Yeah, I don't get it. Who is "her"? And I also read "slut".
In the very second panel he mentions that she's a native. Since the story is set on planet Klo it means she looked like a small pink goblin - the planet appeared in the old marvel comics once. [link] 
And speaking of the comics... Sludge befriended reporter Joy Meadows in the UK G1 comics back in the day and nearly got her killed by the 'cons when she planned to go public with her proof that not all the giant robots were evil. This story no doubt homages that relationship.
The name on the headstone is Sluj - it could be her natural spelling or an indication of Sludge's stupidity that he can't even spell such a simple word as "sludge" correctly

Ok. Thanks for the info.
the last letter is a backwards L, not a T, so it says more like "Slul"
It's a J - it could be her natural spelling or an indication of Sludge's stupidity that he can't even spell such a simple word as "sludge" correctly
I like to think of it as a simple translation issue.
Why? He befriends a person on a planet where he was, the same way that Bee befriended Spike.
She died, because she befriends giant machines at war, and was crushed.
It's a tragedy.

I was thinking that the "her" was supposed to be major TF character.
Maybe in some continuity, she was "a" character, but I don't think a major one.
No one canonical, just a native that Sludge befriended during a mission to an alien world (which should be familiar to Marvel comics readers...)
I ought to read the Marvel TF stuff, I keep reading about neat stories therein!
I'm still a neophyte with their material too, since it's tricky to get ahold of. But it's worth the effort!
I'd go for the trades, but I hear they're missing many issues for expired copyright etc. reasons. :/
