Various stories have connected these mystical abilities to the influence of various godly beings: across the Transformers multiverse, different continuities have depicted them as the children of Unicron, the Last Autobot, or Micronus Prime. Most Mini-Cons possess the ability to impart a portion of this power on larger Cybertronians, granting them extra abilities or greatly increasing their strength through a process known as Powerlinxing. Like the Micromasters they resemble, Mini-Cons are roughly human-sized-quite small compared to most Autobots and Decepticons-but while the Micromasters deliberately downsized into smaller bodies to conserve fuel, the naturally diminutive Mini-Cons overflow with energy.
Mini-Cons (aka Minicons) are a race of small Transformers. Intentionally designed to look like the letter 'M', the Mini-Con symbol is also reflected in the design of Unicron's helmet.
