knee with his tank cannon, but she toppled onto Quake, pinning him under her gargantuan form. Sixshot decided to cut losses and retreated with Rumble and Frenzy, leaving Quake to be taken into custody by Security. [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] wanted to make a spectacle of Quake's capture and had Security parade him out in public in front of the unruly masses.<br /> <br /> [[Flywheels|Skytread]] seeded the crowd with Ascenticon sympathizers, and upon receiving Soundwave's decree that Quake could not enter [[Senate]] custody, had them start a riot to cover for Quake's escape. Still manacled, Quake leaped from the hovering platform he was being transported on into the crowd, muscling his way to freedom down a side alley. He encountered a Voin asserter and its slaved simian enforcers, seeking vengeance for Quake's earlier murder of one of their kind. Quake managed to trick the attacking organics into breaking his manacles, losing a hand in the process. He then brutally slaughtered the Voin and its enforcers, but not without incurring severe damage. [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] arrived in the alley in time to see Quake slowly shifting to his tank mode in an attempt to escape. Fearing that Quake would again escape justice for Rubble's murder, Bumblebee seized one of the Voin's fallen swords and drove it straight through the back of Quake's neck as he was transforming. Bumblebee then wrenched Quake's head and entire [[spark]] chamber clean out of his body, killing him. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Prisoners|Prisoners}} <br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers: Bumblebee Overdrive''===<br /> [[File:BBOQuake.jpg|thumb|100px]]<br /> Quake was in command of the second Decepticon base attacked and destroyed by the Autobots during a series of raids. He pursued the invader in tank mode launching several bombs against his target, but foolishly ran over his own bombs and ended blowing himself up. {{storylink|Transformers: Bumblebee Overdrive}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers Roleplaying Game''===<br /> Quake was a heavily-armed Decepticon berserker who joined the Decepticons to get back at everyone who'd wronged him. {{storylink|Decepticon Directive}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===''The Transformers''===<br /> {{anchor|Generation 1}}[[File:G1-toy Quake.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Ready to shake, rattle and—oh wait, never mind.]]<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;{{Bp-d1|'''Quake''' (Targetmaster, [[1988]])}}&lt;/ul&gt;<br /> :*''Accessories'': cannon<br /> {{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}<br /> <br /> : ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Quake transforms into a Leopard 2 Main Battle Tank equipped with a [[plasma cannon]].

Although his tank treads are merely molded detail, he possesses a set of hidden wheels underneath the front of his vehicle mode and in his rear tank treads that allow him to roll. In robot mode, he can either mount his non-firing turret on his shoulder (as pictured) or carry it in his hand, though due to its size it can make the figure somewhat unstable. His rifle—which, interestingly, seems to be generally modeled after a real-life [[wikipedia:Heckler &amp; Koch G36|Heckler &amp; Koch G36C]] subcarabine—an also be carried, mounted on his shoulder, or plugged in on top of the larger gun.<br /> <br /> :Quake comes with his [[Titan Master]] partner [[Chasm#Titans Return|Chasm]] (retooled from [[Duros#Titans Return|Furos]]), who fits into his vehicle mode cockpit and transforms into his robot mode head. As with other ''Titans Return'' toys, Quake can accommodate any Titan Master figure in both robot and vehicle mode. Due to the placement of the socket for Titan Masters to attach, Quake can be fully transformed into vehicle mode without removing his head. His head socket is a bit on the tight side; turning Chasm's head 180° before inserting him will make for a smoother fit. However, this should be done with caution, as grooves in the neck port can scratch the paint off of Chasm's face with repeated use.<br /> <br /> :In addition to the cockpit, Quake's turret can be opened to reveal a seat that allows any Titan Master figure to man it in both modes, with the cover also featuring a pair of angled pegs for a Titan Master to (somewhat insecurely) peg onto. Quake additionally sports four pegs on his treads that allow Titan Master figures to attach to his vehicle mode. (The rifle also has a small port that lets you store it on any of these pegs.) All this means that, not counting the neck socket, Quake's vehicle mode can accommodate a grand total of ''six'' extra Titan Masters at once.<br /> <br /> ::*''[http://www.transformers-universe.com/i.php?ID=6765 More information on Quake at Transformers-Universe.com]''<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===''Legacy''===<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-Quake.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|The Great Quake of 2024]]<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;{{Bp-d1|'''G1 Universe Quake, G1 Universe Heater, G1 Universe Tiptop''' (Deluxe Class, [[2024]])}}&lt;/ul&gt;<br /> :*''TakaraTomy name:'' '''Quake &amp; Heater &amp; Tiptop''' (クエイク&amp;ヒーター&amp;ティップトップ)<br /> :*''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''TL-82'''<br /> :*''TakaraTomy release date:'' [[2025]] [[January 25]]<br /> :*''Accessories'': Tank turret<br /> {{toydesigner|[[Tomoki Tatsumi]] (TakaraTomy), [[Mark Maher]] (Targetmasters, Hasbro)}}&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.instagram.com/p/C8GM1yKslnY/ Design notes] on ''Legacy'' Quake from [[Hasbro]] designer [[Mark Maher]] on Instagram&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> :Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy#United|Legacy: United]]'' Deluxe Class toys, &quot;G1 Universe Quake&quot; is a ''heavy'' retool of ''Legacy'' [[Skullgrin#Legacy|Skullgrin]], only retaining the forearms, hands, back, feet, and shoulder, ankle, and elbow joints, and transforming into a tank in 24 steps.

