Name: Lugnut
Race: Cybertronian
Gender: Male
Age: ~2 Million Stellar Cycles (equvalent of mid-40s for a human)
Origin: Cybertron
Allegiance: Decepticons
Description: Lugnut is Megatron's right-hand 'bot, and the one Decepticon the leader sends when he wants to make sure there is no deviation from the plan. Lugnut would be the last 'Con on Cybertron to betray Megatron, but unlike most first impressions of the large Decepticon, he's not dumb. He's not exactly a genius either, but when one is surrounded by such masterminds and schemers as Megatron, Strika, and Starscream, it's hard NOT to look mentally deficient in comparison. Lugnut is actually of average intelligence, but his main weakness is that he is incredibly single-minded. When he given a mission by his "master" he will focus on it to the exclusion of literally everything else. Unfortunately, he also lacks creativity, which is why he's often outsmarted by 'bots who can tackle a problem via unconventional means.
Lugnut transforms into a bomber plane, and stands taller and bulkier than every other Decepticon except Blackout (and just a smidge taller than Megatron and Strika). Given the size of most Decepticons, this is really saying something, as his size and strength are his primary advantages and the principal reason (besides his undying loyalty) that he is in Megatron's inner circle.
Lugnut has three primary weapons-- first and foremost is his "Punch of Kill Everything", or "P.O.K.E.", as his "friend" Blitzwing calls it. Retracting his claw into his arm, he can slam it into the ground to create a gigantic explosion that only Lugnut or a 'Bot standing right next to him can emerge from unscathed.
His second weapon involves panels opening up all along the "hunch" on his back, which reveal scores of missile pods, all capable of launching at Lugnut's mental command. An earth human named Vangelus once called it the "Macross Missile Massacre" in response to local news footage of Lugnut using it while attacking the Autobots. The name has caught on among Detroit's more Internet-savvy populace, but none of the Decepticons have a name outright for it.
Lugnut's final weapon is a large mace made from the tail of his alternate mode, and powered by a star core. He won it as a prize when he took second place in the pre-war era Kaon Krusher tournament (the title of which is often given to Lugnut, despite the fact that Megatron bested him in the final round). Despite the fact that it can do an impressive amount of damage, Lugnut prefers to use a more "claws-on" approach when it comes to combat and rarely uses it.
Lugnut also has four chest-mounted cannons that carry over from his aircraft mode, but they are relatively weak in comparison to his other weapons and are only used for support firepower.
Besides Megatron, Lugnut has special connections to two other Decepticons-- Blitzwing and Strika. Blitzwing is the closest thing that Lugnut has to a true "friend", but they're only friends in the sense that Moe, Larry, and Curly are. They constantly smack each other around (though Blitzwing is usually on the receiving end), and generally are only "friends" because they are often paired up together for missions. Strika is Lugnut's "girlfriend" of sorts, though the affection is more on Strika's end-- as another of Megatron's inner circle, she grew attached to him during the Great War, and has since fallen in love with his total loyalty and brutal nature in battle, loudly proclaiming her love for him to anyone who will hear her. Lugnut is honestly a little frightened of Strika, however (who is even more brutal than he is, not to mention smarter as well)-- he's tried to break the relationship off several times, but has always been bullied by Strika into staying together despite his protests.
Past: Lugnut rose to prominence in the pre-war days as a constant winner of the annual Kaon Krusher tournament, where he gets his nickname. Still, even Lugnut grew bored of the constant battle-- he rarely faced a real challenge given his formidable weaponry, and wanted a real purpose in his life.
That purpose came when he faced Megatron. As the only Decepticon to ever best Lugnut in gladiatorial combat, Megatron has Lugnut's undying respect not only for this, but because of the Decepticon leader's vision of the future and attitude towards the Cybertronian Elites. From then on, Lugnut has been a loyal follower of Megatron. It is a testament to Lugnut's strength and endurance that he is one of the few Decepticons who, despite being on the front lines most of the time, survived the Great War and still serves at his master's side.
