    Legit it's the only way to explain how Magnus could survive being blown up and tore apart by the Sweeps.

    The toy was basically a white guy robot in a suit of transformable armour...it's really not that much of a surprise.

    My only problems with Minimus are the facial hair and his tiny size. I'm not a fan of minicons.

    I always though one of the best things about the G1 Magnus toy was the cab robot.

    Personally I would like to see Energon Ultra Magnus included among those that wore the armour. His minicon kind of reminds of Minimus anyway

    We don't actually know what the others look like, so it's entirely possible.

    Apart from the Ammonites and those new little Duocon-guys from one of the recently discovered colonies, are there any true "minicons" in IDW yet?

    Irreducible Minimus is about the same size as Rewind, right? So... borderline Minicon, if such a thing existed?

    Roberts said somewhere that Nickel was a Mini-Con.

    I wonder if he meant it officially, or just informally.

    Wouldn't that mean that she's the LAST Minicon? Wasn't she the last survivor of her planet or something like that?

    I could check the issue, but it's not handy at the moment. :)

    I don't mind the little guy. I was never a fan of the of him being a white Optimus. Although I would love for them to have him pull a prank on Hot Rod/Rodimus by pretending to be Optimus Prime ghost. Hasbro, make it happen.

    Pretty sure it was mentioned that the Prion colony, being under Micronus Prime, was a colony of minicons, of which Nickel was the only survivor after the black block consortia decimated them.

    I hope you've now had enough time to learn of the powerful and wise Minimus Ambus over the years. :p

    The Minimus Ambus storyline was close to the last straw when it came to MTMTE for me as a reader. Did not like it at all.

    Took me a minute to process, but this is totally a "Prime, I'm just a soulja, I'm not worthy." joke, isn't it?

    Now I kinda want a video of Magnus doing the Soulja Boy.

    This probably makes me a terrible person.