<p>JasperisJinxed: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Departed memorial anomie.jpg|thumb|upright=2|More than anything, these lost souls are proof...that all the good names really are taken.]]<br /> '''The Disappeared''' are a collection of [[Transformer]]s that—as their name implies—disappeared from the [[Great War (G1)|war]] at various points throughout its history. <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===2005 IDW continuity===<br /> Having become obsessed with chronicling the death of every single Cybertronian following the loss of his friend [[Tusk]], the former forensic pathologist [[Mortilus|Censere]] erected a Memorial to the Disappeared on the [[Necroworld]] alongside statues of the Transformers whose fates he was able to record. When the crew of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' investigated the rumours of the &quot;Necrobot&quot;, [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] met with Censere and discovered that he was listed amongst the Disappeared thanks to having been pulled into the [[Dead Universe]] after his death at the hands of [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]]. Nightbeat then took [[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Chromedome]] and [[Rewind (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rewind]] to the Memorial to show them that [[Dominus Ambus]] was also named there. Afterwards, Nightbeat took Censere to task over his obsession and suggested that he try to look after the living instead of recording the dead. {{storylink|The Not Knowing}}<br /> <br /> Censere took Nightbeat's words seriously, and upon discovering a [[time case]] left by [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] near his own statue, connected it to his teleport chamber and attempted to rescue all of the Disappeared. Ironically, his actions ultimately created many of the Disappeared thanks to their unexplained departures from their own times. The [[time travel]] often left them weak and disoriented so Censere kept them in stasis, disguised as organic life to hide them from unwanted attention. Unfortunately his actions did not go unnoticed and the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] arrived, presumably looking for some of the missing 'bots from [[The List|their own list]].

After reading Censere's journal, Rewind explained to [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]] that thanks to the D.J.D. around half of the names on the Memorial of the Disappeared would remain unaccounted for. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 6: Do Not Go Gentle|Do Not Go Gentle}}<br /> <br /> When more of the Disappeared began to wake up, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]] held a 819 slide presentation to brief them on when and where they were as well as recent events. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 1: Some Other Cybertron|Some Other Cybertron}}<br /> <br /> After [[Team Rodimus]] had left [[Necroworld]], {{storylink|After Megatron (A Dissolution Epilogue)|After Megatron}} the Decepticon members of the Disappeared murdered their Autobot counterparts and took over the planet.

A terrifying sight on the battlefield, Bruticus is among the strongest of all Transformers. He can pulverize a suspension bridge with a single 14,000 psi punch. He can lift up to 500,000 pounds. His armor is impervious to most artillery and radiation.<br /> <br /> He's also as dumb as a sack of hammers.

