BrOOMstick is a fictional character created by MasterShooter Collectibles as a third-party Transformer homage to Fracas, the Targetmaster partner to the Decepticon Scourge.

The name BrOOMstick is a play on the nickname the character Ash gave his Remington shotgun in the film Army of Darkness.

Fictional biography

BrOOMstick vowed to retrieve the ruby skid plates that were scavenged by the resident of the building that fell on his last partner. On his journey, he was possessed by an evil spirit from an old book. Victory was won, even though it cost him his hand. He eventually built a prosthetic, but still likes to wield the chainsaw that he had used in the interim. He has now teamed up with the Sweepers who serve the Deceptive Constructs. The new partnership seems to have distracted him from his vow, for now.
