Never Before Seen Transformers Micro Machines Playsets Found at US Retail

If they made these compatible/connectable with the WFC Earthrise modulators like Ironworks, that would be awesome, and give us something to do with those figures....

I was just a bit too old to get into Micromachines when they came out initially, but I know they were amazingly popular. I did get some of the Star Wars themed MM later, especially those that focused on EU novels.

I'd like to see a review. I'd be more interested in MM of characters based on the original series as opposed to the Live Action movies, but we shall see how extensive this line gets. It might be fun.

Or, we're projecting what we really, really hope to be the case

Honestly, we can just put them next to eachother. While connecting is fun, it's sometimes cumbersome. I was trying to put a bunch of Earthrise bases together with my son and some just weren't really working out, so I just stuck them close together. We still had a blast (off!, we had 2 shuttle launches, a baby one and a big one)

They came out after Micro Masters or before? I'm curious as to which inspired the other.

These remind me of the MM Travel City pocket playsets, only larger and more complex, so color me intrigued. I still have my pocket playsets. Anyone have the Heliport they want to sell me?

Anyway, it seems the included vehicle is random, but are the playsets themselves labeled, or is that "blind" also, because that would be a terrible idea!

They are a different toy made of very tiny cars and playsets, not made by Hasbro (the Transformers products we are seeing and in this article are only licensed from Hasbro). Ownership of the brand has changed throughout the years but those miniature cars are still around today and they have already released many small cars, including a Chevrolet Camaro, which you can currently buy at Target or elsewhere.

I think there's a little confusion here or maybe the wording is just confusing since it seems to imply Hasbro doesn't own Micro Machines and Wikipedia definitely has their info wrong. Hasbro still owns Micro Machines and has since they bought Galoob in 1998. Jazzwares currently makes them under license from Hasbro. Hasbro copyright still show up on new images. On Amazon it says "MICRO MACHINES is used with permission. (c) 2021 Hasbro. All Rights Reserved. Licensed by Hasbro" on regular Jazware's products. This makes the Transformers Micro Machines probably a very expensive pair of licenses for them, no wonder why they're starting out the line with easy cash grab blind boxes.

Nothing is implied, just stating facts. Hasbro is not making these micro machines

Right, but saying "Ownership of the brand has changed throughout the years" implies multiple changes since Hasbro bought Galoob in '98.

Emerje

Why? It was with Galoob and now it isn't because ownership of the brand has changed since then. Maybe it's because english is a second language for me but I don't see anything incorrect in what is written.
