Slog (G1)
- Slog is a Decepticon in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Slog is one of the most refined and sophisticated Decepticons around. He was originally recruited to produce great works of art praising the glory and recording the rise of the great Decepticon Empire. Soon his masters discovered that he worked just as well in the battlefield as in a studio and like Buzzsaw before him, Slog became an artist of the warzone, carving Autobots into abstract modern art "masterpieces."
Slog might strike one as a grotesque monster given his artwork, but infact he really fights only when he must to stay alive and tries to make each fallen foe a work of art to honor their memory. Not a warrior at heart, Slog likes the wild abandon of creating destructive art from non-living material but is troubled by the lives lost in the Autobot/Decepticon conflict. It was this troubled spirit that lead to the founding of the Slogism movement. The utilization of his work by the Autobots and his general doubts about the cause have put him on the outs with his superiors.
Like Windcharger before him, Slog weilds a powerful magnetic ability that he can use to manipulate and tear other robots apart.
He can combine with his fellow Monster Pretenders to form Monstructor.
