"Slug" is slang over here for Penis originating from the Australian navy.

Now that I know the real reason I think the name change is absolutely hilarious!!
Next he could be known as "Slog" (even though a certain Pretender Monster already owns that name).Bubbah wrote:JaffleMaker wrote:That Bot wrote:"Slag" has been retired as a name and an expletive because it's a derogatory term in British English equivalent to "slut".

Different character model and different character. New guy based on the design of a different old guy.Homerjay14522 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Hot Shot.Homerjay14522 wrote:I would, Cyclonus looks awesome as does Hot Rod.
