Series: Robots in Disguise
Allegiance: Autobot
Categories: Deluxe
Year: 2001

Strength wins!
X-Brawn is extremely tough and very strong. He can withstand the harshest elements and muscle his way through the worst situations. Lots of talking and speeches annoy him - he wants to know just the facts, so that he can get out there and punch out some Decepticons. He's a martial arts master with a left arm that can do serious damage to anyone in his path.

Remarks: Supermode X-Brawn is a repaint of RID Deluxe X-Brawn, so look there for the full review. Just a few words on the differences here. Instead of a grey vehicle mode with a grey-and-green robot mode, X-Brawn now sports a white car mode with racing decals and a mostly white (with green) robot mode. Apart from the colour changes he's the same excellent robot he was in his first incarnation.

X-Brawn's colour change came as a result of a confrontation with Ultra Magnus, where he and his fellow Autobot Brothers were suffused with Matrix energy and received a power-up. By the end of the cartoon X-Brawn could switch back and forth between his two incarnations at will. Personally I do like this supermode version a tiny bit better, but both are excellent figures. So I recommend getting at least one version of this RID toy.
