Mini...cons?

Postby WasPWNator » Tue Jul 19, 2011 4:55 pm

Motto: "Motto? I don't know, probably something about molecular structure..."
Weapon: Liquid Flame-Thrower
Was there a G1 Decepticon counterpart to the minibots (or minicars or whatever they're supposed to be called)? Apart from those repainted Go-bot thingies (Bad Boy is awesome, he should totally get a new figure - Classics Powerglide repaint anyone?), were there smaller Decepticon figures in the same price and size range as the minibots would have been in the G1 toyline?

Motto: "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
Unlike the later years the first and second year releases weren't "paired off", each faction had its own distinct subgroups. So no, the Minibots had no Decepticon counterparts. The pairing started in 1986 with the Scramble City combiners, but a rivalry of some sorts was already made in the cartoon a year prior, with the Dinobots vs. the Constructicons, their combined form Devastator to be exact.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl

Motto: "It doesn't matter if the glass is half full or half empty, only that you work to make it full."
Weapon: Particle Beam Cannon
The absolute closest equivalent to the minibots, at least until the Micromasters came out, were the Cassetticons.

I honestly believed all minicons were decepticons when I first heard of Armada.
