Fiction
Animated continuity
- Voice Actor: Roger C. Carmel (US), Yutaka Shimaka (Japan)
Starscream had an ace up his proverbial sleeve when Megatron ordered the Constructicons to form Devastator, Starscream similarly ordered the Combaticons to form the mighty Bruticus. Though extremely low in intelligence, even by the standards of combined robots, he was also extremely powerful, easily defeating Devastator and sending the remaining Decepticons loyal to Megatron into retreat. Unfortunately, the Stunticons arrived and formed Menasor, who launched an attack from behind, quickly subduing Bruticus.
Headmasters (Japan)
Zone OVA (Japan)
(Bruticus is referred to as one of the Nine Great Demon Generals. This terminology, coupled with the presence of the previously deceased Black Zarak in their ranks and Violen Jygar's supernatural origins, could mean that Bruticus died previously to Zone and was likewise brought back to life. However, this is unconfirmed, meaning that Violen Jygar may have simply recruited the still-living Bruticus to be a General.)
Bruticus was selected by Violen Jygar as one of his 9 Decepticon Demon-Generals and rebuilt with more powerful armor and weaponry. However, he did jack squat with it, as he was not present at any of the battles the other generals participated in.
Despite having an animation model, Bruticus does not appear in the single Zone OVA episode - not even the intro.
Zone manga (Japan)
Bruticus was selected by Violen Jygar as one of his 9 Decepticon Demon-Generals and rebuilt with more powerful armor and weaponry. With Abominus, Menasor, and Overlord, he attacked planet Z in order to steal its powerful Energon Z. Though attacked by four Micromaster battle stations, they managed to swipe it and then flee into space. The four then seemed to head to Earth, but were subsequently not seen again.
