Slug (FOC)

While Slug is the most technically minded Dinobot, he has some anger issues. Temper control is not remarkable to anyone familiar with the team, but Slug takes it in a different direction; being extremely passive aggressive rather than suffering from explosive rage. He constantly looks for opportunities to get sarcastic digs in at those around him and he's not particularly bothered who they are. Friends, enemies, or just people with tremendously bad timing; all suffer snarky and sometimes cruel jabs in response to anything they say or do. This makes Slug one of the hardest Dinobots for outsiders to relate to.
Unfortunately, this bad attitude is backed up by a phenomenal stubbornness. Slug takes the straightest path in life and no amount of coaxing, reason, logic, debate or threats will convince him otherwise. He would literally rather slam his head against a solid wall than find a way round it. 
About the only thing that keeps Slug in line is Grimlock. Slug has an enormous respect for his leader, and while he may not do it with any good graces, he will always follow Grimlock's lead. That said, Grimlock is as much a target for jibes and ridicule as anyone else. Whether this is wise given Grimlock's self-control issues is irrelevant, as Slug never lets an opportunity to mock his leader pass him by. 
This overall belligerence may be why more than any of the others, Slug is one with his dinosaur form. It has gotten to the point where he has begun to despise his robot mode as a weak necessity. For him, Shockwave's experiments did not so much change him as allow his body to truly reflect the person inside: big, angry and with a head thicker than the hull of a ship.
