Dinobot power is coming into the new Power Of The Primes series! Voice actor Frank Todaro has confirmed he will be the voice of Dinobot Sludge in Machinima’s third installment of their Prime Wars Trilogy.
The announcement was made via Frank Todaro’s Facebook and Instagram account by sharing part of an image featuring good-old Sludge. The picture also shows part of Power Of The Primes logo, Overlord’s face and part of another Dinobot, so you can take your guess about it. Here’s what Frank commented about his new role:
“Just look at that punim!!
I have the honor of providing voice for the stompinnest-trompinnest most spectacular sauropod this side of Cybertron, Dinobot SLUDGE in the next exciting chapter of the Prime Wars Trilogy! First episode debuts 5/1 (coincidentally the same day I did about 40 years ago) check it out!!”
Frank Todaro has already voiced other characters from Prime Wars Trilogy like Starscream, Trypticon and Longhaul. We are sure fans will be expecting his performance as Sludge on the series. Power Of The Primes will premiere this May, 1st.

I always liked Sludge. But that was more just because I like brontosaurs than anything Sludge himself did.

Or something like the idw designs, which are very much dinosaurs with classic engineering.

Yuuuup. I find it weird. Not like I'm gonna flip a table but it's really odd to me. I mean, part of this that I'm incredibly tired of the "G1 with joints" approach in the last year or so (Predacons were my last straw. When Alpha Trion does a lion mode better than Razorclaw, I fear the world) but it's also the fact the 80s dinobot designs on shelves today is so strange looking, especially since across the isle atm you've got Jurassic World stuff. When people go "I don't want the dinobots updated" that just goes over my head. The nostalgia of it just…whoosh. They don't look right at all to me. I mean keep the robot modes and transformations but…Stegosaurus does NOT look like that. I can't get into it. Especially since you could do something more in line with the FOC dinobots, which are at least a midway between dinosaurs and the original designs.

Wait sorry I’m confused. You don’t get why people complain about idw dinobots yet love g1 and potp cause they look like eighties dinosaurs?
GWolfv2
Head design is better than POTP at least.
TBF the designs have never been a major issue for this show…how those designs move is.
Also side note. Always find it super weird d when people complain about the IDW dinobits but praise G1 and POTP. It’s like… the complaint would s that the dinobots…look like dinosaurs not…the eighties. POTP dinos were so weird to see on a 2018 shelf. Weird.

I always thought he was second in command, slag is a hot head. Swoop is a chill and precise dude. I don’t like his head, and the fact that he’s super weedy.
Agamus
Swoop's design in particular I'm rather ambivalent about. There's not much resemblance but on the other hand he does look like can actually fly. What I really hate, however, is that he wasn't the second in command/de facto leader instead of Slug. I mean he still literally calls their shots, and he was always the most developed character of the group, going way back to his "Icarus Theory" and "What's in a Name?" days.
Digger
Maybe except for swoop.

Yeah I mean if it’s official then thats what Sludge officially looks like in that universe, no matter how ugly or different from other iterations of the character it might be.
Fallout
but sludge does look like that. you literally posted proof that he looks like that.
Maverick Hunter Christian
I'll defend that every day of the week. Always loved the IDW Dinobot designs.
Digger
Remember that time in the movie where he went like ? What a fascinating character!
Porkulus
You know, a Jewish version of Sludge would certainly be more interesting than anything the character has gotten so far.
Bass X0
You're defending this?
Sludge doesn't look like this.

Im really surpised there is not more promotion for this thing. I mean if clicks and views are whats important you think you would see more trailers and what not.
