| The name or term "Quickslinger" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Quickslinger (disambiguation). |
- Quickslinger is an Autobot from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Quickslinger is a real "girl-next-door" type who doesn't mind getting dirty but "cleans up well." She knows her male peers have a fancy for her, and she uses this to her advantage.
She hates the way girls are stereotyped so much that she forces herself to act as non-girly as possible. You could probably say she's a self-hating girl, but without the self-awareness that term usually implies. She secretly wishes she could act girly, but she apparently can't be an empowered female if she actually acts like a female. That's some self-defeating logic, there. Somebody never made it through gender studies.
