How I imagine Hot Shot and his Mini-Con Partner are like after reading Jolt's Bio

Dear Vector Prime,

In some universes, the Mini-Cons are creations of Unicron that gained free will and rebelled against him; in others, they are the children of Micronus Prime of the Thirteen. Is there a reality where both are true?

Dear Mini Myth,

I must admit to deriving some small amount of pleasure from the fact that in one universe, Unicron appears but once in the Covenant of Primus: in a verse where our father states, "Unicron is creator of all Mini-Cons."

But I was there, and so I know that in truth, Primus was addressing my brother: "You, Micronus, creator of all Mini-Cons."

Transformers Collection - Armada

Big Angry Trev and his Armada (toys) And so the great undertaking of cataloging my massive collection continues! Armada was a really fun Transformers toyline. It introduced a whole new race of Transformers – Mini-Cons, who could attach to larger Transformers to unlock new abilities. It also gave fans what we had been waiting for for nearly 20 years – a Unicron toy! Transformer Armada Autobot…

You Gotta Buy Some If You Wanna Get One Free!

February's Patreon-backed @tfwiki theme is CAMPAIGN PROMOTIONAL MICRONS! These exclusive Mini-Cons were only available by buying certain things in certain stores in Japan at certain times! And there's a LOT of them!

There had been some promos earlier, but things really blew up with Legend Of The Microns (aka Armada). You could get one random member of the DESTRUCTION MICRON UNDERGROVE EDITION (CRUSH, DUSTER, WHEEL) by buying Convoy Super Mode at Ito Yokaido stores in January.

Mind, some stores wouldn't always follow the rules. Reportedly, some Ito Yokaido stores gave you a Destruction Undergrove Micron with ANY LotM purchase. Which could certainly be a lot cheaper than buying three of the biggest toy in the line (so far) for the set!

Fifteen different promotional Microns were released through various outlets in LotM, though six of them are identical to normal-retail Hasbro Armada Mini-Cons. Some were offered through mulitple outlets and multiple dates, making them a bit easier to obtain.

In Galaxy Force (aka Cybertron), the Microns are themed to certain major characters! The HELLFLAME MICRONS (BULGE, GRAVITON, QUASAR) are themed to Flame Convoy (Scourge), and two have new handles glued onto them because the Scourge toy has no Powerlinx pegs to use their weapon modes!

The same thing happened to the CALIBER MICRONS (ICHIBI, HYAKURAI, MUGEN), as their partner Sonic Bomber (Wing Saber) hasn't got normal hands to hold weapons, just 5mm holes in his forearms. At this point, the members of the teams were often split up across multiple stores.

Takara would continue to pump out a ton of promotional toys over the next several years, especially a LOT of Arms Micron kits during Prime. But we're gonna skip those as I've heavily covered them already, and move on to some real weirdos…

For Lost Age (Age of Exintction), four DINOBOT MICRONS were released. SLING the dragon is… odd, because yeah, a dragon is not a dinosaur. He was available at a ton of chains with a 3000yen purchase of Lost Age toys. But let's move on to the real stars here…

IVAN, PAULIE, and THUNDERLIPS. Yes, you read that right. These three are named after Hasbro's "code names" for Grimlock, Strafe and Slug toys, all taken from Rocky characters. Amazing. Also, Thunderlips scares me because that clear-plastic feels so very breakable.

I've done a LOT of promo Micron images, but there's still roughly a dozen left I've not done pics of yet. Maybe I'll do some more very soon. Some I don't own yet, but I've been keeping an eye out. This has certainly been a fun run through old tiny toys.

If you like what I do here, why not toss a tip in my Patreon jar, at "gregstfwikipics"? Every little bit helps, and means more photos per month. Plus there's a pledge level that lets you pick a theme!

Universe 2008 Mini-Con Bios (Part 1)

Some bios I made for the Universe 2008 Mini-Cons, who never got any characterization (besides Stockade sorta in Beast Wars: Uprising). Starting with the 10-Pack Mini-Cons since they’re the only ones I own.

Battle Support Team

Sky Shadow: Sky Shadow is the leader of the Battle Support Team but finds himself ill-suited for the role. Back when he was part of a team with Crosshairs and Treadshot, Sky Shadow was content to let others lead while he took to the skies and bombed enemies from above without being seen. But the Mini-Con Civil War changed everything and Sky Shadow now finds himself leading a band of Mini-Cons that are just trying to stay alive in a world that is unfamiliar to them. While he does his best to keep everyone in line, sometimes he will let his guard down and allow others (namely Overcharge) to exploit him for their own means. The others recognize this and do what they can in helping him build up his confidence, even if they do sometimes get impatient with him from time to time.

