Brawn

Few characters capture the spirit of a beloved franchise's deep roster quite like Brawn, who made their Modern Age debut in Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #8 (2003), brought to the page by the creative team of Adam Patyk, Brad Mick, Joe Ng, and James Raiz. Though their catalog footprint is compact — spanning a tight 2003–2004 window across IDW's More Than Meets the Eye titles and the official guide book — Brawn keeps genuinely iconic company, sharing pages with the likes of Megatron, Ironhide, Cliffjumper, and Bluestreak. For collectors and completists diving into IDW's early Transformers continuity, that kind of company alone signals that Brawn belongs to the beating heart of the Generation One universe, and tracking down those appearances is a rewarding corner of the modern Transformers library.
