"The universe is our hunting ground." Generally speaking, even the most evil minicon robots are more light hearted then their larger cousins, the Autobots and Decepticons. But not these guys. Everywhere they go, they move as if with some dire purpose, their glowing eyes scanning the landscape for potential prey. These robots live to hunt, and are always on the prowl, no matter what their actual mission is.

Ryan has just posted 3 new galleries for the Classics Toy Section. This time were getting more Minicons, and they happen to be the Predator attack Team. The Decepticon team is made up of 3 members and their names are Snarl, Overbite and Dreadwing.

how come they don't have a link to the homepage yet?

Because it's not that the Minicons are less important, but Ryan wanted Protoform Optimus Prime, Protoform Starscream, RID Prime and WWI Starscream to not be pushed off the frontpage. THey are the newest galleries but he had them still come after the 4 other figures to give them a little more spotlight still.

I hate classic mini-cons ...

1: If its classic, call them "Micromasters" !
2: There colors seems too be ugly ( For me )
3: I have seen too many mini-cons!

My second all-time favourite minicon set, next to the Classic Dinobots.

I love Overbite, wolves rule.

And Snarl is oddly appealing to me. Some of you might know how much I love funny-looking and weird TFs, and Snarl is like that ugly puppy in the litter that's so ugly he's actually adorable...

In luu of food, I got these guys over the weekend with the other two mini sets and the Magnus/Skywarp set.

To me they're best left as beasts, then again, with the exception of Snarl, for minis, the bot mods are pretty good.

All the black on the wolf looks amazing and the wings on the bird realy take that figure to a great level as he is well detailed.

Once again, nice job!

snarl's left arm is really ridiculous, but overbite and dreadwing are pretty nice, in both colors and forms.

I agree %100. The main Classics line is clearly made to appeal to G1 fans as much as the kids, but the inclusion of "Classics Minicons" seems to be a corporate decision to pad out the line. I'd be fine with it if they at least made sense- like looking like mini G1 style figures. These do nothing for me.
In the plus column, Overbite and Dreadwing are at least a notch above most of the Beast Mini-cons that I've seen.

I just bought the Dinobot Mimicons and I agree with SKowl! But these Mimicons look good to me too.

I like this set very much. Overbite's hind legs are backwards on the back of the card, which is weird. Snarl reminds me of a Battle Beasts Chariot, which is awesome.

Does anybody else think Snarl (the tiger) looks alot like the Fuzor Bantor?

I mean really, the resemblance is striking...

No SKowl, the resemblance is not striking.

Wow, these are impressive for Mini-Cons!

In my opinion, Overbite could easily pass as Ravage.

I would love to see a voyager size beastformer that uses this minicon's design, colors, and transformation as the base. Call him Ravage or Razorclaw, it doesn't matter...but the idea of having the head and neck split into the two arms in the robot mode is definitely a welcome idea as it seems to contribute wonderfully to a proportional body, which is often lacking in the beast tfs.
