Microchange. The first series Mini-bots were part of Microman, not Diaclone: they were Super-Deformed Penny Racers.
Top 5 Priorities:
1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)
Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

I can see Im not the only person who has trouble getting on TFwiki. I remember penny racers when I was a kid. Although, I thought the "penny" part was pointless. Ive heard of Microman. But this still doesnt explain why only Gears gets targeted with a big "M". Ive never seen the "M" on Brawn, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, or Huffer. (The 4 other 1984 mini-bot molds)Werent they all Microman or just Gears ?

Nope, Swerve has the shades on him, Bladey.

That's what I was thinking as well, but when I magnified his head, and then compared it to Swerve, I noticed differences. One example is what XDMan pointed out; Gears lacks the "shades" that Swerve has.

Gears and Swerve have the M stamped on their hoods above the radiator. Brawn and Outback have theirs underneath the Autobot symbol on their hoods, particularly hard to see because of the aforementioned sticker. Huffer and Pipes have their symbols pressed into their doors.

If that thing were released I'd hope that reddish colour on him gets replaced with actual red... y'know.. like Gears... otherwise fantastic.

I'd like to see a tad bit more red on the vehicle.
