A few interesting auctions have appeared on TaoBao today, namely some new, in package Minicons, based on the Cybertron Recon Team and Giant Planet Team, as well as Classics molds. We see some single carded Minicons, as well as new eight pack, similar to the shared exclusive 12-pack and 10-pack from the last two years. Interestingly, the 8-pack features multiple languages, making it likely this is European packaging. It is unknown if any of these are exclusives at this point, but as find out information, we'll keep you updated.

Check them out here:

At least the silliness of the names is now on par with the simplicity of Japanese Micron names.

Thanks, I was going to name them, but got called away to do actual IT office work , so had to submit it as it was.

That said, I love the names Barrel Roll, Diveplane, Buckshot, Ironside, Iron Claw, and Brake-Neck.

Also, Brake-Neck would make a great Shattered Glass Crasher.

Drivetrain looks very similar to Guardian Powered, and Heavy-Liftor looks relatively close to Mighty Dozer.

Also, did anyone notice the text: "Mini-con robots are living power batteries for larger robots." That's awfully cruel, isn't it?

No one would be cruel to a Mini-Con named Irene...

That's why I call my minicons: Key, Floor, and Suzy. Suzy is very nice.

What do you mean? You think we should be nice to minicons? Ridiculous! They are meant to be used!
