Mini-Con

Mini-Cons are a subspecies (or culture) of small-sized Cybertronian-like beings commonly found on Cybertron, though they also inhabit a variety of other colony worlds such as Prion, Gigantion, Animatron, and Velocitron.

Anatomy
Mini-Cons share a similar biology to other Cybertronians, especially Micromasters and Mini-Cassettes. However, Mini-Cons are naturally diminutive and overflow with energy. Mini-Cons are generally humanoid, though different types of animalistic robot modes also exist.

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. These mystical abilities are often connected to the influence of various godly beings.

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

Culture and society
Regardless of their origins, a Mini-Con's abilities make them useful allies and valuable partners—valuable to the point where different factions have come into conflict over these deceptively powerful beings.

Religion
Mini-Cons are associated with either Micronus Prime, the Last Autobot, or even Unicron.