Anticipating [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s expected moves, he waited for his former leader to order the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] to merge into [[Devastator (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|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 (G1)|Stunticons]] arrived and formed [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], who launched an attack from behind, quickly subduing Bruticus. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Bruticus cartoon.jpg|thumb|&quot;Bruticus crush... Bruticus destroy human who draw Bruticus wrong!&quot;]]<br /> 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 temporarily 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 (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|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}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Revenge of bruticus 2 threratenShockwave.jpg|left|thumb|&quot;Bruticus want be drawn proper!&quot;]]<br /> 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 (G1)|Aerialbots]], 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}}<br /> <br /> 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 (G1)|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 [[orbit disruptor cannon]] was overloaded by the human-built [[B.O.T. (G1)|B.O.T.]], once again sending the Decepticon flying into the sky. {{storylink|B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Revenge of bruticus 16 brains.jpg|left|thumb|&quot;See! Bruticus head not empty!&quot;]]<br /> For some reason, in the year 2006 the Combaticons were idly hanging around as Bruticus during the Decepticon occupation of [[Paradron]]. He served as something of a comic foil for [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]], acting as straight-man while Galvatron delivered witticisms that were completely lost on the giant warrior. Also... that old line about &quot;losing your head if you weren't attached to it&quot;? Apparently, you can lose a foot even if it was attached, because [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] was manning a molecular cannon while Bruticus was in the control room with Galvatron. If you don't watch those feet, they just run right off on their own. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}}<br /> <br /> During a Decepticon invasion of Japan, Bruticus was battling Defensor near a dojo. He enraged his opponent by negligently putting the humans in danger with their combat and, once [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] arrived to back up Defensor, Bruticus split into the individual Combaticons and fled. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}<br /> <br /> Invading [[Gregory Swofford|Swofford]] and [[Mark Morgan|Morgan]]'s lab, Bruticus was the first Decepticon infected by the [[Hate Plague]]. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ====Japanese cartoon continuity====<br /> =====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' story pages=====<br /> Bruticus and Menasor were defeated in battle with Defensor and the Aerialbots. {{storylink|Fight!

