Spittor (Animated)

Spittor is a Decepticon from the Animated continuity family.

Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection... the lovers, the dreamers, and Ph'nglui mglw'nfah Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!!

Spittor is a disgusting creature, even to other Decepticons. Not only is he extremely lazy and a shameless liar, but constantly slobbers his oozing slime and spreads his foul stench everywhere, making him both physically and mentally repulsive. His alternate mode is a frog-like bipedal all-terrain walker. In this form, he lashes out tongue-like cables called "Legion Tentacles" that grab his victims, pulling them into his gaping maw. Once swallowed, his victims are either digested, or coated in combustible slime and spat out, making them living (and stinking) bombs.

"It's like a party in my mouth... and everyone's throwing up!"

Part of Team Chaar under the command of Strika, Spittor attacked space bridge 687-030. He captured Red Alert with his cables, and promptly spat her at Brawn and Ironhide, the combustible slime he coated her with taking out all three. He tried to capture Rodimus Prime as well, but the Autobot leapt and fired two arrows into his tongue-cables, pinning Spittor in-place, requiring Cyclonus and Oil Slick's help to get free.

He and the rest of the team waited at the captured space bridge, awaiting Megatron's orders. As they were getting ready to take on the Cybertron Elite Guard, they finally got their orders... to withdraw, with Megatron promising "grave consequences" to any who didn't obey his orders. Reluctantly, the team fled. TransWarped

Spittor was apparently part of a Decepticon attack force which descended upon Detroit to menace the Autobots as the planet Cybertron was brought into Earth's orbit... but the whole thing turned out to have been an illusion programmed in Soundwave's virtual world, but it is uncertain how Soundwave came to the decision to integrate a simulation of him into the program, as he had never physically encountered him.

Notes

Battletoads!

• Derrick J. Wyatt stated that Spittor's alternate mode is based on "Don Figueroa's totally freaking awesome [Beast Wars] comic pre-beast Spittor design", as shown in The Gathering trade paperback.
• Spittor has the same body-type as Animated Slapper. Déjà vu.
• The tentacles' name is a reference to Kiss Players. Not like Spittor needed any more help being creepy...
