The Autobot Brothers are Optimus Prime's first choice for backup and three of his most-trusted men. Whenever he goes on a mission, the brothers are usually close behind, bickering with each other. The eldest brother is X-Brawn, a rough-and-tumble cowpoke whose strength is his wild outdoors nature. Meanwhile Prowl is a strict, by-the-book cop who has a full time job keeping his brothers in line, especially the youngest, Side Burn who loves nothing more than slacking off and ogling sexy red sports cars. More so than the other Autobots, the three brothers tend to be the ones who interact with humans, especially Koji Onishi.

Fiction

Robots in Disguise cartoon

The Autobot Brothers were among the first Autobots to establish themselves on Earth to defend it against the Predacons. When the Predacons attacked the International Scientific Symposium in New York, Optimus initiated Battle Protocol. X-Brawn was forced to dump Kelly, and Side Burn was interrupted during a flirting session with a red sports car, but with Prowl's urging, the three of them reached New York. They kept Slapper, Dark Scream and Gas Skunk busy, but Megatron managed to kidnap Dr Onishi. Battle Protocol! They began patrolling the streets after a series of attacks on vehicles. This eventually paid off when Sky-Byte attacked a red sports car that Side Burn had his eye on. While Prowl saved the vehicle's driver, Kelly, X-Brawn stole the explosive device that Sky-Byte had obtained, and took it to the top of a radio tower so Prime could fire it into space. An Explosive Situation

Optimus and the three brothers accompanied the Linear RFG on its maiden journey. They failed to prevent the Predacons from blowing up a bridge ahead of the train, but with Team Bullet Train's help, the Linear RFG was halted before disaster could occur. Side Burn briefly wondered by he and his brothers couldn't combine like Team Bullet Train, before concluding he wouldn't want to combine with his brothers anyway. Bullet Train to the Rescue They helped Prime protect the Plutonium Energy Generator from another Predacon attack, though Prime had to chide Side Burn for his recklessness. When the generator was moved, the brothers provided an escort for the truck, but were unsuccessful in preventing its theft by the Predacons. The Spychangers were called in, and Optimus instructed the brothers to observe the team as it recovered the generator. Spychangers to the Rescue

An attack on an experimental ship near the Black Pyramid resulted in T-AI calling out the Autobot Brothers again, though Side Burn required some extra coercion. Because the ship was far out to sea, they had to jump off the end of the Global Space Bridge, which took some doing, but soon Optimus and the brothers had saved the ship from the Predacons. The Hunt for Black Pyramid Side Burn took Koji Onishi to the Payuma ruins, only to stumble on the fact that Sky-Byte was scouting out the ruins in search of something. Optimus and the other brothers came to his assistance, and they found a microchip left by Dr Onishi. The Secret of the Ruins

Side Burn's sports car fetish proved a liability when he was lured into a trap by Megatron disguised as a red sports car. Optimus attempted to come to Side Burn's aid and was captured too, leading to Prowl and X-Brawn adopting a disguise and rescuing the pair with the help of some of the Spychangers. Sideburn's Obsession The Autobot Brothers were called in to help protect the steam engine "Grandpa" with Prime and Team Bullet Train, though their contribution to the effort was mostly limited to Side Burn chasing off Kelly. Secret Weapon: D-5 After Skid-Z came to Earth and went a bit loopy, Prowl tried to intercept him without success during the Europa 400. All of the Autobots subsequently entered the International Grand Prix under the assumption that race-crazy Skid-Z would put in an appearance. He did, and manage to resist the call of the race long enough to save Prime and the three Brothers who had become stuck trying to hold up a huge boulder. Skid Z's Choice

