Onslaught

Onslaught (オンスロート, Onsurōto) knows how fill the roll of a strict leader to keep the Combaticons in check nicely, since they are a fairly unruly mob. Precision, strategy, and cunning are his watchwords, and they'll be necessary to reign in his troops. Submitting himself to Shockwave's combiner experiments, he became the core: head & torso of the dangerously unstable gestalt form known as Bruticus.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
Onslaught joined the Combaticons in the closing battles of the Great War. He and Brawl helped Starscream ambush Optimus under one of the Warp Cannons, and dragged him before Megatron. After Megatron was mashed into the ground by Metroplex, he along with the rest of the Combaticons fell under Starscream's command.

They began a mission to assault an Autobot tanker, loaded with Energon the Autobots had managed to steal from the Decepticons. Onslaught's plan, which he had to keep reminding Starscream was his, called for the team to split up, as Swindle eliminated enemy scouts, Blast Off and Vortex would clear a path for Brawl to arrive on a transport and destroy the supports to the bridge the tanker was headed for, diverting it into an ambush led by Starscream. However Starscream bungled the plan by continuing the air assault despite the heavy anti-air guns, and Onslaught decided to continue on despite Starscream's retreat order. Once the tanker's anti-air guns disabled, the Combaticons merged into Bruticus so they could smash through the rest of the defenses surrounding the bridge. They disassembled to take the bridge itself, but the tanker was so badly damaged, they could do little more than attempt to guide its crash landing. Following the crash, Onslaught was arrested alongside his teammates by Starscream's henchmen, despite his protests that destroying half of the Energon inside was better than letting the Autobots have all of it.

Onslaught was later released alongside everyone else who opposed Starscream after Megatron was resurrected by Soundwave. He offered to lead the Combaticons after the fleeing Starscream, but Megatron had other plans; to recover Trypticon's power core. During the assault, Onslaught combined with the others again to assist their leader. Onslaught was aboard the Nemesis before the Decepticons' assault on the fleeing Ark, and became part of Bruticus as the giant attacked the Ark's engines. Bruticus killed off dozens of Autobots before being taken down by the combined effort of Jazz and Jetfire and was last seen flying off the Ark, the Combaticons' fate unknown.
