Micro Trailers were a gimmick introduced by Takara for Battlestars: The Return of Convoy, the 1991 line of Japanese Transformers. Since Takara were releasing the previous year's Hasbro product and declined to market any of the Action Masters, this line was completely dominated by the Micromaster play pattern and the Micro Trailers were created to add more play value to it. Every set released in the line, save Grandus and Sixliner, came with a futuristic tractor trailer with the trailer section large enough to fit one Micromaster. They are spring-loaded, and by pressing a tab located below the Micro Trailer's front windows you can shoot a Micromaster across smooth surfaces. The back ends also feature connectors to attach them to any "W" Team (aka Micromaster Combiner) member. Sky Garry was designed to carry three of these little transports, while Grandus has space in his "base" mode for one.

Fourteen "different" Micro Trailers were produced, distinguished by the unique stickers that went on the sides of the trailer section.

Sadly, the cab section does not detach and transform into another Micromaster for your Autobot army.
