As Mini-Cons, they each have a [[Powerlinx]] port that allows them to connect to toys with compatible Powerlinx plugs, activating [[gimmick]]s on the larger toys when attached to a "live" plug.

	:The Space Team ~~was first released as a three-pack in the ''~~[[~~Transformers:~~ Armada (~~toyline~~)\|~~Armada~~]]~~'' line~~. ~~The three toys can combine into the Requiem Blaster, which can be held by most Transformers that use 5mm peg~~-~~holes~~, ~~or can be attached via~~ [[Powerlinx]] plugs. The ~~Takara release features slightly darker red plastic~~ than the ~~Hasbro release~~.		: The Space Mini-Con Team ([[Astroscope#Toys\|Astroscope]], [[Payload (Armada)#Toys\|Payload]], and [[Sky Blast (Armada)#Toys\|Skyblast]]) are a trio of tiny robots who turn into tiny space-themed vehicles. As Mini-Cons, they each have a [[Powerlinx]] port that allows them to connect to toys with compatible Powerlinx plugs, activating [[gimmick]]s on the larger toys when attached to a "live" plug. The trio also have more inter-team interactivity than the others: aside from being able to combine to form the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)#Toys\|Requiem Blaster]] super-weapon to be used by larger toys, Sky Blast's vehicle mode is designed to attach to Payload's carrier mode and dock with Astroscope's station mode in ways mimicking the real vehicles.

	:~~The entire team~~ was ~~completely re~~-~~cast as new molds as~~ part of the ~~second~~ wave of [[~~Kabaya~~]]'s [[~~Change Micron~~]] ~~series, individually-available versions of~~ the ~~Team~~.		: This version of the Team was nominally available as a three-pack, sold in third assortment of Mini-Con teams in [[Hasbro]]'s ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)\|Armada]]'' line.
