Igor
| This article is about Megatron's slobbery buddy from Dark of the Moon. For the fictional hunchback from Generation 1, see Frankenstein's assistant. |
- Igor is a Decepticon from the live-action film continuity family.
When your sycophantic right-hand man is actually almost always trying to figure out ways to get rid of you, it's nice to have a backup. Igor is Megatron's. Tiny, twisted, cheerful and probably at least a little miswired, the little wretch wants nothing more from life than to gobble up whatever scraps his leader leaves behind, literally as well as figuratively. Megatron has a vague recollection of the head having used to belong to one of his soldiers, but the possibility doesn't interest him enough for him to invest much thought into it.

 Plot details for Dark of the Moon (film) follow. |
Igor hung around at Megatron's Decepticon refugee camp in Africa, where he was weird and crazy. He later traveled with his master to Washington, D.C. as the latter prepared to launch his invasion, and, after Megatron destroyed the statue of Abraham Lincoln seated on the Lincoln Memorial, Igor gnawed happily on its disembodied head.

Igor accompanied his master when the Decepticons invaded Chicago. Following the battle's end, he was last seen staring up at the sky, wondering what had become of his master. Dark of the Moon #4
Notes
- The Dark of the Moon novel specifically describes Igor as the decapitated head of another Transformer, and the comic adaptation bears this idea out in its depiction of him as a bouncing head with a trail of wires behind him as if he's been torn off a torso. It's bit less obvious in the finished the film itself, though, where Igor has stubby little arms and legs and walks around with the aid of a makeshift cane. Concept art from Josh Nizzi strongly indicates that Igor used to be (a) Long Haul.[1]
- Early in development, Igor was named Undermine.[2]
