Brunt is a Decepticon in the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film series.

I am vast, I contain multitudes.

Brunt does not do "hurry." Victory or defeat will come when they come, and there's no point in trying to hurry things along.

This heavy-hitting Decepticon's high-torque treads are geared to move him across almost any surface, no matter how broken, pitted, mined or undermined. The trade-off is speed; Brunt moves at what kindly be called a crawl, a sitting duck for enemy fire. Brunt is massively armored to absorb this punishment during the slow approach to his target. Once his canon is brought to bear, it's all over.

Brunt sometimes disregards his canon completely in favor of simply using his massive weight to plow through Autobot barricades, allowing Decepticon forces to pour through after him.

Brunt's incredibly heavy armor makes him overconfident. Continuous fire on a sufficiently long approach can weaken or breach it, making him dependent on supporting troops to split the Autobots attention. If slippery substances or unstable road surfaces impede or clog his treads, Brunt's slow progress can be rendered almost glacial.

Trivia

• Brunt has 10 sparks. What the hell man?
• An early treatment for The Reign of Starscream comic series included an ending where the city of Trypticon was brought to life by the Replica AllSpark as a giant robot dinosaur. This is awesome, but probably unrelated to Brunt's origin.
