	Several months after the golden age of Cybertron was reintroduced, more and more Transformers were succumbing to the effects of Nucleon. Slag was the only Dinobot still able to transform at this time. When Grimlock received information that the Hydrus Four facilities had reopened and discovered a means of reversing Nucleonic changes, the Dinobots jumped at the idea. Despite Prime's half-hearted warnings, Slag and his teammates followed Grimlock back to Hydrus Four in the hopes of becoming Transformers once again. They were followed by the "exiled" Decepticons, however, and a battle with a huge native creature delayed the Dinobots long enough for Bludgeon's crew to get ahead of them and take over the Nucleon facility. The Dinobots were laid low by a [[Holocaust Trigger]], overloading their sensory circuits so that they were helpless before the Decepticons. Cruelly tortured, the Dinobots were still left alive so that they could witness the rebirth of Megatron, thanks to the Nucleon infusions Bludgeon was feeding him. Luckily, the Autobots had long since learned to become worried whenever the Dinobots were out of sight for too long, and had followed them to Hydrus Four.

			Before the war, Slug wanted to become a pyrotechnician, but his armored personnel carrier alt-mode required him to serve in the Autobot military, and he was unable to change careers. He was sent to prison for burning down his barracks in protest, where he first met Grimlock and later became a Dinobot.

The Dinobots reconvened in the medical bay, where Grimlock made sure Ratchet attended to Swoop in short order. Just as repairs on their comrade neared completion, Guardian burst into the room, and the Dinobots engaged the droid once again. However, Guardian was not planning to beat the Autobots through brute force this time around; instead, the droid had activated the bomb within its body, and was counting down to detonation. Slag and the others were spared from utter destruction by Swoop, who flew Guardian up into the sky before the bomb went off.

The situation became more difficult, however, once they uncovered the presence of a [[Nuclear weapon\|thermonuclear bomb]] inside of Guardian.'' {{storylink\|The Wrath of Guardian!}} ''Wheeljack managed to prevent the Dinobots from reducing the Ark to a smoldering crater by remote-controlling Optimus Prime's body, interrupting their execution of Guardian. This unfortunately allowed the droid to strike back, and it fled after knocking all of its opponents aside. The Dinobots reconvened in the medical bay, where [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Grimlock]] made sure Ratchet attended to [[Swoop (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Swoop]] in short order. Just as repairs on their comrade neared completion, Guardian burst into the room, and the Dinobots engaged the droid once again. However, Guardian was not planning to beat the Autobots through brute force this time around; instead, the droid had activated the bomb within its body, and was counting down to detonation. Slag and the others were spared from utter destruction by Swoop, who flew Guardian up into the sky before the bomb went off. With the apparent loss of one of their comrades, Slag and the other Dinobots chose to leave the Ark and seek their own path on Earth.'' {{storylink\|The Wrath of Grimlock!}}
