    This is cute but they seriously need to make Micromasters who are actually Micromasters.

    Neat-ish. If Wu wants to ACTUALLY DO MICROMASTERS then I would be all in, but I rather not have just a Beachcomber that isn\'t in the chug scale.

    Looks neat, could work in a third party legends display, shame it doesn't have a gun though

    Now, something I'd like to know is if soundwave can fit in another soundwave like a cassette

    It would be a bit like animated soundwave then

    Agreed. It's just more early G1 navel staring as usual.
    Hopefully there will be genuine Micromasters forthcoming.

    Weird choice. Who would’ve thought they follow up Galvatron and Soundwave with Beachcomber?

    I’d much rather see more interesting character choices, but I may end up getting this as it does look nice

    This is quite adorable, and I don’t even like Beachcomber. But, if Dr Wu can do something really special with Cosmos, I’m probably down.

    I am definitely gunna try to fit the Wu’Blaster into my Siege Soundblaster, so we shall see.

    It's got an Iron Factory vibe to it IMO.

    I like it, but I have a soft spot for WST and these kinda fill that void. I am not sure I will get all of these, but I might grab Beachcomber. I never been a big fan of the Soundblaster deco.

    I would like MicroMasters with better articulation... and not necessarily Micro.

    Dr Wu can put headlights on a 6cm Beachcomber, but Magic Square couldn't put them on their larger one? :rolleyes: 

    These are cool. I hope they keep going with these and are able to put together a pretty broad lineup of good figures at this scale. They're great for going with collectors' Titans and bases, but what kid wouldn't love a pocket full of robots? My son would take these with him everywhere and then I'd have to help look for them.

    They could do weapons by making parts of these guys diecast and putting magnets in the weapons.

    This one I may actually buy! Reminds me of the toy and a mini version of a Mini Bot is just really tempting. The others I have no interest in.

    Definitely an odd choice but I’m liking how he looks so far.

    Gotta agree with the sentiment that I wish Dr Wu would do some actual Micromasters. At the very least complete all those teams that Hasbro didn’t.... and make the Micromaster partners for Star Convoy and Dai Altas.

    yeah if he focused on doing actual micromasters I'd be all in for this but just micro sized releases of regular cast members is a no go for me

    After seeing the OP test shot I like Beachcomber better.
    Also I'm glad he isn't doing actual Micromasters; I like the idea of mixing S1-S4 characters with the Hasbro Micromasters. Makes me wish I had some of the old bases or that Hasbro released more playsets like the original Micromaster line.
    I still have the Transformers Prime Driller and Wheeljack's ship. The Ark that was hinted at with the Kingdom promo should work nicely with Dr. Wu's OP and Beachcomber.
    And who knows, if these sell well maybe Dr. Wu will start making some of those missing Micromasters.

    I love these but I wish he would do the cartoon appearing Zone and Victory micro masters first

    Damn Dr WU gonna loose me with this stuff. They should keep doing Bayverse bots instead. 2007, movie frenzy, kitchen bots, and some of the more prominent humans in studio series scale.
