Rper:Sunstar
Character type: Permanent
Name:Slingshot
Nicknames:Sling or Slingers
Gender Identity:Mech
Approx age:Older than Man
Alliance:Autobot
Function/Job:Aerialbot / Ground Troop Support
Height: 35 feet 8 inches tall
Approx mass:Empty weight: 29,300 lb (13,300 kg)
Loaded weight: 44,400 lb (20,100 kg)
Max takeoff weight: 70,000 lb (31,800 kg)
Cybertronian type: Normal Cybertronian Flyer
Personality: He is an incessant braggart, even when he's done absolutely nothing to brag about. He likes to take credit for the exploits of others, a thoroughly annoying habit that never fails to elicit animosity from his fellow Aerialbots.
Most of the other Autobots are also aware of Slingshot's rotten personality and would prefer he removed himself from their struggle against the Decepticons. But, much to the surprise of almost everyone, Autobot leader Optimus Prime turns a blind optical sensor to Slingshot's faults, and instead is very supportive of him.
Optimus Prime realizes, and he may be the only one who does, that Slingshot acts this way to disguise his own lack of confidence; he's the slowest and has the least range of all the Aerialbots and feels inferior as a result.
Despite everything else, Slingshot is a loyal and hardworking soldier, qualities that Optimus Prime believes merit his understanding and trust.
Appearance: Bearing the desert camouflage pattern of the F-35B fighter jet he was able to transform into. The tail of the jet sat at his lower back, the wings reaching out from the backs of his shoulders. The cockpit was sat in the middle of his chassis like most flyer's.
Alt mode: Alt. Mode is an F-35B Lightning II: 14.65 tons or with the stats broke down:Empty weight: 29,300 lb (13,300 kg)Loaded weight: 44,400 lb (20,100 kg)Max takeoff weight: 70,000 lb (31,800 kg)
Holoform: Dale Vargason - Tall at 6'5", dark hair cut into a short, messy choppy look, Blue eyes, tanned skin. Likes to wear either Denim pants and Camoflauged T-Shirts when out and about or a Flight-suit when in his Alt. Mode.
Weapons:He is also the best sharpshooter of the Aerialbots; his twin mortar cannons can hit a highway stop sign six miles away.
In robot mode, he uses with extreme accuracy a neutron rifle, which shoots packets of neutrons at two hundred rounds per second. A short barrage can level a city block.
Abilities: He is the best sharpshooter of the Aerialbots.
Strengths: Loyal and hardworking, is smart too (just doesn't show it very often.)
Weaknesses: He likes to try and take the credit for the exploits of others - thus annoying those he works with including his own gestalt.
Family: He combines with his fellow Aerialbots: Skydive, Air Raid, Fireflight and Silverbolt to form the giant robot combiner, known as Superion. Surrogate Carrier/Father: Wheeljack. These are his Family.
History: His Gestalts dislike for him often results in their leaving him behind in dangerous situations to fend for himself.
Slingshot, along with his brother Aerialbots, were created and brought online to better combat the Decepticons in the air. Their Sparks were spawned one by one from the AllSpark, and carried by Wheeljack, shortly before the launch of the AllSpark into space, making them the last Autobots spawned by the AllSpark.
While on Cybertron, the Aerialbots were taught how to fight, on the ground as well as in the air, though the latter was left to a lot of trial and error, as the Autobots did not have a lot of aerial-frame bots to teach them.
During the battle on Earth, the Aerialbots stayed on Cybertron. Some time after Optimus’s message, however, they decided to leave, mostly to see if they could find Wheelack. During the journey, the team was separated and scattered, though they seem to be slowly making their way to Earth to regroup.
Additional information: Slingshot is the left arm of Superion.
