- Rustbug hoops are anti-roboinsect devices from the Marvel portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
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
Marvel Comics continuity
Earthforce
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
- 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.
