Cy-gar

Clearly, it's Outback's thumb.

A cy-gar is a device used to deliver a dose of its contents to a Cybertronian through the mouth. Millions of cycles ago, they were used to deliver a poison willingly consumed by the user because of some perceived benefit.

Notes

• When Casey Coller was reading Shane McCarthy's script for "Spotlight: Blurr", the artist visualized Kup taking after the wartime comic book hero Sgt. Rock. Because this was awesome, Kup was introduced in All Hail Megatron chomping on a cigar-like object. An in-fiction explanation was later retconned for it by Nick Roche in the All Hail Megatron Coda story, "Everything in its Right Place".

Foreign names
