ALPHA TRION

-Notable Toy: Botcon Exclusive (Hasbro, 2007)
Notes: Fans have long waited for a proper Alpha Trion, even going so far as to adopt Cybertron Vector Prime to serve as a substitute. And just when we thought we’d never see anything closer than the Japanese PVC version, A3 himself appears at Botcon 2007. What a pleasant surprise, particularly the new face mold. And though it doesn’t make sense to really include a mini-con with a “Gee-Won” toy, who can resist an extra figure thrown into the works?