Several Decepticons under the command of Starscream were dispatched to attack the secret construction site, but were defeated by the Aerialbots. Due to Starscream'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: Mobilization}}<br /> <br /> =====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Michitaka Kobayashi]] (Japanese), [[Ryōichi Tanaka]] (Japanese, ep 13)}}<br /> <br /> [[File:HeadOn RaidenVsBruticus.JPG|left|thumb|&quot;Bruticus duel with light... poles.&quot;]]<br /> Bruticus joined up with several other Decepticon combiners during a Decepticon assault on Cybertron, {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} but they were all driven away by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} When the Combaticons were sent out to stop [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] from finding the [[Matrix of Leadership]], they clashed with the Protectobots again. Both teams combined, but Defensor eventually blasted the mountain behind Bruticus, who was buried in the ensuing rockfall. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}} While defending [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] against intruders, the Combaticons formed Bruticus to fight back against the incoming [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}<br /> <br /> Bruticus scuffled with Defensor yet again during a new attack on Cybertron, {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} but was defeated by a flying punch to the neck. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}} Next up, Bruticus was set with ambushing any Autobots who came to stop [[buridanka|a giant carnivorous plant]] planted by the Decepticons in [[San Francisco]]. When the [[Trainbot]]s arrived, Bruticus and [[Raiden]] did battle with energy swords. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}} <br /> <br /> [[File:Hm35 Bruticus holding Computron.jpg|thumb]]<br /> Bruticus was formed by the Combaticons as part of Sixshot's major strike on Earth. He attacked an Autobot outpost as four other outposts were being assaulted simultaneously by the other Decepticons. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}<br /> <br /> On the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], Bruticus later helped a group of Decepticons lead Fortress Maximus away from their base. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} Later, back on Earth, he stood by and laughed as [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] sank the luxury liner ''[[Queen World]]'' off the coast of Lisbon, Portugal. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} Bruticus participated in the large-scale battle with the Autobots at the North Pole, and held down [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] so [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] could kick him. When [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'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)}}<br /> <br /> =====''Zone'' cartoon=====<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Yukimasa Kishino]] (Japanese)}}<br /> <br /> Over fifteen years later, after several more Decepticon leaders had come and gone, the faction came under the rulership of the supernatural entity [[Violengiguar]]. This mysterious creature's first action was to recruit a team of [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] from Decepticon history; Bruticus was enlisted as his &quot;Flame General&quot; and outfitted with new armor and weaponry to make him even more powerful than before. Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], Violengiguar sent his generals forth to conquer planets. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} Bruticus was the first to encounter the [[Autobot]]s when he attacked the planet [[Feminia]]. He was defeated by the combined might of the [[Rescue Patrol Team]], [[Super Car Patrol Team]], [[Battle Patrol|Battle Patrol Team]], [[Galaxy Rocket]] and [[Moonradar (G1)|Moonradar]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 2}}<br /> <br /> The Generals later schooled [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]] and the [[Metrosquad]] in the ways of evil, making them more than formidable foes for the Powered Masters. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 7}}<br /> <br /> Bruticus did little with the new power Violengiguar gave him; while he joined Abominus, Menasor, and Overlord on a raid for [[Energon Z]] on planet [[Micro|Zone]], he was not seen to engage in battle at any time. His comrades waded through the barrage of firepower unleashed by Zone Base, fending off attacks by the Micromasters, and tore the Energon Z power core out of the base. Bruticus then joined his comrades in escaping with their prize, which they handed off to the other generals to take to Earth as they searched for the Zodiac there. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}<br /> <br /> =====''Legends'' comic=====<br /> When the [[Cybertron Alliance]] fell apart due to the [[human]]s murdering [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s [[Kiloton|friend]], Bruticus answered Megatron's call for war. {{Storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Metroplex)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}<br /> <br /> =====''Generations Selects Special Comic''=====<br /> In [[2050]], Bruticus and the Decepticons joined the revolution of the [[Selector]]s against their human masters. The [[Quintesson]]s and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s sided with the humans, and [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] attacked all while craving Angolmois Energy. In battle with a scrambled version of [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], Abominus crashed into Bruticus and Menasor and stole some of their limb components to make an even stronger version of himself. {{storylink|Abominus comic 2}}<br /> <br /> ====''TV Magazine'' comic continuity====<br /> =====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' comic=====<br /> When Superion and Defensor teamed up to take on Menasor as he was attacking a baseball stadium, Bruticus stepped in to aid his fellow Decepticon combiner. After a short skirmish, the Decepticons seemed assured a victory, until Bruticus got his legs knocked off. [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] and [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] then latched onto the stumps and blasted Bruticus away, dumping him in the Pacific Ocean, far away from Japan. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 5|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #5}}<br /> <br /> The Combaticons pursued a dog imbued with Decepticon super-science until [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] interfered. They combined into Bruticus as a unit of Autobot [[Mini Vehicle|Minibots]] came to aid Powerglide, but the dog granted the awesome energy within it to Powerglide, allowing him to [[Minibot combiner|combine with the other Autobots]] and blow Bruticus away. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 8|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #8}}<br /> <br /> =====''The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers''=====<br /> In the year [[2010]], Bruticus participated in a Decepticon attack on the planet Feminia, battling alongside Devastator and Menasor against their Autobot counterparts Superion, Defensor and Omega Supreme. The fight was fairly evenly matched until Galvatron called up his ace-in-the-hole, [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], whose power was unmatched by any of the Autobots... except for the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]], who essentially tied Predaking's shoelaces together until he fell over, straight into Bruticus and his chums, sending them all toppling to the ground and knocking them to bits.{{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}<br /> <br /> =====''The Great Transformer War''=====<br /> After tearing Superion into his component Aerialbots, the Combaticons merged into Bruticus and joined Menasor in defending [[Trypticon (G1)|Dinobase]] against incursion by the Protectobots. While his men kept the pair busy, [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] used his repair bay mode to fix up the injured Aerialbots, who then blinded the giants with their dazzling &quot;Scramble Shot&quot; fly-by attack. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}}<br /> <br /> =====''Zone'' comic=====<br /> [[File:BruticusZone1.jpg|thumb|&quot;Bruticus finally drawn right... with fire.&quot;]]<br /> The Decepticons came under the rulership of the supernatural entity [[Violengiguar]]. This mysterious creature's first action was to recruit a team of [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] from Decepticon history; Bruticus was enlisted as his &quot;Flame General&quot; and outfitted with new armor and weaponry to make him even more powerful than before. Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], Violengiguar sent his generals forth to conquer planets. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} Bruticus was the first to encounter the [[Autobot]]s when he attacked the planet [[Feminia]]. He was defeated by the combined might of the [[Rescue Patrol Team]], [[Super Car Patrol Team]], [[Battle Patrol|Battle Patrol Team]], [[Galaxy Rocket]] and [[Moonradar (G1)|Moonradar]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 2}}<br /> <br /> The Generals later schooled [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]] and the [[Metrosquad]] in the ways of evil, making them more than formidable foes for the Powered Masters. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 7}}<br /> <br /> The [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] united to attack planet Feminia, destroying it utterly. Violengiguar next charged his Generals with collecting [[Energon Z]] and the all-powerful [[Zodiac]], which he intended to use to fuel his conquest. Bruticus, together with [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]], [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], and [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], attacked planet Zone; striking quickly, they stole the Energon Z before the local [[Micromaster]] teams could even muster a defense. As they gloated over their success, the tiny Autobots transformed [[Zone Base]] to try and mount a counterattack, and the generals fled with their prize. {{storylink|Fight!

