Brimstone is a fictional character in the Transformers: Cybertron series. His name in Transformers: Galaxy Force is Tera Shaver (often erroneously misspelled as "Terra Shaver").

Brimstone's is only armed with his beast mode's claws, and Cyber Key-activated blades on each of his wings (Air Knife in Galaxy Force).

Due to his role as an antagonist, Brimstone is classified as a Decepticon in the toy line. However, his true allegiance in the television series is to Scourge, and he follows Scourge when he allies himself with the Autobots.

In 2006 a special edition of Brimstone was available in Walmart stores which contained a DVD with the episode "Cybertron" as a promotional item - despite the fact that he wasn't in that episode.

Hasbro Tech Spec: BRIMSTONE likes the simple things - food, flying, trashing Autobots. He leaves stuff like thinking, planning and noticing what's going on in the world around him to his pal Undermine, which is just as well because that tiny, little head of his contains an undersized CPU. Still, being dumb doesn't make Brimstone any less dangerous. In flight, he is totally silent, and diamond-edged vanadium wing blades can pierce even the toughest armor.

Cyber Code Into: Brimstone and Undermine are, when not being pushed around by Scourge and bullying all the other inhabitants of Jungle Planet, insane Praxus Fold Em’ data card players! At night in the Jungle Temple, the two of them can be found playing this addictive chip and card game for Energon goodies and swapping chores. At one time, Brimstone had Undermine cleaning all the waste depositories with his tail until he lost it all on a bad hand!

Takara Tech Spec: A winged dragon type transformer, who serves Flame Convoy. When using his Force Chip, a knife springs from his wings, cutting and tearing the wind, landing the attack on the enemy at super speed. When the sound of the wind changes, we should look to the sky to counter attack.

[edit] Television Series

Brimstone is one of the servants of Scourge, the leader of Jungle Planet. Though originally the planet was plagued by poverty, marauders, and lawlessness, Scourge would manage to bring order through a policy of dictatorship. Brimstone would aid him in his rise to power, and would become one of his personal underlings and temple guardians.

Often seen with Undermine, who also transformed into a prehistoric saurian, Brimstone's chief role in the series was that of a loyal underling and aerial scout. He is not very bright.

As the Grand Black Hole continued to enlarge, Primus attempted to seal it. This was witnessed through giant space bridges on Velocitron by Brakedown, Clocker and Dirt Boss, on the planet Animatros by Backstop, Undermine and Brimstone, and on Earth (episode 42, City).

Later, Brimstone would join the Autobots' alliance of Transformers throughout the galaxy along with Scourge and Undermine. He participated in the final battle against Galvatron.

At the end of the series, he was ordered by Scourge to join the Space Bridge project.
