Does any body know how to get minicons in this game? I have not been able to figure out how.

You cant, they're a left over from some of OS's earlier experiments.

Minicons don't exist in this version of the game. You'll have to wait till HMW v2 comes out. And, even I don't know how they'll play into it yet, so we'll all just have to wait and see.

They were available for a short time in the game but they along with other things caused some problems so they were removed.

You used to have to purchase them after winning a supply via missions, but as stated above, too many issues crept up and they were removed. Probably for the better. Unknown if they will return.

The Masters (Head, Target, Power/God) > Minicons.

I read a post from someone in the TF Toys forum where they said that Universe Cyclonus' minicon Nightstick looked really cool. I almost burst a blood vessel in my head from the rage building.

But isnt universe Cyclonus's partner technically a minicon anyway?

I mean, yeah, sure, we all know he's a target master, but as far as that releise is concerned, he is a minicon.

Nope. No powerlinxing, no minicon backstory, specifically named for the originsl targetmaster. He's no more a minicon than Shotbomber or Spinner are.

They're all minicons to.

Infact.

So are you.

Cassettes.

Cassettes?!? They dont even have tactics!

Better than the x-masters and minicons who dont even appear in the game.

And they got reclassified as Gadgets so do have a tactic. :-B

Two Micromasters once beat the **** out of Shockwave and Blitzwing at the same time. I'm going to have to assume that Micromasters pwn Cassettes Pyschout.

NEVER! Frenzy and Rumble would bust those gobots up so bad they'd need a GPS to find their own asses! :twisted:

Cassette's tend to hide in the chests of Blaster and Soundwave.

Mini-Con's tend to need protection of bigger bots.

Target/Head/Powermasters don't do **** without a bigger bot.

Micromasters have their own freaking bases! What do Rumble and Frenzy have huh? Oh yeah, a CHEST CAVITY!

by **neliz** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 4:12 am

even with space for two cassettes so they can bode ball up and gank in the wonderous loving chest of daddybot/soundwave.

Alts in HMW for a start. :lol:

Plus they get to snooze all day and only have to work once a week, and then that stuff like, I dunno... DESTROYING HOOVER DAMN or TRASHING DEVASTATOR!

Oh, and thanks to Sustain's awesomeness for the pic, they can also do this...

Hope she don't mind me using it.

If this is the last thing a cassette sees before he bunks down in Soudwave's chest* for the night, i'm pretty sure they wont mind too much... :lol:

*No point making the Dynamax joke, no one will get it now. Boo!!

by **Loki God Of Mischief** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 5:51 pm

Oh no one's saying some Cassettecons aren't bad asses. But some Micro masters can beat Rumble and Frenzy hands down.

News Credits: 42 · by **Psychout** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 6:15 pm

Not. A. Chance.
Would be a hell of a fight though. Until fenzy annihilated the lot of them...

Time to raid the IDW boards and demand a Cassette vs. Micromaster comic!

by **Loki God Of Mischief** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 7:47 pm

They're all the same size. Micromasters were about 7 feet tall and so were Rumble and Frenzy. That means that's roughly how tall Squawkbox would be. The animal form Cassettecons would be slightly smaller except sometimes when they're not. But the Micromasters outnumber the Cassettes. By a lot. Even if they team up with the Autobot Cassettes they're still outnumbered. By a lot.

The Micromasters were almost a subrace. The Cassettes were just sub-groups. No way they'd beat the Micromasters. The sheer numbers alone guarantee that.

This is a silly conversation.

The G1 trainbots would **** all over the lot of them. Just cuase they're that awesome.

by **Loki God Of Mischief** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 9:14 pm

Yes they're so awesome that most people have never heard of them. And that they're only appearances in any work of fiction were brief cameos in the Japanese Headmasters series.

News Credits: 1 · by **Jeep?** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 9:20 pm

And a few cameos in panels of the Dreamwave comics...
If we're talking sheer badassery, the Decepticon Pretenders win hands down. And, in the case of Octopunch, tentacles down.

News Credits: 1 · by **Redimus** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 9:22 pm

Pfft, cuase you know, the Micromasters were so overused in the cartoons!

And the pretenders were rubbish. And always will be. I mean, come on, they got beaten up by tiny little headmasters, controled by particularly dim kids.
