A Grand Time


Siege, Earthrise. Both Transformers toy lines with heavy focus on Micromasters. Earthrise even makes a point for multiple Micromaster bases in it's ranks. Let's go a few lines back, Power of the Primes and Titans Return, also featuring small toy play. Titanmasters in fact had very similar play features and so may of the larger bots in Titans Return had base modes.

I'm making a badly formed case for Grandus to make his return. Look at him, a toy so wonderful they came up with a new way to say grand. He'd be perfect, he'd be wonderful, even grand. Honestly, I don't know why there isn't a Grandus sitting on the shelf of my local Walmart. Hasbro could be coy. They could disguise him as one of the G1 reissue line. The more legit members of society would get it. We'd know what the score is. I'd even go buy some grands biscuits to make it a thing. I'd have a grand ass day.

Microsized to maximize


The impeding rumors of Micromasters in the upcoming War For Cybertron Generations line just keep me in a state of hope and excitement that just cannot be contained. I keep thinking about possible scenarios where I have a money bin like Scrooge McDuck full of Micromasters that I swim around in and occasionally have to visit the Emergency Room to have them removed from my nose. The prospect of what's to come is just mind shattering (and pants shatting) in terms of stuff that I would really want. Then it hit me. Which was rude, I'd rather talk it out, but here I am with a black eye from an idea that I wear like a badge of honor.

The ongoing rumor also hints that the two main size classes in WFC will carry the Micromasters and Battlemasters. So, I think of integration, how if the bulk of the line is micro sized and if say the leader class would ultimately be gigantic in scale...
