Title:
Aerialbot Slingshot
Description:
• Slingshot (Aerialbot, 1986, 1991)
• Team ID number: A4
• Japanese ID number: C-53
• Accessories: neutron rifle
The Transformers Slingshot transforms into a white Sea Harrier jumpjet. While the other three Aerialbot limbs follow a standard design with similar proportions and parts distribution, Slingshot is unusual in that he is much, much thinner than the other jets (partly due to his vehicle mode), with stick-like arms and his front landing gear is mounted on his chest, as the Harrier nose cone on the toy is far too short to accommodate fold-down landing gear.
As a Scramble City-style combiner, Slingshot can be connected to any free arm or leg slot on Silverbolt to form Superion, and indeed can also combine with any other Scramble City combiner. However, his nominal placement is as the left arm of Superion.
Slingshot, along with his teammates, were released in the 1990 European/Australian Classics reissue series of Generation 1 toys.
In Japan, the Aerialbots were also later all made available again as mail-away items during Return of Convoy. The smaller toys cost 1000 yen (120 more than their original retail price!) and 2 robot points.
