'''Makeshift''' is a member of the [[Safeguard Team]]. She's one smart Mini-Con and quite skilled as well. Makeshift is also decently fast, all of which is good for her really, since her durabillity isn't exactly anything to write home about. <ref>Makeshift's single-carded [[Tech Spec]]s.</ref>

*'''Mini-Con 12-Pack''' (Multi-pack, 2008)
*''Series:'' Armada Series
: Makeshift is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Oil Slick (Classics)|Oil Slick]], transforming into muscle car with elements of a Mustang. Her robot-mode "hands" (actually a knife and a pincer-like claw) can be deployed out of the grill of her car mode.

:As packaged and depicted in official photography, Makeshift's sole [[Powerlinx]] socket is inaccessible in vehicle mode, only appearing when her lower body is rotated into position in robot mode. The apparent reversal is at odds with the design of her mold-mate Oil Slick (as well as Makeshift's own instructions), suggesting that the figure may have been mis-assembled at an early stage in production. The ball-jointed legs are easily swapped, matching the two figures more closely.

: She was originally only available as part of a K-Mart [[exclusive]] Mini-Con 12-pack with [[Backstop (Universe)|Backstop]], [[Blight (Universe)|Blight]], [[Bodyblock]], [[Boltflash]], [[Brimstone (Universe)|Brimstone]], [[Cloudraker (Universe)|Cloudraker]], [[Flatfoot]], [[Heavytread (Universe)|Heavytread]], [[Knockdown (Universe)|Knockdown]], [[Skyhammer (Universe)|Skyhammer]], and [[Suppressor (Universe)|Suppressor]].

: This mold was also used to make [[Iron Claw]].

*'''Makeshift''' (Mini-Con, 2009)

: Makeshift was also sold on an individual card through discount store chains like Big Lots! in the US. This version is identical to the multi-pack release, except that at least some samples display correct assembly in-package.

*'''Makeshift''' (Mini-Con, 2010)

: In the UK, all twelve Mini-Cons from the original "Mini-Con Class 12 Pack" set were released in individual [[Blindpacking|blind-pack]]ed bags with "[[energon fizzy sweets]]" candies, distributed by [[The Little Factory Ltd]]. This version of Makeshift is actually a new tooling with numerous tiny differences from the original (and generally less crisp molding), but is functionally the same toy.

[[Image:Kmart suppressor toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Colonel Mustard, with the lead pipe, in the library.]]

'''Suppressor''' is no doubt the most powerful member of the [[Ransack Team]]. While she's not quite as skillful as [[Blight (Universe)|Blight]] or as strong as [[Brimstone (Universe)|Brimstone]], she matches or outclasses her teammates in nearly all other areas. It wouldn't be surprising if Suppressor is in fact the leader of the team, but this is unconfirmed. If she's not, she probably should be. <ref>Suppressor's single-carded [[Tech Spec]]s.</ref>
