Comettor
Comettor (otherwise known as Sonar in the Japanese series) is a Mini-Con which can transform in to a lunar rover. A keen explorer, his partner is the Autobot Jetfire, whom he choose so he could have the chance to travel the universe. Unfortunately, the war with the Decepticons has kept Jetfire, as well as Comettor, stuck planetside.

Comettor possesses above-average intelligence, but below-average physical abilities. He is an astute explorer with extensive scientific insights and technical knowledge. In vehicle mode, he is an effective all-terrain exploratory vehicle that can relay communications as far as 250,000 miles away; he can also act as Jetfire's front landing gear in this mode.

Comettor appeared in episodes #36 "Mars" and #40 "Remorse" of the Armada cartoon. He also appeared in several issues of the Dreamwave comic adaptation.

Inferno
Inferno is the name of the Mini-Con partnered with the Decepticon, Thrust. An antagonist, Inferno counters Thrust's role as a manipulator, picking up on some of his arrogance and grating on hie fellow Mini-Cons and Decepticons. Despite this they still form a strong team. Inferno appeared in two episodes in the Armada cartoon, the first of which was epidode #25 "Tactician", where he was chosen to partner Thrust. The second episode was #49 "Alliance", where he assists in the evacuation of Cybertron as its attacked by Unicron. In the Dreamwave comic adapatation of Armada, Inferno appeared in issue #18 aiding Over-Run in the use of the Mini-Con Matrix in the defeat of Unicron.

Longarm
Longarm (Hook in Japan) is the Mini-Con partner of Red Alert. He turns into a crane, however his vehicle mode is not the size of an actual crane, it is too small for a person to ride inside but is able to perform all the functions of an actual crane.

Longarm is a Mini-Con that whom Red Alert resuscitated from near-terminal stasis lock. The new Longarm still retains the same goodnatured personality circuits and compulsions of the original, but his memory banks are now in a blank slate. Possessing a logic-centric mentality, Longarm serves as Red Alert's "second brain." He is able to greatly enhance Red Alert's already impressive cognitive abilities during the Powerlink process, allowing the Autobot to "multi-task" in the truest sense of the word. While Longarm is able to analyze and diagnose technical problems, Red Alert can simultaneously solve other issues or perform completely separate tasks.

Longarm first appeared in epidode #3 "Base", and made his last appearance in epidose #43 "Puppet'. Longarm also appeared among the Mini-Cons in issue #18 of the Transformers: Armada comic book. Here they aided Over-Run in using the Mini-Con Matrix in the defeat of Unicron. His toy was later recolored into a Powerlinx form along with Red Alert.

Rollbar_(Transformers)
Rollbar is a white dune buggy. He is detailed in gray and black. In the cartoon continuity, he featured prominently in the Japanese Linkage'' DVD comic, which chronicles how he came to be partnered with Scavenger, as well as his short time alongside the "Super Stunt Team".

Rollbar appeared among the Mini-Cons, in issue #18 of Dreamwave's Transformers: Armada comic book, who aided Over-Run using the Mini-Con Matrix in the defeat of Unicron. His biography portrayed him as being insanely brave to the point of stupidity. Even before the war broke out he was renowned for standing up to Megatron and the Decepticons. Teamed up with Scavenger, his strength and take-no-prisoners attitude mean the duo gave become a force to be reckoned with.

Sparkplug
Sparkplug (not to be confused with Sparkplug Witwicky) is the young Mini-Con partner of Optimus Prime. He bears a resemblance to Bumblebee from the G1 series, and transforms into a sports car and normally powerlinks with Optimus on his left shoulder. He is very open and outgoing, and quickly makes friends with Alexis, Carlos, and Rad. Sparkplug usually operates the mobile command base trailer when Optimus Prime is not using it in his Super Mode.

Sparkplug first appeared in the cartoon in episode four, where he demonstrated his race's unique powers by personally summoning the Skyboom Shield to protect Optimus Prime. After Optimus Prime's death, Sparkplug was found clutching the Matrix, and would later help use it to resurrect the Autobot leader.

While he was essentially the "leader" of the Mini-Cons in the Armada cartoon, like many Mini-Cons, he played a much bigger role in the comics. He was discovered inside the Mini-Con ship along with the Street Action Team (Perceptor) by the kids, and quickly teamed up with Optimus Prime.
