As in the rotors being on the bots back, the arms also being the landing skis, and the cockpit also being the head? That what I was thinking myself seeing that, "that reminds me of Blades."
I never really felt like Mini-con teams had to go together. I mean sure they're sold together but except for Perceptor and the Weapon combiners, they really don't interact together at all. Though there was also one team that were all specifically designed to work with Armada Cyclonus. There's a gear clipping system that only exists on that figure which the Mini-con he came with also uses. Though his personal Mini-con is more integrated into the Helicopter mode while the other three are just slapped on there.
Two of them. Both the Adventure and Destruction Mini-Con teams don't work that well with Cyclonus from what I heard. And would you say the same thing about Micromasters? They don't do much on their own, but they're solid units when together. It's possibly because of the theme they had.
When I was younger I used to think the Mini-Con symbol was supposed to be a Y. And I never understood why... until I read something mention the stylized M.
+LA W The whole premise of "Robowheels" was essentially Skateboarding Robots that so happened to be cars... Yeah it ripped off basically all of the Transformers, but the toys were cool, and it led me to Transformers proper, still hilarious though (Robo-wheels that is... Even the title sounds absurd :p )
In the show the humans ride in the minicons so that is why they have cockpits. Even though they only fit one person the vechiles seem pretty big for minicons.
I used to have all three of these guys. Unfortunately, Reverb's arm broke off... I managed to get by using the Downshift Mini-Con that came bundled with my (first) Thundercracker and a healthy dose of imagination, but after ten years, I realize it's not the same... I guess he's still hostage to Starscream.
In the anime, the minicons are actually way bigger than the humans. And They have cockpits because they scanned human vehicles before coming to Earth so they could “blend in”
Jolt is the kid appeal character in Cybertron, since Hot Shot has matured more via Energon...so he grows when transforming to allow Coby, Lori and Bud to fly inside him...
6:49 In the show he mass shifts while transforming so humans fit into the cockpit. And he has an Earth alt mode. And if he was an RC helicopter why not have a cockpit? Adds to the realism ;) 13:37 I get an Ultra Magnus vipe from him.
@@TJOmega alright then :) but there is an easy fix for the star saber and thats a little guy called the dark saber a decepticon repaint of the starsaber with no clear plastic, completely solid
@@TJOmega i only ask because (and if im standing alone on this that is fine) the minicons were my favorite part of the unicron trilogy, especially the vs packs from cybertron
Yes, that type of race car is often called a LeMans car. Specifically, looks to me like a Toyota GT-One. Also, these guys remind me of the GoBot Renegades Jeeper Creeper, Cop-Tur, and Crasher.
Well with in the show with Jolt they did some re-sizing magic for him when he transformed it made him bigger and people could ride in him. Also, do you think you can do any of the combiner weapon teams from armada?
+Jetfire48 Often Lori rode in Hop/Jolt whilst Bud & Coby rode in Blit/Six-Speed & Bumper/Reverb (yes, I put the Galaxy Force names first, as those are the ones easier for me to recall when typing) whilst doing things such as the search for Atlantis. So whilst in robot mode the Minicons were about the size of an average adult human (maybe a bit taller) at the head, transformed into vehicles they had to be able to fit at least ONE person inside them comfortably meaning they had to either grow a bit when becoming vehicles or shrink a bit when as robots to fit inside an average 3m (10ft) tall room.
Austin Bitikofer their mass shifting technology allows them to be realistic scale in vehicle mode for the purpose of disguise, so it makes perfect sense to me.
Reverb is one of my favorite minicons ever. I like that Cybertron just gave us another minicon team or two just for the fun of it.
They're all fun in their own way.
13:05 Describes RID Strongarm perfectly.
Rescue Bots Blades may have taken some design cues from Cybertron Jolt...
As in the rotors being on the bots back, the arms also being the landing skis, and the cockpit also being the head? That what I was thinking myself seeing that, "that reminds me of Blades."
Nice review! My favorite minicon team is the Aerial Defense aka Star Saber team. Vehicles look great and they combine to form a neat sword.
I have no idea why but Sixspeed's color scheme makes me crazy thirsty for Mt. Dew
Same shade of green, methinks.
