| The name or term "Sledge" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Sledge (disambiguation). |
- Sledge is a Decepticon Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Sledge is a warrior first, and a builder a distant second. While his construction work is professional, his first joy in life is scrapping his enemies. Like his teammate Stonecruncher, he displays a surprising amount of loyalty to the Constructor Squad. Despite his intelligence, he's lacking in imagination, and isn't really a designer by nature, so his teammates usually need to touch-up his work. He's also not good at focusing his attention on more than one thing at a time. His combiner partner is Hammer.[1]
