'''Slug''' is the most technically minded of [[Grimlock (Prime)|Grimlock]]'s [[Lightning Strike Coalition]], though he also really enjoys melting Decepticons into slag.

{{Note|On [[September 11]], [[2012]], Slug and [[Swoop (Prime)|the rest]] [[Snarl (Prime)|of the]] [[Grimlock (Prime)|Dinobots]], excluding [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]], were made available for download in the Dinobot Destructor Pack on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Steam. <ref>http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/9/4/3283751/transformer-fall-of-cybertron-is-bringing-the-dinobots-to-competitive</ref>}}

Slug and the rest of the [[Lightning Strike Coalition]] deserted their post defending the Ark when they detected strange energy readings in the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]]. The energy readings were caused by [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]]'s [[space bridge]] experiments at the [[energon lake]], and when they arrived, they came under attack by [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticons]] and were overwhelmed. Shockwave took the time to experiment on them, giving them primitive dinosaur forms. Slug broke free and trashed the lab he was in, melting a hole in the floor which he departed through. He roamed the caves until smashed through a door, crushing [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]] and finding Grimlock. Luckily for Grimlock and [[Swoop (Prime)|Swoop]], he was able to lead them to where [[Snarl (Prime)|Snarl]] was being held by [[Sharpshot]]. Once Snarl was freed, they sought shelter in an observation post and found Shockwave's logs concerning his experiments on them and the space bridge. Against Grimlock's wishes, Slug contacted Optimus, who ordered them all back to base. Grimlock refused, instead heading out to destroy the space bridge tower himself, and the other Dinobots later watched from afar as the tower exploded. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron}}

==Notes==
*This is the second new name assigned to a counterpart of Generation 1 [[Slag (G1)|Slag]]; the first was Snarl (as in [[Snarl (Animated)|''Animated'' Snarl]] and ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' Snarl, both of whom borrowed the name from [[Snarl (G1)|Generation 1 Snarl]]).
*In addition to referring to a round of ammunition or a swift smack across the face, the word "slug" is used by blacksmiths to describe the hot, leftover piece of metal that is punched out when they need to make a hole in something. All of this is rather apt when considering Generation 1 Slag's personality.
* Slug has a Infiltrator body type. As such, Slug's beast-mode head is available as a Predator-type component for Infiltrator-class characters in ''Fall of Cybertron'' multiplayer.

===Foreign Names===
*''Russian'': '''Shlak''' (Slag)
