GoBots
In 1985 Pepsi Cola had a promotion where you could get a "Convert-Able" toy by sending in $1, three proofs of purchase from a Pepsi product and 50 cents shipping. One of the toys you could get was "Convert-A-Racer", who was a recolor of Slicks.[1]
Slicks was one of the Renegade followers of Cy-Kill who turns into a race car.[2]
Abilities
Like most GoBots, Slicks has numerous abilities because of his robotic body. He does not age, can survive in space and is super-humanly strong and tough. He can fly in robot mode and project energy blasts from his hands. His body heals quickly when supplied with energy. He can turn into a race car.
Comics
Slicks appeared in the Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric episode 9 story "Cy-Kill For President".[3]
Slicks was featured in the 2016 Ask Vector Prime story Echoes and Fragments, set during the events of The Transformers: The Movie. The manipulations of the evil Gong and Sideways resulted in various GoBots swapping places with characters during the events of that film. Slicks participates on the attack on Autobot City, is damaged, and is later reformatted by Unicron into Fracture's Armada.[4]
