Appropriate Minion for a Summoner?

Looking for former summons throughout the franchise that are available as minions. The only one I own is the Wind-up Moogle, which I love, but I'd like to find something less common.

Sadu as a summon when?

Toy Alexander, since it cannot be summoned in this game yet has appeared in enough games.

Well there's:
-Minion/Wind-up version of all the Primals from ARR, HW, and SB
-A bunch of different Chocobo Chick minions
-Cactuar Cutting
-Wind-up Tonberry
-Fenrir Pup
-Atrophied Atomos
-Toy Alexander
-The Peridot and Heliodor Carbuncles
-Wind-up Ixion
-Eden Minor
-Wind-up Magus Sisters (They're not the Sisters from X though)
-Wind-up Anima
-While not past summons, there are two past summoner minions in the cash shop: Wind-up Rydia and Wind-up Yuna

Don't forget Greg (Gilgamesh) :)

Clockwork Twintania, but you had to complete 24 challenges of Verminion :)

You can't get any more on the nose than Wind-Up Rydia.

Could also argue Conditional Virtue is based on a primal as well..

Page 63 would also be thematic for the job, though not quite fitting for a "summon."

This is what I use. The challenge isnt bad either with a basic guide. You only need 2 minions to do it fast.

Wind-up Alexander, because SE are cowards and won't give me a Demi-Alexander summon.

Fenrir pup, then get fenrir mount

Wind-up Bahamut, even though he does have half a Maltezer stuck on him and looks more silly than threatening...

Also he's been unattainable since 2015 so I guess that's out.

Wind-up Shinryu would be a fitting alternative.
