Transformers

Afterburst is a Combaticon and a member of the giant combiner robot Bruticus in the Transformers universe. He typically transforms into an anti-aircraft gun vehicle, often depicted as a Flakpanzer Gepard.

Within the Combaticons, Afterburst is often portrayed as excitable and impulsive, eager to engage in battle. This eagerness, while sometimes beneficial, can also lead to recklessness and poor strategic decisions.

As part of Bruticus, Afterburst usually forms one of the combiner's arms. His function within the combined form is to contribute to Bruticus's overall firepower and aggression, complementing the other Combaticons' strengths and weaknesses.

Afterburst's appearances vary slightly across different Transformers continuities, but his core characteristics as a Combaticon anti-aircraft gun who forms part of Bruticus and possesses a hyperactive personality remain fairly consistent.
