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!"

- Toaster

The toaster is an appliance 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, most likely a reference to Red Dwarfs 'talkie the toaster'. .

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.

Notable quotes

 * "CHEER"

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 but surprisingly useful toaster repair skill in Wasteland.
 * The Toaster will have it's own ending slide in Old World Blues.

Appearances
