...is HAPPEEEEEEE!!

The prodigious speed of Slap Dash (also Slapdash) allows him to do everything quickly—which he likes, because anything else would require effort. He's content to just breeze carelessly through life, but an encounter with the brutal bike-bot Trenchmouth may make him wish he'd taken the time to plan ahead...

Fiction

Titan movie comics

See? Trenchmouth pissed him off good.

Slapdash and Hubcap were summoned to Earth by Optimus Prime himself to join a new, covert unit (not even admitting its function to NEST) led by Bumblebee. As open battles were turning humans against the Transformers, Prime wanted to them to monitor the Decepticons, wait for windows of opportunity out of the public eye, and then hit hard and fast.

Both agreed to this, but when Crankstart, Brimstone, and Trenchmouth ran amok in Salt Lake City, they had second thoughts: Slapdash agreed with Hubcap that they should take action, feeling it was like they were running scared and voicing concerns that humans would start dying if they didn't intervene. Bumblebee had him stick to the plan though, and the unit hit the Decepticons in an isolated stretch of road, tearing through them. Shadow War

"Hang on guys, I'll be right back, I just need to go take some drugs and have premariAAAARG—"

Bumblebee's team were a key part of the strike on Bludgeon's command hub in Russia. However, they were betrayed by one of their own and the Autobots ended up driving into an ambush. A panicked Slapdash cried out they'd been set up when Bludgeon emerged from the shadows, correcting him that they'd been betrayed, and slaughtered him from behind. Divided Loyalties

Appropriately, Slap Dash is too lazy to transform his chest the right way.
  • Windy City Chase (Scout Class 2-pack, 2010)
Slap Dash is a redeco of the Scout Class Dead End, transforming into a modified Peugeot 9009 concept car. His new orange and grey color scheme is very similar to that of Generation 1 Wheelie. In addition to his otherwise fairly normal articulation, his jaw can open to reveal rows of jagged teeth.
The Hasbro stock photos depict his robot mode mistransformed; his chest wasn't folded in tightly.
A Walmart exclusive, Slap Dash comes packaged versus Trenchmouth. This package is included in the N.E.S.T. Global Alliance promotion.
This mold was also used to make Revenge of the Fallen Nightbeat.

Notes

[edit]
  • Despite Jon Davis-Hunt's art being toy-based, Slapdash isn't given his toy's monstrous teeth but a friendlier, Afterburn-ish mouth instead. Hey, he's a goodie robot!
