Or they're like a transector for the smaller versions. I used to use minicons paired with them as the minicon was 'the real' micromaster and the bigger ones were, as said, just a bigger power up for playing with the bigger guzzlers.

Plus, the Movie redecos were originally for Universe 2008
I love Micromasters, so any homage to them is fair game for me.

They still make them.

And if I may add, they're the reason why Erector needs a name change

A couple more PCCs (Sabrblade'll know the names!) were meant to homage Mudslinger and the white one from the Hot Rod Patrol, or so I heard. HFTD(?) Oil-Pan was also said to be a nod to Skystalker. Oh, and that white Universe Powerglide looked a lot like Hothouse.

That was always hilarious to me. They can't use Erector not because of... teehee giggle, but because someone else is using it.
It's my favourite thing.

Interesting thing is they probably were only able to use the name Erector at the time because the toy brand kept getting juggled from one toy company to another thanks to rapid buy outs.
-Early '80s the brand was bought by Ideal Toys
-'82 Ideal was bought by CBS Toys
-'87 Ideal was sold to View-Master International forming View-Master Ideal
-'89 VMI was bought by Tyco Toys
-'90 Meccano bought the Erector brand
If things weren't so crazy there's a chance that Hasbro wouldn't have gotten away with it.
