Mini-Con

Mini-Cons are a species or culture of small-sized Cybertronian-like beings sometimes from the planet Prion.

Anatomy
Mini-Cons share a similar biology to other Cybertronians, especially Micromasters. However, Mini-Cons are naturally diminutive and overflow with energy. While most Mini-Cons are humanoid in robot mode, several are animalistic.

Mini-Cassettes
Mini-Cassettes (also known as Cassette Warriors, Infiltration Troopers, or simply Cassettes) are Mini-Cons with audio cassette alternate modes. They generally can fit into the chest compartments of Cybertronians such as Soundwave and Blaster.

Cassettes have different types of robot modes, with the most common ones being humanoids, condors, and jaguars. For example, Rumble, Frenzy, Rewind, Eject, Rosanna, Flip Sides, Enemy, and Playback are humanoid Cassettes; Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Sundor, and Garboil are condor Cassettes; and Ravage, Stripes, Howlback, and Glit are jaguar Cassettes.

There also exist dinosaurian Cassettes, with Dile/Dairu and Uriad both being Iguanodons, Zaur/Zauru and Uruaz both being Apatosauruses, Overkill being a Ceratosaur, Slugfest being a Stegosaurus, Graphy being a Pteranodon, and Noise being a Allosaurus.

Other types of Cassettes include lions such as Steeljaw, rhinoceros such as Rhamnorn, bats such as Ratbat and Wingthing, eagles such as Squawktalk, and gorillas such as Beastbox.

Buzzsaws
Buzzsaws are Mini-Cons from the Uniend cluster that transform into buzzsaw-like objects that can attach to larger Cybertronians. These Mini-Cons are commonly aligned with the Autobots.

Torpedoes
Torpedoes are Mini-Cons from the Uniend cluster that transform into torpedoe-like objects that can attach to larger Cybertronians. These Mini-Cons are commonly aligned with the Decepticons.

Activators
Activators are genetically engineered Mini-Cons from the Uniend cluster that can combine with larger Cybertronians in vehicle mode, unlocking a vehicular power-up mode.

Caretakers
Caretakers are mass-produced Mini-Cons from the Uniend cluster that transform into orange drilling machines and have wheels in place of feet. They function as either drones or prison guards.

Cyclones
Cyclones are Mini-Cons from the Uniend cluster that can transform into spheres with hidden blaster cannons that can attach to larger Cybertronians. These Cyclones are generally unaligned, though many have joined the Autobots and Decepticons.

Weaponizers
Weaponizers are genetically modified Mini-Cons from the Uniend cluster that transform into weapons, much like Targetmasters and Battle Masters.

Powers and abilities
Most Mini-Cons possess the ability to impart a portion of this power on larger Cybertronians, granting them extra abilities or greatly increasing their strength through a process known as Powerlinxing.

Weaponizer Mini-Cons can remotely control the bodies of larger Cybertronians, even while they are unconscious.

Culture and society
Somewhat feral and absolutely capricious in personality, Cyclone Mini-Cons are known for being absolute terrors when angry or threatened. They have simple wants and are easily entertained with either mean-spirited pranks or straight-up attacks on each other out of pure boredom.

Religion
Mini-Cons are associated with Micronus Prime.
