Brunt (G1)

This article is about the Generation 1 tank. For the movieverse tank, see Brunt (ROTF).

Brunt is a Decepticon drone from the Generation 1 continuity family.

"Brunt, F.C.A.!"

Brunt is a tank that splits into several towers of Trypticon's city mode (plus a couple of leftover pieces). In battle station mode, Trypticon uses Brunt's turret as his main cannon.

Fiction

The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers manga

Full-Tilt handles the Brunt work.

After Trypticon laid the smack down on Metroplex (who was filled with human children) and Full-Tilt made short work of Scamper, Brunt was deployed in order to deliver the finishing blow to Autobot City. Full-Tilt would have fired Brunt, too, had Six-Gun not intervened. Defeating Full-Tilt, Six-Gun took command of Brunt and fired it at Trypticon, injuring the Decepticon so much as to cause Galvatron to order a retreat.

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

Brunt was one of two "battlefield drones" controlled by Trypticon, the other being Full-Tilt. More than Meets the Eye

Beast Wars: Uprising

The Brunt tank drone remained a part of Trypticon's anatomy after he became the starship Dinosaur. His primary laser cannon was derived from the original Brunt. Trypticon also demonstrated the ability to reconfigure his internal structure and create a smaller Brunt tank drone inside his ship hull. This Brunt drone defended Trypticon's metaprocessor from Dead-End until she unleashed her pet Sharkticon on the tank. Intersectionality

Giant Gun thing... but got my own name.

• Trypticon (Decepticon City, 1986/1987)
  • Japanese ID number: D-63

Brunt's only independent mode is a tank. The "transformation" is simply a split into five pieces, three of which are used as towers in Trypticon's city mode. The other two mount on the sides of the main ramp, providing a rotating platform for Trypticon's radar arrays. In battle station mode, the two "towers" are removed, the central turret remains as Trypticon's main cannon, and the rotating platforms remain in place to power a pair of weapons systems.

Generations

Platinum Edition

• Trypticon (Platinum Edition, 2015)

Platinum Edition Trypticon is a reissue of his original toy. Both Brunt and Full-Tilt are included along with all his electronics, including the motorized walking gimmick.

Brunt has some changes from the original, including a larger power switch, a battery cover that is held shut with a screw, and his turret is now a friction joint instead of a ratchet.

The toy was released in Japan via TakaraTomy Mall under the USA Edition branding (the first "USA Edition" release in almost a decade), as a lucky draw prize.

War for Cybertron: Siege

Now with ninety percent more gun.

• Brunt (Deluxe Weaponizer, June 2019)
  • ID number: TBA
  • Japanese ID number: SG-25
  • Japanese release date: July 27, 2019

Siege Brunt is a new mold based on the Centurion droid from IDW Publishing's Stormbringer comic miniseries that transforms into a Cybertronian tank and back. In tank mode, Brunt's turret rotates and can also raise and lower his cannon vertically. Like his fellow "Weaponizer" figures, he can also separate into multiple parts compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System to form armor and weapons for other figures of the subline. He and his parts are also compatible with the 'Fire Blast' effect pieces from the Battle Masters assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. His parts can also connect to the various 5 mm holes on his partner, Titans Return Trypticon.

Hasbro stock renders and displays of the figure feature a painted orange cannon barrel, while Hasbro stock photos have the cannon barrel painted in bronze and TakaraTomy stock photos have his cannon barrel unpainted. The final product went with the bronze barrel.
