Brunt (G1)

This article is about the Generation 1 tank. For the Revenge of the Fallen tank, see Brunt (ROTF).

Brunt is a Decepticon drone from the Generation 1 continuity family.

"Brunt, F.C.A.!"

Brunt is a tank that splits into several towers of Trypticon's city mode (plus a couple of leftover pieces). In battle station mode, Trypticon uses Brunt's turret as his main cannon.

Fiction

The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers

After Trypticon laid the smack down on Metroplex (who was filled with human children) and Full-Tilt made short work of Scamper, Brunt was deployed in order to deliver the finishing blow to Autobot City. Full-Tilt would have fired Brunt, too, had Six-Gun not intervened. Defeating Full-Tilt, Six-Gun took command of Brunt and fired him at Trypticon, injuring the Decepticon so much as to cause Galvatron to order a retreat.

Toys

Generation 1

• Trypticon (Decepticon City, 1986/1987)
  • Japanese ID number: D-63

Brunt's only independent mode is a tank. The "transformation" is simply a split into five pieces, three of which are used as towers in Trypticon's city mode. The other two mount on the sides of the main ramp, providing a rotating platform for Trypticon's radar arrays. In battle station mode, the two "towers" are removed, the central turret remains as Trypticon's main cannon, and the rotating platforms remain in place to power a pair of weapons systems.
