Remember when they changed Trailbreaker to Trailcutter, then back to Trailbreaker? I was hoping Slug was only in the Bayverse. But the SS86 box says Slug.
And even worse, I'm seeing a lot of fans calling him Slug. That's just not right.
Blame the desire not to offend anyone in the world. It's not trademarks this time around
I drove by a local church the other day & the sign out front said "These days everybody is offended by everything but sin". Boy ain't that the truth? This outrage culture being offended by everything is ridiculous. Let them be offended, it's only words, it can't hurt them, they'll be fine & they'll get over it.
Oh wow I just Googled it I had no idea! It's unfortunate that the characters original name is what it is. In my head I can recall transformers using the term similarly to "well thats just prime" as an "aw crap" kind of thing
Name change is completely understandable considering he's technically meant for kids. Slug it is
