ARMADA NIGHT ATTACK TEAM

This set is from 2003. Unlike the Air Assault Team and Road Wrecker Team. This is not the powerlink form. They are re-paints of the Land Military Team but the team has completely different characters compared to the Land Military Team. Fetch had one appearance in the Armada cartoon. In the episode when Thrust goes to get his minicon from a storage area. Fetch is in a crowd of minicons. The entire team appeared in the Dreamwave comics.

No pictures are available from cartoon or comic.

SCATTOR

MOTTO; "Fight fire with firepower."

TECH SPEC; Scattor leads the battle-hardened unit of malcontent Mini-Cons known as the Night Attack Team with a cold confidence. They've personally fought in and won more battles than most armies have, so he's not worried about the team's ability to function under fire. Scattor has no doubt that those with the biggest guns will win the day, and he's equally sure that his team has those guns. Like their counterparts on the Land Military Team, the Night Attack trio has kept from joining officially with any group. However, it's no secret that the fiendish Scattor, who's wanted for war crimes throughout the galaxy, readily identifies with the cruel Decepticon ideology of might making right. He has even considered joining them, if only for added protection in case any survivors of the Night Attack Team's cosmic wrongdoing ever return to claim vengeance on Scattor. Should the Night Attack unit join with the Decepticons, their strength could tip the balance of power decidedly against the Autobots.

BROADSIDE

MOTTO; "Fear the darkness and shadows, for we are there." 

TECH SPEC; It's like looking into a mirror. A dirty, cracked, ugly-makin' mirror. Yeah, Broadside and his unit got a lot In common with us. They're warrior Mini-Cons who are unaligned with any faction, not to mention the fact that they were built to be pretty much our physical doubles. But this Broadside scraplet is nothing like me, and don't you forget it. He's , a cruel, pretentious shell of a 'bot who's always spouting off half-brained verses about "darkness this, shadows that:' Whatever. He'd better stick to the darkness, all right, 'cause if I ever catch sight of him on the battlefield there isn't gonna be too much left of him.

FETCH

MOTTO; "What, you think you can take me?"

TECH SPEC; Fetch's motto is essentially his response to anything that someone. might have to say to him. If someone asks a question that seems even remotely derogatory, Fetch bristles immediately and starts calling for a fight. Most people aren't prepared for Fetch's hair-trigger temper, much to the amusement of Broadside and Scattor. The other members of the Night Attack Team do little to discourage this behaviour, and actually egg Fetch on in these circumstances. They eagerly employ their favourite tactic: suggesting that some hapless, clueless Mini-Con talk to Fetch "about his self-esteem problem:' This gives them something to joke about and usually spells disaster for the object of Fetch's aggressive attentions. Fetch's foul disposition is indicative of his team's nature, so it's no surprise that they lean toward the Decepticon side of the war as much as the Land Military Team leans toward the Autobots.

Scattor and Fetch both have missile launchers that you have to skewer your finger to fire but Broadside has a spring loaded one with a trigger.

The colour scheme suits them

Easy to transform.

Scattors transformation is good as his wheels go onto his chest but does mean that he has mismatched legs. It is quite clever though. he only has one hand as the other is one big cannon.

Fetch has no hands just two cannons.

Broadside has two hands as his cannon is on his shoulder. It does look very large though.
