Safeguard was originally from <A title=Gigantion href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Gigantion">Gigantion</A>, the Giant Planet, but was trapped in a shuttle pod with the <A title="Recon Mini-Con Team" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Recon_Mini-Con_Team">Recon Mini-Con Team</A> that blasted off and floated aimlessly through space. The lost Mini-Cons were accidentally discovered by Vector Prime, who took them with him on his travels.
Safeguard was sent to investigate underwater ruins off of an island while the
humans played in the surf and Vector Prime sunned himself. They turned out to be
just another reproduction, not the actual <A title="Omega Lock"

When Vector Prime sacrificed himself to turn back time and enable the Autobots to escape Gigantion, Safeguard remained with his fellow Mini-Cons. Following the Autobots' victory, Safeguard wistfully looked at the launch pad at the Autobot base and imagined he saw Vector Prime taking off. *Sniff.* <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title=Beginning href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Beginning">Beginning</A></SPAN>

- Vector Prime w/ Safeguard (Voyager, 2005)
- Japanese ID number: GC-03
- The pack-in Mini-Con partner to Vector Prime, Safeguard transforms into a
Cybertronic (Gigantian?) starfighter with a gunbarrel nosecone.
- The <A class=mw-redirect title=Takara
href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Takara">Takara</A> version of the set, released first, uses an off-white base plastic. The later <A title=Hasbro href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hasbro">Hasbro</A> release changed this color to a brighter white.
- Roots (Change Micron, 2005)
- Change Micron ID number: 4
- Part of the only <A title=Kabaya
href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Kabaya">Kabaya</A> "<A class=new title="Change Micron" href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Change_Micron&action=edit">Change Micron</A>" <A title="Candy toy" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Candy_toy">candy toy</A> assortment in Galaxy Force, this version of Safeguard is actually a new sculpt based on the pack-in version. The most notable difference in the Change Micron version is that the nosecone is cast in the same off-white plastic as his body, rather than cast in burgundy/brown (due to being <A title=Gang-molding href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Gang-molding">gang-molded</A> with Vector Prime) and painted to match the body as the original versions were.
- Starscream vs Vector Prime w/ Safeguard (Multi-pack, 2005)
- Safeguard also came in a Toys "R" Us <A title=Exclusive
href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Exclusive">exclusive</A> set along with Vector Prime (duh) and a new-deco version of the Voyager-class <A title="Starscream (Armada)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Starscream_(Armada)#Cybertron_2">Starscream</A> mold. This version of Safeguard (and Vector) is identical to the normal Hasbro release.
- Galaxy Force Vector Prime w/ Safeguard (Voyager, 2006)
- Just as Vector Prime was <A title=Redeco
href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Redeco">redecoed</A>, so too was Safeguard, changing to a predominantly bronze color scheme. <A name=Attacktix></A> <H3><SPAN class=editsection>[<A title="Edit section: Attacktix" href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Safeguard_%28Cybertron%29&action=edit§ion=7">edit</A>]</SPAN> <SPAN class=mw-headline>Attacktix</SPAN></H3>
- Vector Prime (Booster, 2006)
- A rather oddly proportioned version of Safeguard in starfighter mode makes
an appearance as the missile launcher on the Vector Prime <A title=Attacktix href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Attacktix">Attacktix</A> piece.
