	The [[1983]] "MC-01 Micross" toy from Takara's ''[[Micro Change]]'' line was available in three color schemes: two shades of blue (the original release), black and red (packaged with "[[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Soundwave And Condor Cassette: Buzzsaw\|Cassette Man]]"), and red and blue (sold late in the series). When Hasbro licensed the figure and released it as part of their ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|Transformers]]'' line in [[1984]], the two-blues figure became [[Frenzy (G1)\|Frenzy]], and the black-and-red one became [[Rumble (G1)\|Rumble]] (and then the [[The Transformers (cartoon)\|cartoon]] swapped the two characters' color schemes; see "[[FIRRIB]]" for ''that'' mess), but the red-and-blue figure was not used.

Not intended to represent a specific existing ''Transformers'' character, the toys ~~where~~ given only the generic label of "Decepticon/Enemy" where a character name would normally appear (similar to the "[[Freedom Fighter\|Autobot/Freedom Fighter]]" designation Nasta used on certain generic Autobot-themed products). Subsequently, online fandom would sometimes call this obscure little robot "Enemy", as if he were a real character and that were his proper name; examples can be found as far back as [[2001]] in the pages of [[unofficial guidebooks#Cybertronian: The Unofficial Transformers Recognition Guide\|''The Unofficial Transformers Recognition Guide'']], and culminated in TFWiki itself creating this very article in [[2007]], listing both Nasta toys, observing their similarity to the unused ''Micro Change'' colour scheme, and humourously (as we're wont to do around here!) acting as if "Enemy" was a real character.

It's unlikely (though not ''impossible'') that it was a direct reference, but both toys shared the same basic colour scheme as the unused red-and-blue version of the Micross robot. Not intended to represent a specific existing ''Transformers'' character, the toys were given only the generic label of "Decepticon/Enemy" where a character name would normally appear (similar to the "[[Freedom Fighter\|Autobot/Freedom Fighter]]" designation Nasta used on certain generic Autobot-themed products). Subsequently, online fandom would sometimes call this obscure little robot "Enemy", as if he were a real character and that were his proper name; examples can be found as far back as [[2001]] in the pages of [[unofficial guidebooks#Cybertronian: The Unofficial Transformers Recognition Guide\|''The Unofficial Transformers Recognition Guide'']], and culminated in TFWiki itself creating this very article in [[2007]], listing both Nasta toys, observing their similarity to the unused ''Micro Change'' colour scheme, and humourously (as we're wont to do around here!) acting as if "Enemy" was a real character. Article creator and TFWiki admin [[David Willis]] took the joke further in 2011, when he made Enemy an official part of ''Transformers'' canon by introducing a [[Enemy (SG)\|''Shattered Glass'' version of him]] in his ''[[Recordicons]]'' strip.

	In [[2012]], Takara reissued of the original toy in its unused ''Micro Change'' colors as part of the ''[[Transformers Encore\|Encore]]'' line under the name "Enemy". We can't sit here and say it with 100% ''absolute'' certainty, but we're pretty sure they got the idea to do so from this article... especially since he was released alongside other ''extremely'' obscure characters we ''also'' happened to have articles for—[[Nightstalker (G1)\|Nightstalker]], [[Stripes]], and [[Wingthing (G1)\|Wingthing]]!
