Micro Machines is a toyline originally produced by Galoob, with a long history of interaction with Transformers.
When Micro Machines first debuted in 1987, the television commercials were voiced by the record-breakingly fast-spoken John Moschitta, who also voiced the Transformer Blurr in the same manner. A year later, Hasbro decided to compete in the "micro toys" market by launching the Micromasters play pattern (originally named "Micro Transformers"), which would make up half of Hasbro's Transformers output for 1989 and 1990. In 1996, Hasbro again tried to compete with Micro Machines in the form of the MicroVerse play pattern, featuring not only Beast Wars-branded sets, but also Tonka and G.I. Joe vehicles.
In 1998, Hasbro bought Galoob, and from 2006 through 2009, new Transformers figures both small and large were released under a Micro Machines subdivision called Titanium Series.
Starting in 2022, official Transformers Micro Machines sets began being produced by Jazwares under license from Hasbro.
