Transformers Robots in disguise: The forgotten member of Steeljaw's pack

 You did not see that coming,I believe. I'm gonna talk about the most forgotten character of all Robots in disguise history,and that is Minitron. Yes,that small tick bot from Season 1 who controlled Grimlock. I have already made a video about my theory on how Steeljaw found and recruited Minitron. This time,i'm gonna talk about why this character is forgotten.

The second true member of Steeljaw's pack:

Underbite isn't the second Decepticon to join Steeljaw's pack. It was actually in fact Minitron. First being Thunderhoof. Despite very small,Minitron proved to be obedient towards Steeljaw. He was sent to take control of Grimlock and to steal Underbite's pod for him,which indeed worked. So,what happened to him?

Steeljaw's hatred for failures and Minitron's lack of experience: 

Steeljaw pretty much has a huge hatred for failures,like any Decepticon leaders would. Although cunning and smart,it was also confirmed that Steeljaw also has a poor tactic at choosing Decepticons,as he can't seems to control or manipulate most of them at his will. Meanwhile Minitron has little to no experience in battles as he is just a tiny tick. His only power and capability is to take control of someone else. Knowing Minitron's lack of experience,Steeljaw decides to abandon him,leaving him to his defeat and capture by the Autobots. Because of this,Steeljaw would'nt want to make the same mistake again. That's why he tries hard to recruit Decepticons who has no trouble dealing with Autobots. Clampdown being an exception as he act as a father figure to him.

What happened to Minitron after all this?:

First off,I know he's captured. But why didn't he came back? Steeljaw rather wants to forget Minitron for good. He wants nothing to do with him anymore after his failure. I think that's why Minitron never came back. And beside,like I said earlier,he's tiny. He would be way too easy for the Autobots to defeat again.
