The Exdimensions (エクスディメンションズ Ekusudimenshonzu) are a group of Mini-Cons hailing from a world parallel to the MD World. They look and are named identically to their counterparts save their color schemes.
Toys
[edit]Legends of the Microns
[edit]The Exdimensions are a series of redecos of various Mini-Con Teams released by Takara. These redecos were more limited than the original color schemes, but were still standard retail-sale items (with one exception).
Of the first eleven Mini-Con Team mold-sets, all but one—the Street Speed Mini-Con Team—got the Exdimensions treatment. Nine of those teams were released close to the originals; the packaging was almost wholly unchanged; only the cardboard cardfront behind the plastic bubble reflected the change by adding "Exdimensions" to the text and giving the Team a new ID number. The final Team, the Street Action Mini-Con Team, was available only as part of the Toys"R"Us exclusive "Magna Convoy DX set" multi-pack.

Notes
[edit]- Fictional information on the Exdimensions can only be found in Legends of the Microns Year Book 2003, which explains "Exdimensions" as a coined term to indicate residents of another dimension (別次元の住人)—the Armada Mini-Cons of a "parallel world" to the cartoon. (Think "extraterrestrial".) A more mature story of the Autobot/Decepticon conflict aimed at older children and serialized in some form, such as magazines, was planned to feature the Exdimensions, but this was cancelled for various reasons (and likely replaced by Linkage).
- In Western fandom, "Exdimensions" was misinterpreted as "X-Dimension", a location in itself. This concept would find fictional life in venues like Ask Vector Prime, which also created new identities for the "X-Dimension Mini-Cons" (using the Mini-Cons' Japanese names but creating new team names).
