About This Part
Needle-S is Hasbro's SlingShock version of Needle, keeping the studded ball tip and four surrounding tabs but adding a mode-change gimmick between "Battle Ring Mode" and "SlingShock Mode". It debuted in western markets with the Crash Roktavor R4 and Thorns-X Mad Minoboros M4 Dual Pack.
In Play
The tabs sit too tall for the studded ball to ever touch the stadium floor in Battle Ring Mode, so it always behaves as if switched to SlingShock Mode, which only adds height and makes the combination easier to destabilize; the community considers it unusable in serious play and keeps it strictly for a collection.
