    I hope this doesn't mean Jada won't be doing any more Nano Hollywood Rides Transformers. I was hoping they would eventually get to doing the sets they teased last year. Also, I liked that the Jada vehicles are diecast and a bit better with their proportions compared to MicroMachines. MM tend to have wheels that are too large. But, the MM shown in this thread don't look too bad actually. I'm always down for some micro scaled jets, helicopters, and tanks for sure.

    I'm still waiting on Hot Wheels level size and accuracy for TF vehicles. Speed Stars almost had it, but they were plastic, kind of junky, and had weird proportions for a lot of them. Just give me this in yellow with black stripes, Hasbro:

    Did you just write an entire paragraph on why people should not buy Micro Machines? They're not meant for you ofc.

    (You saw them because they're still selling so they're still getting made.)

    On the bright side, I got to read his comment because of ur needless reply.

    He kinda has a point.

    And so do u!

    Im surprised these are popular w u guys, personally. I mean, I love Micro Machines, but even I find these to be unnecessary. Guess I like the transforming cargo planes and cities enough to not require licensed TF cars in my playsets.

    *David Attenborough voice* Here we see the a fledgling Blackout. In this current moment he is far too small and incapable of defending himself. But as you can see Blackout is not alone. A lone Brawl, large of stature and quite a fierce specimen. None dare approach this duo while Brawl is around.

    *Turret starts turning* Oh dear it would seem we've been spotted. Right, Gerald back to the Jeeps. Quickly now quickly....*Lots of shaky camera movements and winded breathing*

    Not really a fan of the wheel choices for these guys, but depending on how they release these I'm down for Jetfire, Sideswipe, Blackout, and Brawl.

    I do have to say that tank mode for Megs was always kind of wonky but this one just looks like mush with wings and treads............like Unicrons booger!! Definitely the weakest mold of the lot.

    Honestly that'd be the perfect excuse for Hasbro to bring back Z-bots. Look at how many things they could throw into it. All those beastie cons from RID15 that never got any love, Gestalts, City bots, Scraplets, Kremzeek, Pretenders, all the things I was thinking of a week ago and now my brain can't remember.........

    *Looks up Z-Bots*

    Oh!, now that's interesting, they even come in packs in threes. Perhaps they could take some elements from the Tiny Turbo Chargers. Come to think of it, they are basically a similar concept.

    I just wish Micro Machines didn't change their style and size when hasbro took them over. I was a huge collector of them, and their aesthetic was one of the things that made them special.

    Probably because they are meant to all be about the same size, not the same scale. And yes, here's hoping that this is an ongoing line, not just a one and done thing!

    Just a shame because they've made the cars smaller than the trucks and the bikes smaller than the cars. But I guess there's an upper limit given they're 'micro'.

    YES 100000% would love little square folding TF themed playsets "blocks" or "yards" that could connect! with puzzle type connections.

    There are so many city bots and bases in the history of TF that they could find a few to convert in to playsets like this. Even if they aren't "scaled."

    Hell, back in the day Micromachines made giant airplanes that could haul a few dozen cars around. Bring those back and theme them Astrotrain for Cons and Sky Lynx for Autobots.
