Notes
[edit]- Originally released by Takara in 2004 in an assortment with no bios and thus no established characterization, Thyristor was later given an online Collectors' Club profile as the female "Road Rebel". Thyristor was the only one of her wave trio to receive an American bio prior to the Club's online bio system becoming defunct circa 2010, with Synapse's bio as "Impulse" falling through, and Chrome's status unknown. Nevertheless, a 2015 Ask Vector Prime Facebook post would expand upon this toy trio and establish them as a team.
