- Alpha Trion/Weirdwolf (souvenir add-on, 2007)
- A redeco of Cybertron Vector Prime's partner Safeguard, Beta Maxx transforms into a Cybertronic "HI-TECH Star Schooner" with a gunbarrel nosecone.
- He was only made available in a bagged BotCon 2007 exclusive souvenir set with Alpha Trion and Weirdwolf, limited to 1400 pieces.
Notes
[edit]- When this Beta Maxx was first referenced in The AllSpark Almanac, it was thought to be a reference to Timelines Beta Maxx. However, whereas Timelines Beta Maxx was a small Autobot, this Beta Maxx is a Mini-Con. A 2015 entry of the Facebook version of Ask Vector Prime clarified that there were both Robots in Disguise and Unicron Trilogy incarnations of Beta Maxx, the former being a Micromaster and the latter being a Mini-Con.
- ↑ "Alpha Trion was one of the core figures of that set. Cybertron Vector Prime was the obvious choice. We though having his minicon be Vector Sigma, and cast in gold vac metal, would be fun. When released, they went with a simpler color scheme, and changed the Minicon to Beta Maxx."—Joe Moore, Twitter, 2021/03/12
