- Turboworms are an alien lifeform in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Turboworms are odoriferous and often encrusted in grease [1], and can get in places you'd rather not think about.[2] They may come in wildly different sizes, as turboworm wrestling is a particularly macabre form of entertainment native to Rigel 6. For the price of an admission, spectators get a dose of unadulterated carnage served up courtesy of the grease pits.
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
Prior to the Ark's launch 4 million years ago, Grimlock and Sludge saw turboworms wrestle on Rigel 6. The dim-witted Sludge thought the proceedings quite fun, but Grimlock had a noticeably more chilled response to the pointless slaughter, merely calling it interesting.
Much later on Earth, Sludge was reminded of the turboworms when he witnessed Trypticon's assault on the disabled Autobot forces. Again, Grimlock was less enthusiastic at the carnage. King of the Hill!
Snarl reminded Grimlock about admission fees for turboworm wrestling, but a later Letters page indicated only Grimlock and Sludge had been present. Possibly Snarl was just needling Grimlock.
