Mudslinger (G1)

Mudslinger is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

"Everybody says they don't like me, but who do they all come to in election season?"

Mudslinger is the macho tough-guy of the Off Road Patrol. Powertrain wishes he would learn to take a little constructive criticism. Things like, "Don't pick fights when we're trying to be covert."

In Japan, Mudslinger -like all Micromasters- had no discernible personality outside of "chirpy little kid".
