'''Minitron''' is a tiny [[Cyber-tick]] with the ability to attach himself to other [[Cybertronian]]s and control them.
Despite his tiny size, '''Minitron''' (aka '''Minimus Ambus''') is an incredibly dangerous Decepticon. Once this [[cyber-tick]] latches on to a larger bot's armor, he can almost instantly take direct control of their bodies, even talking through them. Particularly strong-willed individuals may be able to resist ''some'' of his commands, but it's a major struggle. Thankfully, Minitron isn't terribly bright or creative, and without a larger host bot, he's absolutely ''nothing'' in direct combat.

"You have bested my mind-control! But can you withstand the dark power...of HIDING!"

Despite his tiny size, Minitron (aka Minimus Ambus) is an incredibly dangerous Decepticon. Once this cyber-tick latches on to a larger bot's armor, he can almost instantly take direct control of their bodies, even talking through them. Particularly strong-willed individuals may be able to resist some of his commands, but it's a major struggle. Thankfully, Minitron isn't terribly bright or creative, and without a larger host bot, he's absolutely nothing in direct combat.

One of the prisoners aboard the Alchemor, Minitron was freed when the ship crashed on Earth. Minitron worked with Steeljaw, and attached himself to Grimlock, controlling him so that he would free Decepticon prisoners that the Autobots had captured. Under Minitron's control, Grimlock attacked the Autobots before leaving with the stasis pod containing the Decepticon prisoner Underbite. Minitron and Grimlock returned to Steeljaw at the Crown River Dam, where they delivered Underbite's stasis pod to him, and were subsequently attacked by Bumblebee's Autobots. Although Grimlock was able to hold his own against them at first, the Autobots were eventually able to bring him down and tie him up. After being discovered on Grimlock by the Autobots, Minitron tried to flee, first by taking control of Bumblebee, then Strongarm, before attempting to return to Grimlock, at which point the Dinobot captured him, and he was placed in an adorably tiny stasis pod.