Same
I got more of a Sprite vibe from Sixspeed then a Mt. Dew vibe.
I officially call the blue truck "Minimus Prime"!
Autobot Roller

You were right the first time, LeMans.
wassup longarm. hows cybertron?
looks like a mid 2000s oreca lmp2 car, but the lamps say riley lmp2
Speaking of minicon teams, will you ever review the minicon assault team that combines into Centuritron?
He does mention them in the Generations Armada Starscream review...
I remember having this as a kid. Omg the memories
When I was younger I used to think the Mini-Con symbol was supposed to be a Y. And I never understood why... until I read something mention the stylized M.
I always called the Decepticons the "Megabots" for whatever reason. Thankfully a pack-in comic cleared that up.
+LA W well, Hotwheels "Robowheels" toyline good guys were the "Positrons" and the bad guys were the "Negabots" so, that's a possible origin!
+drakesterX I was not even aware of that. I just had the Hot Wheels cars themselves; never the crazy and possibly bullshit gimmicks.
+LA W The whole premise of "Robowheels" was essentially Skateboarding Robots that so happened to be cars... Yeah it ripped off basically all of the Transformers, but the toys were cool, and it led me to Transformers proper, still hilarious though (Robo-wheels that is... Even the title sounds absurd :p )
+drakesterX Pretty much. I never thought that the line had opposing factions.
If anything, I'll just stick with Optimus Prime and co.
The minicon vehicles were actually big enough for the human kids in the show, size warping like g1 Megatron ig
love the cybertron toyline I always wanted the Megatron but never got one
I love that pickup truck's robot mode. Super heroic proportions.
Jolt actually mass-shifts in the anime. He goes from a robot barely taller than a human to a full-size small helicopter.
the blue one reminds me of ultra magnus
+BLOCKFONE Optimus Minor?
+LA W no g1 ultra magnus from the movie I think its just the head sculpt
+BLOCKFONE I know. I thought maybe Reverb would be Optimus Minor.
I had a repaint of Jolt!...Somewhere. He was yellow and black, and had blue for the windshield. Remember someone like that?
Sam Butler Yeah, his name is Swashplate
The Mini-Cons grow when transformed so the humans can ride them...
the humans actualy fit inside of jolt in the show, bigger on the inside
In the show the humans ride in the minicons so that is why they have cockpits. Even though they only fit one person the vechiles seem pretty big for minicons.
Amazing zoolander reference, these were my favorite minicons for sure
Considering I’ve had my Sixspeed since the days of the show, and he’s always been, and very much still is, my favorite of the three, he’s VERY loose.
I have the hunt for the deception repaints and I love them
Jolt is the size of a human in robot form, and yet one can ride inside him in chopper form. I remember that from the show.
I used to have all three of these guys. Unfortunately, Reverb's arm broke off... I managed to get by using the Downshift Mini-Con that came bundled with my (first) Thundercracker and a healthy dose of imagination, but after ten years, I realize it's not the same... I guess he's still hostage to Starscream.
Overall, I like these three. They do their job and do it well. Nice review! :) I hope you do more Minicon teams.
The first episode shows why and how he got a vehicle mode with a cockpit
In the anime, the minicons are actually way bigger than the humans. And They have cockpits because they scanned human vehicles before coming to Earth so they could “blend in”
Jolt is the kid appeal character in Cybertron, since Hot Shot has matured more via Energon...so he grows when transforming to allow Coby, Lori and Bud to fly inside him...

And if he was an RC helicopter why not have a cockpit? Adds to the realism ;)
13:37 I get an Ultra Magnus vipe from him.
Maybe the Best minicon team out there!!!
Six Speed kinda looks like Crasher in vehicle mode, don't you think?
Jolt looks to be a mix between the Aérospatiale SA.319 Alouette III and the SA-318C Alouette II :P
Could Six-Speed be repainted as a custom Crasher? The vehicle mode is similar, as is the transformation...
I had these growing up. Reverb broke, but I still have Six-Speed and Jolt
Core class Recon Team when
I had the clear plastic versions of them
i was expecting those 3 bots that turns into a camera haha
Jolt looks like if Cykill and Copter had a baby.
Funny how you mention giant RC vehicles, given the episode Hidden.
