Toaster (Old World Blues)

"A toaster is just a death ray with a smaller power supply! As soon as I figure out how to tap into the main reactors, I will burn the world!"

The toaster is character in the Big Empty in 2281.

Background
In one of the abandoned kitchens in the EPA is a small, intelligent toaster with an IQ of 6000. All of its brain power is focused towards convincing humans to make toast.

The Brave Little Toaster, in its Fallout: New Vegas incarnation, is slightly more ambitious than the Fallout 2 version, with designs on triggering a second apocalypse.

Fallout 2
Dialogues with the toaster were to be somewhat one-sided, as the player would ask it a question, and it would respond with some question about whether the player would like toast or waffles.

Appearances
The toaster was cut from Fallout 2, and appears in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Behind the scenes
In its Fallout 2 incarnation, the toaster was a reference both to The Brave Little Toaster and the Talkie Toaster from Red Dwarf.

Toaster repair is a long-running in-joke in the Fallout series, originating from the oddly-named by surprisingly useful toaster repair skill in Wasteland.
