First Look at Possible Upcoming Transformers Micro Machines

These would scale nicely with Unicron if nothing else.

And look nicer than some of the old Titanium toys.

I think they're doing the first two movies, not just RotF. If you look closely there's a first movie Starscream without the "tattoos", there's two different Primes, one of which looks like it's covered in sand, and there's three different Bumblebees (yellow, dark yellow, and clear). Since Micro Machines come in three packs I'm guessing they're doing at least two for each movie if they even bother splitting them up in the first place.

In the pictures we see:

Transformers:
-Optimus prime
-Bumblebee
-Starscream
-Ratchet
-Blackout
-Jazz

ROTF:
-Optimus Prime
-Bumblebee
-Starscream
-Megatron
-Jetfire
-Arcee Sisters
-Sideswipe

???:
-clear Bumblebee

I'm guessing we can count on a ROTF Ratchet as well. Might actually buy these. Also mixed in is an unpainted A-Team van at the bottom of the Bee photo.

They are Micro Machines ™️. That’s what they are.

Like Hot Wheels, only quite a bit smaller.

Do any of you miss Transformers themed playsets? Well, Wicked Toys, who makes Micro Machines, has something for you. We now have an image and product descpription for an upcoming Mico Machines Playset which is disguised as a Camaro. This is our first revealed set but we know there are a lot of Transformers Micro machines coming, you can check out some photos below from e-bay listings. They will be in stores in Spring (so March/April). While it will be mainly movie versions, there are rumoured to be some G1 releases as well.

Micro Machines Bumblebee Playset

This Transformers Bumblebee playset comes disguised as a Chevrolet Camaro, which kids can transform into an Autobot garage featuring more than 10 action zones. Kids can navigate three floors of ramps and roadways and combine Bumblebee with other Micro Machines playsets. The set includes an exclusive Decepticon Barricade Micro Machines vehicle.

Price: $34.99
Age: 4+
Release: Spring 2022

This looks pretty neat.

Day 785 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

It makes sense to start with a character that they know kids will buy, get enough of these sold and the rest will come.

I'm more interested in the fact that they've based these off tfe live action movie vehicles.

I wonder how many pre-existing Micro Machine vehicle molds they were able to re-use.

Pretty much the same reason; the movies (and whatever recent TV show is on, on a smaller scale) are far more recognisable for the wider, non-fan audience than other continuities.

I'm personally not a fan of Micro Machines or other "licensed" iterations of Transformers (yeah, I know they're part of Hasbro too now, but you get what I mean), but this seems actually cool. Kinda wonder how good the Camaro form looks, though.

This is a surprising sighting. Not only is this the first sighting for the Transformers Micro Machine products, it is also the first time we learn of this particular product's existence. These are mystery playsets that unfold into 6 different sets that interconnect with one another, similar to the Pocket Playsets advertised by Blurr's voice actor John Moschitta Jr back in the day (you can see the ad for reference below). Each mini playset comes with a car.

Now there has been a lot of confusion online from people unaware of the distinction between Micro Machines and Micro Masters. Micro Machines are not a Transformers subline and never were. 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. So for those wondering why start with the Bayverse looks, well some molds were already available.

The blind playsets seen below were found at a Target in California for $8.00 each and the sighting was posted by Autobase Aichi.

This looks very cute, maybe I'll check my local target to see if they're in stock yet.
