The Street Speed Mini-Con Team are among the speediest racers around. They specialize in reconnaissance missions and any jobs involving a fast getaway.
The Street Speed Team members are:
Fiction
Armada cartoon
Dreamwave Armada comic
Cybertron toy bios
The Street Speed Team were sent to Velocitron as advance scouts for the Autobots. The planet's mass of winding high-speed tracks really appealed to them, to the point where they started having a hard time tearing themselves from the road to get their missions underway.
Toys
Armada
- Street Speed Mini-Con Team (Basic, 2002)
- Takara ID number: MM-06
- Takara release date: December 27, 2002
- In the Hasbro line, the Street Speed team were released in the third assortment of Mini-Con teams. In Japan, it was part of the massive first wave of Legend of the Microns product, released in December 2002. Aside from packaging, there are no noteworthy differences between the two releases. Their Team gimmick involves pin-axle wheels that allow for speedy rolling on smooth surfaces.
- The Armada release was also made available in a clamshelled two-pack at various retail outlets. So far, all samples of packs with the Street Speed Team known have come with the Adventure Mini-Con Team as their pack-in partners.
- These molds were also used for the Super Stunt Team, Courier Mini-Con Team, and Highway Domination Mini-Con Team.
- In Japan, the Street Speed Team was available both on an individual card and in a multi-pack with "Silverbolt" (the Japanese version of Super-Con Blurr) and his partner "Turbo" (aka Incinerator), released concurrently with the individually-boxed Silverbolt as part of the third wave of Legend of the Microns product. All the toys in the set are identical to their individual releases.
- Auto Overdrive Edition (Mini-Con, 2003)
- Nitro Overdrive Edition (Mini-Con, 2003)
- Sieg Overdrive Edition (Mini-Con, 2003)
- Individual members of the "Overdrive Edition" redeco of the Team were given away at the 17-day Japanese "World Hobby Fair" in January/February. In April, they were also available as random giveaways at Ito Yokaido stores with the purchase of any Legends of the Microns product.
- Street Speed Mini-Con Team (Basic, 2003)
- A redeco of the Team was planned to be released as part of a “refresh” version of the Street Speed Team in Armada, as part of the late-series "Unicron Battles" subline imprint. The coloration of the Team was a “one-off” of the Takara Overdrive Edition versions, with each toy’s main color shifted over to another one, and the inner robot bits in a light tan rather than white.
 Proceed on your way to oblivion. |
Cybertron
- Street Speed Mini-Con Team (Basic-class, 2004/2005)
- Takara ID number: GC-08
- Takara release date: December 28, 2004
- The Street Speed Team was retooled for the Cybertron toyline, keeping more or less the same car models, but adding extra Cybertronic detailing. Each Mini-Con's main body was also cast in metal-flake plastic for extra shininess. The Team was part of the fourth wave of Cybertron Scout-class toys, whereas in Japan, they were part of the very first (large) wave of Galaxy Force. There are seemingly no differences between the Hasbro and Takara releases.
Notes
- For reasons unknown, the Japanese Legends of the Microns Street Speed Team has entirely different package art from the Armada Street Speed Mini-Con Team release.
- As seen in "Tactician", "Rescue", and "Depart", the Street Speed Mini-Cons received generic recolors in the Armada cartoon and used the same color palettes in each appearance, indicating character models with alternate colors were created for whatever reason.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Street Speed Micron (ストリートスピードマイクロン Sutorīto Supīdo Maikuron), Auto Micron (Galaxy Force, オートマイクロン Ōto Maikuron)
- Korean: Street Speed (스트리트스피드 Seuteuriteu Seupideu)
- French: Équipe Vélocité des Minimodus ("Velocity Mini-Con Team")
- Spanish: Los Minimodus - Equipo Correcalles ("The Mini-Cons - Street Runner Team")[1]
References
- ↑ "Correcalles" is a Spanish compound word derived from "correr" ("to run") and "calle" ("street"), sometimes used as the name of the game of leapfrog.
