Based on [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]], constructed from the ruins of the [[Nemesis (Animated)|Decepticon flagship]] and stolen [[protoform]]s, and with heads in the image of the [[Lugnut|one who activated them]], the '''Lugnut Supremes''' were built for only one reason: to serve the Glorious [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] in eradicating the [[Autobot]]s from the face of the galaxy!

==Fiction==
===''Animated'' cartoon===
Ensconced on [[Moon (moon)|Earth's moon]], Megatron set [[Lugnut]] to work at removing materials from the old Decepticon ship for the construction, with [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]] periodically joining him in-between attempts at retrieving Omega Supreme's [[activation code]]s from [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]]. When [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] procured a new body from the protoforms stolen-to-order years before by [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]], Megatron destroyed all the other [[Starscream clone]] shells to save the protoforms for his own plans—which he revealed to Starscream by pointing out the half-constructed shells of three Omega Supreme clones outside.

Once the shells were complete, Megatron had Lugnut and Starscream place a protoform in each structure to complete them physically and ordered Shockwave to get the codes from Arcee. As Shockwave prepared to force them from Arcee's cranium, Starscream knocked Megatron away in an attempt to get the codes for himself, only to be knocked away in turn by Lugnut, who was protecting his master and became the one to receive the actual codes. Megatron then claimed he had planned this: For him to activate the clones would cause their personalities to be based on his own, possibly leading them to betray him, while his "most loyal lieutenant" never would.

The activation codes Shockwave had gotten from Arcee were incomplete, however—missing a crucial security patch. As a result, the Lugnut Supremes didn't fly off at Megatron's command, and Lugnut himself had to be wired into Omega Supreme to control them directly. They set off for Earth as such, Megatron aboard the lead, with the aim of offlining the Earth Autobots once and for all. {{storylink|Endgame, Part I}}

Megatron ordered Lugnut to use them to destroy [[Sumdac Tower]], his former "prison", first. With a forcefield protecting it, they struggled, and [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] attacked—and by using the [[Magnus Hammer]], Optimus was able to crash them into [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]]. Dubbing the field test a "complete failure", Megatron ordered Lugnut to take them back to the Moon. However, Lugnut told Megatron that their flight capability had been disabled. Furious, Megatron simply ordered Lugnut to have them destroy the city... the Autobots... everything except him.

It got worse for the Decepticon leader when it turned out that one of the clones—the one he was aboard—had been completely neutralized. While he flew off to deal with Optimus Prime personally, the clones continued to rampage, unencumbered by the Autobots' efforts, until [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] and [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]] rebooted the original Omega Supreme on the Moon, who promptly severed Lugnut's link to the clones and ejected him.

For a moment, it appeared the clones just stopped... until Starscream's face appeared on the remaining clones, revealing he'd planted bombs on them which would obliterate everything within "a hundred-mile radius", including Megatron! The "'''Starscream Supremes'''", as Bumblebee dubbed them, continued to rampage as they counted down to their self-destruction, and even the appearance of Omega Supreme himself didn't fully turn the tide—while he destroyed one, the other delivered a blow which forced Omega to return to ship mode and crash-land. Optimus Prime and Megatron continued to battle in front of the remaining clone—and only the self-sacrifice of Prowl, adding his own [[spark]] to a cluster of AllSpark fragments to create a force-field strong enough to contain the explosion, prevented Detroit from being completely levelled by its detonation. {{storylink|Endgame, Part II}}

*These Decepticons were given their "Lugnut Supreme" designation by [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] on a [http://twitter.com/DerrickJWyatt/status/1817871938 twitter post]. In fact, he insists [http://twitter.com/DerrickJWyatt/statuses/1873333490 he's right].
