Slag (G1)
| This article is about the Dinobot from Generation 1. For the expletive, see Slag (slang). |
- Slag is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Slag is the Dinobot most likely to live up to the team's bad reputation. Slag is surly, mean-spirited, nasty, and disturbingly violent, to the point where it really is a wonder he's not a Decepticon. Slag will fight anyone, over anything, at the drop of a microchip, and fight dirty. Slag enjoys nothing more than reducing his enemies (and he's more than willing to include annoying Autobots on that list) to pools of molten metal. He'd swim in the pools to celebrate if he could.
None of the Dinobots really like Optimus Prime, but he and Sludge share an especially intense dislike for him. Slag's bad attitude means the rest of the Autobot forces are unlikely to come to his aid when he bites off more than he can chew.

Trivia
The European exclusive Action Master Decepticon Charger cribs Slag's quote, his function, much of his bio and tech spec numbers. Whether there was any relation intended between the characters or if the copywriters just got lazy is unknown.
