Since Botcon 2007 the question on everyone's mind was, What is the the name of Alpha Trion's mini-con? Well wonder no more! Today the name and bio of the little guy was revealed at BotCon.com. The figure is named Beta Maxx. You can read the profile for Beta Maxx at BotCon.com. Also you can view a gallery for Beta Maxx.

Cool, and it's about time! Glad they got it done though.

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?

That is pretty cool.

"Able to interface freely with Vector Sigma and most archaic computer systems,..."

Ha! Love that inside joke with the old Betamax/VHS comparison.

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

Not bad for a minicon.

Lame name.

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?
