## Official Bio

* "Mini"
* Delta Magnus
 *Nobody's quite sure what his deal is. Older student who got lost in a previous trial? New student? Only he knows for sure, and he seems either unable or unwilling to provide that information - Lightbright*

*Delta was the leader of the Magnus Corp when Star Convoy made his debut, and right from the start, Delta followed Star Convoy, the Corp following him all the while. While his ultimate fate is still relatively obscure, one cannot doubt the loyalty that Delta shown right up til the end.*

## History

### The Magnus Corp

Mercurion Ambus became a member of the Magnus Corp, taking on the name Delta Magnus. He became the leader of not only the Delta Legion and the Galactic Watch, but the entirety of the Corp as well.

Delta Magnus was eager to serve Star Convoy, the first to hold the title after seven vorns without one, and told his subordinate Ultra Magnus that being called upon by him was a great honor, though Ultra was far more suspicious.

Delta Magnus led the Delta Legion in the Battle of Sabaroth, a fight that took the lives of hundreds of Autobot soldiers. However, through unknown circumstances, Delta lost his armor, but managed to survive the fight. Presumed dead, Mercurion decided to leave his life behind for unknown reasons, as well as stop speaking and travel to Acadeimos. Due to him not speaking, Mercurion became known as "Mini".

Unbeknownst to him, the Delta Magnus armor somehow wound up on Solemnance as one of the exhibits on Cybertronians Trazyn the Infinite possessed.

### Freshman Year- First Semester

In Bionics vs Biologicals, "Mini" was aboard the *Xantium* when it took off, erroneously depicted sitting besides "GorillaBot". He was dropped into the Forest of Trials, where he was found by Lightbright. Initially mistaken for a teacher, Lightbright then assumed he was a student who had gotten lost years before and never found his way back, prompting Lightbright to try to help him out. The two then found a large group of Cybertronians. Lightbright discussed his origin with Tap-Out and Glyph, with Tap-Out saying he had noticed "Mini" on the shuttle.

Soon, after the group followed "Mini", X-Brawn found several more students who had been following Hot Shot, who revealed that he had been following a direction given to him by a hologram of Star Convoy. When the group debated following Hot Shot, Steeljaw soon arrived and suggested they follow "Mini", implying he had a clue where to go. The group split in two, and "Mini", riding atop Steeljaw, was followed by Bumblebee, Armorhide, "GorillaBot", Arcee, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, along the way being joined by Nightracer. Soon, "Mini" was able to point out the Simulation Site. Arriving, they soon met up with the Hot Shot's group at the site, and split up to investigate the site. "Mini" paired up with "GorillaBot" to explore. When Lightbright found a tunnel, they entered, finally making it to the Academy.

In Day One *and The First Test*, "Mini" was assigned to Class 4-C under Rook, where he scared Artillery by ominously standing in the doorway. As he sat down, he was be repeatedly slapped by Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, who claimed that he was in the wrong class. Arcee then realuzed that it was in fact she and the twins who had entered the wrong classroom. *These events left "Mini" unaffected, and he simply shrugged at Saber's apology for not helping sooner. When the class went to the gym, "Mini" wound up in a heap after attempting to do push ups and had to be helped up by Circuit when the teacher called everyone over to the holodeck, though he didn't respond to any of his classmate's attempts at starting conversation. During the exercise he rode an electrosteed into the burning building and came out with four of the dummies needing to be rescued. Unfortunately, he was noticed on his way out by "Bypass", who promptly shot him down before he could make it to the safe zone.* "Mini" would then enjoy a lollypop as Artillery, Sonar and Tremor assessed him as being one of the "top dogs" of Acadeimos.

The truth about "Mini" was a big mystery for the students of the Academy, with some going so far as to place bets on which theory was correct. Some reported seeing "Mini" fishing at the training lake every night, and no one every saw where he slept at night.

During Fight Sim Club "Mini" was placed on the "villain" team during the first weekly training exercise held by Kup.

Later in The Mystery of Mini during the meet and greet with the Magnus Corp, "Mini" was asked by Ultra Magnus, who instantly recognized him, to wear his armor as a stand in while he went off to talk with Star Convoy, including about his first talk with Delta Magnus about Star Convoy. Agreeing, he was approached by Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, who had decided to try and learn his real name, only to get pulled away by an Autotrooper for getting too close. After being thanked by an Autotrooper for his help, "Mini" left to find Sunstreaker and Sideswipe arguing about missing the chance to learn "Mini's" real name, only for Sideswipe to notice him and apologize for their behavior. "Mini" then took the paper Sideswipe was going to use for the signature and wrote that the two needed to get a life, along with an unreadable signature of his real name.

In Naught but a Game "Mini" joined a group of students in going out into the Forest of Trials to play the newly created game Armorball, but they ended up getting lost. "Mini" wandered off and found the C.D. Pub, where he got a butterfly painted onto his face. Returning to the group, "Mini's" face paint was noticed by Nightracer, and when asked where he got it by Artillery, he pointed to the nightclub. After Artillery, Armorhide, and Rampage went in to investigate, "Mini" came in with the rest of the group to use the bar's matter transporter to teleport back to the Academy, and made it back with everyone except for Wasp, before heading off to relax.

