Transformers Attacktix Series 1 Spoilers - Mini-Con

MINI-CON
#TF1-01



ATTACKTIX CLASS: Trooper
TRANSFORMERS CLASS: Autobot
POINT VALUE: 10
BASE SPEED: 4
BASE: Small
SPECIAL POWER: Attackback (Autobot)
ATTACK TYPE: Shooter (Small Missile)

Today we will take a look at some of the Troopers of the Transformers Series. Troop building another fun aspect of Attacktix, and the designers have figured out a nice way to pull it off in Transformers. Mini-Cons are a human-sized race of power-enhancing transforming robots in the newer versions of Transformers, so they will work very well with suporting and powering-up their teammates! The Mini-Con is your standard low-cost shooter, with a small base and a familiar Special Power: Attackback.

What's up with "Base Speed". Starting with these new sets, Attacktix figures have a new movement tracker. Instead of a printed number on the base, the figure speed is shown in the top window. Instead of just flipping from red to black, the window now shows the figures speed alternating between red and white text. All figures will have a base speed in line with previous figures, but speed dials can have "sweet spots" with an extra 'Tix of speed, or "weak spots" with a 'Tix less of speed.
