    So is this the sequel to Rage of the Dinobots? Interesting. Wonder how many issues will it last?

    There had better be some serious Sludge service. I'm still pissed he wasn't in the DLC from FOC.

    Slug?

    Was Slag replaced by Slug or is that a typo?

    He was called Slug in Fall of Cybertron. I don't know if there's been an official reason given for why his name was changed, but there are definitely plenty of possible reasons.

    Honestly, I couldn't care less about this. It appears that they're still trying to link WfC/FoC with Prime, and we've already established that they are different universes, no matter what Hasbro may or may not want us to believe. Honestly, I'm happy to have separate Transformers universes and combined ones as well, as long as Hasbro doesn't try to force continuity of series that shouldn't otherwise be together (which is what they're doing here).

    Intentional. Slag is apparently an insult in the UK.

    "Slag" is UK slang for "Slut". Hasbro's trying to encapsulate the worldwide market and not just the US, so words that are considered naughty anywhere are off-limits from now on. That's also why he was called Snarl in Animated.

    The FoC Dinobot designs are so much better than the godawful IDW ones. They really need to bring them to the IDW-verse.

    Whether or not the Dinobots are in the show I don't really care,as I don't get the Hub channel,but what does interest me is they are being shown again in IDW's comic book for a second time,and hopefully this is a sign that we just might see the Dinobots in figure form one day,if so they are so bought on site.

    Actually it's a derogative term for a woman in pretty much the rest of the world. Same vein as Slut/Whore would be used. So I can completely understand why Hasbro changed the name.

    Also, lol to the "thrill-a-minute storytelling" said of TF Prime. Not sure who would agree there.
