Slugslinger is aDecepticon warrior who fights the evilAutobots alongside his leaderMegatron. He has an overdeveloped sense of fair-play.
Slugslinger was among the Decepticons that attackedOptimus Prime'sArk. He was apparently injured during the battle, as he was later seen being assisted bySoundwave.Shattered Glass
He was part of the crew of theNemesis when it crashed onEarth. AfterBlitzwing had anoPod implanted in himself which began broadcasting music overAutobot frequencies,Starscream and Slugslinger accompanied him on a mission to stopSwoop andStar Saber. Slugslinger menaced Star Saber, who was so frightened he dropped his spear. Sportingly, Slugslinger waited for him to pick up the spear again before shooting it out of his hands, and Star Saber made an attempt to flee. The two Autobots were seen off by Blitzwing's oPod broadcast, though Slugslinger reflected that it didn't seem a very fair weapon.Blitzwing Bop
AfterSephie Beller had herself augmented with Cybertronian tech and tried to take on the Autobots on her own, Slugslinger was part of the team that went to help her. They were promptly captured and bound by the Autobots. WhenR.J. Blackrock arrived and began fighting the Autobots with hisCenturion armored mech, the Decepticons initially believed that he was there to help them. When he revealed that he regardedall Cybertronians as potential technology goldmines, Slugslinger's disappointment was made audible. They were ultimately rescued by Sephie, who overloaded the Centurion and carried it to a safe distance before it exploded.Transhuman
