Lugnut

The name or term Lugnut refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Lugnut (disambiguation).
Lugnut is a glorious Decepticon!
Lugnut

If mighty Megatron were to command Lugnut to jump, the powerful Decepticon would be in the upper atmosphere long before his master could specify how high. In Lugnut's optics, bold, heroic Megatron embodies the Decepticon cause, and his devotion is total. It's easy to misinterpret Lugnut’s blind zeal for a lack of overall processing power, but this is not the case. Although he isn't much of a thinker or planner, Lugnut does not care, for wise Megatron is brilliant enough for a thousand Decepticons. His master makes the plans, and Lugnut carries them out. However, that blind loyalty is his weakness. Although innovative on the battle field, he does little thinking about anything else.

Besides his compulsion to serve Megatron, the only other driving force in his programming is to destroy the Autobots. Renowned throughout Cybertron as one of the most destructive fighters for the Decepticon cause, Lugnut has no time or patience for contemplation or strategy when he could just as easily level an entire Autobot battalion with a single explosive punch. He knows that his unparalleled strength, endurance, and seemingly limitless missile payload is enough to serve glorious, bold, fresh-scented, bright and shiny MEGATRON! Autobots that know him know the only way to survive a fight with him is to stay clear of his path.

He will only keep company with Decepticons who are as loyal to the grand and imperious Megatron as he is. Traitors and disgraces such as Starscream and Lockdown are not worthy of mention, let alone being in the presence of the glorious Megatron. Granted, even magnanimous Megatron himself can get a little tired of Lugnut's praises, but he keeps it to himself, lest Lugnut should lose faith in mighty Megatron.

He is also Strika's "consort", whatever that means.

Skills: LOYALTY, EXPLOSIONS, FEROCITY, FOR THE GLORY OF MEGATRON!, PUNCH OF KILL EVERYTHING!, BACKFIRING WEAPONS, A BIT DENSE, ALWAYS ALL-CAPS

“ I believe only two things: The Decepticons will rule Cybertron, and Megatron will rule the Decepticons! ”

—Lugnut, Megatron loyalist, "Lost and Found"

Sep 26 - RE: Starscream

>*A camera shows a poor angle of Lugnut, who is staring at something else that is NOT the red camera.*<

"L-LORD STARSCREAM! I ASSURE YOU, MY INTENTIONS IN VALVOLUX WERE ENTIRELY TO INFLICT A CRIPPLING BLOW ONTO AUTOBOT MORALE BY BEATING THEM IN COMBAT. SURELY THIS IS...THIS IS SEEN AS A GOOD AND NOBLE ACTION FOR THE EMPIRE, AND NOT....NOT WORTHY OF PUNISHMENT?"

>*The camera cuts out.<

Sep 30 - CHALLENGE?

Lugnut appears on screen...well partially, he's not looking down into the camera so there's a lot of chin showing, "I WISH TO BE A PART OF THIS CHALLENGE. I AM THE ONLY ONE (WITHLORDMEGATRONSBLESSING) THAT CAN CLAIM THIS TITLE. SO THOSE WHO SEEK TO BE IN CHARGE OF.....AH....WHATEVER WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE!"

Lugnut hits a button, and clearly he meant to shut off the communication, but he did not. The next three hours are of him at this console during his off hours, occasionally having conversations with other Cons, and talking to himself about how he hopes Lord Megatron has a very nice day.
Two hours later, one of the janitorcons is seen drinking engex on duty, then notices the button, frowns and turns off the memo camera.

Nov 24 - I WAS VICTORIOUS YET AGAIN LORD ME

GATRON. EVER LOYAL LUGNUT HAS DEFEATED NOT ONE, NOT TWO, NOT THREE, NOT FOUR. WAIT, FOUR. YES. FOUR AUTOBOTS WHO WERE ASSAULTING AN ENERGON CACHE I WAS STOCKING. I AM GLAD TO REPORT THAT OF THE FIFTY ENERGON CUBES STOCKED, THAT SIX HAVE BEEN RETRIEVED.

ALSO WE'RE DOWN A HOVERSKIFF.

GLORY TO LORD MEGATRON, LORD MEGATRON TRIUMPHANT. RIGHTFUL RULER OF CYBERTRON AND ALL ITS MOONS.

Jul 11 - WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS PRATTLE?

Lugnut appears on screen, the camera is very close to his optic. "STARSCREAM! THERE CAN BE NO PEACE WITH THE AUTOBOTS BECAUSE LORD MEGATRON HAS NOT WILLED IT SO! IT CANNOT BE. AN IMPOSSIBLE THING! I WILL SINGLE-HANDEDLY KEEP FIGHTING THE VILE...VILE AND HATED! VILE AUTOBOTS UNTIL LORD MEGATRON'S, GLORY TO LORD MEGATRON, GLORIOUS RETURN! THERE CAN BE NO TALK OF PEACE!"

A moment passes, "ALSO, WHILE WE ARE ON THE SUBJECT, I WILL BE ARRANGING A LONG TERM EXPEDITION TO RECOVER LORD MEGATRON, GLORY TO LORD MEGATRON, FROM WHATEVER FATE BEFALLS HIM, NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES!"

Notes

  • Lugnut's name derives from an earlier stage in his development; at one point he was going to be more Frankenstein's Monster-esque, with giant bolts (or "nuts") sticking out from his neck. While this concept was effectively discarded, the character kept "Lugnut" for his final name... but it works well enough on its own, as he is a big lug and a bit of a nut.
  • Of the five main Animated Decepticons, Lugnut is the only one without a "counterpart" from a prior series.
  • According to the Decepticon character descriptions sent out in the initial Cartoon Network press release for Transformers Animated, Lugnut "carries a payload of mega-bombs and can spew liquid napalm with laser-like accuracy". Alas, his napalm-spewing ability hasn't shown up anywhere. The bio on the Latin America McDonald's website used this character description as well when promoting his toy.
  • Derrick Wyatt and Marty Isenberg admitted at BotCon 2008 that they didn't know that Lugnut's toy had the battle mace, as it was a Hasbro creation. Once they learned of its existence, they slipped it into season 2, and it makes its only appearance in "Garbage In, Garbage Out".
  • At Botcon 2008, Marty Isenberg took a liking to the term Punch of Kill Everything used in the fandom to refer to Lugnut's attack, and said he would find a way to work it in. Sure enough, in the comic The Arrival #4 penned by Isenberg, Lugnut's attack was named as such.
  • The four small red dots (two to either side) on Lugnut's head, according to the series' creators, are secondary optics.[1] This means Lugnut actually has five eyes, rather than the one he appears to have at a casual glance.
  • According to his on-package bio, Lugnut is known as the 'Kaon Krusher'.
  • In the Japanese dub of Animated, Lugnut has a verbal tic where he adds the syllable "ttsu" (ッツ) to the ends of most of his sentences. In the intro voiceover for "Three's a Crowd", he explains that he simply does this "because [I'm] Lugnut", as in Japanese, his name is pronounced "ragunattsu".

Foreign names

  • Japanese: Lugnut (ラグナッツ Ragunattsu)

Players

Lugnut is played by Zero, but available for application.
