Trickshot
From MediaWiki
- Bingo is a Mini-Con from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Bingo is one of many power-enhancing Mini-Cons who help the Autobots search the galaxy for pure Energon ore, part of Barnstorm's Elite Flying Corps. That is, until Unicron turned her into the evil Triac (トライアック Toraiakku).
Sometimes, Bingo is instead male and known as Trickshot.[1]
Fiction
Ask Vector Prime
Vector Prime explained that iterations of the Elite Flying Corps often had the misfortune to encounter Unicron while scouting the galaxy for energon ore. The Chaos-Bringer reformatted them into the evil Apocalypse Brigade Mini-Con Team. Bingo became the warrior Triac, so named for her ability to briefly create two genetronic duplicates.

- Triac (Micron Booster, 2004)
- Booster ID number: 3
- Triac is a redeco of the Mini-Con Thunderclash, transforming into a Cybertronic gunship. He was sold as part of the third Micron Booster assortment in Japan, in individual, blind-packed boxes so you did not know which Mini-Con you got until you opened the box and opaque black plastic bag inside.
- The same mold is also used by Flashdrive/Processor and Barnstorm/Saber.

Notes
- Bingo was not established as female until a 2015 entry of the Facebook version of Ask Vector Prime.
- A profile in English for Trickshot/Triac was written for the Transformers Collectors' Club website, but never published.[2]
- Triac's stock photography shows her with a much darker purple than the final toy.

- ↑ Trickshot's bio was never published on the Transformers Collectors' Club website like that of his teammates, but he was named in Flashdrive's bio... something that failed to be noted by Triac's TFWiki page, leading to the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime ascribing Triac a new identity in 2015. Er, whoops!
