brawn is honestly has the most funniest "out of context" scenes ever,especially the scene were optimus throw him at megatron

I guess the Cybertronian version of the Achilles Heel would be the “Brawn Shoulder.”

I love how Brawn’s cameo in the Bumblebee movie shows him getting shot in the shoulder

"After Brawn's toy was discontinued in 1996, he was phased out of both the cartoon and comics" Please don't tell me that he was taken offline by cosmically-powered Starscream in the comics "In the comics he was one of a group of Autobots offlined by a Decepticon-controlled copy of Optimus Prime" Oh? Well that's a pleasant surprise. "He was brought back to life a few years later just in time to be deactivated again by cosmically-powered Starscream" OH COME ON!

For landing and gettin’ happy with Covergirl, Brawn is awarded my most enthusiastic ATTABOY

The fact that brawn is the first autobot to die in the media,make him such a heroic autobot not gonna lie

1986: dinked in the shoulder and drops dead 2018: hit in the shoulder so hard he goes flying into a wall but a minute later is running for the escape pods no worse for wear Brawn was always one of my favorites as a kid, loved his personality and being a pint-sized powerhouse who could manhandle even Megatron.

That IDW cover of Brawn clocking Starscream is one of my favourites during the Mike Costa era of that comic.

I'm pretty sure in one episode he even gets shot in the back of the head by Megatron's cannon and just slams into the side of a mountain and he's none the worst for wear, yet in the movie, he gets shot in the shoulder, instant death.

"Alright frog stroke swim swim,swim swim swim"-one of the most unique and funniest lines ever in the rid 2001 tbh

Brawn is an underrated autobot, and he can lift! TBH, brawn needs more attention and love by Hasbro+Takara. I just hope they make a masterpiece figure of him

“Just in time to be offlined by a cosmically powered Starscream” And another one to add to the list

Brawn was the original Transformer Dwarf, everything went to his Book of Grudges.

Another quick note about the ROTF version of Brawn: While he didn't appear as a robot in the film, you can still see him backing out of a trailer at the beginning of the movie in the Shanghai scene, along with Backfire, whom would be later released in the DOTM HA line; Brawn is also one of the Autobot drones that appear in the tie-in video game for ROTF.

"Now that,was a kick"- g1 brawn

His voice actor, Kirk Baily, from the Bumblebee movie passed away earlier this year, so it's unknown if he'll appear in later films. May he rest in peace!

This brawn is my 3rd favourite transformer, he just looks so cool and I love the "it's not the size of dog in the fight that matters, it's the size of the fight in the dog" type of personality he has.

Is it me, or does Brawn's appearance closely resemble Man at Arms from Masters of the Universe. The colors match perfectly and the shape of his helmet is spot on

My father had the original brawn toy. And he unintentionally started a tradition when he gave me the titans return one. Brawn holds a special place in my heart for that reason. I still have both, starting at the G1 toy as I write this.

My favorite Brawn moment: During "The Ultimate Doom", while on Cybertron trying to save Sparkplug, him and the others come to a dead end. Brawn doesn't stop running, says "I'll get the door!" and crashes through the barrier. 🤣

That movie version of the character looks awesome I must have missed that toy

A little fact:brawn in the 86's didn't killed by a shoulder wound,he actually got a shot in the neck,if you focus very well at his death scene

If there was a Beast Wars version of Brawn, I imagine his alt mode would be a honey badger.

I'm currently watching the G1 cartoon for the first time, and I want to say that it's INSANE how little love and respect Brawn gets in modern Transformers media. He's one of the most consistent and well written characters in the entire cartoon, something very few other characters can actually claim. He also has a lot more episodes to himself compared to other characters. Brawn unironically deserves to be up there with the other G1 greats and I really hope his recent movie appearance/design overhaul and the positive reaction from fans to it show Hasbro that Brawn should be in more stuff!

You know, when 3:45 rolled in, I was not looking at the video and its images (I was in another tab), so my first guess was that he was offlined by the cosmically powered Starscream, only to Chris to declare that it was the Decepticon copy of Prime, I was surprised.... only for 3:54 to come charging in to tell me that I guessed right after all 🤣🤣🤣

"Brawn had a child with a human woman" is not what I was expecting to hear today

THANKS YOU, CHRIS! Brawn is my favorite Autobot. He went out like a punk in the movie, but no other Autobot has chucked Soundwave, punched Starscream off a temple, then of all things, take Megatron's cannon AND use it on him. He's awesome!

Why do I have a feeling that "offlined by a Decepticon-controlled clone of Optimus Prime" is going to become the new "offlined by a cosmically-powered Starscream"?

So glad I stumbled on this channel last year truly no one else does transformers lore quite like you do. Keep it up Chris 👍

Awesome video on Brawn and fans online often joked about Brawn looking like Man-At-Arms from the original “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” series cuz both characters have the same colour scheme.

I just want to point out that "Bumblebee" Brawn looks a LOT like Marvel's Juggernaut.

