The '''[[X-Dimension]]s''' (エクスディメンションズ ''Ekusu Dimenshonzu'') Microns are a series of [[redeco]]s of various [[Mini-Con]] Teams released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]. These redecos were more limited than the original color schemes, but were still standard retail-sale items (with one exception).

Of the first eleven Mini-Con Team mold-sets, all but one—the [[Street Speed Mini-Con Team]]—got the X-Dimensions treatment. Nine of those teams were released close to the originals; the packaging was almost wholly unchanged; only the cardboard cardfront behind the plastic bubble reflected the change by adding "X-Dimensions" to the text and giving the Team a new ID number. The final Team, the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team]], was available only as part of the Toys"R"Us [[exclusive]] "Magna Convoy DX set" multi-pack.

*According to the ''[[Legends of the Microns Year Book 2003]]'' retrospective, the X-Dimensions color schemes were planned to be used in an alternate-universe comic story that would follow the conflict from the viewpoint of the Mini-Cons. However, this series was never produced, and no reason is given as to why. A comic series from the perspective of Mini-Cons, ''[[Linkage (comic)|Linkage]]'', was produced and packaged with the ''Legends of the Microns'' DVDs, but it takes place within the same universe as the cartoon.
*The existence of the X-Dimension Mini-Cons stem from a misunderstanding of the "[[Exdimensions]]" term, meant to indicate those characters' extra-universal origin, as "[[X-Dimension]]", a location in itself. [[Ask Vector Prime]] would continue with this concept by repurposing the Exdimensions toys as new characters using the Mini-Cons' Japanese names while creating new team names.
*More than a decade after the original, bio- and fiction-less release of the X-Dimensions toys, [[Ask Vector Prime]] and [[Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News Reporter]] made it clear that they represented new characters and teams.
*Thus far, the only X-Dimension Mini-Cons to have individually appeared in fiction have done so as dimensional refugees in ''TransTech'' stories.
*Their description in the ''TransTech'' Facebook blogs does not specify if there is only 1 iteration of the X-Dimension Mini-Cons in the entire multiverse or if they have many parallel incarnations as all normal Transformers do.

The X-Dimension Mini-Cons are a series of Mini-Con teams originating in the X-Dimension.

Fiction

Andromeda interviewed Needlenose, who off-handedly mentioned sending the Zephyr Blade Mini-Con Team to their deaths in the X-Dimension. Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News, 2015/05/19 Later, Vector Prime expressed surprise that residents of the Quadwal Cluster knew of the Zephyr Blade team but not the others, and proceeded to share information on their names and team affiliations.

Notes

  • The existence of the X-Dimension Mini-Cons stem from a misunderstanding of the "Exdimensions" term, meant to indicate those characters' extra-universal origin, as "X-Dimension", a location in itself. Ask Vector Prime would continue with this concept by repurposing the Exdimensions toys as new characters using the Mini-Cons' Japanese names while creating new team names.
