Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Trailbreaker once offered to share some Nightmare Fuel with Tailgate only to find him frozen in place. The Reluctant Specialist When Rewind held a storytelling session in Swerve's bar to try and repair the neural connections in Rung's brain, Swerve purloined a bottle of Nightmare Fuel from Trailbreaker's secret stash to serve to the participants. He had to wear protective gloves to do so. An Intimate Beheading Blurr requested a shot of Nightmare Fuel when he visited Swerve's bar following the defeat of the Necrotitan. The Becoming
Notes
- "Nightmare Fuel" is a term coined by Mystery Science Theater 3000 and popularized by the website TV Tropes to describe horrifying scenes in fiction. The issue in which it is introduced includes an extremely apposite example.
- Nightmare Fuel comes with a picture of the Pretender Skullgrin (formerly thought by fans to be the Liege Maximo but confirmed by Alex Milne in an interview (at 1:48:35) to be Skullgrin) on the bottle.
