Shifting subjects, I-QUEUE reviews over the Mini-Cons, a race of diminutive Transformers. Mini-Cons have the ability to powerlinx with larger robots, temporarily reformatting their bodies to give them new weapons and abilities. Because of this, the Decepticons are eager to enslave the Mini-Cons for their own purposes, and several Mini-Con leaders have aligned themselves with the Autobots to free their brethren.

Notes

Transformers references

• The first question goes over the events of issue #52-53 of the Marvel The Transformers comic, and is illustrated using the cover of that issue. The correct answer is B, as seen in issue #53.
• The second question's correct answer is D, the Monsterbots, as seen in The Headmasters episode "Rebellion on Planet Beast". The question is illustrated with the Monkey Beastformer child seen in that answer. Other options include the Maximals, the good faction from the Beast Era; the Dinobots, the go-to group of Autobot powerhouses; and the Primitives, the designation given to animal-based Transformers in The Transformers episode, "Call of the Primitives".
• The third question goes over events from The Transformers episode Chaos. Kup encountered Chaos , an Ick-Yak (who is used to illustrate this question), and several Shrikebats in that episode. The correct answer and the odd one out is Kodu Ri, a piece of Zamojin technology seen in The Transformers episode "The Face of the Nijika".
