Bloodyrock - Ganseki Chōjin - 'A superhuman to be wary of'
Brimstone's prototype name was 'Pulvereyes' without the hyphen.
Gobots Packaging 'Brimstone's scheming intellect makes him a deadly foe. Brimstone is always ready to step in for Magmar and take command. Brandishing The Torcher, his flame-throwing weapon, he laughs wickedly as he charges fearlessly into battle.'
Japanese Packaging Practical Translation Short tempered and always becoming angry, he can channel that anger energy into a high heat ray. When attacked he can melt to a muddy lava to quickly escape. He can channel anger energy though his weapon the Heat Axe causing it to emit high temperature light. It is so hot that only Bloodyrock can wield it.
Robo Machine Packaging (shared by all Series 1 and 2 figures and Saberstone and Spearhead) 'Rock Life has evolved upon the planet 'Quartex' in the form of rock "beings", each with their own unique abilities. Conflict exists between the forces of good and evil ROCK LORDS. But just like GOBOTS, good does not always prevail, sometime the evil side wins!'

* Paint application for the US Gobots line saw both the the yellow gold used on the Machine Robo release and the more commonly seen darker gold used for the Robo Machine and Machine Men releases. Brimstone was a short run figure in Japan and this may have resulted in the switch over of manufacturing to one paint being used.
