Description:

Blast Off is a Combaticon, and combines with his fellow Combaticons to form Bruticus (right arm). Blast Off is a deep thinker as well as empath, though he does not outwardly demonstrate this easily. A complex character, he does enjoy quiet time pondering life’s great questions, though he is happiest when he can share his philosophical view points with others, particularly Onslaught, who shares similar interests. Blast Off possesses a powerful shuttle mode that makes him a formidable opponent in space.

Back Story:

Blast Off and the Combaticons first joined the Decepticons when they helped Starscream and his trine rescue Megatron from the cell block in Iacon’s Command Center, where they were also being held as prisoners. Blast Off’s early and pre-war experiences taught him that most mechs did not share his philosophy in life: to strive to live according to higher ideals. Many had proved themselves to be highly untrustworthy, and even manipulative – something which caused him to alienate himself from the populace at large. The only mechs he could completely trust were his fellow Combaticons. After joining the Decepticons, Blast Off discovered a larger circle of friends with whom he could share his deepest thoughts and feelings.

Description:

Brawl is a Combaticon, and combines with his fellow Combaticons to form Bruticus (left leg). Brawl’s penchant for jumping into the middle of a battle without hesitation, all guns blazing, has earned him a reputation for being loud, violent and quick-tempered. His preference for blowing things up, combined with his impressive strength and his resistance to most forms of artillery, makes him a highly effective and dangerous ground assault warrior. However, among friends he is as loyal and compassionate as he is tough, and surprisingly he can also be an excellent listener.

Back Story:

Brawl and the Combaticons first joined the Decepticons when they helped Starscream and his trine rescue Megatron from the cell block in Iacon’s Command Center, where they were also being held as prisoners. Brawl’s strong physical build and battle-ready instincts have helped his fellow Combaticons fight their way out of many precarious situations, though since joining the Decepticons he has put his talents to use fighting for higher ideals.

Description:

Vortex is a Combaticon, and combines with his fellow Combaticons to form Bruticus (left arm). Vortex is highly intelligent and skilled in the art of interrogation, with a knack for uncovering the true motivations and mental states of his subjects. A little eccentric, yet also high-spirited, Vortex enjoys finding out what makes others tick – a very useful skill when dealing with the enemy, as he’ll often use their own weaknesses against them, and will also employ various tactics to influence them into giving up any secret. Often times, the enemy isn’t even aware of what is going on until it is too late! By the same token, he can use his special talents to help his fellow Decepticons deal with their own doubts or insecurities by revealing to them the psychological basis for their problems and then offering them pertinent advice.

Back Story:

Vortex and the Combaticons first joined the Decepticons when they helped Starscream and his trine rescue Megatron from the cell block in Iacon’s Command Center, where they were also being held as prisoners. Vortex’s willingness to experience life on the wilder side has landed him and his team mates in trouble on a number of occasions – that is, until they joined the Decepticons, where he was finally able to channel his high energy and naturally inquisitive mind into more constructive pursuits, such as helping the Decepticon cause.

Onslaught is a Combaticon, and also a combiner, so he has the ability to merge with his fellow Combaticons to form Bruticus (torso).
