Yeah, it would have made more sense not to put the symbols on the vehicles, that why they decoder gimmick makes sense and they could also blend in better with other micro machine vehicles

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian EvasionModeBumblebee, we have news that the initial bout of the new Transformers Micro Machines figures are up for preorder on Amazon. These sets include the previously leaked Bumblebee playset featuring the toy Camaro that transforms into a Micro Machines base, as well as some box sets that include a pair of dioramas and 8 figures, the first being a 2007 movie set, the 2nd a Revenge of the Fallen set, all using the classic stock art for the characters.

You can check out the links to the preorders below, and let us know if you intend to get any of these in the comments section below!

Did anyone forget that the G2 Go-Bots such as Megatron, Optimus Soundwave and the others were compatible with Matchbox and Micro Machines race tracks?

Matchbox and Hot Wheels yes, not Micro Machines, they were too big

Even Micromasters are just barely compatible. People not familiar don't seem to really grasp just how small Micro Machines are.

Greetings fellow Seibertronians!

Courtesy of Autobase Aichi and @MilitaryMicros (the original source of the pictures), we have some early images of the as yet unreleased Micromachines G1 Optimus Prime Hauler Playset for you! The set contains a non-transforming Optimus Prime cab, as well as a trailer, which can detach from the cab and unfold to form the playset. The set also comes with a G1 Tracks Micromachine, which is naturally compatible with the playset's interactive features, including a rotating stand that conceals a Micromachine within. Looking forward to adding this to your Transformers/Micromachines collection, or thinking of taking a pass? Let us know in the comments!

Check out the images below!

Not official MicroMachines (then it's not the real thing!), but saw micro Transformers and GI Joe vehicles by Jada called Nano Hollywood Rides the other day. (Would attach a picture I took but I don't see a button for it here.) Haven't seen a post for them, so thought I would share.

I honestly want this just for the micro-Tracks!

News Credits: 1 · Mon Aug 01, 2022 5:30 pm

This hits a weird niche in my nostalgia triggers. Like a false positive. I will be on the look out for it!

Mon Aug 01, 2022 5:33 pm

Ooh, Micro machines are back? I remember seeing that they popped up agian when the Star Wars Sequal trilogy first started but then seemed to disapear again.

Tue Aug 02, 2022 8:12 am

I need to see how compatible Micromasters are with that.

Seconded!

Regarding Micromaster compatibility, though, I think they'd be too big. If memory serves, Micromasters have always been bigger than Micro Machines.

I keep seeing the Bumblebee set, and I have been tempted a couple times by it, it's neat

I ordered two on Amazon yesterday and they are being delivered today!

I just got mine today. Just wanted to share a size comparison with the Bumblebee play set. Obviously there is a big difference in size. It would have been cool if the OP playset was the larger one, rather than the Bumblebee playset.

I haven’t applied the stickers yet but you can see how i have it attached with the Bumblebee playset. In regards to the trailer, just like the G1 trailer the stabilizer arms flip out and support the half’s of the trailer, a nice touch. I like on the OP playset you can garage other Autobots; fitting five there. The hidden escape hatch is pretty neat. The car just snaps onto the tabs and stays securely in place.

Overall not a bad playset to have.

I'm surprised they couldn't figure out anything to do with the truck portion.

I totally agree, that would be one downfall of this playset.

Just picked this up today at a local Target in Branson, MO. They only had the one set (#07) of the second series.

Happy hunting,

Still haven't seen any Transformers Micromachines in stores and I've looked several times. I know I can buy them off Amazon, but I'd like to see them in person first.

I hear you on that. The one Target close to me still has the first series, or at least the last time I was in there. In fact that store still had plenty of the blind box sets.

Huh, neat. i have been avoiding the Micros simply because I do not need to collect something else, but it has been hard to resist

We have news that the second series of Transformers Micromachine blind box sets has been found in the US. These were found at an unspecified Target. As before, only half of these blind boxes contain a Transformers vehicle. An image was found on Facebook showing the placement of the cars within the blind box case and it gives you an idea of the characters found along with the codes and character list. Oddly, the Optimus vehicle in this set is not the one shown in the stock image on the side of the box (Western Star vs a Peterbilt truck).

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

This sighting was originally posted here by Metal Uzaki.

That's interesting for sure. Im still trying to spot the Series 2 4 packs. Actually I've found 2 of the 4 in my neck of the woods but that's it.

Thanks for the heads up Will.
