Brawn is gunned down by Starscream
Brawn is one of the original Autobots that travelled to Earth under Optimus Prime's command in the Transformers cartoon series. Despite being one of the smaller Autobots, he is among the strongest. In Transformers: The Movie however, he didn't have much opportunity to prove his strength as he was the first Autobot to die in the film. When the Decepticons board an Earth-bound Autobot shuttle, Megatron transforms into his gun mode and Starscream uses him to shoot Brawn dead.
