Brute
The Brute is a Mutant – part human, part Chromobot – created by Predator. It is possessed of a spiky dome head, a knobbly epidermis, and massive strength, and whenever you knock it down, it won't be long until it gets back up again.
It's unclear if it is The Brute or merely a brute that the Chromobots happened to encounter. One could try asking it, but the Brute only communicates in a strange, indecipherable language.
Fiction
The Brute was a Mutant created by Predator after the Chromatic criminal used his time modulator and devastated Earth The Chromobots issue 25 with nuclear weaponry. After the Chromobots were lured into a time shift to the year 2535 and Mikros tried to get his bearings, he was jumped by the Brute. The Brute proved to be a tough enemy, breaking through the ruins of the city. When Mikros discovered it was resistant to his optic blast, he prepared to take it on hand-to-hand. Issue 23
One swipe from the Brute was enough to send Mikros flying back to his compatriots, Transmute, Shield, and Dudley. Shield, the burliest of the Chromobots, took the Brute on, briefly knocking it back. Rage and Menace then arrived, announcing their affiliation with Predator and how they'd come to crush their master's enemies. The Brute got back up again, but Shield attacked it with his force shield, before he and Transmute were beset by the other Mutants. Issue 24
Predator himself arrived on the scene, and ordered the Mutants to stand down with a simple vocal command. The Mutants listened as the Chromatic criminal explained what he'd accomplished with the time modulator. Issue 25 The Chromobots' human ally, Dudley, leapfrogged over Rage and snatched the modulator from Predator, who ordered the Mutants to stop the boy. Transmute, Shield, and Mikros held the Mutants off for long enough for Dudley to make it back through the time shift to 1985. After Shield destroyed the time modulator with his force weapon, the time shifts were closed and time in the 26th Century was destabilised, trapping Predator and the Mutants in a folding in timeline. All of Predator's accomplishments would be replaced with the future as it was intended to happen, meaning the Mutants would never be created. Issue 26
