Dear Vector Prime, are there any notable sloth Transformers out there?
Dear Sleepy Savant,
In general, no, as most bots with sloth alt-modes tend to fade into the background. On Cybertron, they often transformed into signal amplifiers or internet routers, partnering with larger bots who transformed into radio-transmitting towers and broadcast antennae. Thus, on Earth, the tree-bound, low-energy sloth was a compatible beast form.
I can speak of one slothformer, Slo-Mo, who was sent to ancient Earth via transwarp drive by Maximal Command to provide long-term surveillance after Optimus Primal's Beast Expedition to visit the crashed Ark ended 4 million years ago. After her tour of duty ended, she relocated to planet Antilla where she discovered the remains of an Autobot colony that had fallen to cosmic rust. She received a transwarp order from Maximal Command to intervene with history and signal-boost the warning beacon, hoping to avoid a cosmic rust plague in the Maximals' own timeline. She did so for 500,000 years until Perceptor created corrostop in 1985.
However, since Megatron was healed by corrostop, he didn't die as the Maximals expected in 1986, but instead lived until 2005 before becoming Galvatron. This caused a major shift in their timeline as the Predacons became much more influential. As a result, all transwarp interventions were strictly forbidden. Slo-Mo herself rested on Antilla for the rest of her days. She remembered that there had once been a Beast Expedition… but for some reason, the name in her memory banks had changed to "Beast Wars"…
