Cargot

Karugo is an Autobot drone from the Legends portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Karugo (カルゴ) is the Partner Drone and research assistant of Highbrow, whom he refers to as "teacher". He can transform into a Karugo Cannon or a microscope-like "research mode" for Highbrow to wield.

Fiction

Transformers Legends comic

Karugo told Chromedome and Hardhead not to bother Highbrow in his research, and was called a "slug" by Hardhead in return. When Highbrow finally came out of his room, he used Karugo's weapon mode to defeat Weirdwolf and his microscope mode to study the Zodiac. Bonus Edition Vol. 33

Available with the Legends Highbrow figure, Karugo is a redeco of Titans Return Loudmouth's accessory, in Highbrow's colors. The Headmaster form of Highbrow can ride Karugo in robot mode. Karugo can also transform into a 5mm gun for larger Titans Return or any Legends Headmaster figures to wield, or combine with the Headmaster to form an attack vehicle. As seen in the pack-in comic, Karugo can also turn into a "Microscope mode" by turning the gun mode vertically with the barrel facing upwards, and flipping out the handle...although Highbrow's closed fists cannot wield it.

Unlike most of the redecoed Titan Master vehicle accessories, Karugo's gun mode handle does not seem to easily pop off when wielded by many 5mm-compatible closed hands. Also, the handle is slightly thin for both open and closed hands to wield.
