Allegiance: Dairycon
Name: Mini Construction Team - Tipsy, Poser, and WannaBee
Function: Mini Construction Team
Quote: "Servicio de Fuerto!"
Profile:
The original Mini Construction Team (history would record them as being precursors to the MiniCons), Tipsy, Poser and WannaBee are the quintesential 'B-team'. Though they idolise larger Autobots such as Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, they themselves often fall short of the mark. They were the first to volunteer for the reformation procedure to impress the Autobot High Command (and the AHC figured if something went wrong with the experimental procedure, these three would easily be considered acceptable casualties)!
WannaBee imagines himself a leader, always attempting to order the other members of his team into battle. Poser thinks of himself as "the smart one" in the group, but ends up coming off as quite belligerent when he loses an argument. Tipsy, as his name implies, can usually be found sampling at the BrewMasters' still when he isn't working.
Abilities:
Tipsy, Poser, and WannaBee excel at building (and rebuilding) fortifications. Broken concrete, shattered glass, you name it. Usually called in to repair human settlements after a particularly nasty Autobot/Decepticon battle. Their ability to blend into the local enviornment is quite good. When in the presense of the BrewMasters, they are able to assemble into a being of Great Power.
Weaknesses:
Poser & Wannabee routinely bicker amongst each other, and have been so distracted by their own prattle that they can completely forget that they are in the middle of a battle. Tipsy is usually there to keep the two 'in check', but if he's called to duty when he's been off the clock, he's probably in an altered mental state from sampling the Brewmaster's stocks with Uncle Whiskey Breath. Even in combined mode, they are often not effective in full-scale combat. Fighting and lack of ablity seem to be at the Nexus of their difficulties.
