<hr />
<div>The Micron Booster sets are Japanese-exclusive [[Mini-Con]]s, sold in individual, blind-packed boxes. The plastic bags inside the box were opaque black as well. As such, buyers did not know what Mini-Con was inside the box until they opened them.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Micron Booster Ver.0==<br />
[[Image:MBv0-box.jpg|right]]<br />
The first assortment of Micron Boosters was sold as part of the ''Micron Legend'' (the Japanese name for ''[[Armada]]'') series. The versions of the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]] and the [[Race Mini-Con Team]] in this assortment are cast in a slightly-sparkly plastic with slightly-sparkly paint, but are otherwise nearly identical to the standard retail releases.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ver.0 includes...<br />
<br />
:1. [[Rod]]<br />
:2. [[Atlas]]<br />

<br />
<br />
==Micron Booster Ver.1==<br />
New for the ''Super Link'' (Japanese ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'') series, the second assortment of Micron Boosters set the stage for the following waves. This time, the number of toys in the assortment brought up to twelve, and every single toy was [[redeco]]ed as a new character.<br />

<br />
<br />
Ver.1 includes...<br />
<br />
:1. [[Chrome]]<br />
:2. [[Thyristor]]<br />
:3. [[Synapse]]<br />
:4. [[Lens]]<br />
:5. [[Quantum]]<br />

:9. [[Solar]]<br />
:10. [[Torque]]<br />
:11. [[Crunch (Energon)|Crunch]]<br />
:12. [[Spoil]]<br />
<br />
Beacon, Lens and Quantum can combine to form the [[Blizzard Saber]].<br />
<br />
==Micron Booster Vol.2==<br />
The third Micron Booster set -still part of ''Super Link''- introduced the "chase" toy to the mix; only half of the cases had the "headliner" Mini-Con [[Saber]] in it. As such, a full set of twelve Mini-Cons went for considerably more on the secondary market than an incomplete set of 11 without Saber in it.<br />
[[Image:MBv2-box.jpg|right]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Vol.2 includes...<br />
<br />
:1. [[Saber (Energon)|Saber]]<br />
:2. [[Processor]]<br />
:3. [[Triac]]<br />
:4. [[Effect]]<br />
:5. [[Seeker_(Energon)|Seeker]]<br />
:6. [[Blitz]]<br />
:7. [[Cluster]]<br />
:8. [[Rotor (Energon)|Rotor]]<br />
:9. [[Groove (Energon)|Groove]]<br />
:10. [[Brake]]<br />
:11. [[Damper]]<br />
:12. [[Filter]]<br />
<br />
Brake, Damper and Filter can combine to form [[Frenzy (Energon)|Frenzy]].<br />
<br />
==Micron Booster Ver.3==<br />
The series continued with a single set in the ''Galaxy Force'' (Japanese ''[[Cybertron_(franchise)|Cybertron]]'') series. Unlike previous assortments, buying a case of twelve did ''not'' guarantee you all eleven of the "common" Mini-Cons. Though it has yet to be confirmed, this is most likely due to the four "partner" Mini-Cons in the assortment who were made in larger numbers than the others, due to being [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with their larger partners, who were part of the normal retail ''Galaxy Force'' line. As such, each case often had multiples of a couple of the "partners", missing some of the others, on top of the one-in-every-two-cases chaser piece [[Bug General]].<br />
[[Image:MBv3-box.jpg|right]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Ver.3 includes...<br />
<br />
:1. [[Bug General]]<br />
:2. [[Bug Drone]]<br />
:3. [[Gauge]]<br />
:4. [[Clamp]]<br />
:5. [[Trigger]]<br />
:6. [[Wrench]]<br />
:7. [[Socket]]<br />
:8. [[Plier]]<br />
:9. [[Bit]]<br />
:10. [[Dice]]<br />
:11. [[Jack (Cybertron)|Jack]]<br />
:12. [[Bluttplug]]<br />
<br />
==Micron Booster Ver. 4: Endless Battle - ''Eternal Prisoner''==<br />
In 2007, Takara brought back the Micron Booster series with a set of redecoes using the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' Mini-Con molds (which had not been released in Japan previously). This set was available only at Japanese Circle K, Sunkus, Three F and Lawson stores. As far as chase pieces go, this set ups the ante by having ''two'' chases, [[Detectus]] and [[Chromebite]], with only one of those two in a single case. Because there are only ten individuals in a case of twelve, that means two duplicates in any single case.<br />
<br />
Although the title and subtitle for the series suggest some sort of story associated with the toys, the only known fiction is from the shipping/display case: "The battle between the Cybertrons and Destrons never ends. A new battle of the Micron Warriors has begun." <br />
<br />
This series uses the "classic" ''Transformers'' logo, so presumably it takes someplace in the Japanese [[Generation 1]] [[continuity]]. With the inclusion of characters bearing the [[Maximal]] and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] sigils, probably in a "transitional" period near the beginning of the [[Beast Era]].<br />
<br />
This assortment includes...<br />
<br />
:1. [[Radrogue]]<br />
:2. [[Gredator]]<br />
:3. [[Apexis]]<br />
:4. [[Windrazor (Mini-Con)|Windrazor]]<br />
:5. [[Gnashteeth]]<br />
:6. [[Reptix]]<br />
:7. [[Ironlunge]]<br />
:8. [[Refuser]]<br />
:9. [[Rockblade]]<br />
:10. [[Detectus]]<br />
:11. [[Chromebite]]<br />
