Could be worse. He could be named after a a British woman who exchanges money for sexual favors.

so its them who would have forced the change...

...well that and the "mummy what does that mean?" all the time

I don't think kids would be asking that. They should just think of it as his name. That's what I did with everything I've ever watched. I never asked, "what does hulk mean?" or anything like that

"Slug" is also another term for "punch." As in "I slugged him right in the jaw."

That is a good point. I just don't like that they changed his name. That's like calling Spiderman, Arachnidman afterwards. It's just weird.

Well, no. Because Spider-Man isn't an insult in real life, and also it's not an insult in the comic itself. Slag is.

If this was the 90's WCW would have a job for you.

Yes. But he didn't make them. Shockwave did. Wheeljack's a Wrecker, remember?

if you ask the kids over here you will be upset and shocked....and anyways its always the ignorant parents that will protest - and there are a lot of them out there

True. So, seeming how all five Dinobots are in this. You think they might be the combiner to fight Bruticus like in the IDW comic?

The Dinobots couldn't combine.

Well, except that one time. We don't talk about that abomination.

There were also two other times. Except that one of those involved only two Dinobots, while the other time had five but only one was a real character (the other four were drones).

Neither of which were the G1 Dinobots, which is what I believe was being originally referenced.

Then again this is a brand new continuity. The potential is there for them to combine. Doubtful, but it could happen.

well this is some of shockwave's "project" experiments.... it could also lead into explaining combination - could be the precursor to the combiners...

...as in "oops a bit over-clocked on this one... will need to refine the process"

Except that Shockwave had already built both Bruticus Maximus and the Devastators before he had gotten his hands on the LSC/Dinobots. Bruticus was the combiner prototype.

duhr forgot about that one... still it would be nice if it was the first combiner and everyone was like "err lets not use that again...."

Yeah the Dinobots will most likely not combine. But hopefully Superion will be in it seeming how Brawl and Onslaught (not in the story mode but you know) were in the first game and Silverbolt and Airraid too. Bruticus vs. Superion would be sweet

No way. If the awesomeness of Devastator from ROTF killed a computer, then a fight between Superion and Bruticus in an already seemingly-awesomer-by-the-day game would just completely fry your mind.
