Brawn (ROTF)
| The name or term "Brawn" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Brawn (disambiguation). |
- Brawn is an Autobot from the Revenge of the Fallen franchise in the live-action film continuity family.
Brawn lives to pit himself against physical challenges and to prove his mighty strength. In his opinion, the Autobot alliance with N.E.S.T. is a great thing, as it gives him ready opportunity to do just that. Brawn possesses special indestructible fists that he's dying to put to the test against the legendary Decepticon powerhouse Rampage.
Fiction
Titan Magazines Revenge of the Fallen comics
Brawn, along with Smokescreen and Wideload, had the misfortune to be on duty at NEST's South African prison when Bludgeon staged a jailbreak! The Autobot took charge, telling his partners things were likely to get ugly, and ordered Smokescreen to stay behind him while he, having tougher armour, soaked up enemy firepower. Unfortunately, it proved too much and despite his determination, Brawn fell before Bludgeon's might. He would have died if reinforcements hadn't turned up, and was horrified when (to prevent civilian casualties) those reinforcements let the Decepticons go, in full view of the human media. Inside Out!
IDW Comics
Brawn, at some point, was captured and brainwashed by the Initiative into being one of their soldiers. His colours were altered and he was thrown at an Autobot/NEST team in the Initiative's final battle. Nefarious issue 5 Nefarious issue 6
Along with the other brainwashed Autobots, he was eager to return to battle but Optimus told them they still needed to recuperate after the mental trauma they'd suffered. Rising Storm issue 1 While Optimus and his team went to save Sam Witwicky from a Decepticon attack, Brawn and the other refugees remained on Diego Garcia, nostalgically staring at pictures from Cybertron's past. In their docile state, they were found and killed by Shockwave. Rising Storm issue 3
Toys
Revenge of the Fallen
- Brawn (Deluxe, 2010)
- Japanese ID number: RA-29
- Accessories: 2 pistols
- Brawn transforms into a NEST Hummer HX attack vehicle. He is armed with a pair of removable pistols with grooves in the handles (which, in an undocumented feature, can be clipped to the thin ridges on his back or shoulder kibble) and a non-removable machine gun that can be positioned to aim over either shoulder in robot mode and is mounted on his roof in vehicle mode. The bars in the back are also compatible with 3mm clip-on weapons featured in later Revenge of the Fallen and 2010 Transformers toys. His robot head is based on a Grunt.
- This mold was also used to make Fallback for the 2010 Transformers line.
Notes
- Brawn's overall design and color scheme are of course an homage to his G1 counterpart.
- Brawn's design appears to have been used as the basis for the Robot Powered Machines-original character Rollbar.
