Is 'Minibots' actually an official term? I'm pretty sure they were never called that in any catalogues or fiction. - RolonBolon 21:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I had the same question.--G.B. Blackrock 21:16, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I believe it was used in the Marvel comics, at least early on. Does anybody have them handy? I mostly read 'em at the library or from the used-to-was scan archives online. --Autobus Prime 21:19, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
The toy catalogs list them as Minicars and then Mini Vehicles, as toys like Powerglide and Cosmos were added. If it's not from there, I wonder where "Minibots" came from. --ItsWalky 21:29, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
"Minicars" I'm quite familiar with. Perhaps we should change the name? That still leaves "Mini Vehicles" but it's reasonably clear, as Walky suggests, that this is simply because the year 2 "mini-whatevers" were no longer cars. "Minibots" may be an attempt to bridge the gap, but then we must consider it a "fan" term.--G.B. Blackrock 21:44, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
