- Furg is a human from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Furg was utilized by Starscream to frighten off and/or dispose of people who interfered with the flow of customers into the Dancitron nightclub, which apparently included going after innocent breakdancers.
He led a gang of roughly fifteen punks and one mind-controlled businessman in performing his strongarm sidewalk defense. Furg's equipment, presumably furnished by the Decepticons, included at least two laser pistols and a communications device featuring a video display. How—or if—the Decepticons paid him is unclear.

[edit]The Transformers cartoon
[edit]- Voice actor: Chris Latta (English), ? (Japanese), Henry Djanik (European French), Holger Schwiers (German)
Furg first appeared from an alley as Poplock and Rocksteady were breakin' on a folded-up cardboard box across the street from Dancitron. He pulled the cardboard out from under them, toppling them in mid-groove, and declared that the street corner belonged to Dancitron. "The management" wanted them out.
When Poplock questioned his affiliation with the club, Furg summoned a group of thugs with a single motion of his hand to show he meant business. The Bop Crew decided to hightail it out of there, and the gang gave chase with-intent-to-pummel. Unluckily for Furg's desire to inflict grievous bodily harm, both the Bop Crew and his gang ran in front of Tracks, who had been hiding in an alley in vehicle mode. Tracks and Blaster soon came to the rescue, causing the gang to break out their laser pistols.
Furg had one gun melted into goop in his hand by Tracks' sharpshooting - which strangely did not appear to scald him—and a second laser weapon he produced ceased working courtesy of Blaster's electro-scrambler, prompting him to aim it at his eye. Ridiculously outclassed by the Autobots, he and the gang fled.
Later, Furg spotted Poplock and Rocksteady after they had been given free passes into Dancitron. He contacted Starscream on his communications device, informing him of the sighting and asking if he should "put them out of the way". Starscream responded negatively, informing Furg that he had a use for them.
As the Dancitron club was later demolished and the Decepticons' plot to build... something... was foiled, it can be assumed that Furg either found a new line of work or went back to general thuggery. Auto-Bop

Poplock called them a bunch of Road Warrior rejects. He was pretty much on the mark.
Notes
[edit]- Furg's name was not revealed in "Auto-Bop" itself; it comes from the script of the episode. The character's model sheet, meanwhile, spells it "Furge".
