| The name or term "Slash" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Slash (disambiguation). |
- Slash is a Dinobot from the Age of Extinction portion of the live-action film series continuity family.
Slash is surprisingly sneaky for a Dinobot. Skilled in the arts of stealth and tracking, he can cut down his target without getting detected or hunt down his next victim with ease. Equipped with cyber scythes in robot mode and claws as a Velociraptor, Slash can fight his way out of a bad situation if things go south.[1]
Fiction
How to Ride a Dinobot! comic
Slash and the other Dinobots were happily frolicking in a Chinese forest when five Autobots arrived. One of them, Hound, attempted to ride Slash, but the Dinobot immediately sent him flying. Bumblebee then tried to win the Dinobots' favor with a snack of nuts and bolts, which Slash and his allies quickly wolfed down. When Grimlock caught the scent of Decepticons, Slash allowed Hound to ride him into battle to a war-torn city. How to Ride a Dinobot!
Toys
Age of Extinction
- Dinobot Slash (One-Step Changer, 2014)
- Japanese ID number: LA08
- Sharing his engineering with, but is not a retool of, One-Step Changer Grimlock, Slash transforms from robot to mechanical Velociraptor in a single step. This is achieved using autotransformation, triggered by folding his robot arms/dinosaur legs.
- The Japanese release of Slash features extensive silver paint, rendering his Velociraptor mode mostly silver, and has red dino eyes.
- Dinobot Slash (Deluxe, 2014)
- Accessories: Two cyber scythes
- Japanese ID number: AD25
- Slash transforms from a robot to a mechanical Velociraptor. The 'feathers' on his dinosaur arms remove in robot mode to become his cyber scythe weapons, which Slash can hold via 5mm post.
Construct-Bots
- Dinobot Slash (Dinobot, 2014)
- Slash is part of the second wave of Dinobots and transforms from a blue Velociraptor into a robot. In dinosaur mode, Slash is the right size to be ridden by the smaller 'Dinobot Rider' toys in this line. Like all Construct-Bots Dinobots, Slash features a gear-driven gimmick. Spinning the gear on Slash's back causes his dino-mode claws to slash up and down in a back-scratching manner.
- His nominal Dinobot Rider counterpart is Hound.
- Unlike the other Movie Dinobots who have a corresponding Construct-Bots counterpart, Slash's head sculpt is entirely different from his Age of Extinction Generations release. Interestingly, the Construct-Bots version has a head that is very reminiscent of fellow raptor-bot Beast Wars Dinobot.
Kre-O
- See: Slash (Kre-O)
Notes
- Velociraptor Dinobots were at one stage planned to appear in the Age of Extinction film, with concept art depicting a large number of them charging into Hong Kong alongside the Spinosaurus Dinobot.[2] Slash's toy design is based on these pieces of concept artwork.
- Some tie-in materials released seem to indicate that had he appeared, Slash would have paired up with the Autobot Hound, the only Autobot in the finished movie who didn't have his own Dinobot partner.
