| I notice that this is tagged with the [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Category:Japanese-original_characters Japanese-original characters] category. Was Alpha Trion actually mentioned in the original Car Robots version? The reason I ask is that some RID things such as Gigatron = Megatron and the whole Auggie Cahnay thing were US adaptations, not instigated in the Japanese version. Therefore, if Alpha Trion isn't mentioned in the original dialogue, can he really be a "Japanese-original character"? Just a thought.

| Hold the heck on. Since when have we actually had fiction identifying the BotCon 2007 Alpha Trion toy as RiD? [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 19:58, 10 October 2015 (EDT)

| :I was wondering the same thing. Is there something in AVP confirming this somewhere? I don't recall reading it. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 20:05, 10 October 2015 (EDT)

| ::If you look at Beta Maxx's profile, it mentions that his partner is Alpha Trion. And since AVP confirmed that Beta Maxx is from Viron 704.31 epsilon, this pretty much confirms that his partner, Alpha Trion, is from there too.

| :::A reasonable assumption. A note explaining this should be made to clarify things on the page itself. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 20:40, 10 October 2015 (EDT)

| ::::Good point. I'll get on it --[[User:Crossblades|Crossblades]] ([[User talk:Crossblades|talk]]) 20:45, 10 October 2015 (EDT)

| :::::But wasn't that Alpha Trion the Shattered Glass version? Couldn't he have picked up a partner from a Viron stream while in Axiom Nexus? --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 20:48, 10 October 2015 (EDT)
| |
| ::::::Alpha Trion's toy came out in 2007. Shattered Glass wasn't introduced till 2008. It's clearly a repurpose. Plus, his profile makes no mention of the shattered glass universe. --[[User:Crossblades|Crossblades]] ([[User talk:Crossblades|talk]])) 20:56, 10 October 2015 (EDT)
| |
| :::::::Seems like the same kind of case as [[Jhiaxus (RID)]] where the first fictional material described the character as someone from one continuity, but AVP went "Well, they were also this other guy before the fiction came along, so there." --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 21:00, 10 October 2015 (EDT)
| |
| ::::::::I am taking issue with the assertion that because Beta Maxx has been identified as originating in a Viron stream, therefore the Alpha Trion he's partnered with must also be from Viron. Because, again. Axiom Nexus. Multiverse. These are things. Especially when it comes to AVP answers. And unless there's one that specifically says "this body is what RID Alpa Trion looks like, too" I disagree with the placement of the toy on this article. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 21:36, 10 October 2015 (EDT)

| :::::::::Hasn't FunPub explained that because of timing issues, they simply ended up utilizing the BotCon 2007 toy principally as the SG character? Plus, the fact that Alpha Trion's profile card makes him look good instead of evil is in keeping with SG Alpha Trion's lying nature, is it not? And the profile card mentions "three travelers" - referring to the events of ''[[Transcendent]]''. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D.

| ::::::::::Do we get to see SG Alpha Trion's purple Autobot badge anywhere in his fictional appearances? The toy has a red Autobot badge, so that might be a factor in our decision as well. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 21:43, 10 October 2015 (EDT)
| |
| :::::::::::That Red badge alone is proof that this toy was repurposed for Shattered Glass. Plus, Beta Maxx has not appeared in any fiction claiming to be partners with "Shattered Glass" Alpha Trion. --[[User talk:Crossblades|Crossblades]] ([[User talk:Crossblades|talk]]) 22:11, 10 October 2015 (EDT)
