| This article is about the Generation 1 Dinobot. For the movieverse Dinobot, see Slash (AOE). |
- Slash is an Autobot Dinobot from Generation 1 continuity family.
Slash is the newest member of the Dinobots.
Toys
Generations
- Dinobot Slash (Legends, 2018)
- Power of the Primes Slash is a Legends Class figure, which can transform into a rough, robotic approximation of a Velociraptor.
- Though she was released alongside her five teammates who combine into Volcanicus, Slash does not form any part of the Dinobot combiner.
Notes
- Slash is inspired by the Age of Extinction character of the same name.
- While Slash was advertised as the first female Dinobot, this isn't quite correct. Slash is the first female Dinobot to receive a toy, as well as the first female Dinobot with an actual dinosaur mode, but she was preceded in fiction by the female Dinobot Strafe, who appeared in the IDW Generation 1 continuity and transforms into a draconic Orthrus-like creature.
- Incidentally, Age of Extinction Slash was also intended by designers to be female, but this did not make it into published bios.
- The theme of Dinobot names having an unfortunate double meaning in the UK, started with Slag and continuing with Slapper, gains another entry here: "having a slash" is slang for "to urinate"[1].
