Slapdash battled the Cybertronian army on planet Ethos alongside Joyride and Hound. The Resurrection Gambit! When Prime realized that this was a diversion orchestrated by an unknown party, he ordered Slapdash and the others back on board the All-Terrain Turbo-Transport which brought them there.
Slapdash was one of several Autobots who, under Optimus Prime's command, responded to the Micromaster Air Strike Patrol's attack on MacDill Air Force Base. Prime Bomb! On another occasion, he proved almost useful in underwater combat when he accidentally landed on one Seacons while falling to the ocean floor and backhanded another into unconsciousness without even realizing what was happening. He, like, totally forgot to bring Lube along for a key defensive mission, leaving himself stuck in vehicle mode and of little use to his fellow Powermasters, except as a decoy for Decepticon target practice. Slapdash frequently demonstrated his sloppiness while active on Earth. After successfully driving off the Decepticon Powermasters with their new strength, the Autobots and their binary-bonded partners all chose to leave Nebulos and return to Earth, with Optimus Prime once more functional. Slapdash was binary-bonded to Lube, one of Hi-Q's top assistants. But after seeing the Autobots' determination to revive their leader Optimus Prime at any cost, the Nebulan scientist Hi-Q and his research staff decided to help save the Autobots and underwent the Powermaster process themselves. Slapdash and the others tried to fight back against the Decepticons, but were running dangerously low on fuel due to their long journey and proved no match for their Powermaster opponents. What's worse, a pair of crooked Nebulans had made an alliance with two Decepticon bandits and made them uniquely immune to the poison fuel, putting Nebulos at their mercy. The inhabitants were less than cooperative and had poisoned their fuel supplies since Fortress Maximus's crew had left in order to prevent further Transformers involvement on their world. They ran into difficulties on Nebulos, however. When the Decepticons did attack, Goldbug commandeered the Steelhaven and its small crew to return to Nebulos, in the hopes of rebuilding the legendary Optimus Prime as a true leader to oversee all Autobots. While two Earth Autobots named Blaster and Grimlock settled their differences in a crater on Earth's moon, Slapdash, Joyride and Getaway remained behind on the Steelhaven as a skeleton crew to guard the ship from attack. I think it likely that, in your struggle to overcome your perfectionist tendencies, you've given insufficient thought to how your behaviour may appear to others otherwise, the results of that 360-degree appraisal wouldn't have taken you by surprise.Note: Slapdash is one of several Autobots who was retroactively decided to have been on Fortress Maximus' mission of peace to Nebulos.Ībsent-minded Slapdash left his not-standing-in- character model stance at home. What's particularly irritating is the air of superiority that the 'perfectionist' often adopts as if all the other members of the team are no more than a bunch of slapdash chancers. It's a way of describing someone who is infuriatingly stubborn about the slightest detail of any undertaking, often at the expense of the morale of the other members of the team - and sometimes even of the successful and timely completion of the project itself. JEREMY SAYS: To call someone a perfectionist should be a compliment - but more often than not, it's used as a euphemism. It's clearly a problem for them - which came as a surprise to me as I thought I had this under control. It came to a head recently after a 360-degree appraisal by my team members. Q: It's been said of me in the past that I have perfectionist tendencies, and it's something I've been working on throughout my 20-year career, yet I still struggle with the issue.
