Found some weird figures that I've never heard of

...Went to Big Lots in Beaverton, OR, the other day and they had a box of scout class figures whose alt modes were animals and they came with cyber planet keys. They were in 2010 Transformers packaging but I've never heard of them. I can't recall the names of the figures but one of them was a rhino...Anyone have any more info on this? Also, they had some figures that were designated "Mino-Con" class instead of "Scout" or "Legend" class...

I believe the first ones you mentioned are the re-packaged Cybertron Scout-class figs. Not sure about the others.

Yep, the Rhino one is Cybertron Backstop. Perhaps they'd been released in new packaging - it happened to Cybertron Mudflap when the first movie line came out, though they recoloured him while keeping the same name.
Are you sure the others said 'mino-con' and no 'mini-con'? There were some minicon teams released as part of the Cybertron line too.
