| 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 Generation 1 continuity family.
Circuit (サーキット Sākitto), 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
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 Turbo Teammates. Circuit was apparently the last of the five to be infected. The sixth team member Sireen had escaped infection, and tricked Circuit and the others into combining with him to form Sixturbo. This connection allowed him to spread a specially prepared antivirus program throughout the team, restoring them all to normal. 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!
Operation Combination
Years later, Circuit and the rest of the Six-team Micromasters joined Guard City and the Road Corps in defending Earth from the forces of the Decepticon Führer Scrash. Operation Combination
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 a lot of accessories and other toys.
- This mold was also used to make Universe Streetwise.
Micromaster
- 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 Transformers: Micromaster, 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.
Notes
- Circuit's spoiler-mounted sticker went through an interesting change between pre-production and final release: as shown by the September 1992 issue of TV Magazine, he was originally sponsored by Citanes, the same barely-altered-to-avoid-infringement cigarette company that appeared on the original Mirage!
- Like all of the six-team Micromasters, Circuit had no individual bio information whatsoever until his Micromaster release a decade after his original Operation Combination release.
