Thoughts:
Makeshift and Knockdown are assembled wrong. Their legs are attached to the wrong sides of the pelvis. Simply pop off the legs and swap them.
The packaging says "Armada Series", which is incorrect. While Mini-Cons are from Armada originally, these are Classics Mini-Con molds. That aside...
What the hell is up with the Bio on the back of the package? "Many Mini-Con teams were broken apart or destroyed utterly by the greed of the Decepticons, or the desperation of the Autobots." Meow? Since when? Revisionist history if you ask me.
The packaging gives factions to the individual Mini-Cons, they however do not have any faction symbols other than the Mini-Con one.
All that junk aside, these are great Mini-Cons!
This set is easily on par with MB1 and MB2 in terms of cool.
All the figures have individual paint aps and are fairly unique in their look.
Boltflash, Flatfoot, and Bodyblock are easily my favorites.
I noticed Knockdown and makeshift's funky legs first thing, but luckily it's an easy fix. Overall, I'm loving this set. The paint apps are surprisingly good, and I love the paint homages they've thrown in:
Heavytread - Warpath
Boltflash - Nightflight (Or Leader-1! zomg gobots)
Skyhammer - Uhm, Skyhammer XD;
etc etc.
All in all, worth braving the terror that was K-Mart's affiliates.
