That he's barely visible even when his cloaking systems ''aren't'' active makes his ability to not be seen all the easier.		His special cloaking ability completely hides him from most any sensor net.

	* Detectas's name did not appear on any promotional materials for this assortment, where he was simply called "Radrogue Clear Version". However, the actual packaging for the toys supplies his name, ~~establishing~~ him as a separate character.		* None of the Micron Boosters came with any Romanized names on their blindboxed packaging. As such, the character's name can alternatively be spelled "Detectas" or "Detectus". In 2008, [[Greg Sepelak]] and [[Trent Troop]] went with the former for Detectas's media debut in "Gone Too Far".

	Special Investigative Officer Detectas used his impressive stealth powers to sit in on [[Cheetor (TransTech)\|Cheetor]] and [[Stungun (TransTech)\|Stungun]]'s interrogation of the Autobots [[Hubcap (G1)\|Hubcap]] and [[Jackpot (G1)\|Jackpot]], who had been framed for the murder of [[Gutcruncher (G1)\|Gutcruncher]]. It is not certain whether even Stungun was aware of his presence, though given the close working relationship between the two TransTech officers is seems unlikely that Stungun would have been left out of the loop. When the Autobots ~~escaped - or~~ were allowed to escape - Detectas was sent to covertly tail them in the hope that they would lead him to the real killer.

	When the Autobots found themselves cornered in an alleyway by a pack of [[Malignus (G1)\|Malignus Revolutionaries]], a lucky ricochet revealed Detectas's location and sent him crashing down from the ledge he had been occupying. Detectas feebly declared that everyone was under arrest, but in his weakened state he wasn't able to do much about it. Further damage from this ricochet caused an electrified sign to crash down into the alleyway, giving the Autobots the opening they needed to escape with Detectas in tow. Once they were clear, Detectas explained his assignment to the Autobots. Detectas disappeared, apparently too damaged to continue his investigation. Cheetor expected him to recover to operational status by the next noon. {{storylink\|Gone Too Far}}		When the Autobots found themselves cornered in an alleyway by a pack of [[Malignus (G1)\|Malignus Revolutionaries]], a lucky ricochet revealed Detectas's location and sent him crashing down from the ledge he had been occupying.
