Toys
No toy of Pulse was ever released. However, he was based on the MC-20 Micro Scope toy from the Micro Change line.
Notes
- The robot in The War Within #2 was unnamed till Ask Vector Prime retconned him to be the "Pulse" mentioned in "Fragmentation".
- The Pulse is based on Scope Man, a toy from the Micro Change line that was never brought over into the The Transformers toyline. The toy itself is mainly blue, whereas its fictional Transformers appearance is mainly yellow.
- Takara filed a U.S. patent claim for the Micro-Change Binocular Robo Scope Man in September 1984, at the same time as other Micro-Change figures that were actually reused for Transformers, like Perceptor and Blaster. Whether this means that the Binocular Bot was considered for reuse as well or this was just Takara covering their bases is unknown.
