Sling (BW)

Sling is a Predacon from the Beast Wars Neo portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

He's basically a green guy wearing an orange jumpsuit.

Sling is incredibly dense. He’s only good for following orders, but tends to screw that up as well. The other Predacons sigh in his presence and try their best to tolerate him (except for Saberback, who insults him at every available moment). He’s a gung-ho warrior but is only really evil because the other Predacons tell him he is. Sling speaks in a high-pitched cackle, which often times irritates his fellow soldiers. He’s not the most popular Predacon.

Sling transforms into an organic dimetrodon. His back-sail can open up to form a spring-loaded bear-trap-like "flower" trap. This forms his "trap" third mode. This assembly becomes a robot-mode shield.

This mold was later used to make the Walmart-exclusive Dinobot Sludge.
