Bio: Slug, along with the rest of his team - the Lightning Strike Coalition - once fell victim to gruesome experiments from the Decepticon scientist Shockwave. And thus, the Dinobots were born. Slug is the Dinobot most likely to live up to the team's often 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 sometimes. Slug will fight anyone, over anything, at the drop of a microchip, and fight dirty if he has to. Slug 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 with his fire-breath. He'd swim in the pools to celebrate if he could. None of the Dinobots really like Optimus Prime all that much, but he and Sludge seem to share an especially intense dislike of him. But, it's not just Prime's orders he questions. He'll even mouth off at Grimlock every now and then if he wants to, but somehow does not end up as scrap or lunch, surprisingly enough. Slug'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.
Funnily enough, the only bot he seems to show any sense of compassion for the most is their fembot friend, Windrun. Any other Autobot is a mere obstacle in his path.

Another character design for the series: fav.me/d7a5j66 This time, it's my own personal design for the Dinobot Slug. Yeah, it really has been a while since I've designed any of the Dinobots. Seriously, I've only ever designed Grimlock:
So, I've decided to crack on with the rest of the Dinobots, including Swoop. ^.^ Of course, in the case of the TF Burning Fury Dinobots, I'm slightly tweaking the original G1 designs and working them around more realistically shaped Dinosaurs. Y'know, giving the G1 designs more personalized looking updates. Unlike Grimlock, whom I went a little too far with. And yes, I'm sticking with "Slug" instead of "Slag". That name's a little harsh for him in tastes, frankly.