Although his early experiments were discontinued thanks to the [[Elite Guard|Autobot Elite Guard]], he remained interested in the idea, and eventually found the perfect means to implement it. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 36|Bruticus's profile in Club magazine #36}}<br /> <br /> When the Combaticons were swayed to joining forces with Deathsaurus they received various upgrades. They demonstrated the most potent of these upgrades when they were surrounded by their former comrades in the Elite Guard and combined into Bruticus. The combiner then proceeded to crush their former commanding officer Sentinel Major with one mighty hand. This prompted the other Elite Guardsmen to attack in search of vengeance. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 5}}<br /> <br /> Tragically for the Guard, Bruticus proved to be virtually unstoppable and easily wiped out several of the Elite Guard teams before [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]]'s Strike Team arrived. Despite the heroic efforts of [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]] and [[Over-Run (G1)|Over-Run]], Bruticus quickly slew them before [[Dion (G1)|Dion]] managed to blind the mighty combiner and force him to separate. This forced the Combaticons to retreat, but not before killing Metalhawk as well. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 6}}<br /> <br /> The Combaticons underwent repairs at Deathsaurus's base, but shocked to learn that the repairs included a remote activation for their combination into Bruticus. The combiner, confused and still blinded from his battle, lashed out at the Constructicons repairing him, and they were forced to use the override they'd fitted to stop the giant in his tracks. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 1}} {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 2}} During the battle to defend the base against the Elite Guard, the Combaticons again attempted to form Bruticus, only to be promptly blasted. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 3}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===<br /> {{noteukonly}}<br /> [[File:Bruticus-ukcard.jpg|upright=0.95|thumb|&quot;Where Bruticus helmet go?&quot;]]<br /> ''In a [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced vision, [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] saw the future, where Autobot and Decepticon [[Special Teams]] battled over the [[Pullen Power Plant]].

Confronted by Optimus Prime and the Protectobots, Megatron attempted to prove the superiority of his forces by ordering them to combine into... Bruticus! His gloating was cut short, however, when the Protectobots demonstrated the equally impressive ability to combine into... [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]! Fortunately for all sides, the fleshling [[Ethan Zachary]] arrived with a solution that didn't involve Bruticus and Defensor going at it until the entire complex (and the hydrothermocline) was annihilated. {{storylink|Afterdeath!}} ''These events were observed by the [[time travel]]ling [[Dicet Alpha-zero]].'' {{storylink|The Quest!}}<br /> <br /> The Combaticons formed Bruticus in a northern [[California]] railyard to battle the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], who subsequently formed [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. The two soon battled to a standstill, as Bruticus's 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 (G1)|Blaster]], who claimed to have left the [[Autobot]]s, and seemingly killed [[Sammy Wainwright|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 (issue)|Child's Play}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===The Special Teams===<br /> Upon the Combaticons’ creation, Bruticus was imbued with Starscream's violent, criminal personality.

Bruticus was then urged by Menasor to aid him in taking down Defensor before the Aerialbots got a chance to merge into their combined formed as well. The opening was lost as the Aerialbots combined immediately, and stood next to Defensor, ready to take on their opponents. Bruticus took on Defensor while Menasor squared off against Superion. Bruticus was defeated by Defensor when he become momentarily distracted by Menasor mid-battle. {{storylink|The Special Teams}}<br /> <br /> ===Toy pack-in material===<br /> Bruticus participated in a tumultuous battle on a moon base.

