'''Circuit''' is a member of the Turbo Team, six urban-operations Micromasters who can combine to form [[Sixturbo]]. The Turbo Team fight alongside the [[Guard City]] team and other Micromasters to protect the Earth from the forces of the mighty [[Decepticon]] führer [[Scrash]]. Circuit, being a race car, is naturally the fastest member of the Turbo Team, and acts as a scout and a messenger. He's also dangerous on the road--he's not bad at driving, just really excitable. This drives [[Road Police]] crazy.

Revision as of 10:11, 14 July 2009

The name or term "Circuit" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Circuit (disambiguation).
Circuit is a Micromaster from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Have you seen me?

This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.

Circuit, being a formula race car, is naturally the fastest member of the Turbo Team, and acts as a scout and a messenger. He's also dangerous on the road--he's not bad at driving, just really excitable. This drives his chief Road Police crazy.

Also, he says he can talk to the wind. Nobody's quite sure what to make of this.


Fiction

Micromaster Collection

Circuit was infected with the Reverse Evolution virus, which turned him into a Decepticon, and he went about causing random destruction with his similarly-altered teammates. Sireen, who had escaped infection, tricked Circuit and the others into combining with him to form Sixturbo, then restored them all to normal with an antivirus program. Enter the Urban Disaster Relief Specialists!!

Later, Circuit felt a strange wind coming from the dimensional tear that brought the Multiforce into the six-teams' era. The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!


Toys

Operation: Combination

  • Sixturbo (Micromaster Sixteam, 1992)
    • Japanese ID number: TF-03
The original version of Circuit was available only as part of a Sixturbo gift set in Japan. Aside from the Formula 1 race car mode, Circuit can form either arm of any of the similar-build Six-Teams (Sixturbo, Sixbuilder or Sixwing), though his nominal placement is as the left arm of Sixturbo. The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.
The toy's larger connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Circuit compatible with Powerlinx ports.
This mold was also used to make Universe Streetwise.


Micromaster Collection

  • Circuit (Micromaster, 2002)
    • Sixturbo ID number: 3
    • Accessories: Left Sixturbo fist, radar assembly
In 2002, the entire Sixturbo team was re-released as part of the "Micromaster Collection", in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, all of the decals from the original version were replaced with paint applications, including several new bits of deco, though Circuit loses his "AUTO BOT" and "CYBERTRON" sponsor deco from the original version.


  • Reverse Evolution Circuit (Micromaster, 2002)
    • Sixturbo ID number: 3
    • Accessories: Left Sixturbo fist, radar assembly
In every case of twelve Turbo Team Micromasters, two of them were solid-black-plastic "Reverse Evolution" Decepticon-allied variations. All six Micromasters were available in this manner.
