Frag is a curse used by Transformers.

This is a shortened term for "fragment", as in a bad thing to have happen to your computer's hard drive or anything else that's important.
In military slang, frag is a term for murdering a weak member of one's own troop with a fragmentation grenade.
Due to the association fragging has with assassination, frag is often used as another word for just plain killing someone in a video game. This use of the word was popularized by First Person Shooters such as Doom.
This term was made popular as an expletive (which would be deemed inoffensive in the "real world") by DC Comics' Lobo.
