I liked seeing who my TF was going to pass next on the Highscore page without going to the high score chart. But if it has to go at least we still have the rank.

Agreed. Minicons are cool (I guess), but I don't want to lose the functionality we had with the high scores to make room for them. The links on the character page was the fastest way to find your character's spot, and who was above and below.

yeah, I definitely look at those ranks more alot more than anything else on those pages...taking the stats off those pages would be nice...or perhaps making everything clickably expandable!!!

Okay, this should be interesting. I gather this isn't active yet, though I can't really tell with half my teams in missions and the other half in the CR.

I've never cared for them either, along with the Micromasters from G1 as well..... Always thought it was a dumb idea.

I don't think so. I think it's always been an idea, but was never implemented.

The idea is interesting in that we get boosts to our characters, but "minicons" have the offending odor of an "inferior species" of Transformers...

Does Cybertron have an ACLU to stand up for Minicon rights? :))
