Bruticus (WFC)
| The name or term "Bruticus" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Bruticus (disambiguation). |
- Bruticus is a Decepticon combiner from the Aligned continuity family.
Bruticus was the first combiner created by the mad scientist Shockwave. For all his strength and power, however, the monstrous gestalt has only the most rudimentary mind, capable of wanton destruction and little else.
Bruticus is the combined form of five Combaticons:
- Onslaught (center head & body)
- Brawl (left leg)
- Vortex (left arm)
- Swindle (right leg)
- Blast Off (right arm)
He is also known as Bruticus Maximus.
Fiction
Aligned novels
Shockwave created Bruticus Maximus when working in Crystal City. Though Bruticus's individual components were intelligent, the combined form was a monster who had trouble telling friend from foe, and he was put into stasis.
Following Crystal City's destruction during the war with the Autobots, Bruticus was revived and was ordered to serve on the battlefield at Praxus. During this battle, he took wounds that would prove to be fatal to any other Transformer, and survived, albeit heavily injured. He would not be so lucky during his deployment at Kalis, with Optimus Prime, Jazz and Sideswipe dismembering Bruticus to the point it was believed he would never combine again. Sideswipe boasted he tore off his head. Not even this would destroy the combiner for good; Bruticus later saw action at the forefront of the Nova Cronum massacre.Exodus

Notes
- Early on in Exodus, Bruticus Maximus and Onslaught are referred to as "Constructicons". The Constructicons here are a larger team than normal, but given that this description shortly follows a paragraph talking about definite, actual Constructicons and that the Combaticons' team name IS mentioned later, this seems a likely error by Alpha Trion or Alex Irvine.
- At the moment, Bruticus appears to appear as a power-up in levels where the player uses Vortex. His abilities will include a flamethrower in one hand, using Vortex's spinning rotor blades a shield, and releasing a shockwave.
- The Bruticus toy has been shown in official images with two different color schemes, one more game accurate than the other. Which one (or if both) will see final retail release remains undetermined.
