Neutron rifle

See? Mine's clearly the best machine gun in the whole franchise.

Slingshot is a seething, obnoxious mass of insecurities. When he's not disguising his frustrations from his Aerialbot teammates, he's working them out by pumping Decepticons full of neutron packets at a rate of 200 rounds per second, courtesy of his neutron rifle.
