Title:
Transformers Power Of The Primes Slug (Slag)
Description:
Dinobot Slug (Deluxe Class, 2017)
Japanese ID number: PP-11
Japanese release date: 2018-06-30
Accessories: Blaster, Prime Armor/combiner hand, Prime Master gap filler/gun
Power of the Primes Slug is visually simplified from his original G1 design, which can transform into a robotic Triceratops, as well as form a limb for Volcanicus or any other Combiner Wars-style combiner (or into one of Legends Godbomber’s legs). Like the other Dinobots in this subline, Slug is partially composed of translucent plastic with gold paint on the inside to give him a ’layered’ look reminiscent of his original toy. Like all other Power of the Primes Deluxe Class figures, he comes with Prime Armor with a place for a Prime Master, Enigma, or Matrix core) that can transform into a hand for a combiner. It can be plugged into his back in Triceratops mode, or worn on either his chest or back in robot mode. He also comes with a piece that can fill the gap in the chest armor or be held as a gun.Despite his colossal footprint in robot mode, Slug has an annoying tendency to be back-heavy, even with his dedicated heel pieces. The peghole on Slug’s leg used to attach the combiner feet is also very thinly molded and easily broken. Extreme caution should be taken when plugging anything into it or manipulating what may have already been inserted. Should the plastic snap, its tension will be severely reduced and may lead to the combiner hands or feet falling out. In some cases, it may simply not be possible to avoid breaking the peghole aside from not using it. The peghole on the bottom of his foot used for combiner hands is considerably thicker and less prone to breakage however.Stock photography shows him with a mistransformed beast mode: the Triceratops head/neck is adjustable to have the frill around the head stand up closer to the G1 dinosaur model. This does however mean the Triceratops head does not lock in place in dino mode, it simply rests atop the tabs which would otherwise secure it in place.While his instructions show his arms pointing toward the combiner torso in arm mode, the slots on the outside of his arms and pegs on his sides suggest they should be pointed backwards and pegged in place.In China, he was also released along with the other 4 Dinobots as a gift-set, exclusive to Hasbro China’s TianMao site.This mold was heavily retooled into fellow Dinobot Sludge.
