Howdy.
I don't know if this has been covered already or not, but I've recently been purchasing a few Energon and Cybertron figures, with plans to intentions to kitbash a custom or 2 out of what I collect (in particular, General (Autobahn) Lee from Downshift & Big Daddy parts, and Cardiac from Red Alert/Crankcase/Cannonball).
Anyway, when planning these two, as well as other future customs based on Unicron Trilogy-era TFs, I often find myself thinking of what possible Mini-Con partners they could have -- not from repainted/bashed Minis, but from exitsting Has/Tak repaints. In many cases, the prinicipal characters already have Mini-Cons, or could be paired with some version of their original partner (such as Excellion/Hot Shot/CD Hot Shot partnering with Armada or Cybertron Jolt, or Energon "rebuilt" Demolisher pairing with KB 'original' Demo's Blackout.)
My question is, can y'all imagine a pairing of a new character (either original, or existing post-Armada TF) with a latter-year repaint or retooled Mini-Con? What new name would you come up with for your 'Bot's Mini-Con?
There are currently about 360 to chose from. Well over half of those would be eligible.
