Monster Mind Vehicles
Generally, Monster Mind battles are carried out by clones of the main Monster Minds that are grown from vines. Saw Boss is able to communicate with these clones (and communicate with others with a clone as a medium) telepathically. These clones are referred to as "troopers"; Saw Trooper, Terror Trooper, K.O. Trooper, etc. The true Monster Minds change from their humanoid forms into vehicles upon leaving their headquarters, although they are significantly larger and more powerful than their mass-produced clones.
- Monster Minds ground legions (early)
- Saw Troopers – A vehicle with a large buzzsaw on a rotating stalk.
- Terror Troopers – A tank-like vehicle with a large, venus flytrap-like mouth mounted on the body.
- Gun Troopers – A vehicle with a cluster of cannons clenched in its teeth. The main weapon is a multi-headed spiked flail mounted on top of the body.
- K.O. Troopers – A truck-like vehicle with a large wrecking ball-like stalk.
- Beast Walkers – A large, four-legged vehicle with a front-mounted claw weapon that is the powerhouse of a Monster Mind clone army. They were seldom used, due to the greater energy required to spawn.
- Monster Minds ground legions (developed later)
- Flapjacks – A van-like vehicle with a catapult; they were designed, but not produced in the toy-line.
- Lurchers – A vehicle with a front ram; again, not produced in the toy-line.
- Snapdragons – A smaller four-legged walking vehicle with front-mounted "petals" that opened like a flower to expose a laser cannon.
- Battle Stations – The Monster Minds' answer to Battle Base, it was unproduced in the toy line. It was used in only one episode as it took enormous amounts of energy to spawn.
- Monster Minds aerospace legions (unrepresented in the toy-line)
- Cruisers – A larger Monster Mind spacecraft.
- Scouts/Satellites – A smaller Monster Mind spacecraft. Both names referred to the same vehicle type in the animation.
- Drill Vines – A small rocket craft with a drill nose-cone, containing a Monster Mind vine cluster, which was used to penetrate targets and release a growth of vines.
- Pods – A plant-like insertion craft launched by Cruisers or Scouts, when Drill Vines were not called for.
- Space Fighters – A small Monster Mind starfighter, used much less commonly than Scouts.
- Monster Mind network legions (unrepresented in the toy-line)
- Expansion Vines – A large vine growth used to infest a planet and spawn Monster Mind Troopers, also sometimes used to connect planets through open space.
- Spore Vines – Not as large as Expansion Vines, used to deploy biological weapons in the form of gases.
- Recepticles – A block-like plant that is used to form a teleportation point for Saw Boss's headquarters (originally Audric's lab).
- Brains – A small plant mass with a single central eye, used for communication by Monster Mind agents of other races.

Famous quotes containing the words monster, mind and/or vehicles:
“I’ve created a hundred times the monster that my father made.”
—W. Scott Darling. Erle C. Kenton. Dr. Frankenstein (Sir Cedric Hardwicke)
“That Calvinistic sense of Innate Depravity and Original Sin, from whose visitations, in some shape or another, no deeply thinking mind is always and wholly free. For, in certain moods, no man can weigh this world, without throwing in something, somehow like Original Sin, to strike the uneven balance.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
