 Species: Trike

 Type: Transmorpher(Autob)

 Habitat: Varies

 Disposition: Violent, Strong-willed

 Diet: Men’s spirit energy

 One of the species that make up the Dynobots: Slag appear as robotic Trikes in the typical Dynobot colors. Capable of morphing into a robotic Triceratops, Slags are very well armored in alt-mode, being able to take hits. In alt-mode all Dynobots have the ability to breath a sort of plasma fire at their enemies, but the Slags seem to possess the strongest flame: being able to melt most things in a matter of seconds. For some odd reason: after they melt something they will try to bathe in the molten remains of the object, no matter if it was living or unliving: leading their armor to be highly fire-resistant as well.

 While for the most part the Dynobots are known to be colossal assholes, no single species lives up to this reputation more than the Slags. Uncooperative, indignant, mean-spirited and unusually violent for an Autob, it's really a wonder why they're not a Deceptor species: they certainly beat out quite of their few species in terms of their combative streak. Slags are notorious for starting fights at the drop of a microchip for no reason. The only other thing they seem to enjoy besides fighting seems to be drinking high-grade Energex, and even then once they’re intoxicated it often leads to more conflict, creating an unfortunate cycle.

 Though most Dynobots as a fault tend to dislike the Convoy’s and how they run the Autobs, aside from the Sludges, the Slag’s seem to have an especially intense hate for them. This revulsion they have to the higher Autob command stretches far beyond the Convoy’s though: outside of the Dynobots they treat most other bots with general disgust; often deeming them “Too soft” for their liking, and they will be quite vocal on this opinion as well(With the common results often burning many bridges where there could have been alliances.). Even the Grimlocke they follow is not safe from their venomous tongue: leading to many fights where the Grimlocke has to remind the Slag of her place. Outside of that the main consequences of their general attitude seems to merely be that other Autobs never come for a Slag’s assistance when they are danger, furthering their distaste of other Autobs. Often the only way one can earn the respect of a Slag is to be a fellow fighter that plays as dirty as them in fights.

 Due to….well, practically everything about their personalities, Slag’s have virtually no luck when it comes to finding a man whether it be befriending one or getting one to mate with her. As a result, they usually tend to get males in battle; often by knocking out a random guy and moving him away from the others under the guise of going off to have their own little brand of “Fun”(Which technically isn’t wrong admittedly.) During the act, from what sources gather a Slag’s credo while mating is “Anything goes as long as it happens to him.” essentially: for the first time they  will test out whatever they feel like is pleasuring(Often with the male still unconscious as well.) After the deed the Slag will be forced to take responsibility by the other Dynobots and take the male as a husband.

 While admittedly for a time the Slag will be cold to her new husband, eventually she will end up warming up to him as a lover and will start to treat him like another Dynobot, and beyond that as an actual lover. Generally, to end up with that sort of a bond with a Slag takes tremendous time however, and the Slag usually does not make it easy. But if enough time has passed there will be genuine affection from her end, with her reasoning on her end being “He’s an idiot...but he’s my idiot I guess.”. For the most part a Slag is not up-front with her affection: often the most her husband can expect is a forced grimace and an awkward silence, when alone she will be more than willing to have sex with him any time….provided she gets high-grade Energex afterword

 Oddly: while on Cybertopia their species’s name happens to be a rather popular expletive(Which seems just right for some reason), many soft earthen cultures find their name offensive as well (Albeit for different reasons.), leading many Slag’s galactically to rebrand their species as “Slugs” (Also a name that is quite fitting), whether or not this name change is widespread or going to be permanent remains to be seen as of now.

 (Okey, tricky little bit of work here: in G1 Slag was a complete douche who seemed to hate everything, obviously after I did the Tryptic that sort of angle couldn’t be done again, So I ended up toning down that bit and made them at least capable of affection(It just takes a lot of effort to get there). I realize this sort of manamo isn’t for everyone but out of respect for the character I feel I did the best I could’ve.
