If it has three 1/2" outboard tubes (i assume what you called "pods"), vs two 3/4" outboard tubes, then it IS a Trident! (or at least a clone! I have some friends who were distributing a clone Trident a few years ago, even going so far as to use recycled Estes bags!)
The Bident is not a bad design, mind you. We just felt cheated a little back in 1990 when Mary Roberts told us it was coming and we were expecting the old Trident.
