Slugslinger (G1)

This article is about the Generation 1 Decepticon. For the Unicron Trilogy Decepticon, see Slugslinger (Energon).

Slugslinger is a Decepticon Targetmaster in the Generation 1 continuity family.

His name is fun to say.

If you ask Slugslinger to describe himself, he'll tell you all about how he'll never turn down a chance to duel anyone, because he knows he'll always win. That is, assuming his Nebulan partner, Caliburst, still has some ammo left for Slugslinger to use to gun down his opponent from a distance. Take that away, and suddenly he's not such a tough guy after all.

Funny, that.

French-Canadian name: Lance-Balle

Trivia

Targetbastards.

• Slugslinger is, of course, the inspiration for the Energon-series homage-toy Slugslinger.

• Slugslinger's design was used as a "generic" Decepticon in the Linkage mini-comics, in a flashback showing Redline and Flat-Out's former Decepticon masters. This fits in with the general theme of using Generation 1 character models as unnamed extras in the Armada cartoon. Of course, his actual appearance fits in with artist Hirofumi Ichikawa's general theme of using the toys as a visual reference rather than the character models used in animation; that is so not Slugslinger's Headmasters design.
