• Booster ID number: 5

Super Link Seeker is a redeco of the Air Military Mini-Con Team Thunderwing mold, transforming into a "flying wing" stealth bomber. He also has a third spinning-blade weapon mode that uses the toy's Powerlinx socket as the swivel point.

He was available only as part of the third Micron Booster assortment, in a blind-packed, single-toy box. This assortment was exclusive to Lawson stores.

This mold was also used to make Razorclaw and Twirl, and was retooled into Ichibi.

Notes

Seeker's proto coloration (center).

• Early promotional images of the set showed the Air Military recolors in a considerably different color scheme than what was eventually produced. Proto-Seeker was originally to be either black or very dark blue (the photo shows a black robot mode but dark blue jet mode) with yellow limbs. Curiously, the other colors look to be the same as the final version.
