Generation 1

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXTREME CRANE TRAILER WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

• Missile Launcher (Micromaster Combiner Transport, 1990)
  • Accessories: Missile Launcher Transport, 2 missiles, left & right guns, left & right shields/ramps

A redeco of Excavator, Surge transforms into a crane trailer which is intended to be the rear half of a red crane truck, which he forms with his combiner partner Retro. As a Micromaster Combiner, he can as well connect to any other Micromaster Combiner or Combiner Transport to make a new vehicle.

He was only available in a set with Retro and the Missile Launcher.

Ironically, the word "retro" means "backward-looking", while a "surge" is a "forward movement". Perhaps Retro and Surge had their names switched by accident.

This mold was also used to make the Japanese Autobot Excavator.
