Released in the post-Transformers-branding Beastformers toyline, Slag King is an anthropomorphic Pteranodon in high-tech green armor. He comes with his "Bone Hunt Laser", which can only be held in his right hand as his left is molded in an open-talon clawing pose. Instead of a rubsign, he has a transparent orb in his torso, revealing the elemental power of Fire, Water, or Wood when you look through it into a light source.

Slag King was only available with the Battle Savanna Battlecruiser, a chariot that can be ridden by any Laser Beast or Beastformer toy. Neither item was sold in the Hasbro Battle Beasts line, and being late entries in Beastformers, they command pretty high prices on the secondary market.
