The eldest and strongest of the Autobot Brothers, X-Brawn comes into his own in tough situations or hazardous environments. He prefers to settle things in battle, rather than have a discussion. He transforms into a [[Mercedes-Benz M-Class#W163|Mercedes-Benz M-Class]] [[Sport utility vehicle|SUV]], and while undercover was owned by a human woman named Kelly, to whose ownership he often returns. He speaks with a thick southwestern accent (leading [[Side Burn]] to comment at one point "''Where does he come up with this stuff?''").

===Animated series===
X-Brawn debuted in the series opener "Battle Protocol", where he battled and defeated the [[Predacon (Transformers)|Predacon]] Slapper. After this he went on to become one of the most prominent Autobots in the series, often serving as the middle man between Side Burn's recklessness and [[Prowl (Transformers)|Prowl]]'s law-abiding streak. He and Prowl, with the aid of the Spy Changers, rescued Side Burn and [[Optimus Prime (Robots in Disguise)|Optimus Prime]] from a Predacon trap. On another occasion, X-Brawn managed to keep a high energy bomb out of [[Sky-Byte]]'s hands by blasting it into space.

When [[Optimus Prime (Robots in Disguise)|Optimus Prime]]'s brother, [[Ultra Magnus]], came to [[Earth]] and forced Prime into a combination that allowed him to share the power of the [[Autobot Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]], Magnus's link to the Matrix resulted in him inadvertently channeling its energy in the midst of a battle. That energy involved Prowl, Side Burn and X-Brawn, "supercharging" them into newly colored, more powerful bodies. After a brief amount of training, X-Brawn and the others were soon able to control this new ability, shifting to "Supercharge Mode" when an extra power boost was needed in battle. Their supercharged modes afforded them no advantage in their final battle with [[Galvatron]], however, as they were strung up and had their energy drained by him, until Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus merged into Omega Prime and began to defeat Galvatron at the Earth's mantle, in order to win the final battle.

During the course of the show, the vehicle based Autobots wear license plates with their [[Takara]] serial numbers on them (in Wildride's case "C-002"). When "supercharging", his front license plate (also seen on his left arm) is seen changing from "C-002" to "C024" (Super Wildride's serial number, minus its hyphen) without explanation.

A small [[Spy Changer]] version of X-Brawn was released for the RiD toy series, but it never appeared in the television series.

===Comics===
====Dreamwave Productions====
The character also put in a brief appearance in one comic book story in the Dreamwave Summer Special, but no more stories were published. The ''RiD'' lost a contest Dreamwave between itself and ''Beast Wars'' to gain a mini-series. Before either story line could get the series Dreamwave went out of business.

====Fun Publications====
In Viron 1103.12 Gamma, when Sky-Byte accidentally poisoned all of Earth's energon, X-Brawn and the other twelve Autobots had to downsize into Spy Changers. X-Brawn got the last laugh when he and Daytonus blew up the Predacons' energon stash!

Shattered Glass X-Brawn was created from the dying body of ''Shattered Glass'' [[Brawn (Transformers)|Brawn]] by a good fragment of Unicron as an agent of truth and enlightenment.

===Fun Publications===
X-Brawn was created when a good fragment of Unicron approached the defeated Optimus Prime and several of his dying Autobots with an offer of enlightenment. Brawn was reformatted into X-Brawn and dubbed the Champion. They were then transported to Cybertron where they defeated Rodimus Prime and his Autobot forces.

X-Brawn appeared in ''[[Another Light]]''. Brawn became X-Brawn when a good fragment of Unicron approached the defeated Optimus Prime and several of his dying Autobots with an offer of enlightenment. They were transported to Cybertron where they defeated Rodimus Prime and his Autobot forces. The Knights of Unicron were arresting the ''Shattered Glass'' Autobots when Unicron warned Nova Prime to be ready. Rodimus Prime returned, now allied with Primus, who transformed. Nova Prime ordered the Knights to attack Primus in the eyes before escaping into space. The Knights of Unicron were appointed as guardians of [[New Cybertron]].<ref>{{cite comic |colorist=Evan Gauntt|date=December/January 2016 |editor=Pete Sinclair |inker= Eryck Webb |issue= 66| letterer=Jesse Wittenrich |penciller=Eryck Webb|publisher=Fun Publications |story=Another Light Part 6 - The Future Buried|title=The Transformers Collectors Club| volume=1 |writer=Jesse Wittenrich & Pete Sinclair}}</ref>

===Toys===
Although no toy for ''Shattered Glass'' X-Brawn exists, his body design is based on ''Combiner War'' Rook with a new head.

An earlier concept for X-Brawn had him using the ''Generations'' Skids mold with the Crosscut head.
