I second that emotion! :D My favorite mini-cons are the ones with a weapon mode.

Bleh. I liked minicons better back when they were called Targetmasters and Headmasters. I still do like the ones that turn into weapons. But the ones that turn into teeny tiny tanks and copters I just dont care for.

 

Expand the nomination to Headmasters and Targetmasters and Ill give my :thumb.

I vote no, they are th e2nd worst thing to happen to Transformers

 

What's the first, ROTF? :tflaugh

 

I really like Mini-Cons, even the new one that come with the PCC Two packs. Some of those are really nice, so far my favorite (from the PCC line) is Pinpoint from Leadfoot. Both are awesome!

I love them for multiple reasons. Not just because I liked Micromasters (though that was an early reason as to why I liked them), but they manage to homage so many different gimmicks regularly. Then the various different releases (different characters, decos, Countries released in, Special Editions, etc.) make them really fun to collect. The various fictional uses have endeared them to me as well. They just have the it factor for me, something I just can't explain, but man I can't get enough Mini-Cons.

Ok here is my reason but a few first offs

 

First Off, Minicons are not Targetmaster, Headmaster, or Powermaster counterparts, they are nebulans and humans

2nd off Micromasters, they are cool, and do not need to combine with a larger robot for some stupid gimmick

 

Ok on to minicons, they are worthless, no personalities on them, only good for combining with a larger robot for a stupid gimmick, for a series where most of th etoys were a step back and completely crappy.

 

As far as my worst list

 

1) Beast Machines

2) Minicons

3) Energon (Autobot combining)

4) Animated

5) Transformers Prime

6) ROTF (Only thing here was there really was no story just fast paced action for 2 hours)

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
