Slizardo
- Slizardo is an alien from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
An almost literal toady, Slizardo is a gibbering green alien whose loyalties belong to whoever is least likely to kill him at any one moment. His submissive nature and the fact he's not particularly good at being a ruthless criminal resulted in him experiencing much abuse while in the employ of Lord Gyconi of Monacus. Even free of Gyconi, he can't seem to help but fall into the influence of evil types.

When Smokescreen and the space gambler Bosch inadvertently allowed a group of brainwashed Autobots to fall into the clutches of Lord Gyconi, Slizardo was ordered to follow the pair in order to keep tabs on them. Shadowing them as they entered a bar, the luckless Slizardo was turned on by two thugs, but was saved by the Autobot bounty hunter Devcon, and swore loyalty to him. With his aid, Smokescreen, Bosch and Devcon discovered that Gyconi had sold the captive Autobots to the Decepticons and attacked, prompting the villains to flee. Preparing to give chase, Devcon offered a partnership to Slizardo, who happily accepted and jetted off into space with him. The Gambler
By 2006, it became apparent that Slizardo and Devcon had gone their separate ways, and Slizardo had fallen in with the alien mercenary, the Skuxxoid. Having already done several jobs for Galvatron, the Skuxxoid brought Slizardo in when he received his newest mission—to release anti-electrons into a power generator on Cybertron, which caused Autobots all across the planet to malfunction. When Grimlock shut the generator down, the anti-electrons vaporized, sending Galvatron into a rage, but Slizardo placated him by suggesting that he look inside Unicron's head for more.

Devcon expanded on the circumstances of his and Slizardo's separation, smirkingly telling Apelinq that after "about fifteen cycles", he left Slizardo floating in space when he got the information he needed from him. Jerk. Betrayal Devcon later noted that he had at least given Slizardo a space suit before abandoning him, and was considering restarting their partnership, albeit 300 years later. Still a jerk.
