Wrapping up our coverage of Transformers Generation 2014 Deluxe Wave 2, we have a look at the Mini-Con Assault Team! Much like the Mini-Con teams of Transformers Armada, the Mini-Con Assault Team is a three pack of smaller Transformers, named Heavytread, Runway, and Windsheer. The trio are each a bit larger than the Mini-Cons of old - closer to Cyberverse Legion size. They also have another ability - the trio can merge to form Centuritron, a roughly Deluxe sized robot. That's seven different modes, and effectively four different robots, all in one Deluxe sized package!

Individually, each Mini-Con is roughly on a par with a good Legion class toy - each one has a great range of movement, especially Runway and Windsheer. Transformations between modes are simple, but clean. Each of the trio manages to avoid having too many obvious cues of their combined mode visible - Heavytread does look like a pair of legs from some angles, but then he is also rendered as a heavy-set robot, so he gets away with it.

Combined, the Centuritron is a nicely integrated little robot. His three component Mini-Cons all have a unified color scheme, so they blend when they are merged, which helps Centuritron look like a unified whole and not three robots combined. He's got a decent range of movement too - some joints are a little restricted, but not terribly so. One thing to watch out for are the shoulders, which being ball jointed, may work loose over time, especially with the size of the Mini-Cons combined weapons.

Overall, the Mini-Con Assault Team is a fantastic set. It's great value for money, presenting three great little robots and their combined form. It's one of those sets which reminds you just how amazing Hasbro's releases can be.

Check out our gallery for this set at the links below - we have split up the set to give each of the Mini-Cons, and the combined Centuritron, their own sub-galleries.
