Title:
Sling
Description:
Sling (Basic, January 1999)
ID number: D-31
Part of the first wave of Beast Wars Neo products in the Japanese Beast Wars toyline, Sling is a Basic-sized figure that transforms into an organic Dimetrodon, with an opening/closing mouth. In robot mode, his back-sail (now located on his left forearm) can open to form his "Sling Shield”, while his tail ends up on his right forearm to form his "Tail Bunker”; a non-firing gun that also doubles as a whip (in-universe, of course). His Predacon spark crystal is located on his robot mode abdomen, underneath his beast mode head.
Sling also features a third "Trap Mode”, where his back-sail can open up while he is in his beast mode to form a foreign-world flower, equipped with a spring-loaded pressure-fire trigger/flower stem in the middle—made to be activated when placing another figure’s foot on it like a bear-trap. The instructions also suggest rotating all of his beast mode legs upside down and splaying them wide open; leaving him on his belly, while also spreading his robot mode feet out to become two smaller "flowers”...riiight... (his cartoon character model sheet suggests these are meant to be flowers, so let’s just go with it).
This mold was later used to make the Walmart-exclusive Dinobots Sludge.
