SLUGFEST thinks highly of himself, but relies on his larger allies to take care of him. He's thankful for the neural upgrades Starscream gave him and the other Dinocons, but he's still quite slow. In data cartridge mode, Slugfest has a vast data storage capacity. He can record and store up to 1.2 billion bits of data via visual, audio and electrical inputs. In stegosaurus mode, he can use the armored plates on his back like the teeth of a chainsaw to cut through virtually any substance. He carries two side-mounted solar-powered vibro-cannons. When fully charged (after at least an hour's exposure to sunlight), the vibro-cannons can shoot beams of harmonic sonic energy that can shatter a bridge.
