Description: The Combaticons are a unit of fierce Decepticon soldiers, operating with (mostly) military precision under the watchful eye of the tactically brilliant Onslaught. They have their own headquarters, working fairly independently from most Decepticon affairs. This allows Blast Off, Vortex, Brawl, and Swindle to do their "hobbies" with plenty of room, without any distractions or restrictions besides Onslaught's own rules. The Headquarters is massive, well equipped, and tailored sections to each combaticon including commons. As a combiner team, all five Combaticons can fuse together to form Bruticus.

Allegiance: The combaticons are all war criminals, kill count totaling hundreds of millions. None of them are nice and all of them are in the Decepticon faction for very different reasons but ultimately boil down to one thing: Cybertronians is the superior species and others must fall. They all love war for very different reasons and all of them are very confident in their faction. These are not nice bots and they never will be. All of the combaticons ethics are non-existent: There is no honor amongst any of them and all five are more focused on themselves to care much about others. Bombing civilian infrastructure, no concern of collateral, pillaging or raiding post mission- Each of the five have their own way of being worthy of the decepticon title and being awful.

Primary Function: Warrior

Height: 70ft

Personality: Bruticus combines the personalities of the Combaticons, all horrendous war criminals, into one unquestioningly obedient super-warrior. Bruticus extracts only the most basic analogous trait of their group: their love of war. But he's not very good at taking initiative on his own. Bruticus is every military commander's dream: an unthinking, unstoppable weapon of war who will do anything he's told. Only if he knew what to do after pulverizing the target.

Abilities: Bruticus is incredibly strong. He can pulverize a suspension bridge with one 14,000 psi punch. He can lift up to 500,000 pounds. He uses Onslaught's powerful sonic stun-gun, which can smash a hillside to dust with a single blast. His armor is impervious to most artillery and radiation. Contains missile launchers on his back capable of shattering most materials.

Weaknesses: Bruticus is slow and not very agile. He is not a creative thinker, and can sometimes even be a hindrance in battle if not properly prepared with instructions. He tends to stand around looking confused in the middle of a battle if nobody is there to tell him what to do.

Components: Onslaught - Torso, Vortex - Left Arm, Brawl - Left Leg, Blast Off - Right Arm, Swindle - Right Leg

Notes: When combined, none of Bruticus components can talk outside of the gestalt. Bruticus is a separate mind and being from the combaticons but only exist when the combaticons are combined, otherwise Bruticus is in a sleep like state that binds the 5 together but has no true consciousness. None of the combaticons can talk while fused as Bruticus, Bruticus can hear their thoughts though.

# Function: Combaticon Leader # Height: 32ft # Personality: Onslaught is a devout perfectionist and brilliant tactician who believes victory is decided in the planning phase, not on the battlefield. He prefers the intellectual war games of the mind to real combat, content to observe his Combaticons carry out his meticulously crafted strategies from a safe distance. His soldiers consider him aloof, even dreamy, but they follow his instructions to the letter, because the alternative is far worse. When a plan falls apart, Onslaught is forced into the fray, and the reserved thinker gives way to a relentless, furious fighter whose earthquaking rage terrifies even his fellow Decepticons. Those who know him understand it isn't bloodlust driving him. He's just enraged that someone ruined his perfect plan.

Appearance:

Onslaught's armor is a matte mix of a dark blue, black, and green, accented by silver and tan detailing throughout his frame. He has a red visor that he never takes off and a black battlemask. Onslaught transforms into mobile anti-aircraft missile trailer armed with a large double-barreled cannon mounted in addition to missile launchers.

Missles' range is 6,500 miles with independently targetable shells. In robot mode, he uses a sonic stun-gun, which is capable of crumbling a hillside with one blast.

# Function: Munitions Expert # Height: 20ft # Personality: Capitalist first, Decepticon second, Swindle is a con-man, an opportunist, a hustler—or as he would put it, an entrepreneur. Unlike his fellow Combaticons, Swindle isn't a devotee of war per se; he just loves all the opportunities it presents to him for making a profit. He's an expert on all manner of weaponry and their market prices, and he prides himself on being able to sell anything to pretty much anybody. He enjoys the war for the profits but isn't particularly concerned if it ends. After all, there will always be a demand for a black market.

