:''Makeshift is an [[Autobot]]-allied [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Armada (franchise)|Armada]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]] (via the [[Universe (2008 franchise)|2008 Univese line]]).''<br />

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

*'''Mini-Con 12-Pack''' (Multi-pack, 2008)<br />
<br />
: Makeshift is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Oil Slick (Classics)|Oil Slick]], transforming into muscle car with elements of a Mustang. His robot-mode "hands" (actually a knife and a pincer-like claw) can be deployed out of the grill of his car mode.<br />
<br />
: He 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]].<br />
<br />
: This mold was also used to make [[Iron Claw]].<br />

*'''Makeshift''' (Mini-Con, 2009)<br />
<br />
: 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.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
* As packaged and depicted in official photography, Makeshift's sole [[Powerlinx]] socket is inaccessible in vehicle mode, only appearing when his lower body is rotated into position in robot mode. The apparent reversal is at odds with the design of his 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.<br />
