Onslaught (WFC)

The name or term "Onslaught" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Onslaught (disambiguation).

Onslaught is a Decepticon from the War for Cybertron portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Status as roaring and/or a dudicus: unconfirmed.

Onslaught is a Decepticon formerly from the Combaticon caste. Submitting himself to Shockwave's combiner experiments, he became the core of the dangerously unstable gestalt form known as Bruticus Maximus.

Fiction

Exodus

Onslaught was put into stasis lock under Crystal City with the rest of Bruticus Maximus when Shockwave's combination experiment proved unsuccessful. After Devastator destroyed Crystal City, Bruticus was revived and sent to Kalis. But the Autobots won, with Optimus Prime, Jazz and Sideswipe taking down the giant. Sideswipe boasted he tore off Bruticus's head, which was formed by Onslaught. Bruticus was later repaired and deployed at Praxus and spearheaded the Nova Cronum massacre. Exodus

Noticeably lacking in fandom shout-outs.

Onslaught is an unlockable character for the Nintendo DS version of War for Cybertron (Decepticon version), unlocked by finding a disc in the mission "Reactivating the Energon Bridge" (requires Heavy and Light class characters). Like the other unlockable characters, he can replace any of the other Decepticons in the campaign mode.

Onslaught defended the Dark Energon injection machines. Wielding a large hammer, he introduced himself to his foes with a simple, "Get ready for an ONSLAUGHT!", but was eventually defeated by the Autobots. Transformers: War for Cybertron

Onslaught makes a brief appearance with the Combaticons during the World Premiere trailer, forming the torso and head of Bruticus.

Notes

• At one point, Exodus calls Onslaught a Constructicon, but this seems likely to be an error as the Combaticon name is used later.

• Onslaught is usable in both the Autobot and Decepticon versions of the War for Cybertron games for the DS. Used only for multiplayer, bonus missions and Arena mode in the Autobot version and used in Multiplayer, Arena mode, and campaign in the Decepticon version.

• A glitch causes Onslaught (or rather Leader class characters using his "Tactical Rig" model) to be immune to the Scout's Mark target ability in competitive multiplayer.
