- Anti-personal mines are yet more horrible things from the 2005 IDW continuity.

During the Great War the Decepticons made extensive use of landmines and in an attempt to make these deadly devices even more difficult to defuse, some twisted genius came up with the diabolical idea of wiring their explosive components up to the vital systems of a still-living prisoner. These heinous hybrids are known as anti-personal mines and they require the delicate skills of a "bomb negotiator" to take the unfortunate victim's brain module offline before they can be made safe.
Fiction
[edit]2005 IDW continuity
[edit]Shortly after the Simanzi Massacre, Skids was working as a bomb negotiator in the western provinces of Cybertron when he encountered an anti-personal mine made from Heavy Tread. Skids began to talk him down but in the process made reference to Primus, which "triggered" an emotional response from the evidently atheist Autobot, who promptly exploded.
Years later, Skids would recount this story to Rung aboard the Lost Light while attempting to access his lost memories of the war. Speak, Memory: Part 1
Notes
[edit]- Of course the name of these mines is a take-off of real-life anti-personnel weapons.
