Notes
[edit]- Like most of the Micron Boosters, Lens's name is a word related to the Japanese name of the original toy, in this case, Skyboom's Japanese name "Beam".
- Circa 2007, the Transformers Collectors' Club commissioned profile art for Lens, to be given the localized name Coldsnap, but it was never officially used due to the Mini-Con bio program going defunct. Artist MCRG would later post it to DeviantArt.[1]
