Universe (2003)

• Crystal Widow vs Oil Slick (Multi-pack, 2004)

Available only as part of a K-Mart exclusive set, the Search and Destroy Robot is almost completely identical to the Armada Mini-Con Nightbeat, transforming into a motorcycle of indeterminate model. The only differences between the two are slight differences in the shades of plastic used, and also that Search and Destroy Robot's rear wheel assembly was installed upside-down (the "B"-shaped joint bolted to the main body is arranged so the indent faces towards the body on the Robot, where Nightbeat has it pointing away). This assembly error is also on the also-nigh-identical Universe Nightbeat, Universe Treadshot's Mini-Con partner. Search and Destroy Robot can be stored in the back end of Oil Slick's car mode.

The same mold is also used by the Galaxy Force Micron Booster Mini-Con Gauge.

Notes

• Although the toy has a Mini-Con insignia, the Search and Destroy Robot(s) has been established in-universe to not be a Mini-Con.
