Who is Sludge?

Major Story Arcs Marvel Comics Continuity Dreamwave Comics Continuity IDW Comics Continuity Personality Sludge is the odd bot out of the Dinobots. Despite his various appearances in continuities, Sludge is actually described as being a gentle giant when not in battle. Though apparently not as friendly as his fellow Dinobot Swoop, Sludge is a lot nicer than the other three Dinobots; Grimlock, Slag, and Snarl. One example of this was in the UK Generation 1 comics when Sludge fell in love with a human named Joy Meadows. While Sludge may be the biggest Dinobot and the second most powerful, he is also considered to be the dumbest of the five. Grimlock himself has even called Sludge dumb. However, his intelligence varies upon continuity. In some versions, he is flat out stupid while in others he is simply simple minded or just less intelligent than the other Dinobots.
