The Space Mini-Con Team is one of the most sought-after groups of Mini-Cons. Not simply because they are all strong warriors with zero-gravity operational skills, but mainly because the three combine to form the Requiem Blaster, one of the legendary Mini-Con weapons whose destructive power maximums have yet to be calculated.
The Space Mini-Con Team is composed of...
- Astroscope the satellite.
- Payload the rocket-transport truck.
- Sky Blast the rocket.
Fiction
Armada cartoon
While Mini-Cons in general are reluctant to participate in the war between Autobots and Decepticons, the Space Team is particularly averse to fighting. They are acutely aware of the destructive potential of the Requiem Blaster, and spend quite a bit of time running away from both sides, not wanting their power abused.
Blasts or power surges from the Space Team Mini-Cons (individually or collectively) have the peculiar effect of 'shaping' nearby sources of water. The effects include sudden upswells, or in a case where the Requiem Blaster has been fired, a swirling wall of 'standing water' that can hold back the ocean for several minutes after a blast. Desperate
They were later used to kill Smokescreen, and later still they combined with the Star Saber and Skyboom Shield to create the Hydra Cannon.
Toys
Armada
- Space Mini-Con Team (Mini-Cons, 2003)
- Japanese ID number: MM-13
- The Space Team was first released as a three-pack in the Armada line. The three toys can combine into the Requiem Blaster, which can be held by most Transformers that use 5mm peg-holes, or can be attached via Powerlinx plugs.
- The entire team was completely re-cast as new molds as part of the second wave of Kabaya's Change Micron series, individually-available versions of the Team.
- This mold-set was used to make the Deep Space Mini-Con Team.
- X-Dimension Space Micron (Mini-Cons, 2003)
- Japanese ID number: MM-14
- A somewhat more limited-edition -but still regular retail- redeco of the Space Team was released by Takara as part of the X-Dimension Microns. This set uses a primarily green and brown deco, an interestingly ground-based choice for a space-based team.
Energon
- Ultra Magnus (Ultra-Con , 2004)
- The Space Mini-Con Team was redecoed and added to the Energon Ultra Magnus set. The original Hasbro packaging does not reflect this, as the Space Team replaced a planned redeco of the Street Speed Mini-Con Team as the new characters Brakedown, Clocker and Override. Later releases in Japan covered the relevant portions of the box with a sticker.
- Race Mini-Con Team & Space Mini-Con Team (Multi-Pack, 2004)
- An unaltered version of the Space Mini-Con Team was released as part of an Energon-series "Mini-Con 6-pack" with the Road Assault Mini-Con Team (the latter named as "Race Mini-Con Team" on the package).
Notes
Foreign names
- Japanese: Space Micron (スペースマイクロン Supēsu Maikuron)
