Flobster

Flobsters are an airborne menace from the Rescue Bots portion of the Aligned continuity family.

When a cylinder of floatium fell into a lobster tank, it imbued the lobsters within with the power to fly, creating flobsters. With two razor-sharp claws and the ability to fly anywhere, flobsters are a danger to humans and Autobots alike.

Rescue Bots cartoon

The flobsters were originally ordinary lobsters at the Lobster and Technology Festival on Griffin Rock, destined for dinner plates. That all changed when the cylinder of floatium turned them into flobsters and they began spreading around the town, causing havoc. Some of them attacked Mayor Luskey as he was being interviewed, dislodging his toupee, while others chased Frankie Greene, attracted to the starfish shape on her jacket. Dani Burns and Blades scooped some up using a cage and dropped them back into a tank, but it wasn't until Doc Greene developed a compound to destabilize the floatium that they had a permanent solution to the problem. Using a pair of giant lobster parade balloons, the Rescue Bots herded the flobsters back to the square, where Heatwave sprayed them with the new compound. The flobsters were turned them back into lobsters, which then made a fine dinner for the residents of Griffin Rock. Flobsters on Parade
