Age of The Primes Deluxe Class Aerialbot Slingshot, 5.5-inch Converting Action Figure, Robot Toys for Ages 8+

Slingshot is a great character and figure. Major upgrade from the combiner wars version. In fact, all the Aerialbots from the Age of the Primes are a major upgrade from the Combiner Wars series. Slingshot always stood out, because of his head. Unlike his teammates, his head is orange and or is odd. The character, in the show, was outspoken and got himself into trouble many times. The toy itself is great, easy to turn from robot to vehicle and back. Honestly, I didn't have to look at the instructions to figure it out. The only complaint about the toy is the feet. If you notice, the feet are longer than the other toys in this group. Why didn't Hasbro address this when they designed it? Though, it helps the figure stand without issues, but sometimes it can hamper if you want to pose in a variety of ways. For the price, it's acceptable. If the tariffs hadn't existed, this figure probably would be anywhere from $14 to $19. I recommend buying it from Amazon rather than picking it up at the stores. Anyway, I hope to get all the toys in the series to combine into Superion.

Great Figure. Brings nostalgia of being a kid in the 80's

Hes great! I completed superion hes not bad as a combinder and slingshot was My first arielbot I purchased all the arielbots are 8 out of 10 there stunning together the arielbots are figure of the year!

Excellent shipping and great quality

The head is ugly but the posing and jet look great. You can’t even tell the jet transforms and the transformation is simple.

Excuse that horrible alliteration in the title… anyway, AOTP is bringing back the Aerialbots, which is awesome. Though, as tends to be the case with jet-formers, there is a fair bit of compromise. Slingshot’s main Achilles heel is his rather stubby, thin arms. Though a double-jointed elbow is always appreciated, it’s difficult to get a whole lot out of them, especially taking into account the fact he suffers from a severe case of “Triggerhappy Shoulders”, meaning that the outward movement of his arms places the shoulder joint on top of his torso. Not exactly ideal, and also not exactly necessary, seeing as he has no shoulder-topping parts that would block a traditional joint. Bot mode also isn’t helped by his enormous feet, though that does give him a very stable stance. But, I can hardly complain that much when his transformation is as enjoyable as it is. Though, once again, the Harrier mode leaves a little bit to be desired, as it is far more blocky than the real thing. But it’s animation accurate, so, while not my preference, I’m fine with it. Very excited for the rest of the set, even if Fireflight and Skydive are just retools…

Phenomenal, packaging, phenomenal toy, solid, build quality, fast delivery love it and now with this one, I got the final piece and with the combiners excellent

A must have for any collection

My partner loved this item. Great quality for the price

Muy buena figura articulaciones solidas

Jag är riktig glad att jag fick paketen innan Nyår så att jag kan ha dessa figurer till min samling. Paketet var i perfekt skick.

This guy is the arm for superion and is a nice figure

Good figure; a nice G1 look. Quality materials and articulation. Plane mode is only decent but gets the job done.
