	: Revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2022, ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy]]'' Alpha Trion is a hefty [[retool]] of ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Scourge (G1)/toys#Studio Series\|Scourge]], transforming into a Cybertronian hovercraft in 21 steps. This release uses new "wing" pieces in robot mode to resemble his cape from the original animation model; unfortunately, due to clearance issues with his new chest, those pieces do not fold up neatly into the vehicle mode undercarriage, so they just kind of sit there awkwardly and make him tilt forward when placed on a flat surface. Alpha Trion also utilizes two newly sculpted [[5 mm post]]-compatible open-palm hands with rounded fingertips rather than having either of the previous molds' pointy and asymmetrical open/closed hand arrangements~~. This mold was also retooled into [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Legacy\|Senator Ratbat]]~~.		: Revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2022, ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy]]'' Alpha Trion is a hefty [[retool]] of ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Scourge (G1)/toys#Studio Series\|Scourge]], transforming into a Cybertronian hovercraft in 21 steps.

	:Part of [[Blokees]]' 7th entry for their Galaxy Version blindbox kits, this Alpha Trion is a roughly 4-inch-tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Prime Mentor. He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. As advertised in the box, Alpha Trion has a pull rate of 1 in every 9 boxes~~, or three times across four cases~~. Aside from the 2 pairs of hands, he also comes with his 2-piece Energon Tail-whip. In addition, Alpha Trion features a ball-jointed waist similar to his wave mates, and he also uses the underslung peghole forearms from the 5th wave.		:Part of [[Blokees]]' 7th entry for their Galaxy Version blindbox kits, this Alpha Trion is a roughly 4-inch-tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Prime Mentor.

	:If you're a speed builder, be mindful when attaching the pre-assembled joints; Unlike the symmetrical joints from earlier waves, the pegs on both ends of these joints are designed to connect to specific pieces; The tabs with slightly smaller holes are intended for the upper arms and thighs, while the regular tabs are meant for the forearms and lower legs. While an incorrect knee joint assembly may cause it to very slightly lean when standing straight or in an A-stance, an incorrect elbow assembly won't be noticeably affected unless you're looking very closely.		:If you're a speed builder, be mindful when attaching the pre-assembled joints; Unlike the symmetrical joints from earlier waves, the pegs on both ends of these joints are designed to connect to specific pieces; The tabs with slightly smaller holes are intended for the upper arms and thighs, while the regular tabs are meant for the forearms and lower legs.

	: Released in the second wave of [[Super7]]'s line of multi-property 3.75-inch "retro" action figures, ''[[ReAction]]'' Alpha Trion is a non-converting 3 3/4-inch action figure based on his appearance in the original cartoon, with 5 points of articulation (swivel neck, shoulders, hips) and holes in his feet for use with some variety of stand. Unlike most releases in this line, he lacks an accessory (but both of his hands are open to enable him to hold one), but he does have a thin vinyl cape which is not removable (at least, not without breaking it).		: Released in the second wave of [[Super7]]'s line of multi-property 3.75-inch "retro" action figures, ''[[ReAction]]'' Alpha Trion is a non-converting 3 3/4-inch action figure based on his appearance in the original cartoon, with 5 points of articulation (swivel neck, shoulders, hips) and holes in his feet for use with some variety of stand.

	: Revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2022, ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy]]'' Alpha Trion is a hefty [[retool]] of ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Scourge (G1)/toys#Studio Series\|Scourge]], transforming into a Cybertronian hovercraft in 21 steps. This release uses new "wing" pieces in robot mode to resemble his cape from the original animation model; unfortunately, due to clearance issues with his new chest, those pieces do not fold up neatly into the vehicle mode undercarriage, so they just kind of sit there awkwardly and make him tilt forward when placed on a flat surface. Alpha Trion also utilizes two newly sculpted [[5 mm post]]-compatible open-palm hands with rounded fingertips rather than having either of the previous molds' pointy and asymmetrical open/closed hand arrangements~~. This mold was also retooled into [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Legacy\|Senator Ratbat]]~~.		: Revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2022, ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy]]'' Alpha Trion is a hefty [[retool]] of ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Scourge (G1)/toys#Studio Series\|Scourge]], transforming into a Cybertronian hovercraft in 21 steps.

	: Alpha Trion was only available in the "A Hero Is Born" two-pack with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Legacy\|Orion Pax]], as well as a Vector Sigma accessory and the Key to Vector Sigma. The set went up for pre-order during [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022\|Pulse Con 2022]], and began appearing at stores in Hong Kong shortly afterward.		: Alpha Trion was only available in the "A Hero Is Born" two-pack with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Legacy\|Orion Pax]], as well as a Vector Sigma accessory and the Key to Vector Sigma.

	: [[Taiwan]]ese fans who supported the [[Hasbro Pulse\|HasLab]] [[Star Saber (G1)#Legacy\|Victory Saber]] project ended up getting the "A Hero Is Born" set instead (along with a full refund) after their Victory Sabers were severely water damaged during shipment and could not be delivered.
