Summary
WARNING! Spoilers ahead for Transformers #10TheTransformersfaced one of their greatest challenges in theEnergon Universewhen the combiner Devastator formed for the first time in the new continuity. Now, Skybound is teasing another group of combiners in the Energon Universe,as another group of fan-favorite Decepticons could be slowly assembling for their ultimate form.
Coming from the creative team of Daniel Warren Johnson, Jorge Corona, Mike Spicer and Rus Wooton,Transformers#10 picks up the story of Shockwave, recently arrived onEarth thanks to the bridge from Cybertron. Shockwave isn’t the only Decepticon to step through, as he is also joined by the Combaticons Onslaught and Brawl.
The Combaticons combine into their ultimate form Bruticus, one of the most powerful Transformers of all. Fortunately for the Autobots, it doesn’t appear that all of the Combaticons joined Shockwave through the bridge portal, and Brawl was damaged as stepped through, being cut in half after the Autobots damaged the bridge and closed the portal.
Combined into their ultimate form Bruticus, and the Combaticons become an even more formidable force on the battlefield.

Bruticus is made up of the Combaticons Onslaught, Vortex. Brawl, Blast Off and Swindle
Now thatShockwave has brought Cybertron to Earth, the possibility of the Combaticons coming together and forming Bruticus just went up considerably. The Autobots are already reeling from theirdefeat at the hands of Shockwave, so throwing another combiner into the mix could lead to even further disaster for Optimus Prime and company.The Constructicons previously gave the Autobots a run for their money whenthey combined into Devastator, barely being stopped by Optimus Prime, after he got a super-charge thanks to the sacrifice of Sparkplug Witwicky.
The Combaticons are deadly enough on their own, with their alt-modes based on military vehicles such as tanks and attack choppers making each a formidable opponent. Combined into theirultimate form Bruticus, and the Combaticons become an even more formidable force on the battlefield. The only saving grace for the Autobots in this regard is that Brawl is currently damaged, having been cut in half while attempting to step through the portal. The limited Energon reserves are preventing both the Autobots and Decepticons from repairing their comrades in a timely fashion, although Shockwave’s plans could change that in the very near future.
The Energon Universe creators have shown considerable restraint in rolling out the Autobot and Decepticon casts inTransformers, never overburdening the reader with too many characters appearing at once.

Energon Universe Stakes Continue To Rise
Of course, the Autobots have their own combiners to call upon:the Aerialbots, who combine to form Superion, or the Protectobots, who combine to form Defensor.Yet the Energon Universe creators have shown considerable restraint in rolling out the Autobot and Decepticon casts inTransformers, never overburdening the reader with too many characters appearing at once. Each is introduced in a way that feels important and significant,making each robot’s first appearance in the new continuitya major event. Whenever Bruticus makes hisofficial Energon Universe debut, it could spell disaster for theTransformers.