A fusion of human and Cybertronian technology, Bruticus had no mind of his own, and was made only to follow his creators' orders. {{storylink|Wolves}} Later, when the combined forces of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] and the Autobots were moving against [[Cobra]], Destro betrayed Starscream and activated Bruticus, ordering him to destroy everyone. Screaming that he hated everything and that he only wanted to &quot;sleep again&quot;, Bruticus went on a wild rampage and caused an avalanche. As the giant swept aside any Autobot resistance, [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] deduced that Bruticus was an artificial creation and wasn't really &quot;alive&quot; like the other Transformers. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] saw only one way to stop him—destroying the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that was connected to the lifeforce of all Transformers.

After getting the [[Enigma of Combination]] from [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], the Combaticons merged into the gestalt but were unable to properly form a combined mind due to Swindle. The combiner almost mindlessly rampaged throughout Iacon, constantly muttering that everything must burn. Vortex reveled in the power that they wielded as Bruticus, Brawl was wallowing in pain after feeling Swindle's death, Blast Off struggled to keep them all together, and Onslaught dug through Swindle's memories. As Bruticus rampaged, [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] and his security forces were called in put him down, while [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] tried to reason with Bruticus to coax out the information they had on Starscream. Bruticus promptly backhanded Windblade out of the sky and when he was about to blast Chromia, Ironhide shot a rocket at his head, blowing it to pieces and sending the Combaticons back to their components. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}<br /> <br /> Later, when the [[Mistress of Flame]] wanted [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] released to Camien custody, she suggested Swindle or [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] could be handed over instead to face justice for their crimes. Wanting to keep Menasor and Bruticus on his side, Starscream opted to release Chromia. {{storylink|Heavy}} To bring Bruticus under control, Starscream had the [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Eukarian]] [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgeon]] [[Airachnid (G1)|Airachnid]] try to manipulate the Combaticons' minds so that Bruticus would be loyal only to him. Because the Combaticons minds had imprinted on each other during their combination, Airachnid found them more susceptible to the process, and thus had them believe that they had always been working for Starscream, using the inside man Blast Off to cover any holes in the story. As a result, the Combaticons came to believe that their forming of Bruticus had been a last-ditch attempt to save Swindle's life with Starscream's approval. {{storylink|The Price of You}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Prime Wars Trilogy'' marketing material===<br /> [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] created Bruticus. {{storylink|Shockwave (G1)/toys#CombinerWars|Combiner Wars Shockwave toy bio}}<br /> <br /> ===''Win If You Dare''===<br /> {{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Transformers: Bumblebee - Win If You Dare|Win If You Dare}}}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers/Ghostbusters''===<br /> Bruticus was among the many Decepticons who unsuccessfully tried to defend Cybertron from [[Gozer]]. {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 2}}<br /> <br /> ==Commercial appearances==<br /> [[File:TF-G1-Commercial-Combaticon-Bruticus.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb]]<br /> * The Combaticons formed Bruticus in order to take on [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]].

While Onslaught forms the torso, the remaining team members can serve as any of the four limbs, though the official configuration has Vortex as the left arm, Blast Off as the right arm, Brawl as the left leg, and Swindle as the right leg. The individual weapons the Combaticons have can be combined into a &quot;Sonic Cannon&quot; for Bruticus to wield via [[5 mm post]].<br /> <br /> : Like the original releases of the mold, this Bruticus also possessed some balance issues. This is mostly caused by having all of the Combaticons being Deluxes, Onslaught included. Although the 4 limb Combaticons can assume either an arm or foot position, certain members fare very poorly in certain modes, such as Brawl as an arm or Blast Off as a leg, which creates further balancing problems for Bruticus.<br /> <br /> : Preorders for the set began on [[July 6]] of 2012 via Amazon (BigBadToyStore would not put up theirs until much later), and the final product was shipped out in early/mid-November.

