Fiction

Onslaught was put into stasis lock under Crystal City with the rest of Bruticus Maximus when Shockwave's combination experiment proved unsuccessful. After Devastator destroyed Crystal City, Bruticus was revived and sent to Kalis. But the Autobots won, with Optimus Prime, Jazz and Sideswipe taking down the giant. Sideswipe boasted he tore off Bruticus's head, which was formed by Onslaught. Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron

Noticeably lacking in fandom shout-outs.

Onslaught is an unlockable character for the Nintendo DS version of War for Cybertron (Decepticon version), unlocked by finding a disc in the mission "Reactivating the Energon Bridge" (requires a Heavy class character). Like the other unlockable characters, he can replace any of the other Decepticons in the campaign mode.

Onslaught defended the Dark Energon injection machines. Wielding a large hammer, he introduced himself to his foes with a simple, "Get ready for an ONSLAUGHT!"

Notes

• At one point Exodus calls Onslaught a Constructicon, but this seems likely to be a typo as the Combaticon name is used later.

• Onslaught is usable in both the Autobot and Decepticon versions of the War for Cybertron games for the DS. Used only for multiplayer, bonus missions and Arena mode in the Autobot version and used in Multiplayer, Arena mode, and campaign in the Decepticon version.

• A lot of fans tend to like playing as Onslaught. He is considered the most played DLC character in Transformers: War for Cybertron.