I lost it when I saw Brawn in the opening of the Bumblebee movie. The designs had been changed to the point you could actually recognize them at a glance. He was such a great character throughout the first two seasons. Just the fact that he was about the same size as Bumblebee but taking on much larger Decepticons and beating them says a lot to how feisty he really was.

I think I really love G1 and original RID Brawn because the first reminded me of a badass dwarf in fiction and the RID Brawn was just hilarious

brawn. always outmatched but always game to throw hands gotta love a little guy who doesn't understand he's the little guy

There´s no video of Chris McFeely without a cosmically powered Starsream

LOVE brawn. Always reminded me of Ben grimm from the fantastic four. My fav line from him iirc was shock wave attacking him saying "prepare for extermination" (or something) and brawn replying "prepare for a very large headache" as he attempts to hit him with a girder 😂

Sadly the bumblebee movie brawn will be missed. Rest In Peace Kirk Baily You only gave us one line for an amazing character in the one movie and managed to make everyone live brawn again like he was in the 80s Till All Are One and Rest In Peace Kirk

Brawn is the first Transformer I could afford to buy as a kid in the 80s. 😎👍🏾

Jesus, imagine getting killed by a Decepticon-controlled copy of Optimus Prime AND a cosmically powered Starscream. Brawn really got the short end of the stick on that one, uh?

I didn't know Brawn appeared in so many universes, I somehow notice on Transformers Wiki!

Can't have g1 without brawn getting absolutely wrecked at least once per episode

owning the G1 toy in the past brought me here. watching the "Quirks & Features" guy's review of the '22 Defender, brought me back here.

I love his design!! 😎

Comically powered starscream, underbase powered starscream Getting this nearly every video

Man Kelly from Robots in disguise had such an amazing voice.

Brawn was my first Transformer in 84. I immediately broke his arm.

I've never cared about Brawn, but this episode has definitely sold me on him. I'll have to look into picking up that studio series toy.

Oh God...'A Cosmic Powered Starscream' ended another Autobots career!

Brawl getting with Covergirl was the most WTF moment I've ever had in a while

4:05 Although the Universe comic would abduct him at the last minute to have join the fight against Unicron.

Chris: Brawn was off-lined by a deception controlled Optimus Prime. Me: Ah he’s one of the few not taken out by… Chris: He was reactivated again only he taken out by a cosmically powered Starscream. Me: and there it is. Take a drink each time a transformer is taken out by a cosmically powered starscream.

He come back to life with all the autobot that die in the movie

I like Brawn and Juggernaut (Marvel) Domehead designs its not used that often, but needs to make a comback.

If there's one thing I like about Team Athenia in Transformers Animated is how a few members of the team have sort of like, Cybertronian Superpowers. Brawn - Super Strength. Hot Shot - Fire Manipulation. Ironhide - Retractable Armour. Same principle with Team Chaar. Credits to the producers with that. Good on them

Brawn was always one of my favorite autobots in g1. When he was just executed I was pretty upset. In fact that whole movie was upsetting

i find it strange that this is the first time i'm hearing that a transformer had a child with a human. not sure if i missed it in another episode but this feels rather significant for a random fact

Brawn is such a fun little character. And I absolutely love his Bumblebee movie redesign

To be specific, Brawn's alt mode is a Suzuki Jimny SJ20, which would later be recolored into the 1986 Autobot mini-vehicle Outback.

Brawn was also on The Lost Light. And I believe part of the mutiny

I knew nothing about this character, but seeing him 1-tap two different Decepticons at the same time alone tells me how strong this lad truly is. Dang that Micheal Bay movie design Brawn is actually REALLY good.

Speaking of Team Charr, I really want to hear about Strika. As far as I'm aware and can remember, she's the first main female villain in the Transformers series. Obviously, Nightbird has the honor of being the first female enemy in the series, but she was just a one-off character that never appeared after her starring episode. Strika meanwhile was one of the big villians at the latter half of Beast Machines.

Seeing him grab Megatron's arm cannon and blasting him with it was one of my favorite moments in the original series.

Oh wow! I didn't know X Brawn was based on Brawn himself! He was my fav character in RiD!

Hey, I do feel sorry for him getting blown up by Megatron. Thanks for showing us that. So when are you gonna start doing the basics on Cybertron & the Maximals

One of my absolute favorite Autobots alongside Windcharger, I liked their friendship and how each had chances to shine individually.

Braden is not only my favorite Autobot but also my favorite minibot,also I like Brawn's friendship. With Windcharger they represent the most awesome autobot duo ever also Brawn is also the Autobot demolitions specialist and he is also strong,rugged,very agile and brawl is also one of the strongest and macho autobots and the quintessentinal tough-bot.brawn also loves humor and never-say-die attitude helps blister the morale of his teammates,also I like the cartoon version better than the Marvel version,also thanks for sharing Chris 👌 up the good work and have a happy Saturday.☺💪👊

Ain’t nobody calling Brawn a Robot Chicken!

He’s grown into being one of my favorite characters after writing about him for so long in my fic.

