Brawn is a homeroom teacher at the Autobot Academy with the talent Rage-Fueled Super Strength.

## Official Bio

*Brawn is an old dog, having fought in many battles, especially in the Combatronian Invasion alongside Kup. He's a tough bot that doesn't accept kind things, for him it's either be toughest or don't at all. His ability is to rage, basically the angrier he gets the tougher he becomes. His strength doubles along with his toughness, but his rage ability is short-lasting for a maximum of 20-30 minutes, and after he uses it he could fall unconscious due to exhaustion.*

## History

During the Combatron War, Brawn fought in the Primal Vanguard alongside Kup. Following the war, he acted as a hero using the name "Knuckleduster", before eventually coming to work for the Autobot Academy as one of their teachers. *During his time teaching, he grew to dislike Hot Rodimus, as well as League of Heroes member Knockdown for unknown reasons.*

### First Semester

For the new school year, Brawn was made the homeroom teacher of Class 3-A.

### Second Semester

*Rook told Hot Rodimus that Brawn was the one who was always angry after Rodimus claimed that he was in Festival Of Stars Pt. 1 Tournament.*

*In Festival Of Stars Pt. 2 The Gala! Brawn was relaxing in the faculty room when "Teletraan X" came looking for some of his students. Brawn hadn't seen them, but invited him to stay and chat. They talked about "Teletraan X's" origin before "Amp" and Silverbolt arrived in response to the message "Teletraan X" had sent. He took a dislike to "Amp", and it got worse when he showed him some of the Nitrox he invented, leading "Teletraan X" to leave with "Amp". Brawn didn't appreciate Silverbolt telling him to be nicer, but the Aerialbot left before he could say anything, leaving Brawn to mutter about how he wanted to just read newspapers alone He then took a walk, only to become angered when he saw Knockdown and return to the lounge. Once Scorch and Velocity arrived, Brawn expressed his lack of enthusiasm about the gala and was angered by their teasing him about needing to smile to the point he forgot who Rollout was when he showed up until the power went out due to TEKU attacking. Brawn went to go turn it back on with Rollout and Scorch, only to find there was nothing wrong with the generator itself. Angered by the fact something was going on below them, Brawn nearly punched something only for him to be told off by Rollout. The power was then restored by an Autotrooper, though the teachers were under the impression Scorch had done it with his kick, leading Brawn to remark that his punch could have done more.*

### The Siege- Aborted Timeline

During the Siege of Acadeimos Brawn was pinned down by Decepticons with Wrenchit, Lifeline, and Slicer. He told them to keep fighting, only to get shoot in the shoulder by a group of Seekers.

### The Siege- Revised Timeline

Brawn's fate in the original future no longer came about in the new timeline.

## Powers and Abilities

Brawn's talent allows him to gain super strength for 20-30 minutes when he becomes enraged. However, when his time super strong is up, there's a danger the ask might cause him to fall unconscious due to how much the talent overexerts him.

Brawn also shares his species to change form, taking on the form of a Cybertronian SUV.
