Honourable mentions: Skystalker (love the base mode, but by itself the actual MM has something), Flattop (the only Transport that dosn't tow) & Roughstuff (MM Onslaught surely?) 5) ShotbomberI have two official Japanese Micromasters. This is one and like his fellow Japanese only pack in toys he's very different to most ofthe western MMs having a sort of sci fi futuristic vehicle theme. 4) OverloadMM Prime or Magnus depending on how you want to repaint it, but a fun toy. So very nearly bought it as a youngster. 3) ErectorErector wins the battle of the Transports in the top 5 purely because his trailer becomes a mini base and the crane hook can mount on his flatbed. Some decent play value here, and again nearly got bought in my youth. 2) Robotmasters SaberA controversial choice? Is he actually a Micromaster? I'd say yes: he's the right size, with identical articulation and can stand on the Micromaster footpegs. Makes me want a Micromaster God Ginrai which works in a similar way. 1) Hot RodimusI've said several times how I was never a Micromaster fan as a younger person. The first time I saw a Japanese catalogue sheet with this on it blew my mind. Smaller versions of older characters? This was what Micromasters was missing. Yes there's some liberties, mainly where the fin ends up in robot mode but apart from that there are worse Hot Rod toys.

Heck, even Monstructor has more right to be classed as a Micromaster than the Robot Master figure!

Now we have had this kind of chat before. Remember when someone wanted to include toys that weren't sold as mini-cons as actual mini-cons and we had to say no. This Saber was not sold as a Micromaster therefore it cannot be a Micromaster!

If you can't live with RM Sabre then bump everyone up one and bring in Roughstuff.

You're not getting my point. I'm not debating how much RM Sabre is like a Micromaster. The point is that it was not released as a Micromaster toy. Therefore it cannot be in a Micromaster list in exactly the same way earlier in this thread toys that were like Mini-Cons could not be in the top 5 mini-con lists as they were not released as such. Very simple. Nothing complicated here.

Ralph is right. I couldn't have non-minicon toys of characters previously released as minicons so it's only fair that non-Micromaster toys can't be included as a micromaster no matter how Micromaster-y they are.

Week 151: Post Diaclone & Microchange Autobot Cars
Your top 5 Autobot Cars that weren't imported from Diaclone (84-5 Autobot cars) or Microchange (84 and most of the 86 Minibots), and also weren't one of their many repaints or remoulds.

Hasbro originated Autobot car moulds.

So basically, cars from the movie era onwards? And I assume, based on real world cars?

So cars from any TF era then?

Post by Philip Ayres on Mar 26, 2016 14:42:40 GMT
Yup. As Long as they're not the Diaclone or Microchange ones. So basically, cars from the movie era onwards? 86 Movie and onwards is a good guess but some Diaclone cars crop up after that and there's a few before that aren't Diaclone/Microchange in the 85 Minibots. And I assume, based on real world cars? As long as it's obviously a car like Hot Rod for example, Or Boss Or Vehicon, and not another vehicle.

I... think I understand now... I don't understand. Thank God it's not just me then. I think I know what Phil means though. Transformers were adapted from Diaclone so obviously a lot of the toys and characters that went on to be Transformers were already established. He's asking for any Transformer car that wasn't originally a Diaclone model.

Let's put in another way: Any Autobot car except a number from 1984-6 which are inherited from other Toylines:
These toys are from Diaclone:
Sideswipe & Red Alert Bluestreak, Prowl & Smokescreen Mirage Hound Ratchet & Ironhide Jazz & Stepper Sunstreaker Trailbreaker & Hoist Wheeljack Tracks & Road Rage Skids & Cross Cut Inferno, Grapple & Artfire
These toys from Microchange:
Bumblebee Cliffjumper & Hubcap Gears & Swerve Windcharger & Tailgate Huffer & Pipes Brawn & Outback
DO NOT VOTE FOR THESE TOYS. VOTE FOR ANY OTHER AUTOBOT CAR!
