Nice, if simple. The transformation is a simplified G1 transformation. He's more poseable, of course. Much of the engineering is geared towards combining (something I couldn't care less for), so Slag himself is fairly simple - but he works. I'm happy with him.

Got Slug today, overall I'm impressed and the size doesn't bother me as much as I thought. Cartoon Slag is my favourite G1 character, so this guy was a big deal for me to get and he's pretty much everything you need for him.

Sword would be nice but isn't the end of the world, as is my desire for a red head. His head is cast in red plastic, so the paint can always be removed for a cartoon (better) look.

Slug has me pumped for the other dinobots and I think I might display them in dino modes after all. Now to find a Swoop and Grimlock.

A very simple, straightforward deluxe although mine came without instructions and I hope that won't make the combiner aspect of transformation a chore.

I sympathize with Bidoofdude about a lack of melee weapon but at least he comes with a firearm which is more than can be said for Grimlock.

Really happy with Slug. The joints on my copy seem to be nice and tight, too. A second weapon would be good, but one is better than nothing at all.

Is the deco on each of the lower legs a sticker or tampo?
