#or episodes were Lugnut’s loyalty is slightly challenged just to give his character more development

[mfdragon]

Well now I'm curious: what are your feelings on Lugnut?

Hhhmmmmmmm weeeelll….

Listen. I DO like him, I really do. Always thought he was a great addition to the decepticon roster; someone who’s SO loyal and obsessed with Megatron that it even annoys the big bad man himself. The whole “voice in his head bit” was hilarious and did lead to good interactions with Blitzwing and Starscream. The episode with him and Shockwave was the funniest scene in the whole show, and I do really like his design and fights. So overall, really enjoyed him and I think he’s one of the funniest characters!

However, and I admit this is a very personal however for several reasons, upon rewatching I started to get annoyed with one behavior he has. He would just keep. Hitting. Blitzwing. Unprovoked! Blitzwing NEVER properly initiated their little squabbles, even in the comics, Lugnut always destroyed his statue or pushes him into a monitor screen or hits him in the back of the head for simply asking a question or kicks him into a hole. This is a behavior I cannot stand in real life and the fact it was directed at my fave tripled my frustration. I know it’s for laughs and sometimes it was fine but it’s the constant repetition and the fact that sometimes Blitzwing didn’t even fight back that makes me sad.

I love people’s aus where they are true partners or we see these two in fun scenarios, so it hurts when I watch the canon and realise that if Megatron ordered it, Lugnut would not fucking hesitate to hurt Blitzwing. True Loyalty only to the leader; not your fellow soldiers.
