Title:
Onslaught Bruticus
Description:
Onslaught (Voyager Class, 2016)
Accessories: Two cannons
Known designers: Shogo Hasui (TakaraTomy)
Part of the first wave of Combiner Wars product for 2016, Onslaught is a heavy retool of Hot Spot, replacing most the robot mode’s parts from the waist up and turning the vehicle mode backwards, resulting in a transformation into an anti-aircraft truck rather than a fire truck. Being a Combiner Wars Voyager, he can combine with any four of that line’s Deluxes, though he is meant to combine with his fellow Combaticons to form Bruticus. His guns can combine end-to-end to form a larger gun for Bruticus. While it may seem as if his turret cannot rotate, folding the combiner chestplate parts at the side of the truck mode up will allow it to do so.
When Hasbro originally announced the figure at BotCon 2015, he was advertised as having a tan Bruticus chestplate for a Generation 1 Onslaught-accurate color scheme as the first release and a silver chestplate for a Generation 1 Bruticus-accurate color scheme as a running change. Instead, only the version with a silver chest plate ever made it to retail, with the tan chestplate version never being released. He and the last three waves of Combiner Wars Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up at TJ Maxx at reduced prices.
While this toy officially omits the base mode of his G1 self, many fan mode base configurations exist to homage the G1 toy and even dock with Titan Class Trypticon.
Though Onslaught’s wave was scheduled for a first quarter 2016 release, it arrived on U.S. store shelves in late 2015.
Onslaught was redecoed into Unite Warriors Dolrailer and retooled as TFSS Bludgeon. The original version of the mold was retooled as Pyra Magna, which in turn was redecoed into Megaempress, and differently retooled as Power of the Primes Inferno. This tooling also served as the model for Shattered Glass Soundwave in "Epilogue Two”.
