If it is a trigger, why border didnt use it? Depends on how you define your terms. According to the wiki, a Trion Soldier is "a drone made of and running on Trion". In which case, it could be argued that Border have produced and used one: the Dummy Beacon.

Technically, I think any sort of tech using Trion as a power source would technically be considered a Trigger, since the definition seems to be "device that manipulates and is powered by Trion". However, the term usually refers to a specific set of devices that would exclude most Trion soldiers.

All Replica seems to have done is activate a Seal that creates a Trion Soldier of a type that has been analyzed sufficiently. That doesn't make the Soldier a Trigger, though, just the product of one. There are other examples that blur the lines more majorly, such as Replica himself, and his ability to integrate and control Yuuma's Black Trigger, plus the fact that he gets his power supply from Yuuma.

Blurred lines aside, though, the standard Trion Soldiers are at least partially autonomous, though they do seem to take orders from humans as well. Still, their motions are pre-programmed. They're basically robots made of Trion.
