Talk:Sludge (FOC)
I got some pics uploaded for Sludge.I guess you guys can handle the rest?
Parenthetical
[edit]Just for my own edification: if I understand the way the Aligned family is being handled, everyone from the games who gets introduced in the cartoon/toyline gets the Prime parenthetical, correct? How does that work with Sludge, then? And I'm guessing Bruticus is at Prime because one of his decos is going to be released in the Prime toyline? Thanks. Magaroja 07:31, 12 June 2012 (EDT)
- Yeah, I'm not sure why this is at (Prime). --ItsWalky 12:05, 12 June 2012 (EDT)
Proof that info on page might not be correct
[edit]Quoting: "Sludge is the only member of the Lightning Strike Coalition to appear in Fall of Cybertron in his original, pre-Dinobot body."
Actually, the robot mode model for Sludge is a representation of the artwork that was made available and is featured on this very page, clearly depicting his Dino-head on his back.
I have recently managed to pull the mesh and textures from the game, and details can be visually matched to show that it is indeed his Dinobot mode that is featured in the game. The colors are simply all left in the base colors for meshes (grey tones) instead of having the Unreal engine project the editable colors (like they do on Multiplayer meshes), while he is trussed up on the wall, but otherwise, it is identical.
The only texture I haven't located yet is the Autobot shield, which would go right behind his head (it's a blank grey rectangle on the render here), but the fact it's located there, and that there are drawn "eyes" on the sides of that particular piece means that we are indeed looking at the Apatosaurus head.
The mesh is even setup to accept skeletal deformations, implying that at some point, it was playable.
