The rustbug hoop is the latest piece of Decepticon weapons technology for handling extremely small flying opponents. It is just a coincidence that it looks like an electrically charged fly swatter. Oh yes.
Fiction
[edit]Earthforce
[edit]These stories do not fit into the normal Marvel continuity. See Earthforce for details.
Starscream was on monitoring duty at Shockwave's base when he spotted a visitation by the Insecticons, spying for Megatron as part of the Decepticon Civil War. After a quick trip to the armoury, Starscream was ready. The Insecticons attacked him, so he pulled out the rustbug hoop and casually swatted them all. Bugged!
Notes
[edit]- The rustbug hoop is depicted as being square on the cover of issue #276, but in the story itself, it is round as the name suggests.
- Starscream's dialogue implies that the hoop was designed to deal with a small, possibly insectoid form of Cybertronic wildlife known as a rustbug.
