Repugnus (Cyberverse)
| The name or term "Repugnus" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Repugnus (disambiguation). |
- Repugnus is an Autobot-allied Monsterbot from the Cyberverse continuity family.
Repugnus and his tribe of Monsterbots dwell deep beneath Cybertron's surface, prehistoric creatures who inhabit an untamed, primordial land filled with savage, Monsterbot-eating Cybertronian wildlife. Like many Monsterbots, Repugnus takes a primitive stance on modern social niceties—for instance, he sees nothing wrong with eating other mechs to slake his own thirst for energon—but the little guy does have a good spark deep down, and will gladly share what little he has with outsiders who win his favor.
Fiction
Cyberverse cartoon
- Voice actor: Billy Bob Thompson (English)
Deprived of energon after the near-destruction of Cybertron and the draining of its natural resources, Repugnus and his tribe were trapped in their simple beast modes for many years, eking out a hardscrabble existence in their dying world. Repugnus and his tribe captured Bumblebee as he journeyed towards the Well of the Allspark, Battle For Cybertron III intending to feast on the Autobot. Before the Monsterbots could start eating, Cheetor caught up with them and told them of their mission, using the AllSpark to sate their hunger and win over their friendship. In gratitude, Repugnus led the duo to the Well's backdoor. Once Cybertron was restored, Repugnus rejoiced at the planet's revival. Battle For Cybertron IV
Unfortunately, a snobbish Monsterbot named Affluous took the chance to have Teknicus build a device segregating those loyal to him, whom he dubbed the "Energon Masters", and those he deemed unworthy, Repugnus among them. Banished to the wilds beyond the Monsterbot city, Repugnus and his tribe had to survive on scraps, lest they die of starvation or get captured for trespassing. When fleeing a group of Injectors, Repugnus was saved by Grimlock. In gratitude, Repugnus offered his new friend some energon and told him of the Monsterbots' societal divide. Morally outraged by what he heard, Grimlock led the Monsterbots to the city to overthrow the Energon Masters. When they reached the city however, Repugnus' hunger won over and he led his brethren to an energon pool, leaving the Autobots to destroy Teknicus' tower and restore equality among the Monsterbots, Repugnus transforming back to robot mode.
