				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.

				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.

				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.

				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!

Alts in HMW for a start.  
 
 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...

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

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

				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!

				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. 
 http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Micromasterhttp://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Dece ... i-Cassettehttp://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Auto ... i-CassetteThe Micromasters were almost a subrace. The Cassettes were just sub-groups. No way they'd beat the Micromasters. The sheer numbers alone guarantee that.

				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.

				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.

				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.
