  • Lens (Micron Booster, 2004)
    • Booster ID number: 4
Lens is a redeco of the Energon Saber Mini-Con Skyboom, transforming into a Cybertronic shuttle, as well as forming the hilt of the Blizzard Saber sword. He was sold as part of the second 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.
The same mold is also used by Cybertron Ramjet. The original version of the mold is used by Shade and Sonar.
Transformers: Armada mold: Sonar

Notes

  • 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]
