I can recognise two of those now you say the names. And Big Daddy. I can name most stand-alones like Countdown and Flattop, specifically because of catalogues. But of the multipacks, my naming ability bottoms out, just like with most nebulons and minicons. I get Roadhandler and Roadhugger mixed up due to the similarity of their names and both being micromasters. But I know the red one is named one of those. Can't pick the otherone out of a lineup, though. -Tote (I can name him because of Movie 1 Inferno repaint of Armada Red Alert is a Tote homage) -Whisper (No clue why I can name him) -Sunrunner (No clue why I can name him) -Big Daddy (Because Fandome made a big deal about his name) -Fixit (Non-Ratchet Doctors are rare) -Hot House (Stand alone) -Countdown (Stand alone) -Erector (Because Fandome made a big deal about his name) -Overload (Stand alone) -Flattop (Stand alone) -Skystalker (Stand alone) -Neo Wheel (for some odd reason that's probably exclusively due to TFU's "by color" search) I think those are the only ones I can definitively name if you showed me their toys. Greasepit and Ironworks- I can't remember if these are the multipack names or the city playset repaint names. |

Yeah something that obvious must be hard for a conspiracy theorist to see.

Thinking about this .... How many of the original individual Micromasters can you name and identify without resorting to a book/tfu/tfwiki? For me it's Erector, Flattop, Seawatch, Fixit and Hot Rodimus. I know that Hothouse and Ironworks come with bases but can't say which ones are which, and I think the last two transports are Overload and Roughtstuff. And Tailwind & Blackout are jets but I'm not sure which. That's it.
Oh and Skystalker & Countdown There's a Sporcle for that. It's only the original Patrols and Combiner Squads, none of the bases or Japanese ones. I got 40/72. |

I agree with Ralph and the rest of the universe. Micromasters are their own characters.

Micromasters have little to no profile information on their backing cards, very little comic/cartoon usage, and there's blinking loads of them. The shear number works against them! As I've said, many times before, I think they would have worked better as the original 1984 characters in new smaller forms.
