| This article is about the weapon. For the Aerialbot from Generation 1, see Slingshot (G1). |
Odd as it might seem among the vast collection of hi-tech weaponry Transformers possess, slingshots are an acceptable pick among both Autobots and Decepticons. Moreso, a slingshot is Wheelie's signature weapon, which he uses to hurl fire stones at his opponents. Those hurt, man!
Fiction
The Transformers cartoon
Starscream's arsenal included a slingshot. During the battle at Sherman Dam, he used it to fire some sort of explosive crystal he claimed he had been saving for the Autobots at... something. If he had been aiming for any of the Autobots, he missed. More than Meets the Eye, Part 2
By hitting Grimlock in the nose with a fire stone from his trusty slingshot, Wheelie got the Dinobots' attention. After explaining the Dinobots that their comrades had been captured by the Quintessons, he led them to their location and proved the might of a good slingshot again against the Sharkticons. The Transformers: The Movie
Universe
Using his trusty slingshot, Wheelie blew off many a Nightbird's face, until he ran out of ammo. Departure In an alternative timeline, Trailbreaker ordered a number of Minibots to subdue Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. Wheelie shot Sunstreaker in the chest with his slingshot. Escape
