'''Deployers''' are [[Transformer]]s that have chosen to form a partnership with one or more [[Mini-Con]]s. The term can also refer to the Mini-Cons they partner with.


'''Deployers''' are [[Transformer]]s that have chosen to form a partnership with one or more [[Mini-Con]]s. Instead of transforming into vehicles or machinery, Mini-Con Deployers instead become additional armor or accessories for their [[bulk]] partners, and remain attached until summoned into action. The advantages that this symbiosis confers are manifold: the full-sized Transformers gain an extra pair of hands, while Mini-Cons benefit from the additional armor and protection that their partners afford.

Most Transformers only pair up with one or two Mini-Cons, although [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] has partnered with at least four at a time.

This article is about the subgroup of Mini-Cons and their partners. For the drones from Beast Machines, see Deployer (BM).
Axiom! Theorem! I choose you!

Deployers are Transformers that have chosen to form a partnership with one or more Mini-Cons. The term can also refer to the Mini-Cons they partner with.

Instead of transforming into vehicles or machinery, Mini-Con Deployers instead become additional armor or accessories for Bulk partners and remain attached until summoned into action. The advantages that this symbiosis confers are manifold: the full-sized Transformers gain an extra pair of hands while Mini-Cons benefit from the additional armor and protection that their partners afford.

Most Transformers only pair up with one or two Mini-Cons, although Soundwave has partnered with at least four at a time.
