- Brasnya is a wanna-be nation-state in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Fiction
IDW Comics continuity
Brasnya is a republic of the Soviet Union (until later issues started calling it Russia) attempting to break off and become an independent country. The USSR/Russia/Carbomya does not approve of these plans. Megatron aims to use this conflict to initiate a new, global war that will leave humans in a weakened position when the Decepticons choose to take action. To accomplish this, he turns himself into a gun, has a facsimilie "fire" him at a Russian oil pipeline, then used a cloaked Blitzwing to take potshots at Russian & Brasnyan forces (who thought the others were firing) to instigate a conflict. This worked until the Autobots intervened. Escalation
Later on, the United States organisation Skywatch arrived in the area to examine it with intention to track down the Transformers. Devastation issue 1
The nation is probably based on Chechnya, a federal subject of Russia which has a violent history of separatism.
