| This article is about the Beast Wars Neo Predacon. For the Age of Extinction Mini-Con, see Sling (AOE). |
- Sling is a Predacon from the Beast Wars Neo portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Nobody likes Sling (スリング Suringu). Nobody. Sling is what you would call a dork or a geek or a spaz or a loser. Take your pick; he's all that and more. His high-pitched, cackling voice is often cited as a reason so many Predacons find him painfully obnoxious to be around, but the well runs deeper than that. Sling can't do anything right and he's utilized in the most limited capacity by his commanding officers. The other Predacons take any opportunity they can get to mock and deride the scrawny dimetrodon, especially Saberback (who bullies him relentlessly) and DNAVI (who tries repeatedly to abandon him on alien planets).
Sling takes all this abuse like a whiney middle schooler. "Come on, guys!" "Stop it!" "That isn't funny!" "I'm telling Guiledart!" There's a chance Sling may snap someday, but considering his ultimate special attack involves disguising himself as a flower in an attempt to ambush anybody who comes along to sniff him... Yeah, nobody's very concerned about that.
