For 3 to 4 years, Micro Machines was the largest selling toy car line in the US with total dollar sales exceeding the combined sales of the next top-selling lines: Hot Wheels, Matchbox and Majorette. Jazwares has announced that the rumored Transformers Micro Machines line will officially arrive this Spring. Variants such as battle-damaged Megatron, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and G1-colored Sideswipe are also “ rumored” to be included.

[ permanent dead link] Now there has been a lot of confusion online from people unaware of the distinction between Micro Machines and Micro Masters. Micro Machines are not a Transformers subline and never were. They are a different toy made of very tiny cars and playsets, not made by Hasbro (the Transformers products we are seeing and in this article are only licensed from Hasbro). Ownership of the brand has changed throughout the years but those miniature cars are still around today and they have already released many small cars, including a Chevrolet Camaro, which you can currently buy at Target or elsewhere. So for those wondering why start with the Bayverse looks, well some molds were already available. The Micro Machines brand was revived for a few years in response to the popularity of the similar Speedeez brand. Hasbro also opted to use many fantasy castings in the revival. The revival only lasted a couple of years.Micro Machines were featured in the 1990 Christmas movie Home Alone, starring Macaulay Culkin. In the movie, Culkin's character sets dozens of Micro Machines at the bottom of a flight of stairs as a hazard for a pair of bungling burglars. This trap was also featured in the Sega Genesis game, though it's referred to generically as "Toys".

Micro Machines Transformers Revenge of The Fallen Set - 8 Highly Detailed Vehicles - Autobots - Decepticons - More Than Meets The EyeEntertainment News International (ENI) is the #1 popular culture network for adult fans all around the world. With the release of the movie Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, Hasbro released a new set of themed Micro Machines. This second revival lasted only a year; no more sets were released after Rogue One. While the Micro Machines collection is known primarily for sizing down automobiles, it has also featured several playsets including 1991's fold-out Super Van City. Licensed character products would often be fold-open heads including miniature characters and vehicles interactive with their playset environment. Micro Machines also utilized several diverse features such as color-changing cars and "Private Eyes" vehicles that even allowed one to peek inside and view an illustration of the contents. TAAO wrote:Just out of curiosity, but what was Hasbro thinking when they were designing the sets? Why wouldn't they have made the boxes cross-compatible and connectable to the Siege, Earthrise and Kingdom figures? I mean they're taking their own IP's and doing nothing to cross sell? Kind of a missed opportunity if you ask me. (But I know no one is.) Right, but saying "Ownership of the brand has changed throughout the years" implies multiple changes since Hasbro bought Galoob in '98.

Clemens V. Hedeen, Jr. (Fun City USA / Hedeen International), Patti Jo Hedeen, Ned Cain (Fun Maker/Hedeen and Companies) One of the many Micro Machines product lines was the Insiders series. Incredibly popular in the late ’80s and early ’90s, the Insiders series featured a small vehicle inside the standard size Micro Machine. The body and chassis of the larger vehicle connected via a hinge. Opening the larger revealed the smaller, which was a different model of car.

In addition to the above, we have learned that variants such as ROTF Sideswipe (red), ROTF Sideswipe (red with G1 decals), and Megatron (battle-damaged) are also included in the lineup. I'm curious of the idea behind the base pieces than the TF figures. Hope some enlightening can be revealed by Hasbro in the future. Anyway, it seems the included vehicle is random, but are the playsets themselves labeled, or is that "blind" also, because that would be a terrible idea!
