Astroscope is a certified Mini-Con's genius. He possess great intelligence and scientific knowledge of unparalleled scope. He's more at home in the mental realm of pure theory and equation than powerlinked to anyone. If he had his way, and there were no war, scientific study would be his life. Astroscope has made his peace with his fate however and the adventurous side of his personality loves the opportunities the war gives him to take his theories beyond the theoretical and help his friends.
Astroscope combines with the other members of the Space Mini-Con Team to form the Requiem Blaster

Toys
Armada
Astroscope comes in a standard three-pack along with his teammates, Payload and Sky Blast. The three can be combined into the Requiem Blaster. Oddly, Astroscope has a standard Mini-con port near the front of its vehicle mode, though the reason behind this is never explained. Maybe the Requiem Blaster can get the same powerup from a Mini-con as a larger Transformer?
Energon
Pretty much the same figure, but repackaged as an Energon series toy instead.
Trivia
- The personality of Astroscope in the DW Armada: More Than Meets the Eye guide is based on the Fantastic Four's Mister Fantastic; his teammates are likewise patterned on The Thing (Payload) and The Human Torch (Sky Blast). An Invisible Woman analogue is fittingly nowhere to be seen.
