• Steamhammer the armored personnel carrier.
• Tankor the twin-missile tank.
• Thunderblast the missile truck.

A redeco of the Armada Land Military Mini-Con Team, the Aid Defense Team team was never sold as a single set. Each member came in a separate "vs pack" with a member of the rival Sky Attack Team, as the first wave of Cybertron Mini-Con 2-packs.

• Evac with Bonus Mini-Cons (Voyager bonus pack, 2005)
• Leobreaker with Bonus Mini-Cons (Voyager bonus pack, 2005)
• Mudflap with Bonus Mini-Cons (Voyager bonus pack, 2005)

Target stores got a special run of Cybertron Voyagers, each with one of the Air Defense/Sky Attack Mini-Con pairings attached to the top of the packaging in a special bubble. These sets were sold for the normal cost of a Voyager toy. All of the toys included were identical to their individual releases.

Evac came with Steamhammer and Razorclaw, Leobreaker came with Thunderblast and Sky Lynx, and Mudflap came with Tankor and Shockwave.
