Protoform: Science bot
Beast Mode: Slickribbon; A predatory, aquatic/amphibious centipede, capable of projecting it's jaws like dragonfly nymphs on Earth.

Personality: Slickback was at a disadvantage from the day he came online. Due to a freak deviation from normal protoformation, his vocal processors were irreparably retrograded, randering him incapable of normal speech. Instead, he makes noises that 1990's humans would recognize as "Dial-Up". Some Transformers can understand him, others cannot, and nobody really knows why.

Background: Megatron fanatics aren't especially forgiving of overt design flaws, so he compensated by being particularly gifted with computer systems. He says, "They speak to me." He's never clarified if this is figurative or literal, as holding back at least [i]some[/i] useful information is also to his advantage.
