Crude and obnoxious, '''Slugslinger''' doesn't care whether he's annoying Autobots or his fellow Decepticons. His skill as a gunfighter and as a pilot is valuable enough for the Decepticons to want him around despite his personality, but just barely.

==Fiction==
===''Energon'' comic===
Slugslinger and [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon]] were assigned by [[Alpha Quintesson]] to join [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]] (who had been recently reformatted from Tidal Wave) on a mission to abduct [[Kicker Jones]] and beat up on the [[Omnicon]]s. Slugslinger and the team were forced to retreat. He also counts himself as a specialist in the 'Department of Pain'. {{storylink|Multiplicity}}

Later, Slugslinger was one of three Decepticons assigned to attack [[Ocean City]]. He failed as miserably as his competitors did, but when it came time to defend his failure to [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], his lies were so cunning, so audacious, that he earned a measure of his leader's respect. Megatron promoted him on the spot. {{storylink|Perspective}}

===''Energon'' pack-in comic===
Slugslinger was part of an [[Eclipse-Team]] mission to steal refined Energon from an [[Autobot]] installation on [[Earth]]. After he and [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon]] snuck in through the sewers, Slugslinger disabled a protective energy fence and an Autobot attack drone. However, the Autobots had planned an ambush, and Slugslinger was shot down by [[Tow-Line (Energon)|Tow-Line]]. {{storylink|Energon Volume 3}}

===Force of Habit===
Slugslinger participated in a [[Decepticon]] attack on the ''[[Iron Hope]]'' during the [[Unicron Singularity]] crisis. {{storylink|Force of Habit}}

*'''Slugslinger''' (Deluxe, 2004)
**''Accessories'': Missile

: Slugslinger transforms into a Cybertronic jet fighter with two nosecones. His fuselage splits to reveal a spring-loaded missile launcher for "Hyper Mode", which can also be deployed over his shoulder in robot mode. This toy is—of course—an [[homage]] to the [[Slugslinger (G1)|Generation 1 Decepticon of the same name]]. Slugslinger is notorious for his inability to peg together securely in either mode.

: This mold was [[Retool|retooled]] to make the ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Airazor (BW)#Club07|Chromia 10 Pilot]].

==Notes==
* Slugslinger's original face sculpt was deemed not mean-looking enough by [[Hasbro]]. [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] resculpted only one side, giving the toy its distinctive "Two-Face" look.
