Going by the name and not having read the bio:

Is he of superior quality to other Mini-Cons but can't be used for as long?

So he is quick, smart, and has powerful blasts.

Not bad for a minicon.

It isn't a bad name, and I'm finally glad there is an official name for Alpha Trion's partner. I've needed one for my custom for the longest time and I didn't want to use a made-up one. I wanted something official. It is a good homage to the old beta-max system, and does have an interesting ring to it, though i think a name like "Sage" might have been cooler.

Alright, I'll buy it(not literaly of course). However I do think its weird that a Mini ment to be a partner would have a bio that starts of describing him as someone who likes to be left alone?

I guess in 20 years or so, he'll be renamed BluRay.

OMFG! Beta Maxx?! Wasn't the name of a failed VCR released by Sony back in the early 1980s?
