Bristleback
- Bristleback is a Decepticon in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Bristleback HATES being a Pretender. He was forced into undergoing the process when he discovered to his great dismay that his steal skin was somehow inferrior to other Transformers, corroding and rusting upon contact with Earth's atmosphere. Worse yet, his bulky and cumbersome Pretender shell has transformed him from a once quick-footed fighter to one of the slowest movers in the Decepticon ranks. A foul-mouthed malcontent before these indignities, Bristleback has only become meaner since. His Pretender shell's one redeaming feature are the spikes on it's back which secrete a powerful corrosive acid upon contact.
He can combine with his fellow Monster Pretenders to form Monstructor.
