- Accessories: Rifle/hatchet
- Known designers: Marcelo Matere (packaging artist)
- A redeco of the Beast Wars Neo Predacon Bazooka, Slapper transforms into an organic Euoplocephalus. His beast mode club-tail has a (weak) spring for a button activated "club attack" action. The tail also hides a hand-held weapon that serves double duty as both a rifle and a hatchet, depending on how Slapper holds it. The beast mode head features has a button activated jaw opening gimmick. He has a gray Dinobot spark crystal in his tummy with an Autobot symbol tampographed over it.
- He was available only in a Walmart-exclusive two-pack with Triceradon.
Notes
[edit]- Walmart's computer system had the two-pack listed as "Slag & Slugfest".
- Speaking of "slag", Slapper's name is a common insult for a loose woman in the United Kingdom... as is "slag". Dinobots must have potty-mouthed creators.
- Slapper and the other Dinobots had no "dimension" classification until an entry of the 2015 Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime assigned the 2003 Dinobots as Robots in Disguise (2001) characters.
