[edit]- Triac (Micron Booster, 2004)
- Booster ID number: 3
- Super Link Triac is a redeco of the Mini-Con Thunderclash, transforming into a Cybertronic gunship.
- Triac was sold as part of the third Micron Booster assortment in Japan, in individual, blind-packed boxes so you did not know which Mini-Con you got until you opened the box and opaque black plastic bag inside. This assortment was exclusive to Lawson stores.
- This mold was also used to make Flashdrive/Processor and Barnstorm/Saber.

Er, whoops!
