  • Release date: July 19 2014

"Dinobot Micron" Sling is a redeco of Classics Nightscream, transforming into a dragon.

This mold was also used to make Dragoyell and Universe Brimstone.

Notes

• With the other promotional Mini-Cons produced around this time being based on existing characters—particularly, Ivan, Paulie and Thunderlips are based on Dinobots Grimlock, Strafe and Slug respectively, with their names being the Rocky-based toyline codenames for those characters—it's likely Sling's color scheme was inspired by Slash. The name "Sling", however, is drawn from the Beast Wars Neo character, who has a... not-too-dissimilar color scheme.
