[[Image:|right|350px|thumb|Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry.]] Slugfest isn't so bright. Scratch that—he's a complete and utter dimwit. Not only that, he's a complete and utter dimwit who's so paranoid about what others think of him that the smallest whiff of a supposed slight against his person will send him into a berserker destructive rage. Hope he never reads this.

Very often the source of the supposed "insults" is whatever message he's carrying in his function as a data courier. Berserker destructive rages aren't very good for recorded data, and often result in their destruction.

• Slugfest and Overkill (1987)

Slugfest transforms from a microcassette into a robotic Stegosaurus.

His spine-plates are on springs so they pop out once his head and tail are flipped down. He also came with two chromed cannons to attach to his beast mode. In the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hasbro" title="Hasbro">Hasbro</a> series, he was only available in a two-pack with <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Overkill" title="Overkill">Overkill</a>.

• Slugfest (Cassettron, 1987)

Japanese ID number: D-108

The <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Takara" class="mw-redirect" title="Takara">Takara</a>