Overcharge: Nobody really likes or even trusts Overcharge. Whenever he does something for someone, it’s almost always with the expectation that he will get something in return, usually in the form of monetary compensation. This infuriates his teammates to no end, who only tolerate his presence because of his keen sense of direction and knowledge of obscure paths and back roads that no one else knows, which comes in handy when the Decepticons are on their tail. Originally part of a Mini-Con trio, Overcharge joined the Battle Support Team after losing his teammates, and because Sky Shadow felt sympathetic for him, showing a soft part that the other members silently resent their leader for.

Ransack: Despite his fearsome appearance, Ransack is actually quite kind once you get to know him. While he is quite thorough when it comes to smashing things, he always stops to make sure that it is something that actually needs smashing rather than jumping the gun and doing it anyway. It is thanks to this foresight that he is able to restrain his friend Stockade from doing just that, something which his mentor Windrazor is grateful for. In a past life, Ransack had been the type of destroy things without much thought, but after seeing how both the Great War and the Mini-Con Civil War has affected people, he has come to realize that total destruction rarely accomplishes anything and that is far more productive to build rather than to break down.

Stockade: Stockade likes to think with her head, but not in the way most people view the term. Impatient and reckless, her first instinct when presented with an obstacle is to charge headfirst into it and worry about the consequences later—or, better yet, let others deal with the consequences. The only one who is able to hold her back is her good friend Ransack, who is always trying to convince her that not everything needs to be knocked down. Still, when some heavy muscle is actually needed, Stockade is the first to be called upon, and as frustrated as her teammates might get with her impetuous nature, even they have to admit that she gets the job done.

Windrazor: Windrazor is old, perhaps one of the oldest Mini-Cons to have ever lived. Once an advisor to the Council of Sages, Windrazor withdrew himself from society when civil war broke out, feeling that his advice had not been heeded. Taking his mentees Ransack and Stockade with him into exile, Windrazor eventually returned to join the Battle Support Team and give advice to their leader Sky Shadow. While nearly everyone else on the team believes that he would be better suited for leadership, Windrazor insists that his time of being a leader has come to an end and that it is time for others to lead for once. After all, it was the stubbornness and stagnation of the Council of Sages that had led to disarray in the first place, and he would be remiss to allow history to repeat itself again.

Ground Surveillance Team

Crosshairs: Crosshairs may have a keen military mind and an excellent strategist, but his people skills make him a terrible leader. He is constantly berating and verbally abusing those serving under his command, treating them like worthless pieces of scrap. He also has poor communication skills, always expecting everyone to know exactly what he is thinking and carrying out his plans exactly as he has foreseen them. Naturally, this creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where his lack of communication causes his team to mess things up, which causes him to berate them and then not speak to them out of spite, repeating the cycle again. The only reason the others put up with him is because they have no one else to go to and because Crosshairs seems to be the only one who knows what’s going on and where they’re going.

Longview: Longview is easily distracted. Soaring in the skies in her eagle alternate mode, she often finds her mind drifting off as she stares at the wonderful scenery around her. This infuriates her leader (and sole flying partner) Crosshairs to no end, and he constantly has to threaten her with repercussions to get her head back in the game. When she is centered and focused, Longview is a ruthless fighter, diving at Autobot foes and attacking them with her talons. While this might make her great fighter, her absent-mindedness causes her to fail in her primary function as aerial reconnaissance; the only reason Crosshairs keeps her in that role is because no one else on the team is suited for it and he has yet to find a Mini-Con willing to join him to take her place.

Scavenger: Scavenger’s function is his name, as redundant as it may sound. Still, it’s a function he carries out well, perhaps better than anyone else on the team carries out theirs. His keen olfactory sensors make him ideal for seeking out energon and other resources, and he has no qualms with picking things off of deactivated bots if he has to. Perhaps his greatest drawback is his ego; he is always bragging to anyone with functioning audio receptors just how good he is at his job and that Crosshairs could not have found a better bot than him to do the job. To say this annoys his teammates would be an understatement, but there is little they can do about it. If they complain, then Scavenger might find reason to withhold energon from them, and Crosshairs certainly isn’t going to listen to them over his most trusted follower.

