- Sandsting is a Decepticon Mini-Con from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Sandsting stings everything. He stings his enemies, he stings his masters, he would probably sting sand. The only thing sharper than his armor-piercing stinger is his tactical mind, making him an impossibly deadly adversary when he has a chance to plan an ambush.
Games
Robots in Disguise mobile game

He comes with a number of clear plastic accessories attached to a Decepticon-insignia-shaped sprue, which can be attached using tabs and slots. Some of these parts can combine with those of his wavemates Beastbox, Ratbat, and Velocirazor to form an energy shark.
- Unfortunately, due to the placement of his scan-badge under his tail, scanning him for the Robots in Disguise mobile game is rather difficult unless you peel off the sticker. Otherwise, you have to position juuuuuuuust right to get your tablet camera there. Alternatively, one can unclip the tail slightly so that there is better clearance.
