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.

Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

To suppress Kup's flashbacks of slagging everyone on Tsiehshi, Kup was given a cy-gar that fed him a synthetic version of the planet's Ore-8 energy. Perceptor, who helped develop the special cy-gar, was assigned to Kup's unit with a supply of cy-gars to provide to Kup when needed. Everything in Its Right Place

When Commander Daniel Witwicky asked him what was with his "cigar", he inquired as to what a cigar was. All Hail Megatron #12

After his recovery from the Dead Universe and Gorlam Prime, Kup was supposidely cured of his condition, and no longer required the cy-gars to maintain his sanity.

Notes

• The Cy-gar is an obvious Cybertronian equivalent to a human-made Cigar. Springer notes Kup's use of a Cy-gar as "retrograde poison", plausably equalling the use of a Cy-gar by a Cybertronian to a human using a Cigar to smoke Tobacco. It's unknown what sort of substance would typically be used in a Cy-gar as opposed to the synthetic radiation exhibited thus far, though it feels plausable to assume it is used for something similar to Narcotic-based sensations.
• 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".
