Slug was one of the prototype names for W.O.R.M.S.

As with the rest of the crew, I wanted a figure that would fit in with something from 1987. Hasbro has done repaints in the past, and some molds have even been repurposed from their original designs. This mold, Sneak Peek, was released the same year as W.O.R.M.S.: 1987.

To be honest, I never liked this mold. I tried to find a different figure for the gunner, but something about the padding kept pulling me back. After seeing the Brazilian repaint, Biosfera, I changed my mind. Seeing the sleeves painted instead of flesh really worked. I painted the cuffs down like gloves, which was inspired by the G.I. Joe Club's Interrogator. I realize that this mold was great; it suffered from a terrible head.
