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. Mini-Cons have different types of robot modes, with humanoids being the most common.

Animalistic Mini-Cons also exist, with Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Sundor, Aerobolt, Garboil, and Squawktalk being avian-like; Ravage, Steeljaw, Stripes, Howlback, and Glit being feline-like; Ramhorn being rhinoceros-like; Ratbat, Wingthing, and Psychobat being bat-like; Slicedice and Forth being reptilians; Servo and Sawback being canine-like; Beastbox, Axiom, and Theorem being simian-like; Dragonus, Hammer, and Windra being draconic; Anvil and Barithunder being gargoyle-like; and Back, Sandsting, and Ironjam being insectoids.

Additionally, there exist dinosaurian Mini-Cons, with Dile/Dairu and Uriad being Iguanodons, Zaur/Zauru and Uruaz being Apatosauruses, Overkill being a Ceratosaur, Slugfest being a Stegosaurus, Graphy being a Pteranodon, Noise being a Allosaurus, Velocirazor being a Velociraptor, and Tricerashot being a Triceratops.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
