| The name or term "Bruticus" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Bruticus (disambiguation). |
- Bruticus is a Predacon from the Robots in Disguise continuity family.
Bruticus tirelessly guards the prisons of the Predacon leader Megatron. He's got just enough brains between his three heads to do his very simple job: make sure Autobot prisoners don't escape, and if they do, smash them.
Toys
Robots in Disguise
- Bruticus (Deluxe, 2001)
- Bruticus transforms into a Cerberus, a mythical three-headed dog. His robot mode continues the motif, with three different dog-shaped faces on his head. his beast-mode hind legs, which end up on his robot mode back, can unfold into a second pair of arms, each one brandishing a (non-removable) melee weapon. His triple tail becomes a flail weapon for robot mode.
- Bruticus' mold was originally developed to be a Maximal for the Beast Machines series. When that series was cut short, apparently the toy had made it far enough into the development process to continue. He has a flip-up chestplate that reveals indications of an intended spark-crystal-activated gimmick (as all second-year Beast Machines toys had). But this gimmick was seemingly abandoned, and it is unknown just what it was meant to do; it has been suggested, due to the shoulder design of the figure, the gimmick would have involved some kind of lunging attack with the two side heads (the ones that turn into the main robot arms) in beast mode when the center head was pressed down..
Trivia
- Bruticus was the first Transformers color layout done by Aaron Archer.
- It is possible, though difficult, to arrange the "bat wings" of Bruticus' robot head to effectively make any of his three faces the "primary" one (the one that faces forward); what this accomplishes is unknown, aside from an obscure Quintesson reference.
