| This article is about the Cybertron Mini-Con. For the G.I. Joe human, see Repeater (G.I. Joe). |
- Repeater is a Gigantion Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
The troubled Repeater is a member of the Steel Reinforcement Team, the personal attendants of the Giant Planet leader Metroplex. Following the violent death of his original Bulk partner, Repeater has become dangerously obsessed with order, routine, and cleanliness. Though he possesses impressive firepower, he can't stand the chaos of battle, and may freeze up from post-traumatic stress syndrome in a fight.[1]
Toys
Galaxy Force
- Megalo Zapmap (Promotional Micron, 2005)
- Release date: September 29 2005
- A redeco of the Destruction Mini-Con Team member Dualor in colors matching those of Metroplex, Repeater/Megalo Zapmap transforms into a twin-barreled anti-aircraft tank similar to a Gepard. A gear-wheel system on his vehicle-mode underside moves his gun barrels in a "pom-pom" action when he is pushed along a smooth surface, or when he is connected to the gearing system on the Cyclonus/Buzzsaw mold.
- Megalo Zapmap was one of several promotional Mini-Cons exclusive to various stores for a limited time in Japan. Megalo Zapmap could only be obtained with the purchase of any Transformers product at Joshin Denki stores in late September of 2005. As Joshin Denki has no stores within Tokyo, many Japanese fans had difficulty obtaining him, and Megalo Zapmap tends to command a higher price than his teammates on the secondary market.
- This mold was also used to make Ascentor.
