Part of the second wave of Power of the Primes Legends Class figures, Battleslash transforms from robot to helicopter and back. He can also form the upper half of Battletrap. Sadly, he cannot hold his rotor blade as a sword as depicted in his package art.

Like most Legends Class figures from the Power of the Primes subline, Battleslash can carry a Prime Master (or Titan Master) while in vehicle mode. In his case, they attach at his tail, with barely enough clearance to avoid being struck by his helicopter blades.

Battleslash and the rest of his wave were released at retail in Singapore, and subsequently in the United Kingdom, the Philippines, and later the United States, before Hasbro even acknowledged their existence, let alone solicited them to online retailers.