The arrival of Tow-Line spelled trouble for Side Burn as he found himself being towed away. Prowl was put in charge of acclimating the new recruit, which caused him much stress as Tow-Line was indiscriminate in his towing. The new Autobot became corrupted by a Predacon program, and towed away Side Burn and X-Brawn along with Rapid Run and placed them in a pit. Prowl and Optimus managed to trap and repair Tow-Line, and the trio in the pit were rescued. Tow-Line Goes Haywire The brothers turned up at a temple to help Rapid Run, who'd found Slapper interfering with a statue. After a clue from Koji, T-AI dispatched the Autobot Brothers to scout the Cave of the Dragon, and sure enough, Sky-Byte was snooping around. The brothers' acting abilities were pressed into use as Prime and Team Bullet Train disguised themselves as a huge statue and the dragon it was supposed to turn into. They succeeded in chasing off the Decepticons and found an O-Part into the bargain. The Ultimate Robot Warrior

T-AI ordered the brothers in to base, where they reviewed footage of their past battle in the hopes of gaining a clue to the location of the Predacon base. Hope for the Future The brothers accompanied Prime to Castle Peak, where they found a crashed Autobot ship. Unfortunately they were unable to prevent Megatron from stealing the protoforms inside and turning them into a new squad of Decepticons. The Decepticons X-Brawn caught the newly minted Decepticons at Sherman Dam and was tossed into the water by Scourge. Prowl and Side Burn arrived there after Koji alerted them, and found themselves being tossed in too. Unable to swim out, they sat at the bottom of the lake and played 'I Spy' until the dam ruptured, and they were washed out so they could help fight the Decepticons. Commandos

Movor got shot into space as part of a new Decepticon plan to try and find the Autobot base. Trouble was that the Autobot Brothers were too occupied to go back to base. The Decepticons followed Side Burn around, until X-Brawn tricked Side Burn into going to Pier 7B, where the Autobots set up an ambush for the Decepticons. Side Burn was disappointed that the red sports car he was promised wasn't there. Attack from Outer Space When the Decepticons claimed they wanted to defect to the Autobots, Prime placed them under the guardianship of the Autobot Brothers, who had them carry out various menial tasks as a test. The Decepticons passed with flying colors, but Scourge blew it when they were within moments of finding the location of the Autobot base, and the brothers watched Prime furiously chase the Decepticons off. The Test

The Autobot Brothers foiled a Decepticon attack on a power plant. A short time later, they were warned by Sky-Byte that the Decepticons were going to attack the Bayshore power plant. Unfortunately the Decepticons instead attacked the Crestline power plant, and the brothers got there to find Team Bullet Train had been forced to handle things. During a later attack, they were able to take some revenge on Sky-Byte. The Fish Test The brothers were dispatched to Antarctica to foil a Predcon plan, only to be stopped by an unfinished Space Bridge tunnel. The Build Team ended up going in their stead. Wedge's Short Fuse Decepticon interference with the Global Space Bridge resulted in the Autobot Brothers being deposited in all sorts of strange places. Once it was fixed, they watched as the Build Team fought off Megatron. Landfill When the Decepticons tried to draw out the Build Team by attacking construction sites, the Autobot Brothers attempted to stop them, but they'd retreat as soon as the brothers arrived. Later they took a relaxing oil bath on an island the Build Team found. A Test of Metal

Ultra Magnus interrupted the brothers when they were trying to stop the Decepticons from stealing oil. After some conveniently-intercepted communications, the brothers set out to find Sky-Byte, only to be ambushed and disabled by Ultra Magnus, who left them in a junkyard. Ultra Magnus Returning to base, they discovered that Magnus was beating up Optimus, and the trio came to their leader's aid. They took the battered Prime to an island to recuperate, and Side Burn listened to Prime's tale about how he'd been chosen to lead the Autobots over Magnus. When the Decepticons later attacked Optimus on the island, the brothers attempted to help, only to find that Sky-Byte had blocked the exit to the Space Bridge. They eventually broke through to find that Optimus and Ultra Magnus had combined into Omega Prime, and didn't need their help after all. Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!

