The Minnow is a ship from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family
For 20 years we were hoping it was called Battlestar Galactica...

The Minnow was a vessel used by the Junkions. It was kept buried under huge piles of rubbish when not in use. It was eventually destroyed by Unicron.

Fiction

The Transformers cartoon

Just sit right back and you'll read a tale,
A tale of a mighty ship
That launched from good old planet Junk
Straight into Unicron's grip


When Junkions allies did make
They gave a rad hurrah,
And launched the Minnow straight away
To kill the grand poobah, to kill the grand poobah


At Cybertron did they arrive
Flame breath it couldn't avoid,
If not for the mend work of the fearless crew,
The Minnow'd be destroyed, the Minnow'd be destroyed


They fought the Chaos Bringer for as long as they could fight
With Wreck-Gar,
Ultra Magnus too,
Perceptor, perhaps Blurr,
Maybe Wheelie,
And the rest,
By Darkest hour's new light!

  • Behold, Galvatron! Unicron Companion Pack (2022)
In honor of the 35th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie, the Minnow was included as part of the "Unicron Companion Pack" meant to serve as an extra accessory for the gigantic HasLab Unicron figure. The Minnow was made of painted rubbery plastic and could peg onto the small clear display stand that came with Unicron.
The Unicron Companion Pack was included with a similarly TFTM-centric version of Galvatron. This set was exclusively available through Hasbro Pulse. It was revealed on October 22, 2021 and slated for release on March 1, 2022.

Notes

  • This vessel went nameless for over 20 years. It was retroactively dubbed the Minnow in Transformers: The Complete Ark.
  • If you haven't figured it out by now, the Minnow shares it name with the boat the characters from the TV show Gilligan's Island were on when a storm marooned them on an uncharted isle.
  • Wreck-Gar introduces the Minnow with the line "new, improved Junkion planet is sleek, sexy import with turbo handling". This is a leftover from the early script in which the Junkions' planet was their spaceship.

Foreign names

  • Japanese: Junkion rocket (ジャンキオン・ロケット Jankion roketto)
