  • Ultra Magnus (Ultra, 2004 (unreleased version))
A planned redeco of the Armada Street Speed Mini-Con Team. The coloration of the entire team is based on the Japanese market exclusive Super Stunt Team, just with the colors rotated between the three of them.
Ultimately, the Mini-Cons were never released at retail. The redecoed Street Speed Team members were displayed at OTFCC 2003, and the toys were intended to be included with Energon Ultra Magnus, but they were replaced with same-character redecos of the Space Mini-Con Team presumably at the last possible minute. Leaked packaged samples of Ultra Magnus that have made it out into the secondary market contain the Street Speed Mini-Cons in their intended colors[1] (see also the image to the right), and the final release version still lists them on both sides of the packaging, although the back of the box shows them in the original Armada Street Speed Team's colors (as well as Ultra Magnus in Armada Overload's colors).[2] The Japanese "USA Edition" release (in minimally modified Hasbro packaging) still lists the Street Speed Team on the front of the box, but covers the portion on the back that depicts the Street Speed Mini-Cons with a grayscale sticker depicting the Space Team[3], whereas the European packaging lists and depicts the Space Team (albeit still in their Armada colors).[4]
Your bargaining posture is highly dubious.

Proceed on your way to oblivion.
This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

Notes

  • The Courier Mini-Con Team was not established till 2015, when the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime gave characterization to its members.
