| The name or term "Oil Slick" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Oil Slick (disambiguation). |
- Oil Slick is a Decepticon from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family (via the 2003 Universe toyline).
Lured by promises of power, Oil Slick has abandoned the Autobot code and joined with the Decepticons under the command of Unicron.
Fiction
Ask Vector Prime
In Aurex 203.26 Zeta, Oil Slick, Ransack, and Refute were battling Swerve and Roadhandler when Unicron abducted them.
Oil Slick constructed semi-sentient drone Search and Destroy Robots, based on scans of Nightbeat, to serve him during the Universe War, often as suicide bombers. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/04
Toys
Universe (2003)
- Crystal Widow vs Oil Slick (Multi-pack, 2004)
- Available only in a Kmart-exclusive 2-pack with the Autobot Crystal Widow, Universe Oil Slick is a redeco and minor retool of Armada Side Swipe, with the chest plate's molded Autobot sigil replaced with a molded Decepticon sigil. He transforms into a mix between a Nissan Skyline R32 Sedan and a Nissan Silvia S13. Pressing down on the sigil plate in vehicle mode swings his car hood halves forward in a spring-loaded attack. These hood parts end up on his arms in robot mode, giving him a spring-loaded attack in that mode.
- He comes with a Search and Destroy Robot mini-partner that can store in a flip-out section of the back end of Oil Slick's vehicle mode. Attaching the Search and Destroy Robot (or any other Mini-Con mold) to the Powerlinx plug on his back activates a "punching" action gimmick in his left arm.
- The same mold is used by Treadshot, and a heavily-retooled version was released in the Cybertron toyline as Runamuck.
Notes
- As Oil Slick's toy was packaged with a "versus Crystal Widow" theme, he was thought to be from a Generation 1 universe until the Facebook version of Ask Vector Prime revealed his continuity family of origin. And since the best known version of Crystal Widow was later confirmed to be from a Unicron Trilogy universe, this set now has a Unicron Trilogy theme to it. Bet you wish you got this set now!
