	The ''Micronauts'' line debuted in [[1977]] as Mego's first original series (albeit using toys licensed from [[TakaraTomy\|Takara's]] ''[[Microman]]'' line) after finding success with licensed properties; it ran successfully until around [[1980]], when Mego began to lose sales and ultimately shut down in [[1983]], though the popular Marvel comic series by [[Bill Mantlo]] (who would also write the comic adaptation of ''[[Rom\|ROM: Spaceknight]]'') outlived it, running until [[1986]].

	''Micronauts'' focuses on the titular team; a group of misfits from the tiny universe of [[Microspace]], who aim to save their world from the [[entropy storm]] while dealing with the war between {{i\|Baron Daegon}}'s {{i\|Ministry of Science}} and [[Baron Karza]]'s {{i\|Ministry of Defense}}.

	~~==Franchise notes~~==
	The ''Micronauts'' line debuted in [[1977]] as Mego's first original series (albeit using toys licensed from [[TakaraTomy\|Takara's]] ''[[Microman]]'' line) after finding success with licensed properties; it ran successfully until around [[1980]], when Mego began to lose sales and ultimately shut down in [[1983]], though the popular Marvel comic series by [[Bill Mantlo]] (who would also write the comic adaptation of ''[[Rom\|ROM: Spaceknight]]'') outlived it, running until [[1986]]. However, there was one particular influence that the toys had: much of their engineering was borrowed by [[Hasbro]] for their ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)\|G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero]]'' line.

			==IDW comic==
			The straightforwardly titled "''Micronauts''" was a 2016 ongoing comic series by [[IDW Publishing]], based on the 1977 toyline by {{w\|Mego Corporation\|Mego}}. Though it wasn't the first licensed ''Micronauts'' comic, the [[Marvel Comics]] ''{{w\|Micronauts (comics)\|Micronauts}}'' series coming before it, it used a different cast of characters and characterisations thanks to Marvel's ownership of the characters they created for their series.<ref>Unlike the ''Transformers'' license, which gave Hasbro ownership of any characters that debuted in the comic, the ''Micronauts'' and ''ROM: Spaceknight'' licenses gave the rights to any characters originating in the comics to Marvel.</ref>

			The series crossed over with IDW's ''Transformers'' titles in 2016 as part of the [[Revolution]] event, with the [[Micronaut\|titular characters]] travelling from [[Microspace\|their universe]] to normal space.
