| : ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Brawl transforms into a green Leopard 1A3 main battle tank. In vehicle mode his armament is supplemented by a large dark gray anti-aircraft gun mounted of the back of the tank's hull. In robot mode Brawl is armed with a small dark gray gun. Brawl normally operates as Bruticus' left leg, but as a [[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]-style combiner, he can also act as any other limb for any other combination of robots who share the connection design.
| |
| | |
| :The initial release of Brawl had [[die-cast]] metal treads on his legs, but like several other 1986 toys, later releases replaced this with colored plastic. In 1987, he came packaged with a random Decepticon [[Decoy]].
| |
| | |
| : In 1987, Brawl also came with a randomly-packed Decepticon [[Decoy]] and accompanying mini-comic/checklist.
| |
| | |
| : This mold was [[redeco]]ed as ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (toyline)|Operation Combination]]'' [[Sandstorm (OC)#Toys|Sandstorm]], as well as [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Armorhide (RID)#Toys|Armorhide]].

| |
| | |
| : Brawl's [[alternate mode]] is a green "[[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]]" hover tank with a twin-barreled turret. Unlike most other Transformers toys with tank alternate modes, Brawl sports ''no'' wheels whatsoever. His robot mode rifle can be attached to the turret (between the two cannon barrels) and thus serve as an additional weapon. In robot mode, Brawl can hold his rifle (which features a [[5 mm post|5 mm post]] as its handle) in either hand.
| |
| | |
| : In addition to his robot and vehicle modes, Brawl can also combine with his fellow Combaticons into Bruticus and serve as any of the gestalt robot's four limbs, though his official configuration shown in the [[instructions]] is the left leg.
| |
| | |
| : This toy was [[retool]]ed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Twintwist#Toys|Twintwist]].

| :''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Brawl is a redeco of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Kickback (Energon)|Kickback]]/[[Blight (Energon)|Blight]] sculpt, transforming into a green [http://www.army-technology.com/projects/gepard/gepard1.html Gepard] anti-aircraft tank. His tank mode is adorned with the text "1MJ9" in a font that says "brwl" when read upside-down. When combined with the other Combaticons, Brawl is nominally Bruticus Maximus' left leg, though he can be used in any other limb position.
| |
| | |
| : He was only available as part of the ''Universe'' Bruticus Maximus [[giftset]], which also contains [[Blast Off (G1)#Universe (2008)|Blast Off]], another redeco of the same sculpt used for Brawl. The ''Universe'' version of the giftset was initially intended to be released as a [[Target]] exclusive in the United States, but ultimately ended up being only available in some non-American markets such as Australia and Singapore. Instead, American markets eventually received a [[rebranding|rebranded]] version of this giftset (with no changes to the toys themselves) in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' packaging (thereby creating a new version of the pre-existing [[live-action film series]] [[Brawl (Movie)#Exclusive figures|Brawl]] character as well as a new [[Blast Off (ROTF)|Blast Off]] character), exclusively available at Target stores in the United States and at Zellers stores in Canada.
| |
| | |
| : This sculpt was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], as well as the ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' versions of Brawl (see [[#United|below]]) and [[Blast Off (G1)/toys#United|Blast Off]]. Another planned redeco, ''[[Transformers (2007 toyline)|Movie]]'' [[Gunbarrel (Movie)#Tiys|Gunbarrel]], was canceled.

| | |
| : A redeco of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Hunt for the Decepticons'']] [[Breacher (TF 2010)#Toys|Breacher]], ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Brawl transforms into a Land Systems OMC {{w|Ratel IFV}}. His cannon uses the [[C joint]] system, so it can be clipped onto multiple places on his robot mode, as well as on other figures with appropriate mounting points. (The [[instructions]] completely neglect to mention this, instead insisting on keeping the weapon attached to the vehicle roof mount in robot mode, thus keeping his weapon on his back even though he comes packed with the gun clipped onto his fist.) His arm-panels also utilize 3mm clips, therefore they can be equipped with assorted C joint accessories. They can also be removed and used as shields as they too are attached to his wrists with C-joints. The side of Brawl's alt mode is decorated with "D67", the Japanese ID number of his original toy.
| |
| | |
| : Originally developed by Hasbro Asia for release in their territories, Brawl was brought over with many other toys as [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] exclusives for the 2012 holiday season.
| |
| | |

