Sludge, the lumbering Dinobot tank, trudges through the Transformers Generation 1 (G1) series and “Transformers: The Movie.” With his Brontosaurus transformation, Sludge G1 figure adds raw power to the team. This page covers his bio, appearances, and collectibles.
Bio: The Slow but Steady Titan
Sludge is a Dinobot heavy hitter in the Transformers G1 series, transforming into a gray and red Brontosaurus. Armed with crushing strength and a missile launcher, he’s a dim-witted but kind-hearted giant, loyal to Grimlock. His swamp-loving nature reflects his simplicity. In “Transformers: The Movie,” Sludge survives, stomping into Season 3. For “Sludge G1 bio” fans, he’s the gentle behemoth of the Dinobots.
Appearances: Stomping Strong
Sludge lumbers into Seasons 1-3 of the Transformers G1 series, debuting in “S.O.S. Dinobots” (Season 1, Episode 7). His might shines in “Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1″ (Season 2, Episode 28), smashing foes. Watch his heavy steps below (credit: Transformers Dino Vault):

In “Transformers: The Movie,” Sludge battles Unicron’s forces, surviving with the Dinobots. He appears in Season 3, like “Money Is Everything.” Here’s a screenshot from his movie stand (fair use, sourced from the G1 movie):
For “Sludge G1 appearances,” his run is a slow, steady force.
Collection Info: Sludge Figures to Crush
Sludge G1 figures are massive classics. The 1985 G1 Sludge, with its Brontosaurus mode, is a hefty prize—though its neck sags over time. The 2018 “Power of the Primes” Sludge offers a robust update. My collection includes:
- 1985 G1 Sludge: Vintage, slightly droopy.
- Power of the Primes Sludge: Big and bold.

For “Sludge G1 figure” collectors, these capture his towering presence.
Numerous members have had the opportunity to flip their apes for a profit. And this is potentially life-changing money we’re talking about. So those who hold are in it for the long-haul – with good reason. Apes, similar to Punks, have become a status symbol. With the added utility of being able to identify your fellow apes on social media, being an ape owner shows that you’re part of a 5,000+ member club. And aside from those within the crypto and NFT community, we’ve witnessed quite a few celebrities, including superstar Shawn Yue, Steph Curry, LaMelo Ball and more enter into the non-fungible space through the purchase of an ape.
I think it made me think about it more and really consider why I was choosing to add this to my NFT portfolio
It poses an interesting question for me on the avatar category – will people be willing to buy in, or does eating something change your “sniff” test on the believe-ability of the claims?
With the floor continuing to rise and interest reaching beyond the non-fungible community, we may see apes follow along the same path as Punks – that is, as a legacy project that helps define the NFT space.
It’s important to make the distinction between the two though, as one mapped out the rules (Punks) and one changed the game entirely (BAYC).
There’s also a little pouch to store the rollerballs, and a card with different inspirations as to how to blend them on your skin – but it’s foolproof. You can’t make a mess if you mix them all up.
Badger Beard Balm is perfect for the bearded gents in your life (is this everyone? beards are so trending). As Punks continued to moon throughout the first half of the year, and Punk derivative projects started to peter out, BAYC filled a demand for originality and substance within the collectible and art sections of the NFT market.
If you’re looking to get into the club, there is not time to waste!
Further, Punks are surely the gold standard for NFT projects, but what they lack in community, they make up for through ETH value far too high for most collectors to obtain even at floor prices. BAYC undoubtedly set a precedent for community based projects – and we’ve seen countless use its success as a template to follow in its footsteps.
