Looks like a truck grill to me.
Isn't that just an Armada Overload toy they stuck on there?
I don't see why it can't, as it looks like his shin guns could pop out.
It's way too flat and basic, compared to both the originals and the Takara proto, all of which had molded ridges that were far more pronounced, more defined, and more visually-striking:
The first word is used in America, I think:

The video link uses this term, but also the f-bomb, so viewer discretion is advised as it's NSFW:

The other is British, and while possibly not as overtly offensive/obvious as Sl*g, still isn't something you would call your mother either. It's more akin to "fishwife" or "harridan":
And now folks, we now know what NOT to use if we are in charge of the "New Dinobot Character Naming Division" in the future.

It looks like that’s all they did, which is why I wanna see more pictures of it. Be cool if they actually used Armada Overload and Jetfire as part of the design / combining process to go with him.
I think most of us would prefer new versions, especially if Overload. But I could see Hasbro use the old toys to avoid making new ones.
Post is updated now with base mode pics.
The thing that frustrates me the most is when they overthink the assignment. It's like they get superstitious. Sometimes they stare at the obvious solution, and it's like they think it's too obvious. It can't be that obvious. They have to be missing something. So they invent the thing they're missing. They invent a problem for themselves to solve, and sometimes they don't solve it all that well, when it never needed to be a problem in the first place.
This is not one of those times. They focused everything on the challenging parts of the design and didn't overthink the rest of it. This is the most Armada looking Armada update ever.

Everything about this toy is a mood.
lol
This toy is mood.
This looks awesome thou I guess the only way to attach Overload is by using the Minicon and resting on its shoulders, so hopefully they'll do a updated verison of him and Armada Jetfire
I understand why both are changed, but I don't agree with "no different".
One of those words is still derogatory (and considered offensive by some) even in the meaning Hasbro intended, just far less so than the British-specific meaning.
Incidentally, "slag" (unrelated to the English word) actually means "hit" or "punch" in the Scandinavian languages, from the same etymology as the English "slug" meaning the same thing.
Which makes me even more certain that the intended meaning of the name change to "Slug" is that, not the "bullet" meaning some insist on.
And then Budiansky's profile would have given him an exaggerated speech impediment.
And then a reimagining later would have him speak in an exaggerated Rocky Balboa impression.And then Budiansky's profile would have given him an exaggerated speech impediment.
