Toys

Galaxy Force

• Trigger (Micron Booster, 2005)

• Booster ID number: 5

Trigger was repurposed as Heavy Barrel in the IDW comics.

Galaxy Force Trigger is a redeco of the Armada Mini-Con Crumplezone, transforming into a Cybertronic tank. He can also form a cockpit with under-slung cannon for the Armada Cyclonus mold, though the remolding on Cybertron Buzzsaw makes using him with that version difficult.

Available only as part of the fourth Micron Booster assortment in Japan, Trigger came in a "blind-packed" box that prevented the buyer from knowing the contents of the box until it was opened.
