Brawn

Brawn is one of the original Autobots who crash-landed on Earth aboard the Ark after a catastrophic battle with the Decepticons, awakening millions of years later to continue the war on a new world. Small in stature but renowned among his comrades for his exceptional physical strength and fearless determination, he was present from the very first clash between Autobots and Decepticons on Earth.

Few characters can claim they were there from the very beginning — Brawn debuted in the landmark first issue of The Transformers in 1984, making this Bronze Age warrior one of the original faces of a franchise that has kept rolling for over four decades. Sharing those earliest, collector-treasured pages with icons like Optimus Prime, Jazz, Starscream, and Prowl, Brawn has been part of some genuinely significant comics real estate, with two key issues to their name. Across Marvel UK's run and into crossover territory like G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers, Brawn has proven to be a durable presence in the Transformers comics universe — not a headliner, perhaps, but exactly the kind of steadfast, from-the-start character that devoted collectors love to track down and celebrate.
