Notes

[edit]
  1. ↑ Micromaster Patrol Assortment 1 began shipping in late 1988, and sported packaging that looked drastically different from the "proper" 1989 Micromaster output. Instead of the redesigned silver packaging with the all-new "Transformers" logo, they came on cards that pretty much still resembled the packaging style that had been used up to that point, and sported a unique "Micro Transformers" logo.
