Alternity Megatron

Alternity Megatron Premium Le Mans Blue arrived today! http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Megatron_(G1)/toys#Alternity

Masterpiece Soundwave

This guy is pretty brilliant. He looks great and transforms well. Ratbat is pretty great as well.

Device Label Ravage

Device Label Ravage is a functioning USB drive. Only available in Japan.

Ga'Mede

This guy was only available with Magnificus. Note the painted head which is very unusual for Microman figures.

Legends Trailbreaker meets G1 Trailbreaker

Encore Trailbreaker meets Reveal the Shield Trailbreaker.

Inferno

I got this guy loose on ebay and I'm pretty sure he he the Japanese white box reissue since he has blue eyes. I was able to get a Diaclone driver for him from another web store. The green driver is the correct driver for the mold that became Inferno.

Flip Sides

Flip Sides is an ehobby exclusive repaint of the classic Eject/Rewind mold. She was included with Twincast. The character is intended to be a Decepticon double agent which is pretty interesting.

Magnificus

A great repaint of what was already a pretty great toy. This guy is Japan only version of Perceptor in the colors of his original Microman release. He is an evil Microscope which I find kind of funny.

Twincast

Twincast is Blaster's rebuilt form after battling to the death with Soundwave. This is the reissue which was an eHobby exclusive.

Blaster

This is the Japanese Re-Issue of the classic Blaster toy. He is seriously big and carries a very big gun.

BT06 Yellow Tracks

My latest recruit.



I like the unique coloring. I already had the Blue version in Alternators form. Maybe this should be a different character?

Ironhide and Ratchet get heads!

Sorry about the bad pic. I'm still having flash photography issues...

Last year I picked up the Encore reissues of Ironhide and Ratchet which included a cardboard piece that could be slotted in to give them heads. It was a nice idea but could have been taken a bit further. Now behold! Best Toys have produced heads for them which I was able to obtain off ebay. The heads add a substantial amount of cartoon accuracy to the toys and really transform them into something special.

A303 Blue Star

Original Acroyear, accept no substitutes. Note the die cast chest which gives him a nice heft when you hold him.

He also has a very strange vehicle mode where you take off his lover legs, stick a wheel between his knees and attach alternate arms that end in wheels.

One of these days I'm going to hunt down some of the other color variants of him. I'd love to get the convention exclusive "Birth of Acroyear" set which features a green translucent Microman and Acroyear.

M144 Howard

Microman Spy Magician, not pictured magic wand and cuffs (serious, not a joke). They are still on a sprue and I am feeling guilty about removing them. At the time I was aquiring these guys getting a Spy Magician figure on ebay was very frustrating. I got outbid so many times. When I look at him I'm not entirely sure why I bothered. Sure he is an OK figure but he doesn't speak to me like some of the others.

Soundwave (Encore)

Soundwave is one of my favorite characters from G1. He has a unique and unforgettable voice and had the distinction of being both loyal to Megatron and competent. Soundwave was originally a Microman toy in the Microchange subline as were Laserbeak and Ravage.

015 Robotman Cross

New Robotman for the 1999 Microman series. I have the deluxe version which includes a number of extra magnetic attachments.

If you attach them all he does look somewhat silly however. Still, a nice figure with the ever entertaining magnetic gimmick.

AX-14 AcroBiom

Words really can't describe how cool this toy looks but as with many of its brethren it is somewhat weak and the joints struggle to support the weight of its gear.

AX-11 AcroScorl

Another cool Acroyear. He has the interchangeable hand and weapon gimmick like the larger Henshin Cyborg toys.

MK-08 Mr. Kamen

This guy seems to be able to suck you life force or perhaps soul through a straw. An alternate head with plastic straw is provided for this purpose.

MK-01 Kinikuman

Kinikuman also known as Kid Muscle in the english dub of the Anime. I really like the design of the Microman wrestler body. It gives the figure a bit more substance and heft and also adds some extra articulation.
