Slug is one of the most enduring and strongest Autobots whose rebelious personality can be compared to his commander Grimlock, although he is the Dinobots taction, he is probably the only one who could rivals Arcee's sharpshooting skills, and while he beat opponets into submission he preferes to melt them into slag, his favorite weapon is the Path Blaster with random Destronium slug rounds that explode on impact.
Grimlock looked over the ship that would take him and the Dinobots to the planet named Earth, and from what Alpha Trion said, Earth was very much like Equestria in many ways.
Ultra Magnus volunteered to go first for he knew that he was needed there, but Grimlock had to stay a little longer. Alpha Trion had to show him something.
The Dinobot leader waited for the old bot to tell him what his orders were.

"Pave the way for Megatron's return."
The words echoed in Shockwave's mind as he gave Onsluaght command of the Decepticon forces to return to Equestria and eradicate all the remaining ponies so that when Megatron was done with Earth, he set his sights on other worlds.
It had been three Earth years since he had last spoken to his master. After the space bridge incident with the Autobot Cliffjumper and Arcee, Shockwave was left on Cybertron with no one else, it was by sheer chance that Decepticon forces returned to Cybertron in search of weaponry. Shockwave assumed command of these soldiers who acknowledge Shockwave as temporary leader, and after rebuilding his space bridge, Shockwave planned to take his Decepticon forces to Earth, but that was before he remembered that the Dinobots where still on the planet he sent them to, the one with rich energon reserves.
After a change in plans, Shockwave took his Decepticons to the planet Arion in hopes of regaining control of the Dinobots. But look where he was now, still no Dinobots to command.
Seeing a change in plans, Shockwave gathering the surviving Decepticons and told them to go to Equestria and hunt down the remaining ponies that would oppose them and pave the way for Megatron, he sent Abominus with the small Decepticon army to help with the slaughter, while the sacrifice of his Predacon combinderwas somewhat at a loss, Shockwave knew his creations would have better use hunting equines.
Shockwave had watched the remaining Decepticons disappear through the space bridge portal, and that's when it happened.
If turns out that the bridge was on its last legs and exploded as soon as Shockwave shut it down, he did not have the resources to build another yet, and the Autobots space bridge was heavily guarded.
Once again Shockwave was alone and with no one but his experiments, and with no way of reaching Megatron Shockwave resumed his work, waiting for the day when someone would show up.
"Logically, Megatron has to return to Cybertron sometime?" Shockwave grumbled to himself.
Suddenly Shockwave's instruments detected something. He walked over to them. A powerful surge of energy was coming from the edge of the sea of rust, the location of which it was emanating from would take a few days time via tank mode.
But It would not hurt to take a look, would it?
Wasting no time, Shockwave transformed and rolled out.

Ultra Magnus packed his ship with weapons for reason Alpha Trion would not explain, Trion told him that he was "needed first, and that other Autobots would join him soon," Magnus did not question the orders of a Prime, but did as he was told.
The Wreacker leader was about to get into his ship, but before he did he turned to the other Autobots who were about to watch him leave.
"Autobots, I know that you are all more then capable than taking care of Cybertron until I return, but know this when Alpha Trion gives the word then and only then will the selective few of you join with me and Optimus Prime on Earth"
"Yes Sir!"
Ultra Magnus then faced the triple changer Springer and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Springer, I'm leaving you in charge of the Wreckers until I return."
"But Magnus, I'm just a soldier, I don't think I'm worthy," Springer said.
"And neither was I, but I believe you will do a fine job."
"Yes sir."
And with that Ultra Magnus went into his ship which then powered up.
Alpha Trion the opened the space bridge to send the Wreacker commander to Earth.
Ultra Magnus flew his ship into the scaled down space bridge portal, he had witness Alpha Trion use this portal to send an Autobot named Chaindrive to assist Optimus, so he was confident that it would send him where he was needed.
Alpha Trion watched as the space bridge activated and in a flash Ultra Magnus was gone, headed for earth.
"Grimlock" Alpha Trion said
The Dinobot turned to face him.
"Follow me."
And with that the old bot led Grimlock and his friends into a room in the Hall of Records which they were joined by their pony companions.
"Where are we?" Slug asked.
"What you are all about to see is a very important device that has kept the entire history of Cybertron in its mind like body, for the Autobots you will recognize this, for you ponies, you are about to see something you may see once in a lifetime."
The old bot pressed his hand against a wall and it opened like a door.
"Now, follow me."
The ponies and bots followed him down a stairway to a bottom and upon reaching said floor another door opened to Alpha Trion's presence.
The room inside was a bottomless hole and in the middle rising from its non-visible bottom was a chamber that must contain something important.
"Where are we?" Twilight asked
"You are all in a room that is sacred to our kind, what you are about to see will fill you with awe"
Alpha Trion stepped forward, a panel came up from the ground and when the old bot put his hand on it and reacted, then their was a strange humming noise.
The linings on the floor above the chamber began to glow and the floor opened.
What happened next, made the ponies jaws drop.
From within came out a glowing sphere expect the sphere had three rings that spun around it in perfect sympathy, the ponies were dumbfounded by what they saw.
Meet Vector Sigma, the repository of the wisdom of the Primes.
Celestia for the first time in a while was amazed, this thing was a like an eternal library in the form a glowing sphere, never in her life could she imagine that something like this could exist.
"Grimlock step forward."
The Dinobot did as he was told and when he got close enough his chest opened to revel the Allspark Matrix.
Then the rings on Vector Sigma came to a stop and a beam of light shot from the sphere and into the Matrix.
"Whats going on?" Grimlock asked
"While you do posses the power of the Allspark and the Elements your Matrix needs to be charged with the power of Vector Sigma to be used in certain situations that may be needed."
Understanding what was happening, Grimlock let Vector Sigma fill his Matrix with Wisdom.
When all was said and done, the super computer retreated into the depths.
After coming back to the surface the Dinobots and ponies where ready to go to Earth.
The Autobots managed to commission a ship in which to take the Dinobots and the ponies to Earth.
The Changelings and Chrsyalis decided to remain on Cybertron, the friendship that had formed between the minicons and the bugs would be enough food for them to feed of on, the ponies had to go to Earth due to the fact that that Cybertron did not grow organic food.
Twilight and her friends had been told that Earth was very similar in terms of appearance, geography, plant life, and wildlife.
But to the ponies it was the start of a brand new adventure with friends larger then life.
