Fiction

Classics

Grindor, Oil Slick, and Dirt Rocket were among the first ofBroadside's secret recruits among the Mini-Cons. They took a job modifying thetrans-hyperwave caster towerfor him, warning the Autobots that Cybertron was still uninhabitable in order to keep the planet all to the Mini-Cons. They were discovered by theDinobotcommanderHacksawduring the modifications. They outnumbered him 3-to-1 but, well, he was a Dinobot. Broadside arrived just in time to stop Hacksaw from taking the Dirt Diggers into custody, and their personal duel ended in Hacksaw's death. With the modified signal left unfinished and the popular Mini-Con leader dead, Broadside gave the Dirt Digger Team a choice — flee the scene as unknown assailants, or be the assassins killed while resisting arrest. They took off.The New World

As Mini-Cons, each one has a "Powerlinx"socket that allows them to attach to larger toys that have compatible Powerlinx plugs.
