ALLEGIANCE: AUTOBOT
SUB-GROUP: DINOBOT
FUNCTION: JUNGLE WARRIOR, DEMOLITIONS
FIRST APPEARANCE: TRANSFORMERS # 4
"Stomp your enemy, crush him under your feet."
Profile: Sludge likes to make his presence known. A few steps of his incredibly lumbering legs and everyone within a three-mile radius can hear - and feel - that he's around. But his awesome physical appearance belies his unusually gentle and shy nature. Like his fellow Dinobot, Slag , he is not happy with the leadership of Optimus Prime. He feels, however, the Autobot cause is more important than any personal misgivings and so he rarely exhibits his feelings. Such is not the case when Sludge is fired to battle - he then becomes a terrifying, unstoppable force.
Abilities: In Dinobot mode, Sludge can exert pressure up to 40,000 pounds per square inch with a single step, enough force to shatter a bridge or even crack a mountain. Only a handful of his comrades can match his immense strength and endurance. His armored hide can withstand all but the most powerful blasts. He's adept at operating in watery and swampy environments and in jungles.
Weaknesses: Sludge is often victim to the calamities he causes. Often his fellow Autobots must dig him out of the rubble he's brought down upon himself. Perhaps if he were more clever he'd figure out ways to avoid these predicaments. He's very slow due to his huge bulk.

Likes to make presence known -- a footstep can be heard and felt in a 3-mile radius. Gentle and shy, but terrifying and unstoppable in battle. Like other Dinobots, dislikes Optimus. Can exert 40,000 psi via feet -- enough to shatter a bridge. Immense strength and endurance. Adept at fighting in water, swamp, and jungle. Slow, not too clever -- often victim of the calamities he causes. | |||||||

**I got Sludge in October 2015 on a good deal eBay purchase. The Dinobots have been late to my collection mostly due to their popularity, therefore expensive cost of purchase. I just have decided to keep my eyes open for that rare deal, and this purchase of Sludge is one such deal. He was complete as of time of purchase, and came with his instructions, Energo Sword, Electron Cannon, Rocket Pod and three rockets. He is in very great cosmetic condition overall and is really almost mint. As my Dinobots go, he is in the second best condition of any I own as of his purchase date.
I also threw in a picture of my Dinobots facing off with Trypticon. While it is an obvious choice to do so, I thought it was cool, not only because its Dinos vs Dinos, but also because its heavy hitters on both sides duking it out.**
