Onslaught (WFC)
| The name or term "Onslaught" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Onslaught (disambiguation). |
- Onslaught is a Decepticon from the War for Cybertron portion of the Aligned continuity family.
The Combaticons are a fairly unruly mob, and it takes a strict leader to keep them in check. Thankfully, Onslaught fills that roll nicely. Precision, strategy, and cunning are his watchwords, and they'll be necessary to reign in his troops. Submitting himself to Shockwave's combiner experiments, he became the core of the dangerously unstable gestalt form known as Bruticus.
Fiction
Exodus
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. Bruticus was later repaired and deployed at Praxus and spearheaded the Nova Cronum massacre. Exodus

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!", but was eventually defeated by the Autobots.

Toys
Generations
- Decepticon Bruticus (multi-pack, 2012)
- This San Diego Comic-Con 2012 exclusive pack contains all five Combaticons. Although the general vibe of the set is game-accurate colors, Onslaught is actually substantially less accurate as an individual, sacrificing his own colors to better serve as Bruticus' head and torso.
- This toy was "redecoed" into its own mass-release deco, below, as well as into a Generation 2-styled Onslaught. It was later retooled into Impactor.
- Onslaught (Deluxe, 2012)
- Onslaught transforms from a blue and green Cybertronic truck to a robot. He combines with his fellow Combaticons to form the torso of Bruticus. His vehicle's roof-mounted cannon can be held in robot mode, plug into the back of Bruticus, or combine with the weapons of the other Combaticons to form a giant Sonic Cannon.
Notes
- At one point, Exodus calls Onslaught a Constructicon, but this seems likely to be an error 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 glitch causes Onslaught (or rather Leader class characters using his "Tactical Rig" model) to be immune to the Scout's Mark target ability in competitive multiplayer while in robot mode, but it works when in vehicle mode.
