I always forget that word is a slur in other English dialects. Here in America where he was originally named it's just a common word for superheated melting metal. It's super surreal to me. Dialect differences between different branches of the same language are fascinating.
“Really tight thigh swivels that just come off the ball joints” -obvious mushroom pegs visible on screen. It doesn’t matter at all lmao just kinda funny. Dr.Lockdown I hope you aren’t overworking yourself too much
I honestly just choose to call him Scorch. It feels more fitting for a guy like him since if he is going to avoid his old name being a slur, I figure he would try something that would remind whoever was unlucky to cross him what he does: melt the suckers who cross him
The hunt for a good Witwicky continues I thought you were overly generous towards the Core version and while this one comes close those arms piss me off
I saw emgo use the pack in wheelie head on the dna wheelie, looked pretty good. Also I got the dna kit for legacy metroplex, I hope the drill bit is good 🤞
As I guy who has the upgrade kit - he’s alright? Works better in bot mode then whatever his alt mode is, partly because the alt mode doesn’t tab together properly
If I were ever to call him something other than his original name (get that “Slug” boolshit out of my house Hasbro. Way too similar to Sludge) I’d call him Slog. I think it’s a bit more distinct while still following the naming scheme of the others. I think the DNA’s head is so dogshit because you’re supposed to use the accessory Wheelie’s head. I’m pretty sure the balljoints are the same size.
DNA Design is better off doing upgrades and not their own figures in general. I got their bludgeon a few weeks ago and it absolutely sucks. Materials and tolerances feel like crap

Ironically I'd get a lot of flack for using the original G1 name than the Aussie "mega curse word"
Poor. . . "Slug".
Slag isn't a slur in any dialect I can think of. In the UK it is most certainly just a regular swear word, on par with bitch or cunt.

I like the name Slug, fits a violent, scrap-happy brawler like him.
Throwing heavy punches like a Slugger-style boxer.
not to mention I hear some Americans refer to shotgun ammunition as "slugs." I think it works even better in that regard.
@EL-uj1pl I'm African-American, I can definitely confirm we call our shotgun ammunition slugs.
I like calling slug “Slack” cuz I head canon him as a slacker and lazy lol
Sounds better than slug
The cores are so much better than whatever these are
I think "Slug" makes a lot more sense when you think about it like a shotgun round or a punch rather than the animal.
I can't disassociate the animal.
Plus sloog makes everyone angry, which is funny

I do kinda wish that 'Sloog' had gotten a better name... I had forgotten about that whole debacle
Yay the cores are better👍
"Sloog" crackes me up.
i really hope they rerelease the other 86 cores later on with soundwave
That Wheelie is hot ass, yeah, but i like the colors on the SG version. I hope Hasbro makes an SG SS Wheelie.

4:33 they did take inspiration from a 3p company. Zeta.

i love sloog, it is perfect
This weely works with grimlock instead of the Hasbro version.
Ok. Still shit tho
I would like to see how well DNA Drillbit is. I have the Metroplex so I do have a reason to get the upgrade kit, but I can't find it anywhere.

4:44 personally i like callin em spaniel
“Slug” sounds stupid but “Sloog” sounds so intelligent?
That wheelie figure looks like it came out in 2011.. what HAPPENED?? 😭
slag is an insult, not a slur.
If I remember correctly it’s supposed to be a derogatory term for women in the same vain as ‘whore’

Daniel? Nah, that's Uso from Victory Gundam

FIRST!
ah yes demon incarnate wheelie
These guy are interesting (not wheelie)
