Road Rebel is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Road Rebel is one of the many energy-enhancing Mini-Cons who have allied themselves with the Autobots.[1] A member of the Stealth Augmentation Team, she is incredibly self-centered and difficult to catch. Road Rebel has loud-thumping speakers which can even knock a moderately sized Bulk off their feet when focused as a weapon; she can also increase the speed of any Bulk she is Powerlinxed to.[2]

  • Thyristor (Micron Booster, 2004)
  • Booster ID number: 2
Super Link Thyristor is a redeco of the "Corona" Sparkplug toy, transforming into a Cybertronic sports car.
She was sold only as part of the second 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. This assortment was sold primarily through convenience stores.
Thyristor uses the same mold as Chrome and Synapse. The original version of the mold is used by Atlas and Rod.
