Brawl (G1)
| This article is about the original Brawl. For the Brawl from the 2007 movie, see Brawl (Movie). |
- Brawl is a Decepticon and a Combaticon in the Generation 1 continuity family.
If Brawl's on the battlefield and you can't hear him coming it's time to check your audio receptors, because chances are you've gone deaf. Brawl's main distinguishing characteristic is VOLUME. No matter if he's talking {yelling}, moving {clanking and rattling}, or fighting {yelling, clanking, rattling, and blasting) you're sure to hear him doing it, as is anyone else in the county. As if that wasn't enough, he also a ball of barely contained rage and violence with a hair-trigger temper. This makes even his comrades wary, but it does make him a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield... as long as the mission doesn't require stealth.
Brawl combines with his fellow Combaticons to form Bruticus.

Generation 1
Marvel Comics continuity
On his first mission on Earth, Brawl was tripped up by a bunch of vine creatures, crystallized, and blown to smithereens. Luckily for him, this was all in virtual reality. Unluckily for him, Brawl learned nothing about caution from this experience. A few days later, he mouthed off at Megatron. Megatron proceeded to pop Brawl's head like a ripe melon.
He got better.
