As leader of the Combaticons, Onslaught is a genius when it comes to strategy. While this tactical skill is his most impressive asset, he's more proud of the fact that he's so much bigger than his peers. In true Decepticon fashion, Onslaught likes to show off his brawn by bullying smaller foes.

When he is provoked into being violent,<ref>The Last Knight TRF prisoner dossier bios</ref> he combines with his fellow Combaticons to form the mighty Bruticus Maximus.

Big Green! Get in here.

Onslaught was among the Decepticons in TRF's custody. When the TRF opted to work with Megatron and release some Decepticons to be part of his "crew", among Megatron's first choices was none other than Berserker. However, Berserker was deemed too dangerous, so Megatron had to settle for Onslaught, who needed high level clearance to be released. When released, he angrily bemoaned the small size of the TRF's doors, which he could not fit through. However, he was able to get his cannon through said door.

Looks like Berserker picked the right day to call in sick.

Onslaught joined the Decepticons on their hunt for Cade Yeager, and followed his leader to the human's scrap yard and then to a nearby town. They were met with some not-quite-unexpected resistance in the form of the Autobots Bumblebee, Drift, and Crosshairs and damaged in a trap set by Yeager. He attempted to catch the fugitive human but was ambushed by Drift and Crosshairs. He first lost his leg and took several shots in the chest before finally losing his "fat head" to Drift's sword.

Well I'm going to call you little green.

Onslaught was among the Decepticons who attacked Doctor Hiroshi Benson's laboratory. Onslaught moved to attack Hydrobot, but was quickly subdued by the razor. Later he was hit by Hydrobot's energy-field razor and, along with the other Decepticons, was forced to retreat. A New Friend

Revenge of the Fallen

[edit]
Don't mess, or I'll have your favourite superheroes drawn by Rob Liefeld!
  • Bruticus Maximus (2009)
Revenge of the Fallen Onslaught is a redeco of Energon Barricade, transforming into an eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier with a rear-mounted (non-firing) missile rack that turns and elevates. He was available with the Revenge of the Fallen 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. ONSLT and C5 (a reference to the original Onslaught's team ID number) are tampographed on the hood of Onslaught's vehicle mode.
He was also retooled into Timelines Heatwave and is indistinguishable from Universe Onslaught, including the paint error.

Prime 1 Studio Museum Masterline Onslaught was supposedly a huge non-transforming but screen-accurate polystone statue that was entirely based on his robot mode seen in the film. As with all Prime 1 Studio statues, he would probably feature LED lights on his eyes.
Had this release not been canceled, you would have needed a bigger shelf for this guy.
