	'''Slapper''' ~~(aka '''Goosher''')~~ is a dim-witted thug, even by Predacon standards.

Slapper manages to combine stealth and stupidity; his prowess in amphibious assaults makes it easy for him to sneak up on foes, but he's so gullible that once he gets there, he can just about be talked out of fighting.

	When the Predacons brought back a pile of small batteries to use as energy, Megatron was not impressed and put [[Sky-Byte (RID)\|Sky-Byte]] in charge of them on a mission to retrieve an explosive device. The trio found the car and prepared to take it to Megatron, but Sky-Byte destroyed the car and took the bomb. The shark was himself intercepted by X-Brawn, who inadvertently activated the device, causing the three Predacons to flee.

	Slapper destroyed a freight train and found himself mocked by Sky-Byte for being useless. Sky-Byte aimed to attack the super-advanced [[Linear RFG]] train instead. To that end, Slapper and [[Gas Skunk]] planted a [[pulsar bomb]] on a bridge on the bullet train's course, and found themselves fighting both the Autobot Brothers and Optimus Prime. Although they were eventually chased off, they succeeded in destroying the bridge, forcing the Autobots to save the train. {{storylink\|Bullet Train to the Rescue}}		Slapper destroyed a freight train and found himself mocked by Sky-Byte for being useless.
