Mini-Cons explained!

Synopsis

Still in Rattrap's dream, Tailgate introduces himself and his partner, Groundshaker. It is explained that Micromasters came to Earth in the 1980s in search of Optimus Prime and the Matrix. Due to a dimensional shockwave, they evolved and became Micromaster Sixteams, able to transform and combine. Later in the war, most of the Micromasters fell under the command of Hot Rod, who led them in creating the planet Micro. Further, a Mini-Con is a Micromaster with the ability to transform into another mode and provide their larger partners with a power up. Rattrap asks Tailgate if he could be a Mini-Con as well, since he is also small. This proves to be strangely successful, as he incapacitates Trypticon with his ribbon bomb.
