Dinger is a member of the Jock Squad from BotBots.
Do you want to know the terrifying truth... or do you wanna see me sock a few dingers?!

Dinger, as befits his alternate mode of a baseball, gets hit, a lot, and flies through the air, a lot. While he does enjoy this, and it makes his fellow bots happy, all that constant impact has messed with his intelligence quite a bit, but as long as Dinger can fly through the air and make his friends happy, it doesn't seem to bother him much.
