Bruton
- Bruton is an alien from the Blackthorne portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Fiction
The Transformers in 3-D
In the misty past, the Destructons were defeated by the Logicons and sealed within a dimensional barrier. Bruton appears to have spent most of his time throwing himself against the barrier which sealed them in. Eventually, two Andegean scientists stumbled on the barrier and, when they fell under attack from some Kalkar soldiers, were tricked into releasing the Destructons. Bruton wasted no time in using his club on the soldiers, and Lord Imperious Delirious finished off the last of the scientists. Annoyed by the yammering Logicon warning beacon, Bruton picked it up and tossed it into space.
The message made its way into the hands of the Autobots, who sent teams out to locate Metascan Alpha, home of the Logicons. One of these teams, led by Ultra Magnus, reached a remote world only to find it under Destructon attack. The Autobots attacked the four Destructons, and Bruton knocked Repugnus and Grotusque flying with his club. Realising they were outclassed, the Autobots retreated back to one of the world's moon with the Destructons in pursuit. There the Destructons encountered Cyclonus and the Terrorcons and attacked them too. Bruton destroyed their ship with one blow of his Confusion Club. With little other choice, the Autobot and Decepticons formed a truce, ready to fight the Destructons. The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3

Bruton was constructed by the Lunartrix who used him and his immense strength as manual labor. Lord Imperious Delirious liberated him from his servitude, and rebuilt him to be a Destructon. Delirious

After apologizing for his treatment of the pair, Bruton served them energon while Lord Imperious explained the Destructons and invited the two Cybertronians to join them. When it looked like the pair were going to turn him down, Bruton and the other Destructons lurked in the background to prevent their escape. Delirious The pair proved resistant to the Delirious Fire, so Bruton moved in to attack, only to promptly have a hole blown through him by Rampage. Lord Imperious Delirious later connected Bruton and Medusa up to the navicomp he'd stolen, intending to use its reformatting protocols on them. clarity
Notes
- At the Botcon 2014 retrospective panel, it was revealed by Pete Sinclair that there were two Bruton figures planned as exclusives with both being categorized in the "what we almost got" group. The proposals included using the Fall of Cybertron Grimlock and First Edition Bulkhead molds. To explain why they did not get produced, Pete Sinclair asked the audience how many of them knew who Bruton was with only one person raising their hand, thus demonstrating the character's obscurity as the reason.
