Sledge (G1)

The name or term "Sledge" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Sledge (disambiguation).

Sledge is a Decepticon Micromaster from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

You could have a steam train, if you'd just lay down your tracks.

Sledge is a warrior first, and a builder a distant second. While his construction work is professional, his first joy in life is scrapping his enemies. Like his teammate Stonecruncher, he displays a surprising amount of loyalty to the Constructor Squad. Despite his intelligence, he's lacking in imagination, and isn't really a designer by nature, so his teammates usually need to touch-up his work. He's also not good at focusing his attention on more than one thing at a time. His combiner partner is Hammer.

Toys

Generation 1

Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

• Constructor Squad (Micromaster Combiner Squad, 1990)

Sledge transforms into the front half of an orange dump truck which is intended to be combined with his partner Hammer to form a complete sledgehammer dump truck. He can, of course, be connected to any other Micromaster Combiner.

Sledge was only available in a six-pack with his squad mates Hammer, Excavator, Grit, Knockout and Stonecruncher.

This toy was sold without changes in Japan as the Autobot Sledge. It was also used to make his fellow Decepticon Cement-Head.