| : A [[redeco]] of Decepticon Brawl from the [[Bruticus (WFC)#FOCDeluxe|Decepticon Bruticus]] [[giftset]] was available individually alongside his fellow Combaticons as part of the second [[wave]] of the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]''-themed 2012-onwards Deluxe Class ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' assortment. These versions of the Combaticons replace the [[Show-accuracy|game-accurate]], Generation 1-inspired decoes with more "flashy" colors apparently homaging the color scheme of [[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus Maximus]].
| |
| | |
| : Aside from the colors, mass retail Brawl is identical to the version from the Decepticon Bruticus gift set.
| |
| | |
| :Unsurprisingly for an Aligned toy inspired by Generation 1, ''Fall of Cybertron'' Brawl was used in multiple Generation 1-based stories. The TakaraTomy deco [[Brawl (G1)#Transformers: All Spark|appeared]] in the ''[[Transformers: All Spark]]'' manga series and the ''[[Transformers Cloud]]'' illustrated text stories.

| *'''Brawl''' (Deluxe Class, 2016)
| |
| **''Accessories:'' Barrel rifle, gun/hand/foot
| |
| | |
| : Part of the first wave of 2016 ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxes, Brawl is an all-new mold that transforms into a military tank of some kind. Though the turret cannot rotate, the barrel can hinge up and down. Said barrel can also pop off for Brawl to wield in robot mode as a rifle.
| |
| | |
| : Brawl has a slight engineering problem: his waist isn't designed to completely collapse into itself to attach to the hips, so he literally has no stomach (stock photography tends to hide this issue by showing Brawl from a high angle). Additionally, due to tolerance issues on many copies of the figure, the waist doesn't click in in its intended configuration—leading his chest to often flop backward. Later samples of Brawl and all subsequent uses of the mold however appear to have the remedied the issue for the most part allowing the waist to at least stay tabbed in. Additionally, his robot mode legs do not peg very firmly together, resulting in them separating frequently in arm configuration. Particularly, the tab on the hardpoint for the combined mode hand does not fit snugly into the slot. The tab and slot on his knees is similarly loose, but to a lesser degree.
| |
| | |
| : As Brawl is a ''Combiner Wars'' figure, he can combine with his fellow [[Combaticon (G1)#Combiner Wars|Combaticons]] to form [[Bruticus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Bruticus]] as either an arm or a leg. He can also combine with any ''Unite Warriors'' Voyager class figure or even form one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber's]] legs.
| |
| | |
| : Brawl comes with a copy of "''Combiner Wars'' #2" (actually [[Night and the City|''Robots in Disguise'' #9]]), while regional versions outside of the United States come with a collector card. He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up at TJ Maxx at reduced prices with the collector card.
| |
| | |
| : This mold was retooled to make [[BotCon 2016]] [[Ram Horn#Combiner Wars|General Ramhorn]], [[Nosecone (G1)#Generations|Nosecone]], [[Drillhorn (Victory)#Generations|Drillhorn]], and [[Killbison#Generations|Ironbison]].

Brawl trades in the olive coloured plastic for dark green and grey.

| | |
| :''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' Brawl is a redeco of the ''Combiner Wars'' mold in a color scheme based on his cartoon appearance, including changes such as giving him a gray head with yellow eyes and red faceplate and a hand-foot-gun cast in the same brown as his body. Brawl was sold only in a multi-pack with the other Combatrons.
| |
| | |
| :As a Deluxe Class ''Unite Warriors'' figure, he can combine to form the leg or arm of any combiner from Hasbro's ''Combiner Wars'' subline or any ''Unite Warriors'' figure, but would usually be associated with Bruticus.

| ==Notes==
| |
| *The packaging of the 1990 European [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] release of the original Onslaught toy depicted the Combaticons in 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 originated from a packaging printing error rather than a legitimate attempt to [[redeco]] the Combaticons.
| |
| *According to the [[Walmart]] computer database, there seemed to have been plans at some point for a ''[[War Within (franchise)|War Within]]'' version of Brawl in the 6" ''[[Titanium Series]]'' line. No other evidence of these plans has come to light.
| |
| *Interestingly, Hasbro documentation pertaining to the alternate [[Ironclad]] head for ''Combiner Wars'' [[Rook (Generations)#Toys|Rook]] labeled it as a "Brawl" head.<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/145413-the-second-annual-petes-robot-convention-and-dab-academy-june-9-10-2018/page-14#entry3744333 Comments by Pete Sinclair and Jesse Wittenrich]</ref>
