| The name or term "Slog" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Slog (disambiguation). |
- Slog is an Autobot Dinobot from the Age of Extinction portion of the movie continuity family.
Slog is dumb. Really dumb. Even Grimlock can out-smart him. But it actually proves strategic, as all his brain cells have been traded to pure robot muscle. As a warrior from Cybertron's ancient past who transforms into a robotic Apatosaurus, he can take out any opponent (provided that any of the other Dinobots can point him in the right direction).
