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)

What was the Takara reissiue called? X-BoB58 23:27, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Don't forget the Sparkler Mini-Bots. That, at least, is official.
