This article is about a character or concept which lacks any official name or designation. |
- The unnamed Mini-Con trio were to have been (Autobot-allied?) characters from the Dark of the Moon portion of the live-action film continuity family.
The "unnamed Mini-Con trio" are three Mini-Cons. Uh, that's about it.

[edit]- ??? (Multi-pack,
2011)
- In early February 2011,[1] U.S.-based online retailer BigBadToyStore solicited a three-pack of exclusive redecos of the Transformers: Classics Mini-Cons Divebomb the helicopter, Dirt Rocket the motorbike, and Steel Wind the jet as a three-pack to be released in the second quarter of 2011. However, in early March,[2] Hasbro informed BBTS and EE that they had canceled the toys, without any packaging or name trademarks ever being revealed. Some prototype samples have appeared on the secondary market over the years, but what line this trio would have been branded as remains unknown.
- Barely visible in the stock photography, the A-10 Thunderbolt Mini-Con appears to have NEST insignia on its wings, so we can assume these were probably intended as live-action film series characters. It is also worth noting that concurrently, Hasbro did release four other Classics-molded Mini-Cons as part of the Dark of the Moon toyline, also exclusive to BBTS, Entertainment Earth, and "market six" retailers—though these Dinobot-colored characters were packaged individually. The deco artist of the Dinobot-themed Mini-Cons, Andrew Scribner, has confirmed that he didn't work on this trio, so we don't even know who was responsible for these colour schemes!
