That should hold the thread posts off for now...

Seeing as the minicons haven't been implemented yet (hint, hint possible posters), let's yell out some possible names for these sprites...

I think I get the most enjoyment out of surprising you guys on the Planning Team. (When it's stuff you actually want, anyway).

But it is true they are functionally just powerups like they were in the show. When you get slagged they are gone.

Minicons are like the Clintons. Half of you like them and half of you hate them. There is no inbetween.

So I say Minicons for President!

In all honesty I thought they were ignorant in the show (I thought EVERYTHING about those cartoons were ignorant) but they will be a really fun addition to HMW.

I like the minicons, I just don't like that they're being turned into desposible items in the game. I'd rather we could only get one that unlocked a tactic then have 12 that act as one time power ups for a mission and are then gone.

But from WhatI'm understanding, as long as YOU live, they do too. You die, they have no one to protect them, and get stepped on. Or run away. your preference.

But, they did get neames (Even if the Script writers couldn't get them straight). What was Leader-1? or
SParkplug?

Will we be able to steal minicons from stasis locked opponents? Do we have to equip them before each battle?