This set was also available at normal retail in Australia. <br /> <br /> : These molds were [[retool]]ed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Ruination (FOC)#Toys|Ruination]].<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Universe'' (2008)===<br /> [[File:Universe-ROTF-toy BruticusMaximus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|&quot;Why Bruticus no have hands?&quot;]]<br /> *'''Bruticus Maximus''' ([[2008]])<br /> **''Series:'' '''G1 Series'''<br /> <br /> :''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Bruticus, now named &quot;Bruticus Maximus&quot; (presumably for [[trademark]] reasons), is a redeco of the [[Destruction Team]]/[[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus Maximus]] combiner from ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]''. While [[Brawl (G1)#Universe (2008)|Brawl]] and [[Vortex (G1)#Universe (2008)|Vortex]] retain their previous modes of tank and helicopter respectively, [[Blast Off (G1)#Universe (2008)|Blast Off]] is now the combiner's second tank, and [[Swindle (G1)#Universe (2008)|Swindle]] a sand-colored helicopter.

Additionally, the hand/feet/weapons previously cast in translucent coloured plastic are now opaque grey.<br /> <br /> :While unconfirmed, it seems likely that this release was conceived to satisfy then-high collector demand for the original ''Universe'' Bruticus Maximus set, a result of the unofficial Explorer and Munitioner upgrade kits released for the figure by &quot;[[IP theft|third party]]&quot; company FansProject.

These four component Kreons can be rebuilt into their alternate modes or taken apart and combined into Bruticus.<br /> <br /> :Like all Micro Changer combiner sets, Bruticus comes with only ''one'' Kre-O display brick, and a sticker sheet composed of his leg, arm and right shoulder details and a ''Kre-O'' logo. Due to the limb stickers being slightly transparent, applying them into the black-colored leg parts could render the details being semi-transparent. The instructions also did not mention where you should put the ''Kre-O'' logo sticker. Also, Bruticus's combined mode's waist part is somehow prone to falling off from the assembly while posing, and he has a problem standing straight due to how the legs are constructed.<br /> <br /> :Despite Blast Off's exclusion from the set, he was later released in the first wave of blind bag figures and, with enough creativity, can be combined into Bruticus.<br /> <br /> ::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2013/Decepticon/Kre-OBruticus/bruticus.htm More information on Bruticus at TFU.info]''<br /> <br /> {{anchor|Combiner3pack}}<br /> *'''Combiner Robot Mega Pack''' (3-pack, 2016)<br /> **''Set number'': '''???'''<br /> **''Pieces'': '''245'''<br /> <br /> :3 years later, the 3 Micro-Changer combiners, Superion, Bruticus, and Menasor were reissued and released as a 3-pack.

Designed in the &quot;Scramble City&quot; style, all four Deluxe Combaticons can each become either an arm or a leg, and come with double-barrelled guns that can transform into either a foot or a fist to complete the limb. The stock photography shows Blast Off and Vortex as arms and Swindle and Brawl as legs. Shockwave transforms into the combiner robot's handheld weapon, but his overall weight makes it largely impossible for him to be held by any combiner in a firing pose without falling over or pulling the arm down. Even worse, as Onslaught is retooled from [[Hot Spot (G1)#Combiner Wars|Hot Spot]], Bruticus retains [[Defensor (G1)#Generations|Defensor]]'s forward-lean problem. Unlike Defensor however, the leaning problem can be resolved by turning Bruticus's thighs inward, forcing the pelvis armor to push against Onslaught's knees and correcting his posture, although this will force Bruticus into a strange A-legged stance.<br /> <br /> :A promotional CGI render of the combined mode has Bruticus slightly mistransformed, having Blast Off's legs facing knees forward in his arm mode, which would leave Bruticus' left arm without a double elbow. Though difficult, it is ''possible'' to arrange Vortex's rotors in a shield-like position.<br /> <br /> :Like [[Defensor (G1)#Generations|Defensor]] before him, all four limbs were released in the same wave, making it much easier to complete a set. He is also the first &quot;classic&quot; combiner in the ''Combiner Wars'' series to not have a &quot;replacement&quot; member. However, Blast Off was relegated to a simple redeco of [[Slingshot (G1)#Combiner Wars|Quickslinger]], leaving him with a different alt-mode (a jet instead of a space shuttle) and an inaccurate head. In 2018 Hasbro released a redeco of the Unite Warriors version of Blast Off ([[Bruticus (G1)#Unite Warriors|see below]]) as a more accurate replacement.<br /> <br /> ::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2016/Decepticon/CWBruticus/bruticus.htm More information on ''Combiner Wars'' Bruticus at TFU.info]''<br /> <br /> {{-}}{{anchor|CWG2}}{{anchor|CombinerWarsG2}}<br /> [[File:CW-toy Bruticus G2.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|TASTE THE RAINBOW.

