	: Astroscope was sold as an individual in the second series of [[Kabaya]] "[[Change Micron]]" [[candy toy]]s in Japan. This mold is based on the original, but is in fact an entirely new mold with numerous minor sculpting differences. It's likely this toy is also not [[Gang-molding\|gang-molded]] with his teammates like the original. The most notable differences between the [[Hasbro]]/[[TakaraTomy\|Takara]] Astroscope and the Kabaya version is the latter has darker-blue plastic for the head, plus lacks the "solar panel" [[Paint operation\|paint applications]] on the interior of his legs.		: Astroscope was sold as an individual in the second series of [[Kabaya]] ''[[Change Micron]]'' [[candy toy]]s in Japan, packed with a baggie of fizzy ramune candy, sold primarily in grocery and convenience stores.

	'''Astroscope''' is a certified Mini-Con genius. He possesses great intelligence and scientific knowledge of unparalleled scope. He's more at home in the mental realm of pure theory and equation than [[Powerlinx]]ed to anyone. If he had his way, and there were no war, scientific study would be his life. Astroscope has made his peace with his fate, however, and the adventurous side of his personality loves the opportunities the war gives him to take his theories beyond the theoretical and help his friends.
