[edit]- Sunstorm w/ Inferno & Street Action Mini-Con Team (Multi-pack, 2004)
The Universe version of High Wire was repurposed as Shattered Glass Highwire.
- Available only as a Wal-Mart exclusive, Universe High Wire is a redeco of Armada High Wire, transforming into a tiny BMX bicycle with turning pedals. Unlike the rest of his team, his colors remain mostly the same, with the only real change being the combiner head kibble, which is green instead of blue. High Wire combines with Grindor and Sureshock to form Perceptor.
- Oddly, all photos on the card show the set in their respective molds' original color schemes, with Sunstorm replaced with Thrust and the Mini-Cons in their Armada colors.
