Welcome to my first product kit review. As first kit that I will be reviewing is the mighty Minotaur.
Kit is unlocked at First Lieutenant . For 201 000 crystals you can buy this kit. Now let's start reviewing this wonderful kit. Pictures of battle score with Minotaur are under spoilers! 

 

Twins M2

Twins M2 without this kit can be bought only on Lieutenant Colonel for a 132 600 crystals. If we compare Twins M2 with other turrets, then Twins will win against most of short ranged turrets - Firebird can be destroyed, if use light hull, but you will die afterwards from it burn effect, Rico will be won even, if he uses heavy hull and also Freeze can be won, Isida can be destroyed, if you run around him and turn away his turret, so he wouldn't be able to shoot you. So if we compare, then twins is actually the best short range turret after firebird.
Twins m3 can be bought on rank Marshal and that's actually late for M3s, but if Micro-Upgrade it from 
First Lieutenant , then probably fully MUed Twins M3 can be far more faster than rank Marshal and therefor, Minotaur has advantage, but if MU turret, then more crystals will be spent, than buying M3, but it gives extra strength against weaker opponents with M2 hulls/turrets. 
Of course many players will say that twins requires no skills. Therefor go to @Flexoo article User Guide - Twins and learn how to play with Twins as real champion. Others will agree with me, that Twins needs a bit of thinking and skills as same as every other turret in Tanki Online, just have advantage as no reloading power. :wub:

Minotaur against M1s and few M2s are a bit overpowered and if you use drugs as well, then you always will be 1st place. I have only played Noise CTF, few Rio CTFs and Kungur, Polygon DMs. Mostly have been 1st
with playing against enemies till my rank.

Of course it is harder to be at 1st places, if are not able to use supplies, but you still have chance to be at good places, even without supplies.
Here I have played few games without any Repair Kits, only few Double Damages and Double Powers. As you can see,  if your team is interested into helping you, then it's still possible to be at 1st place.

Don't forget that Twins don't need any time to wait till it recharge, if you are in combat and many players are coming, put brick on space bar and keep them away!
 
 

Viking M2

Viking M2 usually is available to purchase only at Lieutenant Colonel for a 99 900 crystals. Viking is the lowest and slowest medium hull in Tanki Online. Therefor, it has more Health Points than others and it's heavier. If we compare it to Hunter, then obviously Hunter wins at all aspects, but if you know how to use Viking as best as can, then it can beat all hulls, just need a bit of thinking and imagination.
Viking M3 unlocks at rank and there aren't a lot of changes compared to other M3 hulls, but it's used more than Hunter,because of slightly more HPs and significantly more stable, reasonable speed(although less than Hunter). At battles where M3 players play, we can see a lot of players, who use Viking with Vulcan, Ricochet, Twins, Thunder - and I think that they are actually the best turrets for it and they are made for Vikings game-play. Let's move to the last piece of Minotaur kit - paint Rhino.
 
 

Rhino

Rhino unlocks on Rank Lieutenant Colonel [Rank rank=21] and to be fair, the paint is quite useless. It has 30% protection from Vulcan and Hammer and only 6% from Firebird. Of course, if enemies have few Vulcan or hammers it's good, but as far as I have seen, then mostly they are less than all other turrets in battle. Rhino is one of the best paints for Vulcan/Hammer format and sadly no one makes that kind of battles.
 

Conclusion

 
Minotaur is insane killing machine, if you have good paint with it, because Rhino is only good for getting away from mighty Vulcan's and penetrating Hammer's. Twins is insane non-stop turret with brick on it and a little bit of supplies using and looking around the map. Viking has awesome protection which is compensated with his slow speed. 
Also Minotaur as any other kit or combo is awesome when you use it in games with friends, having fun or making takeovers. And sadly after Tanki 7th anniversary Minotaur was removed from our garages forever, but as I had already made most of review, I thought that I should post this article anyway!

Very, very good review. I would recommend a little more proofreading to correct minor grammatical errors. Besides that, I thoroughly enjoyed the article.

Viking is the heaviest hull of Medium hulls in tanki. :)

That depends on whether you consider Dictator to be medium or heavy.

as far as I have heard and seen on eSport rules, Dictator is still medium hull. Only on TX Dictator will be heavy. :)

Checked all resources that I can find and I am really sorry for making false statements. Dictator is Medium hull and therefor, Viking is 2nd heaviest hull. Messed up TX with Tanki Online. TX will have it as heavy, not Medium.

:(  Wait so is it confirmed that those old kits got removed for good? Or are they just on a different cycle?

I tried to search Minotaur on Tanki Wiki, but couldn't find anything. Even search option couldn't find anything named as the kit. So looks like few might been replaced by other kits...
