Completely lost track of time, as well as being re-hit with a bit of an art block and brain deadness. Wanted to do a pic of my entire minibot maintenance team, but I gave up after four. Started creating them once I notice a startling lack of support crew for either faction, of which is a must for any large scale operation especially military. There's not a lot of fame potential in their work or even chances to oppose the opposite faction, but very much needed in the background. Also, imagine that the one stuck to the ceiling is a bit smaller, he should be about the size of the one with a visor. I got attacked by the transformers scale bug and I didn't notice until it was too late to fix.
Names and info from left to right for those interested.
Rotary: His alt mode is a push lawnmower, which is rather ironic as he's an autotroph scientist and he would rather study plants than cut them down. He's really more of an honorary member, but with as much as they interact in my head it would have been odd not to include him. Yet I failed to include the photovoltaic pussycat who's always at his side, not quite a pet, it's more of a work partner with whom he studies light to see how life forms like plants can gain energy directly from a solar source.
Frostbite: A femme whose alt is a snowmobile, she specializes in large engines, generators and other like machinery. She has an ability that let's her act like a heat sink, absorbing heat too cool off something else though the physics of it break my brain. It's quite helpful when trying to prevent large machinery from overheating and getting damaged.
Steelbeat: He takes a pilliated woodpecker form (thank you bunny farm) once on Earth, as it works well for the crowded conditions the team often works with while they're under the top levels of Cybertron. He's got specialized mag plates that let him stick to pretty much anything metal when he reverses the polarity, beneficial when working several levels up in a large cavern filled with pipes. If he has a specific specialization, he hasn't told me..
Firescale: A salamander, he's the welding specialist of the team and all that it entails. One of his non-welding tools is a needlegun scaler. He's one of my least developed minibots so I don't have much on him yet.

One of the one's I think you'll like is a giant cargoship, who formed when I was trying to fill in how the Decepticons got so much energon to Cybertron even though they were thwarted in pretty much every G1 episode.
