Fiction
Classics
Oil Slick was one of the dissatisfied Mini-Cons recruited by Broadside to oppose the return of the Autobots to Cybertron. Along with his partners Grindor and Dirt Rocket, Oil Slick sneaked into the trans-hyperwave caster tower to change the data-con signal being broadcast into space. By altering the message to declare Cybertron quarantined, Broadside's followers hoped to deter the bulks from returning.
Unfortunately, they were caught by the suspicious Dinobot, Hacksaw. Oil Slick's boys triple-teamed Hacksaw, but a combination of brute strength and dirty fighting carried the Dinobot through the battle. Broadside arrived and had his own fierce (and climactic) fight with Hacksaw, but by then the damage had been done...no new signal would be broadcast. Broadside ordered Oil Slick and the Dirt Digger Team to go underground while he tried to find a way to spin the night's events to his advantage. The New World

Classics
- Dirt Digger Team (Mini-Con Team, 2007)
- Oil Slick transforms into a genericized muscle car, a cross between a late 1960s Chevrolet Camaro, a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, a 1970 Dodge Charger and a 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee. His robot-mode "hands" (actually a knife and a pincer-like claw) can be left deployed out of his grill in car mode. He was only available as part of the Dirt Digger Team, part of the second wave of Classics Mini-Cons, packaged with his teammates Dirt Rocket and Grindor.
- He's pretty unstable when standing straight, as his feet are placed too far off to the front with his heels additionally being too short to support his back, with the result being that he often falls on said back. One could pose him to bend over to make him stable, but then he would end up staring at the ground.
Notes
- Oil Slick's alternate mode and base color were inspired by the General Lee, the car from the TV series The Dukes of Hazzard.
- Like all Classics Mini-Cons, Oil Slick was originally intended to be in a Cybertron series Mini-Con two-pack. It is currently unknown what his intended name, allegiance, and pack-in partner would have been.