During Paranormality, "Mini" sat next to Longtooth during the assembly where Fortress Maximus announced the students would be observing pro hero teams for the week. "Mini" was sent with Troublemagnet, Sky Link, Gunrunner, and Wasp to Rodion under the supervision of Snipeslash, Manuver, Gigawatt, Ectronymus, and Expanse.

Later in Star Convoy vs Onyx "Mini" attended a history class held by Windblade on the Verte Seven Insurgency and left the room after Steeljaw tricked the teacher into ending class early.

For the final training exercise of the semester in Zero to Hero, "Mini" stood next to Artillery as Kup explained the mission to the freshmen. What was left out was the fact that the mission was a no win scenario with the freshmen facing off against pro heroes. When Nautica discovered that Ultra Magnus had been controlling his armor remotely, "Mini" was volunteered to wear it by Sideswipe, who recalled his previous experience using it. With it, "Mini" was able to get close to Pyra Magna and easily smash through her energy shield, and fought her until she used her gravity powers to knock him unconscious with his own hammer, though he successfully distracted her long enough for a team of freshmen to surround Pyra Magna. Unfortunately, the freshmen still failed the test, but they had gotten the highest score ever on it. Afterwards, "Mini" stood with some of the other freshmen and looked out at the city.

### Freshman Year- Second Semester

The next semester in The Cube Game, "Mini" was given one of the four tickets Bumblebee bought for the Cube finals and came with him to see the match. Unfortunately, Blockade was aware that the tickets were scalped, and would not allow the students to attend the match. He merely watched as the others made plans to sneak into the stadium and headed back to the Academy on his own.

In Summertime Smackdown "Mini" came along on the trip to Sirena organized by Hot Rodimus. There he wandered off and found a racetrack, which turned out to belong to the Stunticons. When Arcee and Hot Shot arrived after looking for "Mini," Arcee claimed that he was worth three Stunticons in a fight, but Motormaster put a stop to the confrontation before a fight could break out. After Motormaster and Arcee made a deal that whichever team that won a race would determine the freshmen's fate, "Mini" was among those selected to take part in it. Choosing to go on foot instead of in his alt mode, "Mini" calmly walked around the track at back of the group, using an umbrella to protect himself from the geysers and simply scared off Windra. Due to him being the only one left on the course, the freshmen won by default, but Motormaster revealed he had no intention of honoring their bargain, forcing "Mini" and the others to have to run back to the Rodpod.

During Internal Affairs "Mini" was payed by Convex to sit in the vents for a few days in order to give her some time away from the detective work of Muzzle. He read a book the first day, and Muzzle found she could not convince him to move or push him out of the way. He was there napping when Muzzle tried again the next day. "Mini" was given his money on the third day once Muzzle gave up going through the vents after finding him playing a video game.

*In Festival Of Stars Pt. 1 Tournament "Mini" signed up to compete in the Tournament of Heroes and was called down to Auditorium Nu by Rollout for a meeting, though he never showed up. "Mini" was paired up against Hot Shot on the one person bracket.*

*"Mini" fought Hot Shot in Festival Of Stars Pt. 2 The Gala! and lost in a fight so lackluster that Autotroopers had to contain the riot that broke out in the arena.*

Delta Magnus was among those listed as being killed on Sabaroth that Umbra Convoy brought up during his speech attacking Star Convoy in Knowing Me, Knowing You.

During the Festival of the Stars "Mini" was among the students who came to wish Arcee luck before her final match with Starbreak in the Tournament of Heroes, and helped force Artillery into the group hug all the students took part in. He then watched in confusion as Tap-Out explained to Glyph that if she fell in love with an idiot, they would never notice it.

### The Siege

#### Aborted Timeline

During the Siege of Acadeimos "Mini" was among the students Hot Rodimus and Blaster led to the teleporter station to try and escape, only to be blocked by Soundwave. However, he eventually managed to make it off the planet.

#### Revised Timeline

When the timeline was altered in Return to Autobot Academy "Mini" no longer needed to flee the planet. With the school having to be closed for repairs, "Mini" headed towards a shuttle to leave for summer vacation, unaware he was being watched by Muzzle.

### Summer Break

In A Bright New Tomorrow "Mini" got on the shuttle flying to Cybertron, and watched Hot Shot follow the clones of Needler stealing luggage from the passengers.

## Powers and Abilities

Though not confirmed as his talent, "Mini" is compatible with Magnus Armor, suggesting he may be a loadbearer. This allows him to wear his own set of Magnus Armor, the Delta Magnus Armor.

While wearing the armor, Delta Magnus has access to a massive hammer and a portable energy shield that can generate a field big enough and strong enough to protect a Titan from a Gauss Cannon blast for a full minute.

"Mini" also has the ability to transform, turning into a Cybertronian Hovertruck. However, he cannot transform while wearing Magnus Armor.
