Land Military Mini-Con Team

The Land Military Mini-Con Team is a Mini-Con team from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Only TWO THINGS come from Iacon, boy!!!

The Land Military Team might just be the toughest bunch of roughnecks the Mini-Cons ever produced. Each one is a top-notch soldier with incredible firepower at their disposal, to say nothing of their wealth of military experience and tactical know-how. Luckily for the Autobots, the Land Military Team is mainly interested in freeing their people from Decepticon tyranny!

The Land Military Mini-Con Team consists of…

A truck, a carrier and a tank walk into a bar...

The fragment of the Mini-Con ship that contained the Land Military Team was recovered from under a casino building site in Vegas in the 1950s. The Extra-Terrestrial Response Division took them to Area 54 to test their capabilities as potential weapons, using inhibitor clamps to turn off their higher brain functions and prevent them from attacking humans. Some hours after testing, the team escaped the facility to the town of Stillwater, where they relayed a locator code message to the local resident Amos Hume, but were swiftly recaptured. Blast from the Past! Years later, information of their capture was discovered by the Air Defence Team, who decided to search for them. We Are Not Alone! In 2003, upon hearing about the upcoming shutdown of the ERTD, Quint decided to auction off the Land Military Team for at least 3 billion dollars, but the sale was interrupted by the sudden reawakening of the team and the arrival of the Air Defence Team to the rescue. Sale of the Century!

Cartoon continuity

Armada cartoon

Six wheels of justice.

The Land Military Team sent a signal to the Mini-Cons on Earth on the behest of Megatron to lead the Autobots into a trap. The Autobots chased the team and the Decepticons, warping around Earth until finally coming to a desert. They fired upon Optimus Prime, but eventually attacked Megatron and joined up with the Autobots. Vow
