If you've been collecting the latest sets from Jazwares you probably thought series 6 was the end of the basic car line. We got a great Transformers line early last year but nothing new from the main car line. It looked to me like the line was ending. I was happy to get the new micros from Jazwares but I wanted to see more car manufacturers in micro size Entertainment News International (ENI) is the #1 popular culture network for adult fans all around the world. Micro Machines are a line of toys originally made by Galoob (now part of Hasbro) in the mid-1980s and throughout the 1990s. Micro Machines are tiny scale component style "playsets" and vehicles that are slightly larger than N scale.

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. 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.

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?

I was just a bit too old to get into Micromachines when they came out initially, but I know they were amazingly popular.

Maybe it's already an established connecting configuration with other MM playsets? Something that they're just starting to have for MM "blind" boxes that work as a "build your own base" pieces that get people hooked on building bigger bases (great idea BTW if that's so)?

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". 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.