Brawn is my boy. He was the first and one of the few Transformers I had as a kid. I love his little tough guy persona, but I hate when they try to make him tiny. I hate that "mini-bot" is still considered a scale rule. He turns into an SUV.... he should maybe be slightly shorter than Rawhide (yeah yeah, mass shifting, etc) .

My favorite thing about brawn is how he had several fights with Soundwave and won pretty much all of them.

He’s got John Silver energy. Also can we get a whole episode dedicated to Cosmically Powered Starscream’s victims?

Absolute favorite moment of Brawn was when he shot Megatron with his own fusion cannon. "Now that was a kick."

Brawns appearance in bumblebee made me fall in love with the little dude all over again. I hope another cartoon will give him a chance soon.

Fantastic video! Great job!👍🙏

Brawn was one of my all time favourites growing up, which made it all the more painful when he was the first of the original cast to go. I hadn't really thought of it, but in the Bumblebee movie, Brawn's only appearance ended with him getting shot in the shoulder, much like he was in the 86 movie.

To anyone still questioning about Brawn's toughness, I have some explanation from my understanding: - Brawn was killed by a blast from Megatron in pistol mode. We all know how strong Megatron is and always will be. His fusion cannon is one of the most iconic and powerful weapons in the franchise. In his pistol mode, all energy that is required for his robot mode can be used for his pistol mode. Therefore a blast from it would kill if not all, dozens of Transformers. Not to mention that Brawn along with Prowl, Ratchet & Ironhide were ambushed. If we are jumped on, we are more than likely in panic. And definitely vulnerable. Brawn can withstand most artillery. And Megatron's infamous fusion cannon isn't among that for damn sure. - If you take some look at Brawn's profile, his weakness includes electromagnetic & wave-based attacks. And if I'm not mistaking, Megatron's fusion cannon can easily launch such blasts. So there. - Brawn is a tough nut. That's undoubtedly true. But Megatron is definite among the toughest. Still. My point is more for reference that factual statement. Nevertheless, he may die from a blast. But he ain't weak. Just strong one comes across stronger one.

imagine comic brawl's kid coming home from school and seeing his dad in the driveway and his vehicle mode I can imagine the kids saying" come on Daddy pulled that trick on me already, it's a new material or scan a new alt mode!"

The Knickerbocker thing intrigues me. Did that company have a direct relationship with Takara to see the toy first released in Japan or was Hasbro an intermediary in this exchange?

Great Stuff as always!

I honestly thought the joke about Brawn was that his name was ironic because he was not as tough as he is said to be because of his death in the 86 movie.

Monty Python: "This is an X-Brawn!"

I've never planned on contributing to the TFwiki, since I know we have TF legends like yourself on there, but I couldn't help but notice the machinations of moderator "M Sipher". I think you'd be doing the fanbase a big favour if you kindly asked him to pull that giant stick out of his ass. Glad to see this channel still going strong. I wouldn't love TF nearly as much if it didn't have a consistent flow of enthusiasm pumped into it by its fanbase.

Brawn and Windcharger were my very first Transformers back in '84. I still have most of my figures but sadly, like in the movie, those two didn't make it.

Brawn is so great character!💪

Brawn- The Mr. Wonderful (Paul Orndorff) of the Transformers universe.

Brawn was my very first Transformers figure ever, since it was a gift from my uncle, I always played him as the sensei or mentor of the youngest Autobots, he was always there to teach them how to fight against the Decepticons, so I took it very deep when he was killed by the Starscream and Megatron in the original movie, but when Rodimus Prime defeat Galvatron by throwing out of Unicron I said loud in my head; BRAWN THIS ONE IS FOR YOU

This cybertronian is the living definition of "Lol No."

Great video this week! I always loved Brawn in the original G1 cartoon. It was great to see that size never mattered to him. He took on bots who outclassed him, but he never gave up. His death in Transformers the Movie was a shocking end for the character. But he’s still my favorite Minibot from the original series.

Oh wow I had that RID Brawn and I had no idea it was supposed to be Brawn! I think I got it at a yard sale somewhere like 20 years ago. It had some cool details and engineering but the kibble was ridiculous. I'm loving the new SS Brawn right now!

Good stuff as usual Chris

To quote Pipes, "That's a bot who know's how to stand!"

Soundwave: Brawn is my true rival Blaster: Hey what about me? Soundwave: Annoying kid at best

Can't wait for the next one

Brawn, Ironhide, Bulhead, Hound: basically the same guy

Yes! Another stamp on my "cosmically-powered Starscream" bingo card!

I honestly love his look in the BumbleBee movie

"Taken offline by a Decepticon controlled copy of optimus prime" Phew. “Just in time to be offlined by a cosmically powered Starscream” DOH!

One of my all time favorites.

Love those original chrome hook hands... :)

I'd advocate for returning Brawn's status as a core member of the Autobots. And perhaps to pair him up with Bulkhead for a friendly rivalry of strength, like the dynamic between Ben Grimm and the Hulk. I think it would be a fun dynamic to include for the Autobots. I noticed in some continuities most of the Autobot dynamics are between them and their human counterparts, which isn't inherently bad, but I would love to see more of the Autobots interacting with each other.
