			: US [[Toys"R"Us]] stores had special bonus pack Super-Con (Deluxe) toys, which came with a single bonus Mini-Con attached to the card over their sticker, for ''less'' than the price of a normal Super-Con during their post-[[Thanksgiving]] [[Black Friday (event)\|Black Friday]] sale. Each of the Adventure Team Mini-Cons could come packaged with either [[Cyclonus (Armada)#Powerlinx\|Powerlinx Cyclonus]] or [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#ArDxPx\|Powerlinx Hot Shot]].

	: ~~In November of 2003, US~~ [[~~Toys"R"Us~~]] ~~stores had special bonus pack Super-Con (Deluxe) toys~~, ~~which came with~~ a ~~single bonus Mini-Con attached to the card over their sticker, for '~~'~~less~~'' ~~than the price as a normal Super-Con during Toys"R"Us~~' ~~post~~-~~Thanksgiving-day sale~~. ~~Each~~ of the ~~Adventure Team Mini-Cons could come packaged with either~~ [[~~Cyclonus~~ (Armada)\|~~Powerlinx Cyclonus~~]] or [[~~Hot Shot~~ (Armada)\|~~Powerlinx Hot Shot~~]].		: For [[Kmart]]'s 2003 Black Friday sales, they offered a ''massive'' multi-pack of toys. The only truly exclusive item was a gold version of [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#MatrixMultipack\|Super Base Optimus Prime]]; the rest are unchanged versions of [[Sparkplug (Armada)#Toys\|Sparkplug]], [[Jetfire (Armada)#Toys\|Jetfire]] and [[Comettor (Armada)#Toys\|Comettor]], the Adventure Mini-Con Team, and (inexplicably) [[Longarm (Armada)#Toys\|Longarm]].

	~~[[Prototype\|Test shots]] of a recolored~~ Adventure Team ~~have surfaced on [[Transformers: Armada (toyline)\|Unicron Battles]] cards. Presumably, [[Hasbro]] intended to release a [[Variant\|running change]] redeco of the team during~~ ''~~Armada~~'', but cancelled the plans. It is unknown if the test-shot deco is actually the final planned version, as the paint applications on the test-shots are completely unchanged, not even in new colors. This version of Ransack replaced the dark green with light tan plastic.		*'''Adventure Mini-Con Team''' (<strike>2004</strike>)

			: Test-shots of a slightly-altered Adventure Team have popped up from various sources. It's possible this was intended to be a mid-series deco-change for the team, though it looks unfinished at best. The team has ''exactly'' the same [[Paint operation\|paint application]] layouts in exactly the same ''colors'' as the original. This version of Ransack replaced the dark green with light tan plastic.

	:Originally available only in the Adventure Team 3-pack, Ransack transforms into a pickup truck of undetermined model with oversized off-road tires and rollbar. He has a working winch mechanism connected to a [[Retractable string gimmick\|spool and gear system]] in his torso; the cable, once pulled out, can be retracted by rolling Ransack in vehicle mode, or by attaching him to the gear system on the ''Armada'' [[Cyclonus (Armada)\|Cyclonus]] mold. Unfortunately, playing with the winch with any level of zeal is likely to break the (rather shoddily-woven) cable. The circle where you plug into a peg on larger Transformers is on his spare tire, so he always looks weird when attempting to 'powerlinx' him to a larger 'bot.		:Originally available only in the Adventure Team 3-pack, Ransack transforms into a pickup truck of undetermined model with oversized off-road tires and rollbar.
