Fiction

Shattered Glass

Sludge and the Dinobots were created by Wheeljack as his own personal army, intending to use them against Optimus Prime, who had slighted Wheeljack in the past. The scientist mobilised them during an Autobot/Decepticon battle at Arch-Ayr, with Wheeljack riding on top of Sludge's head. Though impressive, even by Prime's standards, the Dinobots failed to live up to Wheeljack's dream... because they immediately started to fight each other. Despite his size, Sludge was hit hard enough that Wheeljack was sent tumbling from his perch into the chaos below. Dungeons & Dinobots

Notes

• Sludge is physically based on "Generation 1" Sludge, but in Constructicon green and purple.
• Sludge was not named in "Dungeons & Dinobots", but artist Evan Gauntt later revealed that he had been called for in the story's script. However, unlike fellow Dinobots Doryu and Kakuryu, who only appear in the accompanying illustration, Sludge is actually in the story, being described as "a long-necked horror with a massive, whip-like tail".
