Onslaught (G1)
- Onslaught is a Decepticon Combaticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Onslaught is what you'd call the "hands-off" type. He doesn't enjoy getting his mits dirty, but rather, Onslaught prefers the thrill of designing battle plans, strategies, and tactics, and then watching his Combaticon soldiers carry them out. While he typically crafts his strategies to exclude his direct involvement, Onslaught is no coward. When required, he will engage in battle with strength, cunning and earthquaking fury. While this darker more brutish side of Onslaught might lead some Decepticons into thinking he has a secret blood-lust stashed away in his circuits, truth be told, he's just really ticked off that he has to go out and do some actual fighting.
Onslaught can combine with his fellow Combaticons to form Bruticus.

After being exiled with Starscream and the rest of the Combaticons, Onslaught hatched a plan to take over Cybertron and use his back cannons to reconfigure the Space Bridge. The plan was to send Earth hurling into the Sun.
It didn't work.
Dreamwave continuity
Onslaught unleashed his considerable firepower against the Autobots during the Decepticon assault against Iacon. He managed to escape from the disaster instigated by Starscream only to be imprisioned millions of years later by Shockwave along with his fellow Combaticons. That is at least until Starscream freed them.
Toys
Generation 1
- Onslaught (1986)
- Japanese ID number: D-64
- Onslaught transforms into a dark green mobile anti-aircraft truck of made-up origin, armed with a large double-barrelled cannon mounted on the flatbed of his vehicle mode. He can also assume a base/gun emplacement mode with a ramp that smaller Combaticons can use. In an undocumented feature, this base mode can be connected to the Decepticon city Trypticon.
- In robot mode, Onslaught is armed with a long olive laser rifle and is accessorized by a small chest plate. He forms the central body component of Bruticus, protected by an even larger silver chest plate and Bruticus' head. He also comes with Bruticus' hands and feet.
- This mold was redecoed as Operation Combination Great Cannon, Robots in Disguise Mega-Octane, and Universe Mega-Octane.
Generation 2
- Onslaught (1993)
- In Generation 2, Onslaught was redecoed in a rather outlandish colour scheme of bright orange covered in purple camoflage, with purple replacing most of his olive and silver colours.
