No, just secretaries.

This can't be 12 Minicons per robot, right? It's gotta be per team. I'm not too familiar with canon Minicons (except that they talk like R2D2) but can a TF link with more than one Minicon at any time?

The cover to Armada #2 had Megatron linked to about 8. So, yes, in theory they can link to as many as they like and can fit.

In the comics they actually couldn't. Megatron tried linking Cyclonus to the entire Destruction Team (3 minicons) at once, and it drove him mad. Megatron's solution then was the Skysaber - the power of three minicons at once without the messy powerlinking issue.

In the Videogame however, you could link with up to four minicons at once, and with the toys it depended on the figure, but I think all of them could link with atleast two at a time.

Don't know about the cartoon.

As far as I know, in the cartoon every Transformer had a Minicon partner. Or at least all the main characters did.

I thought they drove him crazy because the Demolition Team took off the limiters that restricted how much power they could give to the one they were linked to.

Don't think they ever used Minicons in the cartoon for more that activating their main gimmick, so that's only ever 1 at the time.

So, is there any indication on when the minicon feature will be enabled? Or is this just a test run to see if the minicon slot menu works?

When V2 is enabled, then we will have the chance to fight for them. Until then, we just get to admire the shiny new tables :HALUC:
