A loner, a renegade and a rebel. His only true friend is his assault rifle, "Dutch". He much prefers cruising the dusty back roads of Earth, doing crimes and terrorizing the populace to running missions for
Megatron , but if it means a chance to blow something up he's willing to swallow his pride and take a job. A powerful dual-stroke engine and specialized exhaust filters allow him to generate enough engine noise to overwhelm Autobot audio receptors and shatter reinforced glass in a 100 foot radius.Animated series
Lugnutz first appeared in episode 27 "Critical". He was among the monster Earth-based
Decepticon s to be imprisoned by theAutobot Crosswise . He was released byStarscream and therefore accepted his rule, although it would not last too long. He later led Starscream's force back to Cybertron to help the Autobots defeat Galvatron and seal the black hole.Toys
