The buildable base pieces looks more fun than the Micro Machines.

Before I forget, these were found at the Millerville Target in Baton Rouge.

I wonder... Would these Micromachines be in scale with the Ark is spaceship mode?
Maybe a bit too big, but it may looks right still.

Just out of curiosity, but what was Hasbro thinking when they were designing the sets? Why wouldn't they have made the boxes cross-compatible and connectable to the Siege, Earthrise and Kingdom figures? I mean they're taking their own IP's and doing nothing to cross sell? Kind of a missed opportunity if you ask me. (But I know no one is.)

Well, if you judge by the red OP figure the size of a grain of rice that came with the Titan Class Kingdom Ark, no way these are in scale. But if you're talking about the DOTM Cyberverse Ark way back when then probably a Yes.

I thought the same. But I have no familiarity with Micro Machines at all so just wild guesses.
Maybe it's already an established connecting configuration with other MM playsets? Something that they're just starting to have for MM "blind" boxes that work as a "build your own base" pieces that get people hooked on building bigger bases (great idea BTW if that's so)? Or something having to do with patent?
I'm curious of the idea behind the base pieces than the TF figures. Hope some enlightening can be revealed by Hasbro in the future.
The OP MM looks great. I might get some if I chance upon these at retail just for curiosity sake (who am I kidding? Honestly it's to feed my plastic TF toy addiction,
).

They thought nothing because Hasbro did not make these sets. They are licensed only. Micro Machines already has their own pre existing connector system, so they kept it.

Exactly. In this case, both the Micro Machines and Transformers brands are licensed to Jazwares who actually produce these toys.

Are Micro Machines sold with other car toys like Hot Wheels?
Re: New In-Hand Images of Transformers Micro Machines Blind Boxes

Yes they are usually on the same aisle as Hot Wheels, Matchbox, etc.

Perfect opportunity for someone to make some connector accessories to make these compatible with TF connectors.

The Transformers Micro Machines have hit Amazon!
We have the Bumblebee playset we saw before:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0973HBL4J/re?tag=seibertron07-20& ... formers-20
A 2007 set with Optimus, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Jazz, Megatron, Starscream, Blackout, and Brawl:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0973HLWJX/re?tag=seibertron07-20& ... formers-20
And an ROTF set with a desert deco Prime, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Arcee, Elita-1, Jetfire, Megatron, and Starscream:
https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Machines-M?tag=seibertron07-20& ... formers-20
Seeing those renders on the box again (especially 07 Bee on the playset) brings warmth to my heart! I'm definitely picking up the 07 set.

The RotF set stock photo has Megatron facing the wrong way.

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
