• Accel (Micron, 2004)

• Release date: 2004 April 28

A redeco of the Energon/Cybertron Perceptor component High Wire, Accel transforms into a dirt-racing motorbike of undetermined, probably-made-up model. They can also form the head and backpack of the combined robot Windcharger.

This figure was exclusively available at Japanese Toys"R"Us stores, as a promotional giveaway with the purchase of 2000 yen worth of Super Link toys, and was limited to 4000 pieces countrywide.

This toy doubles as the Beast Wars: Uprising character Axle. This mold was also used to make Micron Booster Brake.

Notes

• Accel's name is sometimes rendered in English as "Axle", but this does not match the standard spelling in Japanese for "axle" (アクスル akusuru). It was this misconception that led to the Beast Wars: Uprising incarnation of the character bearing the "Axle" name.
