    retail for these things is way, way higher than it should be. you could get 3-4 hotwheels... or a pack of 3 micro machines.

    G1 Blurr’s VA is John Moschitta, who was in the early MicroMachines commercials.

    the guy who voiced Blurr in the G1 cartoon was the micro machine man in their commercials. John m… I can’t spell his last name.

    Because the original Micro Machine spokes person in the commercials was also the voice of Blurr.

    I would have loved to get this as a kid.  Micromasters were the bomb.  Frankly, I still love tiny toys.  They look good, they don\'t take up much room, they\'re usually cheap, and quite novel.

    Man, this would be awesome IF it worked with the Siege/Earthrise Micromasters. However, after some testing the scale with modern Micromachines and Micromasters does not line up: the Micromasters are still a bit too large. It's a shame, this is something would have gone for otherwise.

    micromachines sell for £6 for a pack of 3, and £10 for a pack of 5. i'd say they could have done 3 spy-changers-level transformers at the £10 pricepoint.

    I have the Jada G.I.Joe set at home; too bad this isn't just slightly bigger. It could do double duty for Micromasters and MicroMachines.
    Might try to make it work anyways; I have a few of the Dr. Wu Micromasters and they seem a little smaller than official ones.
    Maybe the G1 Jada figures would look good on this set.

    Scale is a lie specially in micro sized transformers. But I think Micromachines are less than half the length of car Micromasters.
    I'm sure they will look good standing on the ramps with the guns, but they are probably too big to drive on the ramps, specially the curves.

    These toys are about 1/3 the size of micromasters.

    I got excited until I realized that they were based on bayverse... what a waste. G1 or even RotB-inspired vehicles would be great, the former would certainly be more collectable. I used to collect Micro Machines when I was a kid, especially the Star Wars stuff.

    Same here.

    While I don't hate Bayverse, but G1 is the only thing I buy now.
