I've got to give this one to the Sea Microns. The purple colour is great, and works really well as part of a unified scheme. It gives them a sort of "wearing frogman suits" look. They also go absolutely wonderfully with Shockwave too.

Originally this week was CD Microns and next week was DVD Microns.... except there is a VERY different approach to DVDs 2-13 as opposed to DVD 1. Since we're voting on the toys not the media it made sense to put the three three packs together and then have the 12 individual Microns with DVDs next week This is who they're repaints of: CD Opening Theme Street Action Team Anime Colour | | | | | | | Street Action Team (MM-01 Street Action Micron) | | | | | | | CD Ending Theme Air Defense Micron Blue Colour | | | | | | | Air Defense Team (MM-02 Air Defense Micron) | | | | | | | DVD 1 Super Stunt Micron | | | | | | | Street Speed Team (MM-06 Street Speed Micron) | | | | | | |

This poll has made me realise/remember that the CDs are where I got my versions of these Minicons from! Nice.

I'd love a set of the anime colours Street Action Team. The best minicon team.

They were being very generous to themselves calling the Street Action team a new colour scheme - it just looks like someone adjusted the contrast sliders a little. My vote's for the cars this week, just because I'm bored of voting for the planes...

They were being very generous to themselves calling the Street Action team a new colour scheme - it just looks like someone adjusted the contrast sliders a little. Oh yes. Especially when it's not the only other very slightly different shade of this team out there Street Action Team (MM-01 Street Action Micron) | | | | | | | Kabaya V1 Street Action Micron | | | | | | | CD Opening Theme Street Action Team Anime Colour | | | | | | |
My vote's for the cars this week, just because I'm bored of voting for the planes... I've never really got on with the cars, though this is probably their best deco: Street Speed Team (MM-06 Street Speed Micron) | | | | | | | Armada Beasts | | | | | | | Unreleased Unicron Battles Street Speed Team | | | | | | | DVD 1 Super Stunt Micron | | | | | | | Micron Legend Store Exclusive Overdrive Micron | | | | | | | Unreleased Energon Ultra Magnus' Courier Mini-Con Team | | | | | | | Cybertron Street Speed Team | | | | | | | Micron Booster 3 Highway Domination Micron | | | | | | |
But the planes... finally a full blown clear recolour, and it looks FAB! So it gets my vote and not just because it's the last appearance of this version of the team (cars have one more before they get remoulded, street action one more before they get a new version..... but from our POV we'll see the new version first) |

Finishes tomorrow.
DVD 1 is currently beating both CDs.... tomorrow we will look at the other 12 DVDs which represent slightly less value for money for the Minicon collectors.

The DVD set is definitely the most interesting to my eyes.
The only one I've owned is the closing theme CD, which I never even opened. I regret selling it on though, but only because I sold it sealed for about £20 and boy does it not go for that kind of price any more.

Japanese DVDs were not cheap, even back in 2003 A full bonus Minion team might have been enough to get me to buy dvd1 - iirc I was gifted a copy - but a single Minicon wasn't enough for me to buy the other 12. Here's who was repainted from who for the entire DVD range DVD 1 Super Stunt Micron | | | | | | | Street Speed Team (MM-06 Street Speed Micron) | | | | | | | DVD 2-4 Speed Chaser Micron | | | | | | | Race Team (MM-05 Race Micron) | | | | | | | DVD 5-7 Sonic Assault Micron | | | | | | | Air Military Team (MM-11 Air Military Micron) | | | | | | | DVD 8-10 Aqua Raider Micron | | | | | | | Sea Team (MM-15 Sea Micron) | | | | | | | DVD 11-13 Hazard Micron | | | | | | | Emergency Team (MM-20 Emergency Micron) | | | | | | |

You can’t top the taste of a Twirl! And indeed, whilst there are some striking colour schemes in this set of repaints, like Tailside, Falcia and Quench, there’s just something about Twirl which means they get my vote.

You know, I don't think I've even got any recollection of seeing photo's of most of these before. Good grief I love them. They have a particular aesthetic to most of them that is really striking. I am very pleased that they exist. I am a bit torn between Twirl and Falcia I think. Both of them have very strong, bold, aesthetics and are quite visually appealing. I think in the end though Falcia takes my vote. Very Female-Rider coded in a lot of ways - the pastel colours, the gubbins above the head in the humanoid mode looking like ribbons hanging down from some sort of banner pole... I can just see her throwing punches and spin-kicks in some familiar plaza, semi-derelict factory or those football stadium steps!
SO, anyway, Falcia.

I've actually forgotten to vote recently as I lost interest in all these slightly different Minicons.
But I am making sure I vote again like a responsible adult this week because one of them is called Crack.

I've actually forgotten to vote recently as I lost interest in all these slightly different Minicons. As I said this is the last of the Armada/Micron Legend Minicon polls. There's some more uses of the original Armada teams to come in Universe, Micron Boosters for Superlink & Galaxy Force, promos for Galaxy Force and in Cybertron. But they're not for a while yet and nowehere near as repetitive as the last few weeks. It is making me think about how to do the Movie lines and their slightly tweaked versions again...... |

You're not giving us hope, only to snatch it away at the last minute, are you, Phil? You wouldn't do that to us, would you, Phil? Would you..? Anyway, whatever the case, these are a very uninspiring bunch colours wise. I think I'll go with Undergrove Crush, just because that's the only one that seems to have any visual interest whatsoever. Some very odd choices here by Takara... |
