Animated Lugnut Prototype.

[GoktimusPrime]

***SHOW SPOILERS AHEAD***

I like Lugnut because he's a bounty hunter, which not only lends a bit of a scifi element to the show, but because he's different from previous bounty hunters we've seen in Transformers mythos and makes him unique. His brutal and relentless nature reminds me of Death's Head - but unlike Death's Head, Devcon and Sixshot - and more like Lord Chumley - he's also a game hunter who enjoys collecting parts from his victims which he not only keeps as trophies of his hunts, but also to augment/upgrade himself. So he's constantly evolving with every successful hunt.

His character development has mostly been limited by the limited amount of screen time that he's had. Having so far only appeared in one episode you wouldn't expect him to have so much exposition - unless you did some special flashback thing like with Blackarachnia - and they did do that with Lugnut, but at a different level because they were developing him in a different direction.

He's a lot like Boba Fett - another bounty hunter who, let's face it, had pretty limited screen time in the Star Wars movies. Boba Fett makes very limited appearances in the Star Wars movies, has only a handful of lines and is ultimately defeated by a blind man with a stick! Yet he is legend amongst Star Wars fans!

So yeah, that's why I want this toy.
