Rad Rogue

Radrogue is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Generation 1/Beast Wars continuity family.

Radrogue is the fast-running leader of the Autobots (or Maximals; presumably those that accompany him, rather than the entire faction). He proclaims, "I will keep the rules of justice!"

Toys

Generation 1

• Radrogue (Micron Booster, 2007)
  • Booster ID number: 1

Radrogue is a redeco of the Classics Mini-Con Strongarm, transforming into a police car based on a 2006 Dodge Charger (but with the proportions messed up). He was only available in the fifth "Micron Booster" assortment in Japan, where each figure came in its own blind-packed, individual box.

This mold was also used for Detectas, Cybertron Strongarm, Flatfoot, Universe Overcharge, and Mighty Stra.

Notes

• The original solicitations for Micron Booster Ver.4 labeled chase-piece Detectas as "Radrogue clear version", which also appears on Takaratomy's web-site. However, the actual toy-packaging labels the piece as a separate character from Radrogue.

• The Micron Booster Ver.4 assortment uses the "classic" Japanese Transformers logo, ostensibly placing the characters within the Generation 1 continuity family. However, this set also gives Maximal and Predacon sigils to the beast-form Mini-Cons. It would appear then that these characters are from a "transitional" period from Generation 1 to the Beast Era, though chances are TakaraTomy didn't put even that much thought into it. Toys is toys.

• Radrogue's mold is the only Mini-Con mold with Powerlinx sockets that are accessible only in robot mode by design: the sockets on the outside of his lower legs, which end up folded against his thighs inside his car mode. However, he still has other sockets that remain accessible in both modes.
