Revision as of 22:24, 28 August 2016

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 Kre-O continuity family.

Quickslinger has a bit of a complex about his height, probably caused by the other Autobots making short jokes at his expense. He might be small, but as he keeps pointing out to the others, Kreons are all the same size. Quickslinger also feels he makes up for his diminutive stature by turning into a pint-sized plane so he can fly high above everyone else, and by being quick on the draw with his bitty Deconstructo Blaster.


Toys

Kre-O

  • Quickslinger (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2012)
    • Collection: 1
    • Bag number: 22851 44
    • Accessories: Logo brick, built-up pistol
Part of the first normal wave of Micro-Changer Kreons, Quickslinger is a blindpacked-bagged mini-figure, though a stamped ID number can be found on the back of the bag, top-right corner. He comes with extra parts so he can be converted into a tiny, tiny plane, and his pistol is built-up with extra parts in order to make it look bigger. He also comes with a 2x4 block with the Kre-O logo on the side, which he can use as a stand so he can look taller.
He uses Ratchet's helmet and the Starscream wing-pack.


  • Quickslinger (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
    • Accessories: Logo plate , built-up pistol
    • Collection: 1
In 2016, Collection 1 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released Kre-O sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Quickslinger's torso and face tampographs have also been reworked to be slightly more detailed, and the formerly-bare legs now have extra detail tampographing on them. All of his light gray paint has been replaced with shiny silver.
He also uses the revised Ratchet helmet, which has had the crest trimmed so as not to cover his eyes.
Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

Notes

  • Quickslinger is based, in appearance at least, on Generation 1 Slingshot, only obviously much, much smaller.
  • Quickslinger's pre-production photography shows him with a black crest on his helmet, aka "exactly like Ratchet's helmet". This version also sports a slightly different chest decoration.
