Fiction
Cloud
Brawn was one of the Autobots, the space-time guardians of Cloud World. Though he could be rather stubborn and impulsive, his comrades knew him as a brave and experienced warrior and a good friend. When the Decepticons of the Underground assaulted the city, Brawn was ambushed in Metropolis's seventh district. Raid The Minibot was badly wounded and the Decepticons managed to abduct SARA, the super-robotic being upon which the Autobots' prosperity relied upon. In her absence, the Autobots were at a loss on what to do next. Optimus declared that they would travel to the Underground and launch a counter-invasion to secure SARA's safe release. The very idea of going into the Underground baffled Brawn. When he voiced his disbelief, Optimus told his subordinates that he would travel into the Decepticon territory alone, as he felt SARA's capture was his fault. Unwilling to allow their beloved leader go into the vast, dangerous, and unmapped Underground on his own, the rest of the Autobots found their courage and volunteered to join him. Brawn also declared his intentions to join the rescue party, but Optimus advised against it, due to Brawn's injuries. Brawn insisted and, moved by his devotion, Optimus allowed him to come along. Resolve
After zeroing in on SARA's energy signature, a decrepit old building, Brawn, Optimus Prime and Hot Rodimus headed underground. While a team headed by Jazz blitzed the Decepticons on the building's main floor, Brawn's team infiltrated its basement covertly. They reached the inner sanctum were SARA was being kept only to find that Megatron had already wired her into his own body. The Decepticon leader revealed the extent of his megalomania, declaring that he would rule all of space-time, even if it meant destroying his home dimension in the process. Though they tried to stop him, both Hot Rodimus and Brawn were shoved away effortlessly by the newly empowered Megatron. Brawn was nearly knocked unconscious by the attack. His back-up disabled, Optimus Prime rammed Megatron, causing a disruption in SARA's energy and sending the combatants across dimensions. Leap
