(Bruticus is referred to as one of the 9 Decepticon Demon Generals. This terminology, accompanied with Violen Jygar's supernatural origin and the presence of dead Decepticons in the ranks implies that Bruticus had died previously to Zone and was brought back to life.)
Bruticus was selected by Violen Jygar as one of his 9 Decepticon Demon-Generals. Rebuilt with more powerful armor and weaponry, Bruticus was dispatched by Violen Jygar to attack the Autobot's base on Planet Zone and steal their Energon Z, a rich new energy-source.

Trivia
- Before the Combaticons were animated, there were apparently two different character model sheets made up for them. The ones we know use the toy heads, but bodies that, for whatever reason, have little resemblance to the actual vehicles or robot modes of the actual Combaticon figures. Another one appears to be based heavily on the toys... but with new heads. These went unused in any media.