Appearance: Swindle’s armor is a vivid blend of golden yellow and deep violet, accented by metallic gray and black mechanical detailing throughout his frame. His optics glow a bright purple. Swindle transforms into a tan FMC XR311 combat support vehicle. He features a large arm-mounted plasma cannon that he typically hides unless for combat. The cannon can compress and go into his arm, concealment. In robot mode, he is armed with both weapons, which are used as hand-held artillery.

Abilities: Swindle is an expert of most known forms of weaponry, and their currentp ricing. Also an experienced salesman. Despite what most may seem, he is significantly good at handling his money- earning the right to be the combaticons treasurer and supplier. He knows how to get most weapons functional to the point of capable of building his own to supply his teammates personally.

# Function: Space Warrior # Height: 30ft # Personality: Blast Off soars through the vast vacuum of outer space feeling literally and figuratively above any other being- of sentience or not. He exudes an aristocratic air, believing that the problems of others are too petty and foolish for him to be concerned with. He appears quite happy in his role, orbiting hundreds of miles away from his comrades. But his happiness is an act, a disguise he uses to hide his long-distance lonliness. His aloof and superior is a front that prevents the other Decepticons from knowing his true feelings. None of this interferes with his performance as a space-based sniper, raining destruction down onto planet-bound targets. Perhaps because of the remoteness of his targets, perhaps because that's just the way he is, Blast Off feels not the least trace of remorse about his actions.

Appearance: Blast Off’s armor is a sleek blend of brown and violet, accented by black mechanical detailing throughout his frame. He has a purple visor and a brown battlemask. He turns into a space shuttle.

Abilities: In shuttle mode, Blast Off is capable of reaching esscape velocity and stay in orbit up to eight months. Top speed in this mode is 26,000 mph. He is additionally equipped with a powerful and accurate x-ray laser that can hit targets up to 12,000 miles away from orbit. He also carries relaying equipment that allows over-the-horizon communication between Decepticons on the surface. In robot mode, he uses an ionic blaster, which shoots a beam of highly charged particles that disrupts the flow of electricity in anything of an electrical nature.

</BLAST OFF>

Function: Ground Assault

Height: 28ft

Personality: Brawl is loud in every sense of the word. Whether he's talking, moving, or fighting, he produces a constant torrent of grating, clanking, booming noise that irritates everyone nearby, friend and foe alike. Paired with a hair-trigger temper and savage, barely contained fury, he's as unpleasant to be around as he is terrifying to face in battle. He pushes around anyone weaker than him without a second thought, and his temper turns against Decepticons just as readily as Autobots if one happens to be standing in his way. Despite all this, he is a devastatingly effective warrior, and Onslaught frequently employs him to spearhead Combaticon offensives.

Appearance: Brawl's armor is a matte military green and gunmetal grey nightmare. He has an orange visor and a grey battlemask. He transforms into a Leopard 1A3 battle tank.

Abilities: Brawl possesses enormous strength and is resistant to most conventional artillery. His turret-mounted gun shoots a shell up to range of 600 miles with an explosive force of 200 Ibs. of TNT. His rear-mounted twin sonic cannon fires 300-decibel bursts of concentrated sound

# Function: Interrogation # Height: 26ft # Personality: Vortex loves to instill fear in his captives. He's studied the art of interrogation, and his tactics capitalize on his victims fear of pain and death to squeeze information out of them. In helicopter mode, he would dangle them over treacherous terrain while spinning about wildly, occasionally ripping them shred by shred with his wind funnels while dangling. Vortex has psychopathic tendencies, incapable of processing empathy and always wanting to pick others apart from the inside out. He's quite emotional, often sadistically giddy. His sadism is on par to at least half the decepticon armada.

Appearance: Vortex's armor is a rough mix of bright silver and turquoise, his entire frame always scuffed in one way or another- He has a red visor and a silver battlemask. He has 4 rotors on his back. He transforms into a Kaman SH-2 Seasprite.

Abilities: In helicopter mode, Vortex is highly maneuverable and travels at speeds of 300 mph for up to 1,200 miles. Rotor blades possess the ability to create 200-300 mph wind funnels that he has directional control over. He's also additionally armed with twin cannons.
