Alpha Trion's Mini-Con could be called Monzo after Weirdwolf's master component. That might be an odd fit going by the his Universe bio, though.

Dude I want Weirdwolf SO BADLY, and ONLY Weirdwolf out of the entire set, something about his color scheme makes me want him Oh so terribly!

Too bad I'm a poor college kid, and can never afford one, it would be a miracle if someone hated it and wanted to sell it for $20, hahahaha

hey, YOU try going to University in Puerto Rico, see how that holds up with ur wallet, hahaha :-D

It should really be called Safeguard, considering that's the mold it was based on, and seeing as how that was already in the VSD, considering there's no word on what his actual name is.

Stop stealing the story of my life.

And yeah, Weirdwolf is awesome. I love obscure homages like that, and he looks perfect, and he looks even better because I'll never get him.

It's like the 'ol fable with the fox and the grapes, you only want what you cannot have.

He is a repaint of Cybertron Snarl (A figure I still need to get!) Here is the link to his gallery:

I keep bugging Pete and Rik at Master Collector to find out what his name is. Pete said that they will finally reveal his name this week but we'll see. I'll certainly let you guys know. If you look at "Alpha Trion's Mini-Con" in the VSD, you'll see that he has an interesting motto that I gave him.

Any Idea if BBts will sell Vector Sigma, like they did with the golden disc set?

I like the substitute that I'm using, but wouldn't mind this one, mainly because of the key.

Your right. There've been other figures (like when Armada's Deluxe Optimus Prime and Sideswipe were repainted/retooled into the Ultra Magnus/Treadshot set from Universe) where the Mini-Cons kept the names they had in previous release.

My train of thought was that since we've already got Wierdwolf in this set, why should Monzo get left out? Just reassign him to A3 as a Mini-Con. Good points though.