Will you ever review the minicon teams that become the star saber, skyboom shield and requiem blaster?
Likely not, I don't own the Skyboom or Blaster teams anymore and the Star Saber team fell apart thanks to clear plastic.
@@TJOmega alright then :) but there is an easy fix for the star saber and thats a little guy called the dark saber a decepticon repaint of the starsaber with no clear plastic, completely solid
@@TJOmega i only ask because (and if im standing alone on this that is fine) the minicons were my favorite part of the unicron trilogy, especially the vs packs from cybertron
I wish RID 2016 minicons were more like this.
The helicopter looks a bit like a futured up Hughy.
Aren't the jolts from Armada and Cybertron the same character?
ArcanistGambler 1214 Apparently not...
Reverb looks like movie Optimus XD
Can we ge a review of the armada team that combines to preceptor?
I have a repaint remold of that jolt.
Yes, that type of race car is often called a LeMans car. Specifically, looks to me like a Toyota GT-One.
Also, these guys remind me of the GoBot Renegades Jeeper Creeper, Cop-Tur, and Crasher.
Well with in the show with Jolt they did some re-sizing magic for him when he transformed it made him bigger and people could ride in him. Also, do you think you can do any of the combiner weapon teams from armada?
That didn't happen at least So I don't remenber that happening ever
+Jetfire48 Often Lori rode in Hop/Jolt whilst Bud & Coby rode in Blit/Six-Speed & Bumper/Reverb (yes, I put the Galaxy Force names first, as those are the ones easier for me to recall when typing) whilst doing things such as the search for Atlantis.
So whilst in robot mode the Minicons were about the size of an average adult human (maybe a bit taller) at the head, transformed into vehicles they had to be able to fit at least ONE person inside them comfortably meaning they had to either grow a bit when becoming vehicles or shrink a bit when as robots to fit inside an average 3m (10ft) tall room.
+ElNeroDiablo I thought it was Blitz.
LA W The VA's for Galaxy Force say "Buritto" which is Brit/Blit, probably derived from Blitz but there's no "z" sound used in his name when it's said.
The robot modes are the size of humans, but the vehicle mode can fit a human in it
HUH?!
The nostalgia:D
I had this team!
all three figures on this team were repainted I have one of each of their repaints
I had these guys
I'm pretty sure six speed is a 24 hrs race car
I had the clear versions of these ones
I have these minicons. The only one I lost is 6 speed.
jolts body reminds me of gurren lagann's gunman. mostly it looks like gurren body just without the glasses
My gawd people compare everything with/say that something looks like gurren lagann XD
+Jetfire48 it does. the silver is the mouth and the hole from the arm joints are the eyes. that raised bit in the middle also looks like a nose
look at the chest of Reverb, now look at RID2015's Fixit and/or Michelangelo.
Is it just me, or does Jolts torso look like Gurren Lagan a little?
in the show jolt was big enough to carry 2 humans inside of him :|
and was as tall as a human
Jake C yeah weird....i guess when he transformed he just became really condensed
+Crimson Knight he mass shifts like soundwave in g1
Sold over 80 Transformers for only $100 in 2017 Really Regret that now.
In Cybertron people could fit inside their alt modes.... made no sense...
Austin Bitikofer their mass shifting technology allows them to be realistic scale in vehicle mode for the purpose of disguise, so it makes perfect sense to me.
Baby Copter?
I miss Micro Masters. :(
6 speed is a gumpert!!!
I had the bigger version of the helicopter when i was a kid :[
Kind a looks like ultra Magnus
Didn't they all turned into suits for the humans to wear in the Cybertron Series when they went into space or underwater in a few episodes
crosshair's son
jolt is cop-tor, sixspeed is crasher and other is small foot. they are gobot homages
Does anyone else see the face in Jolt's chest?
+Fuzzball629 Hmm... actually I can see that. Saw one in Reverb's chest first.
+Dralcax WITH MY HELI BLADE I WILL SHRED THE HEAVENS
Where are the sunglasses?!
it's a car .....
It's a shrek.....
+Lance Robson It's a drek.
+LA W illuminati confirmed
+Lance Robson Quiet.
clk
um omega the minicons use g1 Soundwave logic
