Behind the Scenes
In my stories, Slide would be the one character I would ride in when I just wanted to 'blend in' into the scenario. I don't know why but I could picture myself just riding along, enjoying a nice Sunday drive in him. I always liked the car design especially with Prowl, which was the second Transformer I ever owned.
