Via Kreemzek Reviews on Youtube we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers Studio Series 86 Leader Class Slag.
Slag is a completely new Leader class mold which brings us a fantastic new rendition of the classic G1 Dinobot featuring a cartoon-accurate red face. Slag (not Slug nor Slog) robot mode is pretty articulated featuring several ratchet points for stability. The rear triceratops legs are hidden inside the robot legs for more cartoon-accuracy. Robot mode shows some kibble in the back where the triceratops leg is visible but it doesn’t look so bad after all. Transformation is simple but fun and the Triceratops mode is compact with a weapon storage space in the tail. Slag includes a Daniel with exo-suit mini-figure which is pretty similar to the Wheelie figure included with Grimlock since it’s designed to be sat in robot or dino mode. For those wondering about scale, we can also share for you comparison pics next to other War For Cybertron and Studio Series 86 figures.

Coming late to this Slag and had intended to get the Nonnef upgrade (black head, red sword and horns) but they don't ship to the UK! That's an absolute travesty and i'll be writing to my local council.
Does anyone know another way I could get hold of it please? It's going to really bother me now!
Edit: Now sorted. Looking forward to getting him!

Slag looks awesome! I had the G2 version of Grim and Slag when I was young and loved them so I can't wait to have this pair together again.

Honestly the only time I ever got a figure from a retail store and then canceled my order was Kingdom Rattrap and I only found him while browsing walmart with a mostly empty transformers toys aisle. Other wise I'd just wait for my online orders to fill
Fenrys
You asked for an official release date, it doesn't get any more official than straight from the source. If other stores get him prior that's irrelevant because they will be selling him before his official release date
Foster
Perhaps. But that's not consistent and it's definitely not official.
Feel free to hunt around while waiting for online orders to fill, if you have the time and want to spend the gas money. Lots of collectors do that, then cancel their online orders if and when they find it on a shelf.

Doesn’t Pulse receive/ship items a lot latter than brick and mortar retail stores?

October 1st is as close to an official answer as you'll get
Transformers Studio Series 86-07 Leader The Transformers: The Movie Di – Hasbro Pulse

So is there an official date release? The most I found was sometime between late May to October.

Red face, cartoon styling, 50 bucks. This is a good enough Slag for me.

Anyone still need 'ol Grim, he's back in stock with free shipping.

The only bummer I see so far are the hollow dino legs in the rear. Can't wait to pick this guy up though. Looks great.

Looks great

I don't so much care how it functions so long as it's in the $6 realm and is little titanmaster guys with little mechs to be put into.