Snow Cat: Snow Cat hates people. The only reason she is with the Ground Surveillance Team is because she still needs energon as much as any other ‘bot, and because she has run out of places to keep a low profile. She can’t stand her teammates’ personalities and the only orders she listens to are the ones that involve her clawing out Autobots’ optics. The only Mini-Con’s presence she can tolerate even slightly is Longview’s, and that’s only because Longview spends most of her time in the sky, away from Snow Cat, and is too distracted by other things to bother Snow Cat with pointless conversation.

Treadshot: Treadshot loves shooting things—a bit too much, actually. Twitchy and apprehensive, he is the physical manifestation of the phrase “jump the gun.” As soon as something or someone enters his line of sight without warning, he whips out his gun and starts shooting at it. Even when it’s a fellow teammate he’s shooting at, Treadshot doesn’t care and will proceed to brag about how good of a shot he is straight to the faceplate of the Mini-Con he just shot at. While the others would be more than happy to get rid of him, if only for their own personal safety, Crosshairs keeps him around because he would rather have a loose cannon he can control rather than have Treadshot end up with someone who could use the hyperactive tank against him.

Comic Report: Transformers Armada UK comic

A Clutter Report Comic Report reworking an old BW article about the Transformers Armada UK comic

The project for this week hit some snags and I don’t have time to do a full article going over those snags. A plan for next time perhaps or maybe I’ll just move on to something worthwhile. So to make up the time I’ve reworked an old article from my other site for the more casual crowd I expect comes to this site versus that one.. For those of you who don’t read that site or haven’t seen me…

Jolt may just be my Favourite Minicon because I love his Helicopter Mode and New Heels too

(which isn't saying much because my favourite transformers are still ultra magnus, grimlock, sixshot and javelin too and jolt is still not worth over 50 dollars)

any bot get too high on somethin?

Dear Structure Scaler,

It has been known to happen, often with fatal results: for instance, the Mini-Con Hacksaw was quite high atop Proximax’s trans-hyperwave caster tower when Broadside pushed him to his death.

Just added to @tfwiki, new pics of the four CLEAR MICRON CAMPAIGN toys. These little bots were available in stores across Japan starting on May 17 2014, available free with the purchase of 3000 yen worth of Lost Age (aka Age of Extinction) product.

BEET-CHOP was at Edion, Best Denki, Yamada Denki, and Yodobashi Camera stores.

BUZZSAW was at Joshin Denki and Bic Camera.

MICRON JOLT was at AEON stores.

SILVER ROLLER was a Toys"R"Us exclusive.

Speaking of...

ASTROTRAIN fits the Clear Micron Campaign aesthetic, but was his own separate Toys"R"Us promotion starting August 8th. once again, getting him took buying 3000 yen of Lost Age toys.

In honor of Dracula Daily I’m going to be reposting Jonathan Harker’s Adventures in Castle Dracula, aka some little comics I made into a zine in 2017/18. Here’s the cover (og red and the pink version that ultimately looked better in print)

And of course, happy Lizard Fashion day

#dracula #dracula daily #though these arent like a good example of the way my art looked in 2017 cuz they were all rapid fire doodles. my art has improved a lot.#and it’s also interesting to see just the way going from mostly digital to mostly traditional changed my art. like the lack of lineweight #on these? crazy. I just dont really draw like that any more #anyway slim chance but if there’s anyone here on tumblr who actually bought a physical one of these zines from me when I sold them at #SCAD’s mini comics con: I love you. I hope the staples didnt fall apart on your copy lol god knows I stapled them like a maniac #jonathan harker’s adventures in castle dracula

soundwave with his 2 lil minbots cassettes and 3 minicons cassettes

A high-ranking decepticon only outranked by Megatron himself, Soundwave is smart, logical, efficient , loyal, and one of the most dangerous decepticons out there, co-leading the decepticons stranded on earth with Starscream. though often he and Startscream are working against each other rather than with each other. Starscream wants to run things differently, while Soundwave wants to continue fallowing Megatron's old orders until they can get back in contact with Cybertron and get new orders from Megatron.

Though Soundwave's dry, monotone way of speaking and efficient way of carrying out tasks might make you think he is not the creative type, he is actually quite the artist, most often expressing himself through music ragging between several different cybertronian music genres.

just the lil guys
