Garboil is a Decepticon from the Animated continuity family.
Howlback is happy to not have to hang out with this guy in this continuity family.

Before Soundwave created Laserbeak and Ratbat, he started with prototypes culled from Sumdac Systems technology. Garboil was one of these prototypes. Though he and his fellow prototypes were not a successful attempt at machine life, Soundwave nevertheless released them into Detroit, sowing chaos.

And what chaos he sows! Nicknamed the "wordsnatcher", Garboil blackmails friends and foes alike after watching and recording their every moment. He also creates mayhem with his Méliès-wave generator.

Notes

  • Garboil was introduced in The AllSpark Almanac II.
  • His nickname—in full, "the ever-present wordsnatcher"—is the name of a bird from the Norton Juster novel, The Phantom Tollbooth.
