I'm looking for a TF that was mostly red and came in a box with 5+ minicons, I dont think it was Optimus. Im pretty sure it was an autobot, saw it years ago, been looking for it since. I think it MAY have been in Armada or Energon series about 2003-2004 or so. I dont know its name, I could find out what one it was if I did lol.

Does anyone know what one im talking about?

The only thing I can think of is that you might have seen an Overload in a special pack or something. If that's not it, however; I recommend using our Armada and Energon galleries to search for a match

The only release with 5 Mini-Con that I could think of, is a Japanese one called Magna Convoy DX set, one that is not covered by our galleries:

In addition to Corona Sparkplug/Spark Prime and Rollout/Magnus, the set comes with a redeco of Perceptor/Bumble:

... making 5 Mini-Cons in total.

I don't think it was in a set like that, that was only released in Japan not Australia. Overload might have been the one, maybe I saw that TF and a set of minicons in a box next to it and my mind combined them together lol.

Thanks for your help.

There were a plethora of releases that were "bonus" style packs where Mini-cons were repacked or taped on to the other toys. Likely something like this:

One nice thing about these (in hindsight) is that the toys in the bonus bubbles are unchanged from their other releases.

Only other things coming to mind are Universe releases like Sunstorm and Whirl that came with several extra Mini-cons, but that doesn't fit your description well.

Hope that helps!
