| The name or term "Lugnut" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Lugnut (disambiguation). |
- Lugnut is a Decepticon from the brick-built world of Kre-O.
How unblinkingly loyal is Lugnut to Megatron? So loyal that the Decepticon leader is endlessly playing pranks on this cyclopean sycophant, secure in the knowledge that there will not be a single word raised in complaint. He'll just sit there and take it with a smile the whole time like a big dumb doof.[1]
Toys
Kre-O
- Lugnut (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2013)
- Collection: 2
- Bag number: ***** 75
- Accessories: Logo brick (or plate, 2015 releases only), shock-prod staff
- As part of the second wave of blindpacked Micro-Changers, Lugnut is a Kreon that can be rebuilt into a purple bomber plane. He reuses Mirage's helmet and shares the majority of his extra parts with wavemate Powerglide. His weapon was originally wielded by Knock Out.
- This Collection was still in circulation at "dollar" stores and drug stores up through 2015. They eventually lost the individual-identifying bag codes, but other changes were hidden inside the bag. The 2015 releases replaced the 2x4 logo stand-brick with a new 3x4 logo plate. The Kreon was also given the slight retooling to the arm seen in the 2014 Kreons, making the "cuff" parts more sharp-cornered and better adapted to being used as studs. Some of the add-on pieces may also be slightly off-color, possibly due to a change in factories in mid-production.
- Lugnut (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
- Collection: 2
- Accessories: Stand-plate, shock-prod staff
- In 2016, Collection 2 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released Kre-O sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Lugnut's paint operations have also been altered, giving him gray chest-windows instead of black, as well as changing his faction symbol from a black outline to a white-outlined purple. Lugnut also has a parts change, replacing the clip-on domes with newer clip-on turbines.
- Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.
Notes
- Lugnut is based directly on the Animated version of the character.
- His stock-image renders show him carrying a colorless-clear shock-prod weapon. The final toy, however, has a clear-purple one.
