    They seem to be Just Transformers toys, the 2010 toy line, also called Autobot Alliance.

    Please don't get so bent out of shape over it. They need to be categorised somewhere, and the previous few Mini-con boosters went with the respective "Universe" line of the time. So based on that precedent they "fit" with the current "Universe 3.0 / Classics 3.0" series.

    But that's just my opinion. Granted I am kind of forcing it on you since I'm the one who decided where to put them in resources (d'oh!) but feel free to form your own opinion.

    Though they are compatible with the Power Core Combiners...

    All the online retailers are saying they're Generations because of how they're solicited. They're definitely part of this 2010 TF red box line, which is basically "whatever the hell else we could think of".

    I usually think of the 2010 red cards as Generations first, since Generations uses red cards in 2010. Same with those movie Activators. :lol

    I really wish Hasbro had not put the "Generations" tag under the logo. They should have just mashed Generations and HfD into "Transformers" and put anything that isn't in the current main line in it.

    Kit Kat? I can send you a case. You can make a lot of money selling these at Auto Assemby.

    Lol.. Seriously. I thought thought in the UK Poundland stocks the same stuff?

    I'll have to go hunting for these. I'm not bent out of shape about the price tag. I'm not paying tree fitty for a minicon, I'm paying tree fitty for the awesome names.

    The best we get at Poundland are utterly random recoloured/retooled KOs, rather than official TFs. :(

    I recently got that 10-pack from Kmart and the quality of them sucks.I feel bad for anyone that actually paid $25 for that set.Hopefully they improved these ones.They do look better,but still not worth $3.50.

    I have the 12 pack and 10 pack from K-Mart, and mine don't have any problems... Same quality as the originals.

    I'm talking about the 8 pack of Mini-cons coming out with just as awesome unique names...

    I don't expect I'll have much trouble tracking down the 8 pack.

    Though since I never got the Cybertron Mini-cons in these single packs I'll have to get them, and considering the sporadic nature of cheapo stores near me that will be no small feat. Still, loves me some Mini-cons and will gets them.
