	I've been noticing that the Power Heroes versions of several Minicons have been specifically pointed out as having "no articulation" in their toy descriptions. Is this really something that needs to be pointed out for those toys in particular? So far NONE of the RID Minicon toys I've gotten have any articulation whatsoever besides the limited movement needed to transform. If we're going by the fact that the transformation is manual, it still has a very limited amount of articulation where the one or two parts are hinged together. --[[User:King Starscream\|King Starscream]] ([[User talk:King Starscream\|talk]]) 16:43, 11 October 2016 (EDT)		I've been noticing that the Power Heroes versions of several Minicons have been specifically pointed out as having "no articulation" in their toy descriptions.

What gives? Is this not a similar example to "Dino" vs "Mirage" depending on where it comes from? Even the "Mini-Con" article mentions the "Minicon" spelling for the Aligned continuity family, explicitly pointing out that there is no dash. I'm trying to keep it accurate , so why was it reverted (to M Sipher) and I move for it to be reverted back to how I set it (to the mods). --[[User:Karhukjnsi\|Karhukjnsi]] 20:53, 1 February 2012 (EST)
	: Alex Irvine can't even keep the facts of his own book straight. And we've had many misparsings on official side-stuff for a long time now ("BlackArachnia" from many sources comes to mind immediately). Hasbro also does not have a Trademark for "Minicon", they have "Mini-Con". The original move is jumping the gun. I move for no massive changes to be made until we see how HASBRO is labeling them, and since, well, it looks like Prime will have Mini-Cons in it... --[[User:M Sipher\|M Sipher]] 07:23, 2 February 2012 (EST)		: Alex Irvine can't even keep the facts of his own book straight.

			::Trademarks are absolutely irrelevant to this subject, this wiki has continuously gone with what was officially used until directly proven otherwise. The spelling may have been "Mini-Con" in the past, but seeing as how there has been NOTHING to oppose that, it should be "Minicon" on the various Aligned-based pages until proven otherwise. Even the [[Minicon#Aligned\|Aligned section on the Mini-Con page]] has had the specific mentioning of the "no dash" for a considerable amount of time and I don't see you going after that (or my edits from "The Fallen" to "the Fallen" concerning the Aligned continuity family, for that matter). We have not directly seen anything otherwise that opposes the notion that "Minicon" is the currently standing official spelling for the race of Transformers in the Aligned continuity family. If we do see that "Mini-Con" ends up being officially used on the various products, then the changes can be met as necessary, but we HAVE directly seen "Minicon" be used in the Aligned continuity family. --[[User:Karhukjnsi\|Karhukjnsi]] 15:22, 2 February 2012 (EST)
