	* Slugfest had the preliminary ~~name~~ of "Crunchback".		* Slugfest had the preliminary names of Crunchback and Bruiser.
	* Slugfest's [[robot mode]] is drawn without his weapons attached in his only appearance in the cartoon. A lot of the season three and four [[character model]]s showcased the characters without their weapons/accessories attached to better show off the details that would be hidden by them. Instead they featured dotted lines that pointed towards the places that they should be placed on the body (other examples of this can be found with the [[Technobot (G1)\|Technobot]]s and [[Sixshot (G1)\|Sixshot]]). This appears to have resulted in Slugfest being depicted as if his weapon placements were optional, unlike the previous cassette Transformers to appear in the show. As it happens, [[Marvel Comics\|Marvel]]'s ''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)\|The Transformers Universe]]'' character profile for Slugfest featured his weapons attached—though, they were attached in the holes by his shoulders instead of the designated hip ports that the dotted lines point to. Some of the dotted lines were also kept in the Marvel profile image, so he has random lines that trail off of his body into the white abyss of the page. Whoops.		* Slugfest's [[robot mode]] is drawn without his weapons attached in his only appearance in the cartoon.
