Slo

Slo is a Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Slo (スロー Surō), also known as Nama-chan (ナマちゃん), is one of the Autobot-allied Beastformers fighting a war on the planet Beast. Born on the Müller Peninsula, a popular tourist spot, he's a mild-mannered and diplomatic fellow with a great sense of an area's local color. He has many hobbies, including music and sports, and is a movie actor in times of peace. His role in the Autobot Beastformer forces is Staff Officer and he wields the Slow-Bar, an MVP Weapon that grants him the ability to see all movement in slow motion for 60 seconds. He also holds the rank of King of Hamanan, over Emperor Earthhog, and his reign is popular among young Beastformers, many of who have emigrated from the nearby Barāki and Gun Marino.

Beastformers

• Slo (Beastformer, 1987)
  • Beast ID number: 66

Slo is an anthropomorphic sloth with green robotic armor. He came with his "Slow-Bar" (スローバー) spear. He has one of three rubsigns on his chest, revealing the elemental power of fire, water, or wood.

• Burst Sun Special Set (Multi-pack, 1987)

The first Beastformers multipack (still using the Transformers logo and factions) contained nine normal figures, then one of two special editions of the faction leaders, either a clear-plastic version of Alligatron, or White Leo with the "Burstsun" rubsign. The box contained no windows, so you didn't know which of the leaders you got until you opened it up.

The other nine standard Beastformers in the set were Black Jaguar, Būpink, Crowmax, Dog Hunter, Dreameater, Earthhog, Mingo Kid, Muskhorn, and Slo.

Notes

• Slo's original Japanese name is a transliteration of both "slow" (スロー) and a portion of "sloth" (スロース). Thus, his name can be Romanized as "Slo" or "Slow".
