[edit]- Dinobots (Mini-Con Team, 2006)
- Sold in the first wave of Classics Mini-Con 3-packs, the Dinobots are a trio of tiny techno-dinos: Knockdown the Triceratops, Swoop the Pteranodon (yes yes we know that's not actually a dinosaur), and Terrorsaur the Tyrannosaurus rex. As Mini-Cons, each one has a "Powerlinx" socket that allows them to attach to larger toys with compatible Powerlinx plugs.
- These molds were later redecoed into multiple different characters, but not always together; see the individual toy entries for more information on those redecoes.
Notes
[edit]- Hacksaw was an original, non-toy character created for the Collector's Club prose story, "The New World". His addition was made for story reasons, as the origin of the Classics Mini-Cons presented in that piece was somewhat incompatible with Classics Swoop being the original Generation 1 Dinobot.
