- Nudge guns are things to screw with minds from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The nudge gun is Institute tech, designed to make the target Transformer think differently. It carries two charges: the first sends a foreign thought into someone's head, and the second is a blank that erases incriminating knowledge from your head. Know what I mean? Know what I mean? Nudge, nudge. Wink wink. Say no more.