On Optimus's orders, the three brothers helped test that the Global Space Bridge was working properly. Lessons of the Past Out searching for Magnus, the brothers found the rogue Autobot talking to Sky-Byte. When they confronted him, the Decepticons took them captive and used them to lure Prime into a trap. Fortunately Magnus rescued the trio. During the course of the ensuing battle, the brothers somehow received a burst of energy (and new color schemes) via Ultra Magnus and helped fight the Predacons off. The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus They tracked down Magnus again, only to find him with Scourge and the Commandos. The brothers began fighting Ruination, but found that they were suffering an unexpected loss of power. They had to sit out the rest of the battle while Omega Prime chased the baddies off. Power to Burn!

A clue to what the Predacons were after led the Autobot to investigate Metro City's underground. They began experiencing hallucinations, which in Side Burn's case consisted of red sports cars, and eventually found some ruins which concealed Fortress Maximus. Fortress Maximus While the other Autobots were hiding Maximus, the brothers caught Sky-Byte talking to Koji. They fought the startled shark until Koji discovered that Sky-Byte was simply returning his dad to them. The brothers apologized to Sky-Byte for the misunderstanding. Koji Gets His Wish With Maximus located, the Autobot Brothers and the Build Team had a contest to see who could find the most O-Parts, despite being hampered by Sky-Byte and the Decepticons. The Build Team won. A Friendly Contest

The assembled O-Parts sent Prime and the brothers to the Sahara Desert. Side Burn and Koji were separated from the others, who located the Orb of Sigma. A battle over the artifact ensued, during which Side Burn caught up with them and helped retrieve the orb before the Decepticons did. Peril from the Past The brothers and the Build Team attempted to retrieve Cerebros from an ancient temple, only for him to be snatched from their grasp by the Decepticons. The Autobots showed out in force to protect Maximus, thought Side Burn had to be towed there by Tow-Line to avoid any distractions. There wasn't much they could do when they were facing the activated Fortress Maximus as well as Megatron reborn as Galvatron. Luckily Koji somehow commanded the giant to stop. Maximus Emerges

When Scourge made another attempt to activate Maximus in a desert, Prime and the brothers turned out in a fairly futile attempt to stop him. Side Burn attempted to get Koji close enough to try a repeat performance of his trick back in Metro City, but it wasn't until Dr Onishi's idea to bring a thousand children out to the desert paid off that Maximus was stopped. The Human Element With Koji under obvious threat with his ability to control Maximus, the brothers were forced to watch over him constantly. Somehow he switched clothing with his friend Karl and gave the brothers the slip, which unfortunately resulted in Karl being kidnapped by Sky-Byte. Optimus worked up a mission to rescue Karl, and Koji talked Side Burn into letting him come along. The brothers, Optimus and Ultra Magnus working together all managed to rescue Karl. Mistaken Identity

The Predacons and Decepticons launched an attack on the Autobot base. The Autobot Brothers joined the other Autobots in preparing an ambush for the foe, only for Galvatron to bring in his fortress, the Megastar. The Autobots ended up having to sit back and watch as Fortress Maximus fought the Megastar, eventually destroying it. Surprise Attack! Galvatron, however, began siphoning energy from Maximus, and the brothers made an abortive attempt to stop him. After Galvatron used cyber-bats to attack the world's children, Optimus ordered a retreat. Galvatron burst the Global Space Bridge tunnel they were using, flooding it with lava, but the Autobots were able to escape. Only they then found themselves under attack from Galvatron once again. Galvatron's Revenge The Autobots rallied against the Decepticons, but Galvatron seized them all in an energy field. There they remained until Omega Prime and Galvatron had a duel at the center of the Earth, which Prime decisively won.

Before the Autobots returned to Cybertron, the Autobot brothers took the opportunity to engage in their usual leisure activities. The Final Battle

Ultra Magnus...to the Rescue?

The Autobot Brothers tangled with Megatron in Oregon and were thus occupied when T-AI called on them to respond to an emergency in Arizona. After Megatron fled the battle, the brothers went to Arizona only to find that Optimus and Ultra Magnus had already dealt with the problem. Ultra Magnus...to the Rescue?
