Here's page 47 of Fusion #14, and a glimpse of Brooder in his original, Brotherhood-styled outfit. Next page will bring this flashback to a close, and then it's on to the final sequence of the issue.
No. The redesign didn't happen until after SAS was formed and Riveter redesigned the suit (along with her suit and Captain Stupendous's)--at Captain Stupendous's request (see Captain Stupendous's interview in Faces; http://fusion.thecomicseries.com/comics/247/ in particular). Although I suspect Brooder had Riveter make some enhancements to this outfit at various points before the complete redesign.
