Sludge was actually my favorite dinobot because I used to love Brontosaurus's. I know, I know Apato whatever. Brachio whatever. To me, dinos like him will always be brontosaurus's. So, even though I thought I would not be buying any AOE toys, I just might have to pick it up if they make on of him.
Besides, these are the only two, besides Slag, that do not look like dragons instead of dinosaurs.

Snarl looks more like a Kentrosaurus with his spikes arranged the way they are.
And due to his own spikes, Slog might be a stylized variation of an Amargasaurus or Ampelosaurus.

They all look finosaurs to me. Maybe I'll visit them, and they'll say "We're glad you came-n-saurus".

It will interesting to hear why they chose Slog over Sludge. Also I wonder if these two will be in the movie or just in the video game?

Hey Spleenzorio,
As to why did they change the names there is a simple answer....Michael Bay. He has messed with names at every opportunity in the franchise. I was so looking forward to a non-Bay Transformers film.

Erm, Hasbro's the one who has all the names, here. They made the call on "Slag to Slug" back in Fall of Cybertron, as well as "Swoop to Strafe" here because they felt the two-headedness was too different from the typical Swoop look for him to be Swoop. "Sludge to Slog" is probably another one of these cases.lupinesithlord wrote:Hey Spleenzorio,

Or "Slog" was easier to copyright than "Sludge".

More Dinobots is always a good thing. Hope these two actually get toys (I'm assuming Snarl's would be green, given the Kre-O, dunno about Slog. Yellow, maybe? They already got most of the other colors, I think).
Wonder why they went with "Slog"? It's even more similar to "Slug" than "Sludge" was.

They need to be the colors they are in the photos. A yellow version of this design would kill my interest for sure.

Yellow would be brilliant! Purple Slug, green Snarl, orange-brown-grey Grimlock, red Scorn, blue Strafe. Yellow is indeed missing.

Yes 
I look forward to more Dinobots, even if they're not in the movie. I kind of like toys that aren't in the fiction as the comics or even personal canon can take more liberty in their characterization.

I agree on Snarl looking like a Kentrosaurous. But that depends on his size compared to the other Dinobots -- the Kentrosaur was always the smaller of the "stego" types. One thing that would have been awesome is that if they made, instead of Scorn with a Spinosaur, they could have done an Ankylosaur, and give him a morning star as a weapon. That would have been epic.

It's a shame that Sludge/Slog is probably only going to be deluxe-sized. I would've liked him bigger.

The giant list from Hasbro customer service system from way back that revealed a lot of these toys ahead of time had a "Slog" listed under the Voyager assortment.Mkall wrote:It's a shame that Sludge/Slog is probably only going to be deluxe-sized. I would've liked him bigger.

Well that's good at least.
I'd prefer to see these designs in a more natural, static pose instead of the "dog playing fetch" sprint they have them in.

I remember some one from hasbro telling "if you like dinosaurs you will love this"... I think was sarcasm.

Yes. Slog an old Transformer name that has only been used in G1. I know that these Dinobots aren't going to be in the movie, even though they look as tough as nails.
Some people have wondered if there were going to be any characters that'll sell as toys that weren't in the movie. This answers their question. Good job for bringing that up!

Who are Duke, Adrian, and Ivan?
I looked at the list and it seems that Toy Fair was only the first and second wave. Maybe the next waves will be revealed at Bot Con? Well, there is obviously more to come.
