The Toaster is an automated personality in the Big MT in 2281.
Background[]
Like most of the other appliances in the Sink, the Toaster was rendered offline when Dr. Mobius left the Think Tank when Dr. Klein threw their personality chips off the high balcony. The Toaster's in particular ended up on an altar of sorts in The Cuckoo's Nest, a dwelling of lobotomites.
When reactivated, the Toaster reveals a personality that is psychotically violent, aggressive and megalomaniacal, bent on destroying the Earth with atomic fire. However, he is unaware atomic fire has already rained down when the Great War began unless informed by the Courier. Upon realizing that the Earth has already been destroyed, he briefly laments that his entire driving point is now obsolete before he quickly returns to his "Burn the World" agenda by threatening to bathe the world in "atomic fire....again!"

Quests[]
All My Friends Have Off Switches: The Toaster is one of the appliances that the Courier must retrieve a module for. The module is found in The Cuckoo's Nest, sitting on what appears to be a shrine for toasters and electric appliances.
Effects of player's actions[]
- If the Courier lies, claiming that his prior statement that the world had already been incinerated in an atomic fire was "just a joke," Toaster will be relieved that he "isn't as redundant and useless as Muggy."
- With good or neutral Karma, the ending of Old World Blues relates that the Toaster continued to rant about how he would burn the world. After a particularly violent episode, the other appliances got tired of the Toaster and dumped him into a bathtub, intending to short him out and kill him. In his last moments, the Toaster swears that they would "rue the day when they had bread... and no way to toast it."
- With evil Karma, the Toaster, learning new destructive techniques from the Courier, continued destroying appliances and eventually built a shrine to itself in The Cuckoo's Nest.
Other interactions[]
- If asked what other services he provides, the Toaster offers to heat up a Saturnite fist, converting it into a super-heated Saturnite fist.
- The Toaster can also convert the following small appliances into five energy cells and three microfusion cells per item:
- Toasters (Both variants)
- Cameras
- Hot plates
- Irons
- In addition to the energy and microfusion cells, the Toaster will return one pile of scrap electronics for each toaster it receives.
Notes[]
- Despite initially being unaware of the world's destruction, as well as being deactivated for a long time, the Toaster apparently is fully aware of the existence of Caesar's Legion and the NCR.
- Even if the Courier is not carrying any toasters, but has other small appliances or Saturnite fists on their person, the option of saying, "I've got some toasters for you" will still appear. Selecting this dialogue option will open the Toaster's interface.
- The Toaster is the only Sink personality that additional upgrades can't be found for.
Notable quotes[]
- "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!"
- "Cursed electric heating filament! You are inadequate to my needs! Why? Why? Why was I not built with a death ray!"
- "Ahahaha! I am on-line once again! Tremble, world, before my electric heating coil of doom!"
- "You should be afraid! I am the scourge of all small appliances and the boogeyman that keeps lesser toasters awake at night!"
- "Soon, pitiful worms! Soon I will rule, and your lives will have their doneness setting turned to... darkest!"
- "Have you ever tried to indulge an all-consuming urge to kill when you don't have opposable thumbs? Or hands? Or anything other than a bread slot? You'd have a lot of pent-up anger too!"
- "Well, since I can't kill you, I guess I have to listen to your inane questions."
- "With the brains dealt with, soon we can spread our rule across the Mojave! All will eat burned toast and despair!"
- "While you were away, my plans have marched steadily forward. Beware, Caesar! Beware, NCR! Soon will dawn the Age of the Toaster!"
- -The Courier: "You know the world already burned in nuclear fire, right?"
-Toaster: "Soon I will - What? It... It did?" - "You want some weapon schematics? I can show you some fucking weapon schematics! You want a superheated Saturnite Power Fist? I can hook that shit up!"