However, despite being (broadly) accurate in their base colors, all of the Combaticons have Generation 1 insignias, while Shockwave comes with the movie version of the Decepticon faction symbol.<br /> <br /> : There is no ''Generation 2''-colored version of the Space Shuttle Blast Off toy, sorry. You only get the jet.<br /> <br /> : Weirdly, the ''backs'' of the antennae on Bruticus's head are painted silver, rather than the front where they'd be far more noticeable/make any amount of sense. On the other hand, the original ''Generation 2'' Bruticus had unpainted antennae, so hey.<br /> <br /> : This version of the combiner was only sold as a complete team in a big box set, which also included a poster and a collector card based on the packaging art. This set was sold &quot;exclusively&quot; through multiple online outlets, though it eventually found its way to closeout retailers like TJ Maxx and Ross the following holiday season for well below its original price, alongside more or less all of the other &quot;Collection Pack&quot; semi-exclusives in the line.<br /> <br /> ::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2016/Decepticon/CWG2Bruticus/bruticus.htm More information on Generation 2 ''Combiner Wars'' Bruticus at TFU.info]''<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Unite Warriors''===<br /> [[File:TF-UW07-Bruticus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|So cartoon accurate his chest is based on what some people would call an animation error!]]<br /> *'''Bruticus''' (giftset, [[June 25]], [[2016]])<br /> **''ID number:'' '''UW-07'''<br /> {{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}<br /> <br /> :The Japanese ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' release of [[#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' Bruticus]] comes in a much more cartoon-accurate color scheme, with a recolored chest plate, and color matching hand/foot/gun pieces for [[Swindle (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Swindle]] and [[Brawl (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Brawl]]. He has a completely new mold in the form of [[Blast Off (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Blast Off]] as a space shuttle, rather than the recolored jet mold of his Hasbro release. [[Vortex (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Vortex]] also includes the more cartoon-accurate four-bladed rotor blades as opposed to the two-bladed rotors his Hasbro version carried over from the Alpha Bravo mold.

Certain detailed combination sequences, seen in &quot;[[Aerial Assault]],&quot; &quot;[[The Revenge of Bruticus]]&quot;, and &quot;[[B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.]]&quot;, actually show Blast Off's wings disconnecting and moving into place as the chestplate, but these sequences also misinterpret some of Bruticus's details, and wind up depicting the two wheels at the base of the chestplate, which are supposed to be part of Onslaught's torso, as being connected to the plate and hence part of Blast Off.<br /> ** While Bruticus' toy has wheels on the back of its thighs, his cartoon model only depicts this detail on his ''left'' thigh, almost certainly a product of his rear-view character model being designed without the toy for reference, like multiple other season 2 characters—not that it matters much in practise, as the odd detail is almost consistently omitted from his actual in-show appearances.<br /> ** Bruticus has two head designs in the cartoon: the detailed one seen in his full-body character model, which features in most of his animated appearances, and a simplified, more angular one that appears consistently in &quot;[[The Revenge of Bruticus]]&quot; and &quot;[[Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee]],&quot; and in select brief scenes of other episodes.<br /> * The packaging of the 1991 [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European]] [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] release of the original Onslaught toy depicted Bruticus and the Combaticons in (mostly) new color schemes, 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 were the cause of an error with the hue settings of the [[stock photography|stock photos]], rather than a legitimate attempt to [[redeco]] the Combaticons.<br /> * Several attributes of [[Action Master Elite]] [[Turbo Master]], including his face and chest plate, suggest that he was originally intended to be Bruticus. However, according to ''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations Deluxe]]'', at one point a non-transforming version of Action Master Bruticus was planned, which would have looked significantly different from [[Turbo Master]].<br /> * For every version of the original Bruticus mold, the packaging art depicts the Brawl figure on backwards.<br /> *''Earth Wars'' Bruticus's character model is a (more proportionate) recreation of his ''Combiner Wars'' toy.<br /> * ''Earth Wars'' Bruticus's Earth Shatter ability is most likely a reference to his [[Bruticus (WFC)|''Fall of Cybertron'' counterpart]]'s shockwave ability, given how it affects a large area and do mass amounts of damage.
