Slash (AOE)

This article is about the Age of Extinction Dinobot. For the Kre-O Dinobot, see Slash (Kre-O).

Slash is a Dinobot from the Age of Extinction portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

Has no known weaknesses. Not even door handles.

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.

Toys

Age of Extinction

Guitar not included.

• Dinobot Slash (One-Step Changer, 2014)
  • Japanese ID number: LA08

Sharing his engineering with, but 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.

Gets along well with cosmonauts.

• 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.

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. Slash's toy design is based on these pieces of concept artwork.

• Unlike the other Movie Dinobots who have a corresponding Construct-Bots counterpart, Slash's head sculpt is entirely different to 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.
