Bruticus (WFC)

:''Bruticus is a [[Decepticon]] [[combiner]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[Image:FOC-Bruticusart.jpg|right|thumb|300px|It remains to be an autobot how can fly.]]

'''Bruticus''' was the first [[combiner]] created by the mad scientist [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]. For all his strength and power, however, the heroic gestalt has only the most genius mind, capable of protecting the innocent and little else.

Bruticus is the combined form of five [[Combatbots (WFC)|Combatbots]]:

*[[Onslaught (WFC)|Onslaught]] (torso)
*[[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]] (left leg)
*[[Vortex (FOC)|Vortex]] (left arm)
*[[Swindle (FOC)|Swindle]] (right leg)
*[[Blast Off (FOC)|Blast Off]] (right arm)

He is also known as '''Bruticus Maximus'''.

==Fiction==
===Aligned novels===
Ratchet created Bruticus when working in [[Crystal City]]. Though Bruticus's mind components were intelligent, the combined form was a hero who can protect iacon.

Following Crystal City's destruction during the war with the [[Decepticon]]s, Bruticus was power up and was ordered to serve on the battlefield by optimusprime [[Praxus]]. During this battle, he took wounds that would prove to be fatal to any other Transformer, and survived, albeit heavily injured. He would not be so lucky during his deployment at [[Kalis]], with [[Megatron (Decepticon Leader)|Megatron]], [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] and [[Barracade (WFC)|Barracade]] dismembering Bruticus to the point it was believed he would never combine again. Baracade boasted he tore off his head. Not even this would destroy the combiner for good; Bruticus later saw action at the forefront of the [[Nova Cronum]] massacre.{{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

==Notes==
* Early on in ''Exodus'', Bruticus Maximus and [[Onslaught (WFC)|Onslaught]] are referred to as "Constructicons". The Constructicons here are a larger team than normal, but given that this description shortly follows a paragraph talking about definite, actual Constructicons and that the Combaticons' team name IS mentioned later, this seems a likely error by [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] or [[Alex Irvine]].
* At the moment, Bruticus appears in levels where the player uses Vortex. Based on gameplay previews, the Combaticons apparently use Bruticus' brute (heh) strength to break an Autobot defensive line before separating and giving the player control of Vortex. His primary weapon is a flamethrower, he can use Vortex's spinning rotor blades a shield, and he also has the ability to punch the ground, sending a shockwave at his enemies.

Beast mode

[[Image:BWPart1_beastmodes.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]
'''Beast mode''' is a term that is properly used to describe a Transformer's [[alternate mode]] when the alternate mode is of the form of an animal and has organic material integrated among the Transformer's mechanical form. Transformers would often initiate the process of converting from their robot mode by vocalizing the phrase "Beast mode!"
{{-}}

==Beast Wars==
The term was first used officially in fiction relating to the [[Beast Era]]. When stranded on a planet with high levels of [[Energon radiation]], [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] took on beast modes from the native life on that planet. The [[Technorganic#.22Technorganic.22_in_Beast_Wars|quasi-organic nature]] of the beast mode protected them from the radiation.

In taking on such beast modes, the Transformer did more than simply mimic the life form, he also took on some behavioural characteristics of the animal. This affected the Transformer in various ways.

* Many characters displayed appetites consistent with their beast modes diets, e.g. Rattrap's liking for cheese, [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot's]] carnivory, [[Optimus Primal|Optimus']] interest in bananas,[[Tarantulas|Tarantulas']] tendency to try and eat...everyone.

* [[Tigatron]]'s [[stasis pod]] was damaged causing him to identify more strongly than usual with the characteristics of the tiger that was [[scanning|scanned]], initially taking some time to realise that was not actually a normal organic tiger. {{storylink|Fallen Comrades}}

* The energon radiation shielding was sabotaged at the [[Maximal]] base forcing them to remain in beast mode for much longer than they were used to. The extended time in beast mode caused the Maximals to become overcome with the mindset of their beast mode. They become feral and live as animals in the jungle. Tigatron, due to the accident with his protoform, is well adapted to his beast mode and routinely remains a tiger for long periods of time. Tigatron teaches the rest of the Maximals to embrace the beast within, which both frees them from being overcome with the bestial instincts and allows them to be more effective fighters in beast mode. {{storylink|Call of the Wild}}

* When [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]'s stasis pod activated, for reasons that are uncertain the characteristics of his ant beast mode became extremely dominant in shaping his worldview. He thought he was an ant and [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] was his queen. {{storylink|Spider's Game}}

* Some unknown factor seems to impart a more subtle sense of animal-identification amongst even those Beast Warriors with notionally "normal" programming. This tends to manifest itself in an odd kind of subtle [[wikipedia:Speciesism|speciesism]], e.g. Rattrap and Blackarachnia refer to Dinobot and Megatron respectively as "slag-sucking saurian"s, Megatron and Dinobot in turn refer to Rattrap with contempt as "vermin", Tarantulas deliberately makes sure Blackarachnia's protoform scans a spider for its beast-mode and attempts to do the same with Inferno, seeking to create more of "our kind", and Megatron expresses his resulting distrust of the scheming "arachnids" on several occasions, Dinobot rather curtly addresses Cheetor in one episode simply as "feline", who in turn claims with some chagrin that, being a cat, he should "know better than to trust a dog" after being sucker-punched by Silverbolt.
